Day 67: Size doesn't matter.

One of the metrics which I just thought about and wish I had recorded was the circumference of my thy. It's measurable, easily obtainable and it would definitely show a trend towards atrophy, etc.

Even though it's a bit too late to keep record now, I decided to break out the cloth tape measure and see what I was. The doctor was right. My right (surgery) leg was larger.

24.5-24.75 vs 24-24.25. I tried taking the measurement at the same place and apply the same amount of tension. I repeated it a few times until I settled on those measurements.

When I went to Google to determine how I was doing I was suprised at the lack of information. They have chest and bicep sizes for weightlifters, but not leg. I did find this USE AND MISUSE OF THE TAPE-MEASURE AS A MEANS OF ASSESSING MUSCLE STRENGTH AND POWER. Which I believe, I know my right leg isn't up to 100% par with my left. I just wish I measured the entire time so that I'd know what it was doing the whole time. Especially when there was atrophy that people commented on in the early weeks.

While I had the tape measure out curiosity got the best of me... and should I ever need a manzier/bro I'm a 42B.
