Are my measurments good?

[needtobeswoledup]

I don't know if this is the right forum for posting this but here goes. I took measurments today:

biceps 16 1/8 inches
chest 41.5 inches
waist 34 inches
forearms 13 inches
Calves 14.5 inches(yes they need lots of work)
I am 21 5'9 and weigh 177.

I used to be a 32 inch wait and am feeling fat..... i put my measurments in a bf calculator and get like 18 percent but i can see my top 4 abs??? Also does anyone know a site or something that tells what the perfect symetary(sp?) is? I know calves and biceps are supposed to be the same but not sure about the rest.... thanks.

Male or female?

Calcs don't work.

Alot of our measurements are the same...

 

[needtobeswoledup]

sorry male

I have an old pic here: http://www.anabolicreview.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29216

I'm a tad smaller and quite a bit leaner than that pic too. I'd say 2-3% leaner

What are your glutes, shoulders, and quads?

 

[needtobeswoledup]

How do you measure glutes and shoulders?

Quads are "sigh" 24.5

 

[spatts]

I use shoulders with arms straight down to the sides, and glutes I do at the fullest part fo the tushie.

 

[needtobeswoledup]

If I am doing it right(measuring from bottom of armpit up around to top of shoulder?) shoulders are 22. OR are you supposed to go underneath top of armpit to outside of shoulder(like arm except highest point u can go?) Glutes are 39

 

[spatts]

LMAO....around your shoudlers...the circumference....tape goes around your body at the shoulder....parallel to the floor.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm asking. Any measurements are fine if you feel good inside them. It's hard to visualize all these without pics anyway.

 

[needtobeswoledup]

Hehe ok i got ya know about the shoulder thing.... it's 12:30 here and i guess it's showing Shoulders where 47.... there is one pic in the link in my 1st reply in this post.... i'm just posting wondering if my waist seems big compared to the rest of my measurments and maybe to get an estimate of what kind of bf i'm at?

 

[spatts]

Y u l o g e t !!!

I'll give you the other half of my response when you post the other half of your body.

Damn that was cheesey...

 

[needtobeswoledup]

Uhh... is it me being the late thing again or am i missing out when i dont understand what u mean by "Y u l o g e t".... i'll try and get a pic of my lower half to post tommorow but it is by far my worst body part.

 

[spatts]

The whole lower half is your worst part?

 

[needtobeswoledup]

Hey now!! I meant my legs!

 

[michaelcoutts]

why did u say you looked like shit on the anabolic forum.

I mean you would look better than the majoriy of the fat fucking arse or skinny little bitch population of American or for any country. I bet everyone on this forum absolutely shits on 90% of the general population, body and strength wise.

And this forum is really for everything and everyone dude so keep on posting.

 

[needtobeswoledup]

Well reason for posting is kind of to get an idea of bf and if my waist is 2 big... i'm about to start a cycle of t400/eq and wanted to make sure i wasn't carrying 2 much bf before i started. Reason I said I looked like shit is because I don't look as good as i want 2 and yeh i might look better than 90% out there but i want to be better than 95% or more..... so in my mind i do.... I know now i'm gonna get all sorts of comments about you should have more self confidence etc but I know where I am and where I want to be and i'm not there.

body type

I know what you mean I used to be 40 inch waist(50 lbs overweight) , now down to 34 inches, and still want to drop below a 30 if that is possible... once you get the fitness kick hard (ive had it a year), its hard to make yourself get fat again and you are always wanting to improve.

 

[coolcolj]

My waist is about yours, and I'm not fat by any means, just a little chubby

 

[Citruscide]

Chubby... or that lifter stomach?? I never get too upset as long as my chest sticks out further than my stomach and my shoulders are alot wider than my waist...

C-ditty

 

[coolcolj]

no I'm chubby in a slightly bulked up way - I used to have a waist under 30inches in my younger years, now I can pinch quite a bit more lose skin around the obliques

But when your lower back gets thicker, abs as well, even though my waist is no wider from the front, it is thicker from the side view, so the tape measure goes up. Add some fat to that, and boom its a few inches up

good one!...i said that to a friend of mine once.

 

[spatts]

I call that the "pooh." A little pooh is just fine. My husband got alot of pooh after he married me, and started eating my lasagna.

I don't know. Are you statisfied with these measurements? If not, you have answered your question. If so, you have answered your question.
