16 1/4 inch forearms?
You do realize that that is a quarter of an inch lower than the WORLD RECORD (at a resonable body fat percentage)?

That couldn't be right. I did at sixteen years old. They may be close to sixteen now and no I'm not fat. If that's true then that nuts man. I think they could get much bigger than they are. I'll go measure them now. I don't want to mislead anyoneDuncans Donuts said:16 1/4 inch forearms?

Right now my forearms are just below sixteen inches (right at 15 7/8) and my upper arm is just above 18. 18 was actually my goal by spring. Better make that 18 1/2-19. Not sure where you got that number bro but it can't be right. I've just started training again and the cats in mags make me look like a twig in comparasion right now.
Your forearms/arms are bigger than my computer monitor. I find that hard to believe.bkc said:
I have pertty darn big forearms. They are just about 14 inches. Casey Viator and Ray Mentzer had some of the biggest forearms that bodybuilders have ever had - they stretched the tape to about 15 1/2. A Russian powerlifter had the record I believe, at just about 16 3/4 inches. A 15 1/2 inch forearm is a forearm bigger than most peoples upper arm.

It's plenty. Give it a try before you start doubting. Think about it logically. Why do the biceps deserve the same attention as muscle groups that are many times their size? They don't. Not to mention they got a lot of peripheral work anyway.

I find the size of your forearms very hard to believe, especially in reference to your upper arms. Those are top level bodybuilder status forearms. I'm not going to claim it's impossible, but is is highly unlikely. I would like to see a picture of that.

waiting.....
Just running with a concept that seems to be popular theory.
Should a muscle's size determine the amount of training it receives?
Won't you eventually grow out of proportion?
I agree that since bi's and tri's receive a lot of peripheral work their direct working sets can be cut down.

. But here it is til tomorrow!
yeah how do you measure forearms?
TCD said:
That's what I was thinking it was as well. I measure them fully flexed or as you put it with my biceps contracted. I'll post today when I have someone to take the pic. Like I said my arms are not record setters right now bt any means but they look good if I have to say so myself seeing that I'm just coming back. And yes they were 16 1/4 at 16 years old. I check my old measurements...
BTW you have a great back. That's something I take pride in myself. Not many out there it seems.
im assuming you measure flexed like biceps, in that case my forearms are 15 " even. Ive always had bigger forearms then all my friends, even my 260lb buddy whos been working out with me since the beginning, and hes got like 19 " biceps.
Good now we understand each other. We just measured differently. I didn't intend to boast so don't take what I've said in that light. I'm 242lbs. right now and I'd say 19's are 6 months away. Drug free...sabre81 said:

Ok, so now flex your forearm (not biceps) and get someone to wrap a tape measure around it then tell us what it reads. Should probably be in the 13-15" region.
And post an arm pic, because like i said, 18" will look shit-hot regardless.
bkc said:YES SIR!!! Like I said I'll post my pics around March. I want to look my best...My forearm is right over 14 1/4 that way. Will be 15 in no time. Again God willing...
That's still very impressive.
bkc said:Thanks bro. I appreciate it. Looks like you're on your way as well.
My physique is meh, but I have only been training about 18 months. Those pics are getting a little old at this point too.

Very interesting thread! No wonder my biceps suck and haven't gotten stronger in months and months. I'm overtraining them! I sometimes do 16 sets, just for my biceps. I think I'll cut my sets down to 10 from now on and see how I do.

that should do it 
well another quastion.......what about drop sets? Is it dangerouse to do dropsets on biceps? is it overtraining or what
