Think my stats aren't too bad right now but can definitely improve in some areas!

Age: 32
Build: Medium/Ectomorph
Height: 6'
Weight: 182lbs
BF: 15.8%

Wrist: 6.75" (included this to give an indication of natural frame size)
Neck: 16.5"........17
Chest: 41.5" normal, 43" expanded (I think!).....45-47 normal
Waist: 33.75"......30-32...depending on bone structure
Forearms: 12.5" normal/flexed (13" pumped)......13-13.5 cold
Biceps: 14.75" Left /15.25" Right flexed (15.25"/15.75" pumped)...16-17 cold
Thighs: 24.25"....25 cold
Calves: 15.25"/15.5"....16.5-17 cold

Am monitoring progress each month but have a rough plan by next Summer (July/August-time) to get chest up to 43", waist down to 33", forearms up to 13" flexed, biceps up to around 16" flexed and both calves up to 16". Also, want BF down to about 13% - less might be unrealistic given my drinking levels!
