Well, I think they started around 14" probably... were up to 17" about a year ago. Then I took some time off to sit on my thumb and get skinny Now I'm working to reverse that and am back in it.

Are you measuring flexed? As a freshman in high school, I was 5'9" and had 15.25" arms about, I think I got to 15.75" at the end of the year.

6'2" 231 and 18.25" cold (flexed), best ever was 18.5" and I'm trying to break a rut right now so its time for some punishment!

I started out with 13 inch arms on the button and I'm at 16 inch arms right now in 3 years. Not too bad for not being 100% serious and not having a set diet.

I currently am taping at around 18 cold, but flexed. I have been able to keep my size while dropping 20 pounds and about 6-7% BF, which I am pleased with.

Forget measuring everything "cold", what is this all about?

Measure pumped!

I strive for every extra inch I can get.

For me "pumped" means triceps + 1/2" and biceps + 1/3" or so. So together nearly an inch in a reguarl workout if I did both together. If I did higher reps, then maybe more.

That's excellent. It's nice to see you don't lose much when dieting. Wish I could lose only .25" when I stop eating.

Your the best!
