When anyone embarks on building muscle on of the very first things you should do is write down your measurements.
It is going to be far easier to gauge how much progress you have made if you have some hard data.
Gaining weight is one of those things in life that build up slowly, at first it may not seem you are making the gains that you wanted.
When you refer back to your original numbers you may be amazed at exactly how far you have come.
One giant effort in the gym is not going to give you your results..
...
This is a game of repeated effort.
Many people actually get discouraged in the beginning and its no wonder.
They are thinking they are going to be as big as the Incredible Hulk in a month.
Do not get sucked into all the hype.
There is always going to be somebody bigger or stronger.
However that is not to say that impressive results can not be had.
Below I have listed the measurements of Charles Atlas.
Charles Atlas' measurements were as follows: Height - 5′10″ Weight - 180 pounds Neck - 17″ Chest (normal) - 47″ Biceps (flexed) - 17″ Forearms - 14.
5″ Waist - 32″ Thighs - 23.
75″ Calves - 16.
25″ What I love most about this is the fact that these results are completely achievable for the average man.
Charles Atlas had said many times that there were plenty of bigger contestants in the shows that he won, but that he was the best proportioned.
This makes perfect sense.
We have all seen people that have a massive upper body yet a very weak looking lower body and it just does not seem quite right.
With the proper diet, workout plan and motivation these results could easily be yours.
If you take your measurements now you might find your not to far of from the legendary Charles Atlas! To Your Health
