Arm size

[Grove]

How big are your arms? No adding inches !!! I'm at 18.5 pumped natty

[Bullseye Forever]

mine arent big enough

[Grove]

They are never big enough

[Bullseye Forever]

They are never big enough

lol you are right brother

[heavyiron]

over 19" lean

my arms suck. When I started training I was reading all over the place that all you needed were the big, compound moves and that isolating bodyparts were useless. The result? Decent torso, tiny arms.

Oh well, live and learn. It's a little frustrating that I'll forever be playing catch up with them though

[BBE]

genetics bro, genetics.

[ErectusMaximus]

Lean 17". I think a lot of things are genetic, even with substaces involved. My buds at the gym bench more than I do but I squat more than any of them, its just how you were made I guess.

[hard2gain]

This might be a dumbass question but do you measure them pumped after an arm workout or first thing in the morning when all the blood is still in your morning wood? lol

Also is it strange that my left arm is quite a bit larger than my right? I'm talking close to an inch difference.

[Jacked27]

18.25 cold, 18.75 pumped.
6'3" 228-230

[Shovel]

Pushin 19" and lean enough.

I met Gregg Valentino (the man who's arms exploded ) 2 years ago at a amusement park and wow his arms are stil crazy big Has anyone tried synthol? I don't think I could use it but it's tempting to try

[Grove]

Not that Gregg used synthol. Lol he was very nice when I talked to him. Got a pic taken with him and my daughter and he actually ran out to his car to get me some MD back issues and it must have been 90 degrees that day so I'm not bad mouthing him by any means

[hard2gain]

Not that Gregg used synthol. Lol

HAHA yea right. I've actually been tempted to try it on my tiny calves. Not like anything else is working.

[rds63799]

genetics bro, genetics.

no doubt, I just try not to cry about my genetics. No point really

[TheMilkMan]

Big enough to look good. Small enough to fit in my bench shirt with no alterations.

[catazura66]

I'll go with genetics everytime! However, we can push our potential genetics to their limits if we train, eat and sleep correctly. I have 17.8' arms (natural and unpumped). Hope when I start my first cycle in 16yrs they will start to grow?...lol

[DaHurt]

Fuck arm size alone! What is the ratio of your arms:calves? That's my struggle...the arms will just grow and grow, but the calves are stubborn, so I basically have to work calves twice as hard. However, currently they're the exact same size

...which for me is only 16.5 cold

17.25 inches = weakest body part for me and always has been.

My calves are 19" inches.

I'm 5'4" 181 pounds and 7.1% body fat.

[DaHurt]

Cashout I'm definitely envious of your calf development my man! Have they always been larger than your arms? ...that tends to be pretty rare in BBers.

Annnd maybe share the routine that got them where they are today?

No. They were really nothing special when I started training 27 years ago.

I just found what worked for me pretty early on in regard to calves.

I had a plate-load standing calf raise and I would put 4 45 lbs plates on either side and rep it out as many times as I could - 8 - 10 times max. Then I drop a plate off each side and keep going. I did that again and again until I got down to 1 45 lbs on either side.

So it was a giant strip set. I did 4 sets like that on standing and 4 sets like that on seated calf raises on Monday and Thursday mornings. After 27 years you see the results.

Bro, belive me...that's pretty f*cking special...Genetics..Amen!..lol

[Grove]

My calves are 16 in w 18.5 arms but I've only been training calves for 2 years and arms for 15 years lol calves were 14 in when I started on them so 2 in in 2 years ain't to bad

[Grove]

How old are you cashout? Training 27 years is awesome!! I'm 42 and still love training as much as I did at 27 maybe more

[hard2gain]

My arms are 18.5 unpumped and this is really sad but the calves are 14. I have done every kind of calf workout I can come up with and they won't budge. Even tried DES in them. My genetics cursed me with ungrowable bird legs. My thighs are 26 inches though. The waist line is about 31. Haven't done the chest but it's my biggest bodypart in relation. It almost gets out of hand at times and I back off the chest workouts.

Anybody have any ideas what I could do about the calves? implants are out of the question! Always thought guys that used synthol were dbags but thats about what I've come to...
