Dimensions update, Dec 27

[dvandom]

Time for another look at my units of measurement. Last post about this was December 8, the number in parentheses is the change since then.

Weight: 225.5 lbs (-7 lbs)
Chest: 44"-48" (-1" on both)
Belly: 43"-49" (-1" on both)
Beltline: 37" (unchanged)
Hips: 39" (unchanged)

I'm not keeping track of height, since I HOPE that wouldn't be changing. :) Nor am I measuring my arms...I may have started doing some dumbbell work, but that's for tone, not bulk. Oh, and I did check the other day...I can now wear 2XL shirts without showing off an equator of belly when I lift my arms.

Doing regular weight work, light or not, will put some mass on if you've never done it regularly before. Probably not a lot, but "tone" is an imaginary term.

Yeah, mass I'm expecting. In fact, while I lost 7 pounds overall, I figure it was probably something like 8-10 pounds of fat countered by some muscle gain. But I doubt I'll pick up enough muscle to change the circumference of my arms or legs noticeably. :)

- fat + muscle, may stay the same. Hard to tell, but who the hell measures their arm circumfrence besides Hulk Hogan, anyway?

jameel does. :) Mind you, he's working out at a level of intensity that SHOULD make noticeable differences in that sort of thing.

I went through a similar phase. I get his posts.

I have to make those measurements in order to regulate my diet during the mass-building phases of my regimen. During fat-burning phases, I just measure weight, waist, and body fat percentage.

I post those measurements so that everyone can smell what Jameel is cooking.

If you're not in shape, you can't have shirtless icons!

Word.

I will never be allowed to have a shirtless icon. Trust me, you don't wanna see it.
