Age 32 years. Weight 14 stone 6lbs. Height 5 feet 9¼ inches. Neck 18 inches. Chest 48 ” Chest expanded 62 ” Waist 30 ” Hips 42 ” Thigh 26 ” Knee 14 ” Calf 18 ” Ankle 8½ ” Upper arm 19½ ” Forearm 16½ ” Wrist 7½ ” My strength, it may be added, is steadily increasing. If some one had told me two years ago that I should be able to perform the feats of strength that I now accomplish I would not have believed it. I feel sure, moreover, that in the natural course of things, my strength will continue to increase. With careful training the bodily strength ought to increase steadily until the forty-fifth year is reached. The above appeared in the first edition. Pupils will be glad to hear that my belief has been fully justified, and that even since the book was first published, some eighteen months ago, there has been a very material increase in my strength.
