In early August I got a dexa scan and did a cut for about 6 weeks after (dropped 8 or 9 pounds). Then I have been bulking since then for the past 3+ months and have put on about 12-14 pounds. Today I got another dexa and it showed that I have gained 1 pound of muscle since the last one. This is frustrating and I am trying to trouble shoot.

Is dropping too much muscle in the cut the most likely culprit here, assuming I was training hard for both the cut and the bulk?

Thanks.
