like if u look up chest measurments.... pretty sure 99% of bodybuilders use their "unflexed" # for chest.

Probly because back has so much play with chest measurment, its much more accurate to have it relaxed.

you're probably right really, but i flex arm when taking measurement. leg, etc so why not chest i figured..but im not like flaring my lats real hard or it would go up more..just flexing chest and lats barely get flexed :p

44 " chest measured by a tailor unflexed today. 33 " waist 6'2 200 pounds 8.5 % bodyfat come at me bros

Tailor literally said i have the biggest chest to waist ratio he's ever seen.

Sounds like you guys are measuring it wrong, or holding a lot of fat (or unintentionally flexing when putting the tape around)
