Muscles growing, yet they feel soft, what gives?

[youlikeadajuice?]

I'm new to this so bear with me. I've added 2 inches to my bis since I've been working out, yet they still feel soft when at rest.

Is this a diet problem, or is it a high bf?? My bf is 15%

They are going to feel alot softer at rest regardless of body fat

Creatine &/or AAS will remedy that problem.

On Creatine or Test, mine are hard all the time. Not "flexed hard", but definitely solid.

Doesn't Creatine cause the muscles to retain more water? Maybe that's why they feel harder while using it.

It does, yes.

Not to be the bearer of bad news here, but your bf is relatively high.......I'm around 8% and never, ever fell soft..........

Speaking of creatine, do you guys cycle it .. if so, at what intervals?

 

[JKurz1]

same time on as off....6-7 weeks...........

 

[Tom Treutlein]

I heard there's no need to cycle it from an HST article I read.

 

[super_rice]

considering you don't need more than 5g a day supposedly...

 

[BOOEY]

The reason why I asked is b/c I've heard you don't need to cycle, and have also heard you do need to cycle. Being that creatine is natural within the body, I don't see why you would need to cycle it. On the other hand, so is testosterone, and we all know about the necessity of cycling that!

id say its because of your bf

Who says there is a "necessity to cycle" Test? Who says you can't stay on it all year 'round at low doses??

That's true, I was thinking of higher dosages.
