most of times your legs are not showing....back sort of goes with bicep training....however....a lot of women do love big arms; there is no disputing that. It's biceps and triceps though combined.

I have no idea if that is good or bad. :(

It's dependent on your build and height. I'm only 5'5 but I have 14 or 15 inch arms, so they look a lot bigger. How tall are you?

<waiting for Amused to come in and mock me> :(

Why would I mock you? From what I can see there you're not obese and have fairly low body fat. That alone puts you in the top 10% these days. You're doing great. :thumbsup:

Only question is, why are you holding on to a Bic lighter? :confused: ;)


Amused is jacked or something? Pics or shens!

so are you some kind of gymnast or parqor participant?

Still Brad Pitt did well with the women according to only here. :confused: :) YMMV significantly...however I have found all women love the gun show.

I will be posting more pics in march...on my rebuild. I just curl 110lbs for 8-10 reps now.

Å

are you black...or did you just get out of a toaster? because your hair and palms lead me to believe your white, where as your skin color looks like you've lived on a beach 24x7 without sun screen.

Anyway nice Amused! I know Red has about 17 probably.

I didn't get this post at all. This is about your arm size. Who trains in biceps btw?

What's not to get? I never do any bicep exercises to make my arms larger (I do do triceps but that is for bench), and I am not cut so measurements would be inaccurate. Guess you do not know me here, I am a powerlifter so I could care less about measurements. :p

obviously arm size that is leaner is better and a lean arm of 15" is pretty impressive.

Nice arm Amused, I also notice your forearm is pretty big too.

I do weight training, but not as religiously anymore and i seem to be at a plateau. For the life of me I cant break out of it.

Thanks. My forearms are large because I never use straps. I always figured if I couldn't hold on to it, I had no business lifting it. :) I also do reverse (overhand) curls which really helps the forearm.

You know probably?:roll: I'd feel like a braggard talking about how big my arms are and I don't bother measuring them. If I ever stoop to posting a pic of myself flexing you'll know I've officially become a Wanker.

These numbers are meaningless without pics or an accompanying bodyfat measurement. An out of shape, incredibly fat person could have bigger arms than a thinner, fit person, but if 90% of that mass is fat, I don't think anyone is going to be impressed.
