How can i know if i've gained muscle mass or water retention? i workout 5-6 x /week

Measure: A tailor's tape measure wrapped around your thigh or biceps will show the muscle growth. If you're working out be sure to drink plenty of water and replace your salt, calcium and magnesium. Since muscle is very dense you may well gain weight but it is a good thing.
