Measurement updates

[drewan]

I had my training session over lunch today. It being the first of the month again, it was time to weigh in and measure up.

For the most part the numbers are great. My body fat percentage has decreased from 18.35% to 16.46%, I've gone from 30.6 pounds of body fat down to 27.3 pounds, while gaining 2.1 pounds of muscle.

The only weird number was by arm circumference measurement which went down from 13.25 inches to 13. I guess I need to work on my arms more, though my shoulders increased by 1.25 inches.

How are you measuring your bodyfat? That one is tricky... there are so many ways it can be off...

I've never done the body immersion technique... but would like to do it someday.

Gratz on your numbers!

Shaping up!!!
