In the Uk we have a phrase, its “the proof is in the pudding”, which means, any one can talk the talk, but it’s the results that count. You can talk about cooking and how good you are but it’s the tasting that matters most!
Especially in PE, so I would ask you, measure and accurately measure and then you know if your clamping is working.
I really do believe that clamping is method that makes the most sense in thinking about girth. My “belief” is only based on reasoning and not on gains.. So it really should be called “faith” not belief.
I have struggled with measuring diameter. A string is OK, but you may pull to tight or too loose, you may measure to far up or two far down.
I stumbled on this idea. I found in the kitchen a pasta measurer. All it is a piece of metal with 4 holes cut in and you measure strand pasta so you cook the right amount for 1, 2, 3 or 4 persons.
Here is a simple way of accurately measuring diameter.
I suppose you could use washer or anything similar. And when it fills or touches you can accurately say your growing etc.
What do you think?
A modest goal, 7" X 6" then I am out of here.!
