Measurements

Today I decided to do my measurements again.  Something I haven't done in two years, so this was going to be interesting.  I've come a long ass way from the 135 pounds weak as shit couldn't do a single dip I used to be when I started working out.  I'm proud of where I have come, but still feel I got some work to do.  Being I have been at this for so many years progress is much slower, I gain wait as fast as a snail crawls across your window.  Luckily in two years there is a difference, below I'll post my current measurements and weight and in brackets post what I was at the end of 2010.

Weight - 190 (177)

Shoulders - 52 (49)
Chest - 43 (42)
Stomach - 34.25 (32)
Right Arm - 15 (14)
Left Arm - 14.5 (13.75)
Right Leg - 24.5 (22.5)
Left Leg - 24.5 (22.5)

So 13 pounds ahead, I'm pretty pleased with that, it seems to take my a long ass time to put weight on my lanky frame.  It usually seems to go no where and then all of a sudden I gain 5 pounds, it's random, but 190 is of course the most I have ever weighed, closing in on that 200 pound goal.  Based on the training I did this past little bit, and the fact that I had an elbow injury that prevented almost all chest work for I believe up to 6 months, I shouldn't be too surprised it only went up one inch.  Having said that my chest has always been a week point, my barbell bench simply sucks.  On the plus side, when I wasn't working my chest, I was doing loads of olympic lifting and deadlifts and squats, so my legs took a beating, and rightfully so they went up 2 inches each, that even surprised me I was very pleased.  I was also happy with the 3 inch add to my shoulders, olympic lifting also helped there, 255 overhead would help but that's also due to a lot of back work.  My arms went up an inch (almost on the one side) which sounds about right, stomach up too but being my midsection looks exactly the same I think it was more my lower back muscles.  Happy with results, even though it's been a while.
