Growth of muscle bulk, including biceps, can report not only about that, how successfully you are engaged, but also about your sports potential in general. To measure biceps volume business not difficult. The measurement should be made in centimeter.
It is required to you
- - biceps;
- - centimetric tape.
Instruction
1. Measure the biceps not right after the intensive occupation sporot, and in the so-called ""cold"" state. That is, at least several hours later after the training. Only this way its true size is defined, right after the muscle training temporarily increase, but this volume then falls down.
2. Carry out measurements in two provisions. At first bend the hand in the elbow and lay centimeter around the biceps on the speakers to its points. From outer side of the hand the centimeter has to lie on the triceps. Write down result. Then straighten the hand and completely relax it. Again measure on the same points, as before. And again record result. If you work on increase in muscles, then it is necessary to write down each measurement that then it was easier to monitor progress. Naturally, it is better to keep organized records in one document on the computer or the same notebook.
3. Pay attention to the difference between biceps volume in the bent and weakened state. This difference is called the excursion and usually reaches no more than six centimeters. The more difference, the more your athletic potential. At the beginning it usually doesn't exceed two-three centimeters.
4. If at you the excursion more than six centimeters turned out, most likely, you were mistaken in measurements. However, consider what influences this parameter also and the triceps, and therefore at trainings pay not smaller attention to work on this muscle.
5. At measurements you rumple that the centimeter shouldn't stick into the hand, but also not dangle. For the correct maintaining statistics measure biceps volume approximately once a month, at the same time day, it is desirable on the hungry stomach. The measurement is carried out at once several times to be convinced of the accuracy of the received figures.
