    measurements?

    When taking measurements to chart progress where are the best places to run the tape. I ran across the thickest part of my bi (arm bent not flexed), chest across my nips, waist around my belly button, thighs eight inches up from my knee, and calves at the thickest part. I know it is important to measure the same spot everytime and figured these would be easy spots to hit, but I wondered if they would be accurate indicators of my progress.

    Thanks,
    Dutch

    It doesnt really matter as long as you are measuring the same spots and in the same way everytime.

    I know that a lot of people take their measurements flexed. May as well give yourself some motivation as to your progress. Doesn't really matter though, as long as you measure the same way everytime.

    I always measure cold flexed at the peaks of bis and tris, thickest parts of legs and calves and arm pits for chest which includes the widest part of my lats.
