Tracking your progress is a great way to stay on top of your fitness goals. Whether you are trying to lose weight or gain muscle, monthly measurements can be the extra push you need to stay focused and keep training hard!
However, when it comes to your measurements you need to be as accurate as possible!
Accomplishing goals is what keeps us going and inaccurate measurements can leave you feeling discouraged.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you take your measurements.
1. Always take measurements under the same conditions: Flexed or Unflexed.
2. When taking measurements, make sure the tape is “snug”. Not too tight or too loose.
Measurement Locations
Forearm: Measure around the thickest part of the forearm.
Arm: Perform a bicep flex and measure the thickest part of your arm.
Neck: Simply measure around the neck.
Shoulder: Wrap the measuring tape around both shoulders.
Chest: Lift your arms up and wrap the measuring tape around your back and chest. Lower arms and take the measurement just above your nipple line.
Waist: Wrap the tape around your torso at the belly button. Do not suck in your gut!
Hip: Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your glutes / hips.
Thigh: Wrap the measuring tape around the thickest part of your thigh.
Calf: Wrap the measuring tape around the thickest part of the calf.

This guy is all upper arms. Helpful video though, thanks.
I dont workout but my arms are only 14 inches but my shoulders are 52 at 5ft11 so im actually wider than this dude.
My bf percentage is 17% atm
Im gonna start hitting the gym soon but i just have no motivation.
Just a suggestion from one trainer to another: When measuring the hips, I always stand/kneel to the side of the hips to avoid being directly in front of their genitals which also mitigates the unwanted and embarrassing touching of them.
Maybe he likes to do it in the front.
As a professional Trainer you can get sued by doing this style of measurement on females. Measuring from side is safer .
@@sambumanglag6432 speaking from experience? haha
I have never, nor have I seen PT measure hips that way. Creeped me out.
True I like to touch them after measuring the hip 🤣
GOOD ONE SCOTTIE!! i knew you would make this video sooner or later an the part that helped me the most was the chest measurement as i never knew how to do that one.
Of course man! it was a long time coming! Glad you were able to utilize the information!
Very helpful. Thank you for displaying the proper way to measure. I just started a new training routine and wanted to see how it will affect my body. This video is just what I needed.👍
Do you know why he overlaps it rather than where it meets up I'm confused lol
@@JustJared96 It's easier to see the measure when he overlaps. More accurate
this is quite homoerotic.
And i loved it ;)
Everything about bodybuilding is homoerotic
You know when you think the guys forearms are a decent and sizable then find out you've got the same measurements. hits different
This comment is underrated
Yes mine too
Wow is like he is reading my mind. I was looking for something like this! Thanks again Scott
happy to help Oscar!
What's the height and weight for Scott? By the way, great video!
I fucking love you bro, this video came in clutch!
that guy is 6 3 to 6 4. he looks like a soldier. Doesnt look massive but fit enough to hump a 90 lb ruck make his 70 pushups and 18 pull ups.
at 5 7 i have these exact measurements but looks more fit.
Darryl Weaver he has bigger shoulder to waist ratio maybe
Hump?... why would you be humping it
I'm 5'10 @180lbs
Neck -17 inches
Chest-idk never measured
Shoulders :- 55inches
Arms :- 15.5inches
Forearms :-13.2inches
Leg:-25 inches
Calves :-15 inches
I have been training for approx 1 year but not with consistency due to my college studies ....but this year I'm hoping to gain some serious gains
500k subscribers congrats bro!
Thanks man!!!! YEAH!
22 in thighs!!! Someone skips leg day😂😂
Stfu fat fck
looks like Scott missed Leg day. Thanks for the vid btw
His legs are fine. 16 inch calves in particular are above average.
Tristan Ferguson his calf’s are that size because it’s naturally that way but he clearly skips leg day theres no excuse for those 22 in thighs.
@@joshuajurado6235 I think he probably just doesn't have much fat in his thighs, you can see he does have visible muscle there. I have a similar build to him, 22.25" thighs and you can't even pinch enough there to get a reading with calipers.
My arms were 19.5 and around my shoulders were 62. I feel good about myself now
Never skip legday! :D
Which one you think is small, hips or thigh?
@@williamreddy5534 true, Im 15 and pretty skinny and got 22 inch thighs, almost big as his
Forearm should be measured with STRAIGHT arm, fist tight and twisted back, but the elbow MUST be straight!

Did he just pump up beforehand because it makes a significant difference....
Hi Scott, great video, would it not be worth measuring 7 inches from the knee upwards for the left and right thigh? Just because when measuring clients every 4 weeks their body can change and it helps to keep their results this way more accurate. Hope that makes sense.
Everyone is different height
Scott can you upload the flex and normal measurement. nice video!

125lbs 5'10" any tips on how to gain weight i go to the gym 5 times a week
LEZ 2K 2NIGHT stop going to the gym so much. Do 3 full body workouts a week lift heavy and put liquid coconut oil in everything you drink.
I used to be very thin like you. The secret is a lot of FOOD. Steroids can help tons of course but even then it wont work well or at ALL without a good diet. You really need to get your protein intake high and shoot for about 600 calories above what your eating now. After 6 weeks if your not gaining weight or as much as you like then increase your calories a further 400. And repeat this until you get the calories you need. I recommend you train just 3 days or 4 maximum until you really fill out.
Ideally you should be eating at LEAST 4 Solid meals a day and as much as 7 to get big........hope this helps
start calistenics routine , when your bicep wll be 12 inch then go to the gym , good luck
Buy a book called Bigger, Leaner, Stronger. It explains exactly what you have to do, from what to eat to how to train appropriately
hey dont beat yourself too much, focus on getting stronger, but do it right with good form! Up those calories!! If you are not getting stronger, you are not getting bigger. Shoot for a 3 plate bent over barbell row, shoot for a 445lbs Deadlift, and 315lbs Squat!
Step 1 : Don't be an introvert and have some friends.
Step 1 failed 😢
But i have my mom to measure it😊

I know you are probably bigger by now. I am interested to see how much you’ve gained over the year. Keep up the hard work!
Tbh, It doesn't matter what genetics you have it all comes down to hard work. Btw this is coming from someone who has "good genetics"
While hard work matters genetics defiantly plays a huge role
@@kira-xh5ue yes that is true but that doesn't mean you can't get a good physique
@@accountalt856 yes it’s really not that hard considering 99% of the general population doesn’t even lift social media has really screwed up the standards where we see all these genetic phenoms on juice
So did you give him a facial after the video ?
You said to measure consistently either flexed or unflexed. But you didn't say anything about pumped or unpumped.
I still don't get it lmao he overlaps with the tape can anyone explain please why he doesn't just make it meet up?
Very informative indeed...I have never really measured my gains...this has most certainly given me the push to do so! Thanks for the upload Scott, and once again, a great job in motivating and guiding us in the right direction. Now, where's that darned measure tape...
Thanks Vishtasp, once you upload them to your SHF profile let me know and I will check them out!
Will most certainly do so Scott. I have actually messed up my old profile at SHF and don't remember any login details but will open a new profile soon and try to be more active from now on. Thanks for the constant support though, much appreciated!

Skipping leg day Scott?
This guy is an example of 16-20% BF. Probably very strong but not very aesthetic...
he's like 14-16
My body stats are pretty similar to his. What his height? weight? age?
my arms are an inch smaller but my thighs are an inch bigger than his lol.
Shouldn't he squeeze leg and calf muscles while majoring?
Since Scott was 5'10 that guy probably 6'2
What is your height without footwear?
You guys look bigger and more aesthetic than me but yet my measurements are pretty close lol I'm gonna get there eventually.
Exactly the same here haha. My measurements are almost exactly the same as this guy, yet I look nowhere near as big. It's odd.
how to measure yourself? It seems pretty difficult to do some measurements by yourself accurately.
I like to put a piece of tape on the tip of the tape measure and stick it on the muscle, making it easier to wrap around
🤔 I DON'T THINK YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO TALK... SCOTT WAS IT?
Bro would tell him its heights?
Shoulders : 49
Neck: 15
Arms: 15 1/4
Hips: 42
Calves: 17
Thighs: 23 3/4
Waist: 36 3/4
Height: 5'7 3/4
Weight: 190 - 195
Forearms are pretty easy to do tho
my biceps are pretty much exactly the same measurements but i can see my left is slightly lacking in the inner bicep. any exercises you'd recommend that are the best for targeting the inner bicep using dumbbells?
Hammer curls
I have 14 Inch biceps, 43 inch chest, 32 waist, 22 thighs and I look skinny AF... But he looks good, why is that?
Because you are skinny?...
Height, muscle distribution, fat distribution, width of the Bones etc
That's 34inch because of muscle mass, which represents strong core right? I think there's nothing to be ashamed of a little bigger waist.
Yes for sure. The vast majority (in the US and UK anyway) would not consider him in any way fat.
so what fo you do if youre trying to cut body fat while building muscle? how would you properly track the mass? would i just have to wait till im at a bidy fat% i like, and then start tracking mass?
im just nervous im loosing muscle rather than fat, so far ive lost 7 pounds after hard dieting and still getting 1.5g/lb of body weight, and im still lifting properly.
i just eant to make sure my diet is right so that way in two months or so im lean and cut rather skinny with a runners body lol
ahahahah lets measure his hips…… awkward moment….hahaha but yeah nice video ;)
For a big guy 34" is pretty good (to me, a non-lifter). Granted, low body fat makes muscles way more prominent, and waist size is a half decent method to get a rough gauge of body fat. But looks are the best imo :)
Joe Smith well i dnt lift not that active n im 10% bf 6ft 15 inch arms n 45 inch chest so no its not
tiny chest
How am I supposed to measure my shoulders and biceps myself
There’s a bunch of conflicting advice out here. Some sources say measure a flexed bicep, others say don’t measure it flexed.
Somehow this video was a major turn on.
Scott I have an out of topic question. How did you learn to hand stand on the wall?
Just takes practice. Start by doing them with your feet on a bench and try to lift them higher and higher until you can go against the wall
Thanks for this video i'm on a we ightloss journey looking to buy new clothes when I hit my goal weight.
Is 19.5 inch shoulders good? 5ft8 lifting for 6 years.
How old are you?
Morning i measured lower than afternoon which time is best Scott ?
Ummm 😐 you let the MT fall down when you measures his chest like wtf you said just below armpits then you let it go for a second and it fell way lower so idk what to do should I also do that ?
I"m so much bigger than scott yet i doin't look it cause I'm 6 foot 3
My legs were 22 inches the first time I stepped into the gym 😐
mine were 19 😳
what are they now?
@@lateef7212 26-27 depending on my bodyfat.
This is at the thickest part of the upp thigh.
With the measurements can you calculate your body fat percentage?
No, body fat percentage needs a caliper, which requires measuring the folds of adipose tissue.

Right on stevo

ive been using creatine and it has bloated me a bit when i cycled off my skin on my abdominals and shoulder area is a bit loose must of over used the creatine, so its difficult to measure my body fat. I will buy the calipers on ebay huehuehueue
You should get a dexa scan for a more accurate bodyfat percentage to compare it to the caliper measurement(it also does bone density and a few other measurements). If you have a PPO you probably can get it just paying the copay otherwise it might cost $60-$100.

When should you do this before or after working out? Or in the morning when you wake up or before you sleep or does it matter as long as you do the same time next time?
You should do this only before working out. This is due to the fact that your muscles never pump up the same amount after each workout, since each workout has a different intensity for instance. That would lead to fluctuating measurements and mislead you from your true progress. You should also try and measure around the same time of the day, such as right after you wake up, before you've performed any physical activity nor had any breakfast, which both also affect your measurements. All in all, it is best to measure under circumstances with the least possible different factors that may deviate your measurements from the true results.

Dude you are so bad at taking measurements 😭
nice vid. i just weighed myself yesterday and in the past month have gained about 1.5 to 2 pounds of muscle.
awesome man!!!! keep up the great work!!
Scott needs to do some flys or something
Awesome video. Glad I took the time to measure myself today, I gained half an inch on my biceps which is good!!! Half-an inch gain on my chest. I only got this guy beat in one thing, and that's the thighs. Mine are 24 inches, of course I'm a long distance runner. I got above average thigh size. 3 Marathons complete, 1 Official Marathon Race complete. 4 Half Marathons complete. 2 of those were up in the mountains. 3 5ks complete. 1,278 miles ran last year. Max bench press is 175lbs, only 2 reps. Not bad at all.
1:58 So funny, why is no one talking about it? 😂 I'd have said, 'yeah, enough to strangle you :P
I am a beginner to weightlifting - or exercising in general. I'm only 14 and have been working out on a boflex (only thing I have availible to workout on) for about a month now working out 3 to 4 days a week. I also run 2 miles twice a week.
I am incredibly skinny and I wish to become bigger so I'm coming to youtube to ask for advice.
I'm only 127 pounds, 5'7
I eat lots of food to try and gain weight but it seems as if my stomach is a blackhole, I can eat a cake and lose calories doing it. (That's sadly only a slight exaggeration - I know my metabolism will slow down once I'm done maturing but I can't take looking like the way I do for much longer.)
Measurements:

Calf - 14.5

I have pectus excavatum which leads me to be very subconscious about my body and I'm hoping that if I got more muscle my deformity will be less obvious. Another problem I've noticed is my arms are incredibly small in width then large in length making it appear as if I'm a stick from certain angles. Is there a fix to something like this?
Thanks you for taking the time to read this.
Eat. More. Food. Only way to help u. Eat your weight in grams of protein so if you wanna be 160lbs eat 160grams of protein. Start eating 3000 calories this week then gradually go up by 250 to 500 more every week. Do a push pull leg split or any 3 day or a full body split as soon as your able to go to a gym. If not invest In light dumbells 20 to 30lbs to do all sorts of exercises. Ex lunges, shoulder raises, curls, triceps extensions, flies if u have some kind of bench. Find a pull up bar u can use or hang off of. There is tons of ways to workout at home just make sure your ALWAYS IN RECOVERY for every muscle. What I mean by that is try and workout with enough intensity to make each muscle sore for a few days until u hit it again. Everyone is different so the intensity will be different but I use drop sets so when I hit my push day or whatever I don't spend 3hrs in the gym. Most important thing is consistency. Don't miss meals u cannot afford to if I don't eat for even 4 hours I'll start to become catabolic which means I am staving and losing weight. Don't over train either a way to see if u are is by squeezing your fist and if u feel u could be squeezing harder but can't u need a rest day your central nervous system needs to recover. Very important. And keep your protein up high everyday it is the building blocks to making gains. Get 8hrs sleep everyday and do this for years.
I also have pectus excavatum.
NEVER take steroids. I'm a doctor. Stay natural throughout your entire life. They screw you up. Just get decently big over several years and leave it there. There's more to life than muscles and girls don't care as much as you think.
You didn't measure the waist, you measured the high hip. You know that v shape leading to the crotch? That shape is made by the hips bones, which etned all the way down to the crotch.
The waist is ABOVE the belly button, i.e. ABOVE the hip bones.
Why is Scott yelling at the end of the video??
We're not deaf, mate! Poor Scotty's ears must be ringing! 😱
Neck = arms = calves. Scott is all 16”. That’s perfect 👍
Great advise dude. Unlike Mike Chang, Scott doesn't pop-up all over RUclips!!! He is more honest and not a sales man! Respect Scott Herman!
Thanks Justin. We all need to make a living.. but I am not here to scam you guys. I am here to help!
I agree personally people like you I would pay as you can see you are more genuine. If I had to pay for trainer, Mr Herman I would choose you sir. I was in the gym and so many people talk about fitness videos on RUclips, we all agreed that Mike is a marketing moneyman, lol. However, we all agreed that we all started by watching your videos Scott. You have motivated so many people it is unreal, thank you sir! In Scott we trust :)
