You need to get your fat % checked at a local gym or by a doctor - you can even buy a skin caliper online They are reasonably priced at http://www.topendsports.com/testing/stor...
I think the pinch test works the best not the digital - the digital isn't accurate.
here is a link that shows exactly where to put the pinch http://www.topendsports.com/testing/skin...
You'll know!
if u are gaining lean mass,, which means you see your legs, arms, chest, etc gaining more muscle... if u are gaining fat, you will see more loose fatty tissue, like your stomach swelling out, more water retention...
bones, you will just look thicker...
buy a bodyfat caliper from gnc and practice with it, measure once a week first thing in the morning
