The Essential 'Shot

"These are the contents of my head"

Tuesday - November 11: Miscellany

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

The weigh in was a bit disappointing. It seems I've gained back about 5lbs. :( But fear not, as this new push toward fitness will see it melt back off soon enough I'm sure.

The bathroom scale tells me I'm 245lbs, so I want to lose at least 25 more. At that point, I shall reevaluate to see if there's more to lose or if I can move on to the maintenance portion of my fitness regimen. Measurements: Neck 18", Chest 47-1/2", Waist 42" (But I wear size 38 jeans???), Bicep 15-1/2", Thigh 25", Calf 17".

In my dream world, the final measurements should be as follows: Neck 18", Chest 52", Waist 36", Bicep 18", Thigh 27", Calf 18". I remember reading a long time ago, that there was some 'golden ratio' type proportion that the Romans considered "perfect". I can't recall anything other than the bit where it was said that Neck, Bicep and Calf should all be the same. That seems good enough for me.

I did NOT make it to the gym yesterday (Monday), but I did run on the treadmill while watching House M.D., so I'm taking partial credit for the day. In a bit, I'm off to the gym on this rainy Tuesday and shall punish my body accordingly for my poor start.

Updates to follow.

Ohhhhh...now see, I think that's a good start!

A bad start would have been all talk and no go--and you had GO!

52" to broad? I figured that would include the widened latissimi dorsi as well at the heaving pectorals.

Neck as big as your calf? Eep.
You'd look all beefy and strange wouldn't you?
