i looked it up the other day and i think the guidance is halfway between your hips and the bottom of your rib cage, which is usually at or right above the belly button.

but dang it can be annoying finding real information in the sea of seo crap

i feel like i could game that measurement by several inches, depending on where you'd measure it.

protip: if you wear a 36 in american pants [or maybe even a 34 nowadays] you probably have at least a 40 in waist, vanity sizing is a gently caress

protip: if you get your actual measurements taken by a tailor and have clothes made for you they fit real well. made to measure isnt even that expensive. well, idk maybe its really expensive in the bay area or something

i bought a couple pairs of made to measure jeans for like $50 a pair. they fit better than any other jeans ive ever had and the quality is totally fine

and i got a made to measure jacket that was about $200 and it fits perfectly and looks great. highly recommended for the computer touching crowd

if you need to fit into some pants I recommend you halve you calories and then halve them again

that doesn't exist in the united states. you can order made-to-fit stuff online but it's more expensive and the quality can, from what i gather, be a real crapshoot

according to what? this seems made up ngl

This is the british heart foundation quote:

quote:

For men, a waist circumference below 94cm (37in) is ‘low risk’, 94–102cm (37-40in) is ‘high risk’ and more than 102cm (40in) is ‘very high’. For women, below 80cm (31.5in) is low risk, 80–88cm (31.5-34.6in) is high risk and more than 88cm (34.6in) is very high. These are the guidelines for people of white European, black African, Middle Eastern and mixed origin.

For men of African Caribbean, South Asian, Chinese and Japanese origin, a waist circumference below 90cm (35.4in) is low risk, and more than that is ‘very high risk’ (there isn’t a ‘high risk’ category). For women from these groups, below 80cm (31.5in) is low risk, and anything above is very high risk.

it is pretty surprising that this isn't in relation to any other measurement.

e.g. my chest is 42" without carrying perceptible fat, and while my waist could for sure stand to lose some inches it seems like there is an overall upper body dimension at play

e: though thinking about what they are saying it is probably true, not in that it is necessarily instructions that everyone should reach a certain waist measurement, rather i do accept that my rather build is in general not ideal for cardiac health (all the more reason to get to the waist inches i for sure can take off)

It's okay if you have any questions.


When it comes to health stuff there's a tradeoff between predictive accuracy and simplicity, and for communicating with the general public, you really want to emphasize the simplicity.

The reason that waist measurement is useful in particular outside of its relation to other body measurements is that your waist measurement is the one that will give some indication of your visceral adipose tissue. It's very hard to measure that particular type of fat beyond getting waist measurements, because it is the fat around the organs. It is also the most damaging fat to have in excessive amounts in your body, because excessive fat around ones organs is significantly more likely to result in that person developing serious metabolic disorders.

Deadlifts are up to 375 lbs. My overhead press is stuck at 140 but I'm sure I'll get that up soon. I can do 4 good pull ups in a set, trying to get up to 5.

My weight has ballooned to 205 lbs lol. not sure if I should diet or keep eating and lifting.

keep eating and lifting, youll balance out eventually

this is suboptimal advice but i think changing too much at once is always a bad idea, so only change your diet if you feel it is not providing what you need to bulking/maintenance/cutting (depending on your fitness/body image goals etc)

my pov?: i'm old and not on the market so i am more in maintenance mode where small gains are fine. i aint trying to win lifting/building comps or be more generally attractive than i already am :biglips:

yeah it balances out over time assuming you're eating decently healthy

youll eventually trim fat and kinda settle at a higher weight thats more muscle, and look good naked, and then you can figure out what you wanna do from there

i think pushing the lifts are better long term.

pre-covid, my set max for deads was 425 and i feel like a lot of not falling apart physically over the past 4 years was having that base. ive cut back on drinking this year (mainly cause under lockdown what else was i gonna do) and am at a respectable 215 but i (and others, not just my partner) think i look great so

these are not meant to be brags, just like youll get there the way youre going because thats how i got there

great work and keep at it!

yes, i assume you're consistenttly doing any of the multitude of weightlifting programs out there, whichever one you like the most

(its all basically deads squats benchs and then other stuff like intervals and pacing or specific other lifts for muscle groups, programs differ based on fitness goals)
