**Notes for self......... Right Bicep = ~13.25", Left Bicep = 13"

Want to see if the 21s do anything with size.....

And the link to my Fiday Journal: http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJournals.html?Owner=jenscats5

Are you right handed? Do you drive a stick shift?

I have a friend with a 'calf issue' ... blames the stick shift (on the car... )

Yes, I'm right-handed, but no stick shift..... should've measured before I started doing the 21s but I'm curious to see if they'll add any size on my biceps.....

You know what is bad LOL (but I've yet to try so I guess that is good at least )... everytime I have one of those black cherry Frescas I think how good it would be as a mixer with some "V" On that note... congrats on the THREE WEEKS strong!!!!

Hey Jen, I've been away from the site for a while, how's the recovery on that knee going?

It's going pretty well..... Hyperextension isn't consistent at all - I've been ranging between 0 & -2 degrees, but the bend has been pretty good.....It will be 3 months post-op on July 4th and once I reach 80% strength in my right leg as compared to my left, my Dr. said I can do whatever I want & PT said I'd be released to work on my own.....
