What the "Leaner Muscle Mass" (LMM) Standard Means



Aspect What It Looks Like


Muscle mass Enough to be visibly muscular – defined abs, a visible mid‑section and well‑toned limbs.


Body fat Typically < 15 % for men, < 20 % for women (often around 10–12 % for the leanest athletes).


Visual cue A "clean" look: low subcutaneous fat but still enough to protect joints and provide a natural range of motion.


In short, it’s a balanced physique that looks athletic rather than bulk‑heavy.

2️⃣ Why Most People Fall Short



Reason What Happens How It Can Be Fixed


Dietary mis‑balance Over‑eating carbs or fats; under‑protein intake. Track macros, aim for ~1.6–2.0 g protein/kg, moderate carbs around workouts.


Uncontrolled portions Even healthy foods can add up. Use a food scale or visual portion guidelines (hand‑sized portions).


Low activity level Sitting most of the day → fewer calories burned. Add light movement (walking, desk breaks) + 2–3 strength sessions per week.


Poor sleep / stress Hormones like cortisol increase appetite and fat storage. Target 7‑8 h/night, incorporate relaxation routines.

4️⃣ How to Track Your Progress




Body Weight & Waist Circumference


- Record weekly (same day/time).

- Expect ~0.5–1 kg weight loss per week if you’re in a modest calorie deficit.





Strength Gains


- Keep a simple log of the heaviest set you can complete for each exercise (e.g., bench press 60 kg × 8 reps).

- Even small increases indicate progress.





Photos & Feelings


- Take front/side/back photos monthly; changes may be subtle but are real.

- Note how clothes fit and your energy levels.





Body Composition (Optional)


- If you have a smart scale or can get a body composition scan, track %body fat vs. muscle mass over time.



Nutrition Check


- Roughly estimate protein intake (~1.6–2 g/kg of body weight) and caloric balance; adjust if needed.





Putting It All Together



Week Focus Key Tasks


1-4 Strength building, form mastery Compound lifts (3×10), progressive overload, 2–3 sessions/week


5-8 Hypertrophy & conditioning 4×12 hypertrophy sets, supersets for arms/legs, cardio 2x/wk


9+ Advanced technique & maintenance Incorporate advanced lifts (clean/power), continue progressive overload, reassess goals


Remember: The biggest gains come from consistency, gradual progression, and paying attention to recovery. Use the data you gather to adjust loads and volume appropriately.
