What size arms do u have, btw.

Rissole · 06-01-2002, 01:53 AM

So how long does it take to put size on your bi's (just on average say) If i have 16 1/4' how long will it take to get to 17 and then to 18

nikegurl · 06-01-2002, 01:53 AM

hey lady - ok, i'll join you!

5' 9" 136 lbs
12 1/2"

KnightPredator · 06-01-2002, 03:26 AM

Wow i feel so popular now, they like me they really like me, LOL.
Seriously this is all great to hear, i had been working on my chest, that is the weakest body part i have. Took some advice about pinching shoulders back and i can already feel the activation of the muscle instead of in my front delts. Arms for the most part are one of the easiest body parts to train, small muscle and therefore u can train it more often if u wish to. I am looking at my final goal in body weight to be at max, 280 lbs. Settle for a nice and fairly ripped 260 lbs. Power is unlimited, I go for as high as my body will let me. Hoping to soon get off of the 600 lbs squat. Being without a belt its not to bad. Natural or get out of my face is how i live. No offence to anyone for that comment btw.
Affording supplements would be a nice thing to have also, i cant use supplements cuz i can't afford to. Damn u need a real good job to live the life of a bodybuilder. PEACE

I'm a skinny bi*tch at 165lbs and 15" here .. The girls almost beat me ...

But at least my penis still looks impressive compared to the rest of my body ...

Isn't that what it's all about ?

My arms are 16.25 and I'm having a hard time getting them any bigger. I'm around 180 right now and have a lifetime (natural) goal of 18in.

TRD · 06-03-2002, 12:19 PM

**Mudge** · 06-06-2002, 02:11 AM

17 1/4" , plateau time

Chest 46.75"
Neck 16.5"
6'2" 213#s

Don't measure shoulder width, but thats a weak point for me sadly.

Ok, I just saw this thread http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...&threadid=7577 (I found this interesting)

How in the heck are people measuring thier arms? I don't consider my arms that big, so I never would have assumed Arnold to be a paltry 19" (not that he looked as big in 1980).

GoPro or someone, how are we to measure our arms?

LAM · 06-06-2002, 02:48 AM

gopro...how big do you think my arms look in this picture ? I was 235 here at 12% at 6'0.

Hard to tell from that shot, but I'd estimate 18-18.5 " unpumped.

**Mudge** · 06-06-2002, 09:33 AM

Folks, how are you measuring your arms? I always thought the standard procedure was cold, but flexed.

If I let my arm hang freely by my side (not squished by ribs), cold, no flexing I come up a paltry 14 3/4"

LAM · 06-06-2002, 11:38 AM

in that pic they are 19" cold. benching heavy PL style kicks ass for the triceps.

**Mudge** · 06-06-2002, 11:49 AM

PL style? Close grip or ?

LAM · 06-06-2002, 03:15 PM

when benching PL style the hand spacing is usually shoulder width or less, but not even close to that used for close grip. the elbows are kept as tight to the torso as possible. the bar is brought down to the mid or lower region of the pecs and pressed vertically with no arch towards the head.

LAM · 06-06-2002, 03:20 PM

it is strictly for power not for hypertrophy...

I can see how this would be killer for tricepts as well as for power.

TriZZle305 · 06-06-2002, 03:27 PM

are your elbows supposed to point in forward(the same way your nose is pointing) or outward to both sides..?

LAM · 06-06-2002, 03:31 PM

elbows point in and forward...

someone please answer this question cuz i was meaning to ask this myself.. i measure my arm hanging straight and free and unflexed and my arms 15.5".. flexed and cold it's 17"

BUT WHAT'S THE PROPER WAY TO MEASURE? i need to know for my logs

Rocco32 · 11-02-2003, 07:55 AM

My bi's are 16 1/4.
I can only curl 105 for about 3 because of tendonitis.
My neck is 16 (pencil neck) and my calves are 14 3/4. I can't grow them to save my life!!

derekisdman · 11-02-2003, 10:34 AM

I hate my arms

My weak point at only 14 1/4

. Though I have 15 1/2 calves

DeadBolt · 11-02-2003, 12:12 PM

Wow I think I have the smallest arms around here. I a 5'9" 160lbs and both my arms are at 14" cold. You guys said your arms are suppose to be about the same as your neck and calves. My neck is 16" and my calves are 16.5". Well my goal for now is to get to about 18" but that looks like its gonna take a LONG time heh.
