Measuring waist...

[Bobba]

I was thinking about writing down my current measures to see my progress as time goes by.

However I'm not quite sure how measuring the waist is done properly. Should I be relaxed, Flex my abs, or just "pull my stomach up in my throat" to reduce the measure as much as possible.

By the way I think most pro's do it the last way, when I see the pictures of their GH bellies and read their sometimes very unlikely measures.

do everything so its consistent. i do mine relaxed and not inhaling or exhaling. right across he belly button. if you start doing it one way keep with it that way. you can flex if you want but make sure you remember to do it the same the next time.

Why measure across the belly button? I always go way lower...Should I change that?

The commonly accepted place to measure should be 1inch above the navel.

WHAT ABOUT MEASURING YOUR THIGHS AND HIPS ? WHATS THE BEST WAY OF DOING THAT ?

 

[blood_drinker]

Thighs = upper thighs where they are largest. Be sure to be consistent.

Hips= not sure, not a lady, and have never measured a lady's hip.
