What size arms do u have, btw.

**CowPimp** · 06-10-2004, 03:16 PM

I've never measured before, but I thought I would just for this thread. My arms are pitiful: 15 1/4" left, 15" right. I'm 6 foot, 200 pounds, and 15% bodyfat. I have absolutely no peak, so that doesn't help.

I just started cutting too, so I will probably lose a tiny bit on each. Oh well, my arms have always been my weakest body part anyway. My chest and shoulders make up for it though. They are a testament to the fact that I can bench press 265 yet only deadlift 295 x 3 and full squat 245 x 2. As well, my "top 4 abs" are visible unflexed at 15% bodyfat, so that is a plus as well. You take what you can get.

At 5'5" and 218lbs, mine are 16.5". I did get up to 17" last year. I want to exceed that. I'd be really happy at 17.5-18". My neck is 17" and my calves are a tad over 16.5".

You were working out with him, so he had at that point, worked out - so its kind of a "you could take it one way or another" sentences.

5'5" and 218!! That is pretty darn big. What is your bf% at??

Subliminal · 06-10-2004, 07:22 PM

At 5'4, 130 lbs My biceps are only 13.5- 14 inches.

aztecwolf · 06-10-2004, 07:36 PM

too small to even want to measure at 5'11 160 lbs. I can run fast and for good distances though so does that count for anything?

You?

Sorry Twin your response got lost in the thread.
I'm doing fine, thanks for asking.

Actually just interviewed for a new job today.
It seemed to go well, just may land it.

I'm ashamed to say I'm probably about 18%. Goal is about 12%, which would be about 200lbs.

Randy · 06-11-2004, 02:34 PM

Minotaur,

Nobody should be ashamed!
That is why you are here for motivation, support, and knowledge to help you succeed in accomplishing your goals buddy

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I say ashamed, because when I post my stats I feel like I'm deceiving people... 5'5" and 218 lbs IS pretty diesel, but 15 lbs of it is excess fat.

Hey wait a minute! 15 lbs is not a lot!

Randy · 06-11-2004, 02:49 PM

Minotaur,

Yeah, I knew what you meant

.
I am in a similar boat myself. I have really come a long way with bodybuilding, but still
my hardest feat to accomplish is sticking to a diet. I have always been a meat and potatoes kind of guy who loves to eat eat eat

. Even saying that I haven't had a lot of problem in my life with body fat other than the belly. Mine seems to always go there. Everywhere else I seem to be fine. I have to seriously motivate myself to go on a cutting diet and add some serious cardio to my program so I can kill the gut. It sure makes a big difference to have nice abs and low body fat

.

Well I wish you luck with your goals and hope I can accomplish mine.

Hey Minotaur and Randy, we are all in that boat especially me. Everyone is here to help each other out and I don't think I would have ever gotten to where I am at now if it weren't for everyone here on the boards. Everyone here rox and when ever you need help they will do the same for you as they did for me I'm sure.

BTW just measured my arms and I'm now at 15 1/2inch in both, I evened both my arms out finally and now they are growing nicely. Since this thread was started I added 1.5 inches to my arms.

Randy · 06-12-2004, 03:15 PM

Great job on the arms Deadbolt.

Keep working hard, they'll get there.. Takes a few years.
I need to work on my legs and stomach the most.
My legs are so so, but compared to my upper body I think I have chicken legs

DeadBolt · 06-12-2004, 03:54 PM

I need more work on my chest..no matter what I do it doesn't want to grow. I've done it all but it doesn't seem to help. Every other muscle is coming along pretty good but my chest....and well I wont touch the stomach area lol I will never have abs. Gonna go on a perm. bulk cycle the rest of my life lol.

Yea I've read that before and currently follow them. I think geneticly my pecs are going to be smaller then the rest of my body b/c all the males who lifted in my family all had a small chest. I want to see through my next bulk cycle how much size I can put on and if nothing happens then I'm screwed heh.

Then you can grow some boobies
