It's a bummer to be terribly misinformed, but I'll take my own muscle mass gains as a consolation prize. We can't have everything, I guess.

- enraged_camel 14y agoIt's good that you got stronger (for the reasons I explained). But unless you are doing some hardcore yoga, it is extremely unlikely that you actually gained muscle mass. (As proof, you can look at any long-term yoga instructor who wasn't muscular to begin with.)
- timr 14y agoOr, you know...as proof, I can use the gains I've measured in my own body. No, that can't be it...
- enraged_camel 14y agoI addressed this in my original post: "unless you were so unfit when you began yoga that even simple poses worked the hell out of your muscles."
- timr 14y agoI was not unfit when I began yoga.
- enraged_camel 14y agoOkay, so let's get down to specifics. Two questions: 1. How did you measure your lean muscle mass? 2. How did you conclude that it increased due to yoga and not something else?
- jacques_chester 14y agoWhich are? Genuinely curious.
