One key ratio from your measurements will certainly help salt you gauge your progress, and this is the ratio of your biceps measurement to your waist measurement. I take them salt both flexed. Let's say your flexed biceps is 16 inches and your waist measurement (with abs flexed) is 32 inches. This is a 2:1 ratio (2.0). As long as this number stays the same or is going down, you should be gaining muscle and salt losing fat. For example, if you end up with 17-inch biceps and a 32- inch waist, the ratio drops to 32:17 or 1.88 from 2.0. If, on the other hand, your waist stayed the same but your flexed biceps diminished in size to 15 inches, the ratio would become 32:15 or 2.13. This would imply a loss of lean mass or increase in fat. The ScaleMany people are told to avoid the scale. While this is good advice when beginning a program, it can be an invaluable tool for continued fitness.
