My Own Weights & Measures Table

I took the table of my weight measurements using the Tanita composite scales into the gym today to show the instructor who measured me. The most interesting thing about these results is how much they differ during the day and from day to day even though I have been measuring myself nearly every morning as......»

Six Pack!

I noticed a six pack coming back when getting out of the shower today. I have similar body fat % as previous recordings so no change there. So what has changed? Are the body composition scales may not be telling the full story? I have not been doing any abdominal work for 5-6 weeks so......»

Video Content in ‘The Gym’

Tightness around upper pec major

Had tightness around upper pec major today that I noticed around 4pm. This came on very quickly and was uncomfortable while driving.

Bat-wings!

Done back workout at 9pm with bent over rows only. Then did parallel bat-wings on bench for scapula. Agreed with gym instructors that one of them would take measurements every three weeks for me to monitor my progress....»
