--- Quote from: LBSS on July 13, 2010, 11:07:47 pm ---Measurements taken after eating a lot of food.

Wrist: 7 (difference from ideal measurements below in parentheses)
Chest: 42 (-3.5)
Forearm: 12 (-1.2)
Biceps: 13.75 (-2.35)
Waist: 30.5 (-0.7)
Thigh: 23 (-1.1)
Hips: 38 (-0.7)
Calf: 15 (-0.5)
Neck: 15 (-1.8 )

So I need a bit bigger everything, particularly chest, forearm, neck and biceps. In order to look like a Greek statue, that is.

Foot length: 10.75
Foot width: 4.25
Index toe length: 2.75

UPDATE

According to this calculator: [broken link, can't find the calculator anymore], I have a maximum lifting potential of:
bench 343
oly squat (high bar ATG) 472
power squat 515
DL 550

bumping for funsies and in case anyone else wants to give this a shot. the link to the "ideal greek measurements" page is here: http://www.fitness.com/tools/greek_proportions/. my updated measurements are below, with difference from "ideal" for my wrist measurement in parentheses.

Wrist: 7
Chest: 43 (-2.5)
Forearm: 12.5 (-0.7)
Biceps: 14 (-2.1)
Waist: 31.5 (+0.8 )
Thigh: 24.5 (+0.4)
Hips: 38.5 (-0.2)
Calf: 15.75 (+0.25)
Neck: 15.5 (-1.3)

still with the skinny biceps, chest and neck, but numbers up across the board since 2010. waist a bit over (there's those five holiday pounds, lol) and thigh and hips a bit over.

for consistency, if anyone wants to do the same:
-bicep flexed with arm bent, forearm flexed with wrist slightly bent
-chest relaxed standing straight, nipple height; waist and neck also relaxed standing straight
-thigh standing with weight on that leg but not actively flexing, same for hips
-calf seated with leg bent but not actively flexing

adarqui:
just measured, to have some kind of baseline for the high volume walking lunge phase (to see if it puts any mass on).

thigh: ~21.5"
vmo: ~15"

LBSS:
just re-took these out of curiosity, because i'm starting the anderson pull up thing and kind of hoping i'll actually add a little mass to my upper body. needed to retake the baseline. somewhat incredibly, i'm almost exactly where i was 10 years ago.

chest: 42.5
forearm: didn't measure
biceps: 14
waist: 30.5
thigh: 23
hips: 37 (i thought my ass had gotten smaller)
calf: 15.5
neck: 15

i guess probably a lot of 33-year-olds would be glad to have the same measurements they had at 23. anyway just thought that was funny. my weight has fluctuated by ~20 pounds in that time but i'm right back to where i was. gonna make dessert a more regular thing and see what happens.
