What does your flexed forearm measure?

[endorphin_junkie]

Thanks Charlotte, I'll give it a go}( I'll complete the picture with lots of contorted facial expression and loud grunts! Not a bad idea actually then maybe my family will be scared off and leave me be while I WORK IT!!!

Well, I don't know how to measure flab. It won't hold still long enough. LOL

Charlotte and Robin, both of your pictures are fabulous. (I didn't have time to check out anyone else's today) How long did it take to get bodies like that? How often and what type and for how long do you work out? Please, please, please tell me. I've been stuck at my current level of fitness and really need to find the secret to push myself to improve.

As for the underwear question. Dang. If I had a body that looked like yours, I wouldn't wear underwear. Heck I wouldn't wear clothes. I'd have to join a nudist colony just to show it off everyday. You'll know if I ever reach that level. I'll be the one running around naked.

I think my last post sounded a lot better in my head. Sorry if I came across kind of squirrelly.

Thank you, Jean! I love it when a post makes me laugh out loud! Not squirrely, funny!

I'm partial to the Jockey Classic French Cut (not the Elance) undies....they are just so comfy and fit me almost perfectly. They do look a tiny bit boyish with the jockey logo, but absolutely never granny-like}( }( ;-) ;-) I just love cotton....of course, I do have another draw for the "gonna get what I want" stuff;-) I will so deny I ever wrote that!

VS always has XS in stock. They have great cotton bikini.

VS's extra smalls are too big. I have to take in their XS boxers or they fall down around my ankles with just a wiggle)

It's very late here and I am confused. Why is there "undies" talk on the forearms issue? Now do I have to have something else?

P.S.
This PMS/perimenopause/lack of sleep thing hit for the first time in a long time tonight. That could explain why the heck I'm even here right now.

my god, Charlotte, that's impressive. Boy do I feel stupid with my "I did ten curls at 20#" post! :+ How long has it taken you to get there?

Wrist: 6
Forearm: 9.25
Bicep: 11.5

Hmm.

This was really difficult for me to measure!!! Wait a second... maybe I should have measured my left arm, instead of my right since I'm right handed!! LOL

ETA: my stupid thighs are still at 23. x( x( x( I don't have time to do Freestyle every day!!! Argh. I want to fit into normal pants!!! None of them fit right now since I need to get big sizes to get past the stupid thighs. NO MORE LIFTING HEAVY with my legs!!!x( Shame on me!!!

forearm: 9.5

[40something]

wrist=6.5
forearm=9.0
bicep=10.75

I for one am very satisfied with the tone/strength in my arms. I always smile to myself when people my age...40something...will comment to me about how great my arms 'still' look and how they won't wear sleeveless tops anymore because of the sag and jiggle.

Shoot Melody. Now do I have to measure my forearm without the undies wrapped around it and the winter coat? That may just bring the my bicep measurement w/coat measurments down 1/8 of an inch and I need every little bit added to that measurement. (Heck, you saw Charlotte's numbers!!!)

Aw, I do hope you sleep better tonight.

PS. Jean, I just may have done that on vacation....but I will never ever tell ;-)
