How do I test my muscle mass growth?
Four main techniques are commonly used to measure skeletal muscle mass and/or quality: bioelectric impedance (BIA), dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
What is a good muscle mass percentage?
A good lean muscle percentage range should be about 70% to 90% to be considered healthy. That means that your body fat percentage ranges from 10-30%. Athletes typically range in the 7-22% body fat. Men tend to be on the higher side with lean mass in 80-90% range and woman in the 70-85% range.
