What size arms do u have, btw.

[DeadBolt]

Yea I haven't been working out for to long but ever since I have my goal was always like an 18" arm so thats what makes me pump harder and harder every day in the gym.

Is it normal for my tri's to be the majority of my arm? My bi's aren't as big as my tri's. And I work harder then hell on my bi's but my tri's are still overpowering them.

 

[Mudge]

Of course, triceps are involved in pushing, 3 heads instead of 2, there is every reason in the world for triceps to be 2/3 or so of your arms mass.

 

[DeadBolt]

Ok kewl thanks man. Well I am still shootin for that 18" mark no matter how long it takes me.

 

[Mudge]

How tall are you?

 

[vanity]

It's a good thing this thread isn't about penis size.

Arm size without other stats like: height, weight and BF levels is pointless.

Alot of guys have big arms when you measure them but most of it is fat. As we all know , fat takes up more space than muscle. The classic Hell's Angel look.

If you want BIG arms .... train your bloody triceps real hard. That's where most of the size comes from.

have fun.

I am 5'9" 160lbs. I am still in the process of getting bigger and in the past month I have put about 6lbs on. I want like another 10-15 by january.

 

[Mudge]

18" arms lean looks damn good on a 5'9" frame.

 

[DeadBolt]

Thats what I'm hopin heh. My cousin is about 5'4"-5'5" and has like 18-20 arm and is 168lbs. He has 7% bf and he looks awsome. My goal was to look like him but hes been at it for a long time, so I am setting my own goals. But its one hell of a boost when I work out with him like 2 days a week b/c it makes me work twice as hard.

 

[Mudge]

18 or 20 inches? Thats alot of variance believe me It would be pretty doubtfull for a guy that short to have 20" arms though, especially at that weight, your talking Lee Priest now.

I dont think Dennis Newman ever broke 20.5" as a personal best, and he was taller, and looked pretty good.

 

[DeadBolt]

His arms are like double my size. When we put our arms next to each other it looks just about doubled. Not many people believe me when I say how big he is but this guy is massive. And if I have 14" arms then he has well over 4" on mine if not more. I need to get some pics of him for you guys.

 

[Mudge]

Please do, I have a hard time believing he is bigger than Lee Priest I think you are suffering from the illusion, which many people do. I believe Momo Benaziza competed at 185, and was shorter, and of course less bodyfat.

If he is that short, I have to assume he has been juicing for a good number of years.

 

[DeadBolt]

No he doesn't juice. He is so anti. But now it is really bothering me how big his arms really are. Next time this coming week i see him I'll take a pic with my phone so you guys can see it. I hope I am rite b/c by comparing his arms to mine they are HUGE but hey maybe it just looks that way.

 

[Mudge]

Lee Priest is all natural too, just thought I'd let everyone know. Why dont you just ask him how big he is? A 2" difference is ALOT.

Do you remember how to calculate circumference? What I did years ago was plot out on paper, from 16" all the way to 22" arms to compare them, it is NOT linear, each additional inch is going to be a good deal more mass than one might think, when they dont really think about it. That is why a 22" arm or even a 20" arm, makes a 16" arm look like a toothpick, I look like a stick boy with 16" arms.

 

[DeadBolt]

I can't get in touch with him he doesn't have a phone # rite now or else I would have. He is getting some new service or some crap. All I get is the damn operator heh. I have been trying ever since I posted. I'm debating ordering a pizza so he can come deliver it to me heh.

 

[Larva]

15" 156lbs 5'8 not much def but thick

 

[Mudge]

I've been eating pizza for the past 3 days

 

[DeadBolt]

Must be nice man, I haven't eaten pizza in over 2 years. I am craving it SOOOOO bad but have to hold off. I have been really doing good for the past like 8 months and this weekend I cheated a little but not much. I'm trying to stay away from all the crap so come holiday I can cheat here and there. Mon-Friday I eat the same crap every day at the same time heh it discusts people but I have gotten use to it. Now I want pizza soooooo bad your killin me mudge.

 

[Mudge]

I have it pretty much once a week...

 

[prophet]

so read an article and it said to measure upper arms, it's cold and flexed.. measure at the peak.. so in that case my arm is 17".. i'm 18yrs old, 220lbs (~16% bf), and 6' tall

*sigh* thank God cuz i was seeing these big time stats (18, 19, 20" and mine didn't match up (when i measured my arm straight and unflexed).. made me depressed as to how far i needed to keep going

 

[Mudge]

I just hit 220 again today from a low of 210 about 6 weeks ago.

 

[Twin Peak]

Left = 17.5
Right = 16.5

Cold, but flexed, as always.

No. I am rehabing a torn right rotator cuff. Before injury/surgery, both were around 18 1/4.

 

[Rocco32]

Impressive man. Did you just start back to the gym recently?

 

[Twin Peak]

Well, I have been going since 2 weeks post-op. But I started only doing light legs, and left arm stuff. I slowly moved to heavy legs and heavy left arm, and light right arm stuff.

I am building back strength in the right arm but am very limited in what wexercises I can do, and am just now starting back exercises.

[Rocco32]

Good luck rebuilding. I know it's not easy, you must have a ton of patience to keep from jumping full in and hurting yourself and alot of motivation to continue working out when I'm sure it's not the optimal training you want to do or are used to.
