*cough* Should be relaxed: Body Measurements.

linky said:

Measure body parts in their relaxed state. Ensure that muscles are not flexed, particularly the biceps - bodybuilders have a natural tendency to do this - as this will produce an inconsistent result given there is usually a wide variation between individual, flexed body parts. For example, a flexed biceps will increase in size more than a flexed calf.

Well.... you're both bds. Bullies.

I'm happy I've hit 22"
I'd be happy if it were 19" if I were lean!

I would be killed instantaneously, and no apology would be forthcoming

Meh, that'll do.......

[TheJimi]

To be fair, you'd need to catch him first

Anyway, how *is* everyone's progress?

Me? I've just been ticking over really, nursing a couple of shoulder niggles, so I haven't been progressing much in terms of strength. Aesthetics, yes, but that's just down to the change in training focus.

Another couple of months and I'll get back into the strength stuff. Target is 180kg squat @ c73kg BW.

[smiffy180]

Why does everyone assume heavy people are slow? I'm like the flash.... with a bit of weight gain

I'm staying quiet about my progress for a bit
Just getting closer to my targets I set at beginning of the thread

Also bought this for £47
35kg solid 2" axle (45 with weights on)

[TheJimi]

Tbh, it's less an assumption that you're slow and more that he's quick

Stupid question - what do you do with it?

Deads, squats, OHP, bench if you want.......
it was a stupid question really wasn't it

next comp in November is max axle using (I think) a scaffold pole with wheels attached.

This will also improve grip massively

[Hoofy]

So it's just a thicker bar then?

What about the one on wheels??

edit: here's a pic from my comp I'm doing

[Hoofy]

Presumably they slide weights onto it to make it difficult to shift about rather than trying to build a structure that would make H&S people cry.
