Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Why You Need to Stop Weighing Yourself with Gary Slater

Hey you! Put the scales away and listen up!

Many triathletes are interested in measuring their body composition. Whether it’s losing body fat or gaining muscle. Endurance athletes strive to be leaner, lighter and faster because you have to carry your weight across a long distance.

One of the major challenges with this is actually trying to track and measure body composition change. You’re probably using the scales as a way of measuring. but this episode explains why there are major limitations to the scales.

Listen in to my conversation with body composition manipulation expert Gary Slater. Gary is a fellow Advanced Sports Dietitian, Exercise Physiologist and loves using himself as an n=1 experiment for maximum muscle hypertrophy gains.

Gary explains why you need to stop relying on the scales and what to do instead if you want to really track changes in your body composition.
