Measurements and Posing

New measurements have now been taken, as I said in my video diary. I'll list a few so that you guys can get an idea of my size at the moment.....

Height ......................6' 2 Inches
Bodyweight..............87.4KGs
Body fat...................20.5%
Chest........................42 1/4 Inches
Upper thigh (L)........24 1/4 Inches
Upper thigh (R)........24 Inches
Calf (L).....................14 1/2 Inches
Calf (R).....................14 1/4 Inches
Biceps Flexed (L).....16 1/2 Inches
Biceps Flexed (R).....16 1/4 Inches

Obviously lacking in some areas, and there is a slight imbalance in some pairs of muscles. But, its a starting point. Legs are the main focus of course! So they're getting hit as and when they feel recovered.

There are more posing shots, but I'm thinking of more practice before they make it online!! Was quite pleased with the Lat spread, though I need to work on my lower back more.

It begins....

This is entry number one! The purpose of this blog is to track and capture my journey towards my dream of becoming a professional bodybuilder. It sounds crazy right? Or like a passing thought of a dream - one a guy in a gym might have just because he wants to be bigger!! But this is more than that....I am going to catalogue my training and my progress yes. But I am also going to uncover my dreams, uncover my motivations, go into what makes this aspiration my path of choice and hopefully inspire and educate along the way.

I have been training myself for a number of years, and my training has always been a cornerstone of my life. Something from which I gain strength, balance and at times, resolve.
