New Measurements

Right, bit of a delay since my last write up as I’ve been short of time. I’ve done a few workouts since I last wrote. I’ve started using my dip belt and I’m now up to bodyweight plus an additional 10kg’s. I haven’t improved on squats or deads as I wanted to get my form spot on with the heavier weight before trying to up it again. I have also started to alternate these each session.
On Saturday I had a bit of an alcohol induced accident and bruised my shin badly so I just had to do an upper body session last night which was a bit annoying. Hopefully it will be back to normal for my next session on Thursday though.
I managed to take some measurements on Saturday too and although I can’t be sure I have measured in exactly the same place as last time I have tried to be as accurate as possible. My stats as of 19.01.08 are as follows:

Chest: Relaxed 37'', Tensed 38.5''
Left Arm: Relaxed 12.5'', Tensed 13.5''
Right Arm: Relaxed 12.5', Tensed 14''
Waist: 32''
Neck: 15''

Going by these new measurements I have gained an inch on my chest and half an inch on each arm which isn’t bad but I would have liked more. I think I could have made better gains but as originally I was trying to cut I wasn’t eating enough to put on more muscle. Now I’ve decided to go for a bulk I need to get more food down my neck and hopefully I should see some better gains!
