Arms are pretty confusing to me. Most of time I try to hit 3 set of 8-10 reps for bi's and tri's - 11-30-2007, 11:39 AM

So giggly grandma arms don't count?
Unless you are going to pump yourself full of synthol a'la Greg Vantentino, you just gotta get bigger.
I think this about sums it up:
Big Arms, Big Physique
Q: Is it true you have to gain a bunch of muscular body weight overall in order to get big arms?
A: Typically, you have to gain 15 pounds of overall body weight to add an inch to your upper arm measurements. Now, if you want to go from 21 to 22-inch arms, which is enormous, it'll be more like a 25 pound gain.
Weider writers claimed that Arnold used to have a 22 inch arm COLD. Arthur Jones said they were full of ****. Arthur Jones was right: The Weider camp was full of ****. For Arnold to have a legitimate 22 inch arm, he would've had to weigh 308.
If you're going from a 14 inch arm to 16, then 30 pounds will do it. But going from 18 to 20 inches will require more like a 50 pound gain.“Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.” - 12-06-2007, 05:10 PM

yea i do agree. However I think there may be few exceptions where some genetically gifted (however i think "genetics" are overrated excuses for people not to work hard to achieve their goals). I think some people can have naturally disproportionate growth in the arms, but for the most part its all BS that if you go to the gym and do bicep curls 3x per week and nothing else that you can make 23 inch arms and a stick figure physique other wise.
i heard it was more like 10lbs per inch on the arms.....oh well. I want 20+inch arms so 40+lbs gain it is! - 12-06-2007, 08:29 PM
Yeah the 'genetics' excuse is a pretty poor one. My genetics gave me a large frame, which makes it tougher to 'fill out' vs. someone a foot shorter than me, but it certainly won't limit what I can do with time and persistence.
If curling 3x / week gave you 'big guns', there would be a lot of 165# dudes walking around with howitzers sticking out of their sleeves...
20"? damn.
I would be happy to get to 19" and change, shirts are hard enough to buy now.“Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.” - 12-06-2007, 08:33 PM

Mine are 18.5 cold, but I am about to cut so they will shrink a little. But a nicely defined upper arm is more attractive then a big ball of mass so I am looking forward to it.

I'm stuck at 16's. At my peak bulk they were 17s, but when I leaned back down they also went back down to 16s. Shlt.
