I’m taking body measurements occasionally. Without BMI this could all be fat, but it’s directionally interesting.

Resources

  • ExRx goes deep, the ultimate reference for how to develop particular muscle groups, develop workout plans, handle injuries, and on and on.
  • Julian Shapiro’s Guide to building muscle covers the entire enterprise, from prep to habit to nutrition to end-game. I’m going to adapt the workouts, but this is my initial go-to for overall weight-lifting structure, measurement, and nutrition.
  • Stronger by Science is a research driven blog on exercise and muscle building. It’s a firehose of scattered information, but also a treasure-trove of well-written articles.
