(Vou) checar/verificar


Explanation:
I will check the size and shape of my muscles...
Vou checar/verificar o tamanho e o formato dos meus músculos...

Outros exemplos:

If you will check page 18...
Se verificar a página 18...

Still they will check to make sure that nothing...
Contudo, verificarão para se certificar de que não se ...

A good pilot will check his position every 15 or 20 minutes...
Um bom piloto verificará sua posição a cada 15 ou 20 minutos...

Most people may at times have similar thoughts, but the person with OCD will check and recheck and still not be satisfied.
A maioria das pessoas vez por outra tem dúvidas assim, mas o portador de DOC vai checar e rechecar, e, mesmo assim, não fica satisfeito.
