Beginning of a new week and off to a good start. Seemed like an intense weight workout today. Had the "pumped" feeling, but also felt exhausted. Not sure if I'm breathing correctly or if I'm not taking a long enough break in between sets. Comtemplated skipping swim, but went for it.... had a GREAT swim workout!

Questions:
1) How frequently should one take measurements?
2) What are standard measurements? Biceps,Quads,Chest,Calfes? Anything else?
3) Wondering about the placement of my workouts. Should I try to get an early morning workout first thing and a mid-day workout? Or is mid day and evening workout OK?
4) Is there any harm in adding additional weight exercises based upon the strength training's daily focus? (i.e. today's focus was Legs, Back, with a little emphasis on Biceps and Abs. Any harm in adding additional Leg or Back exercises)?
