arm size

[Renton405]

is it possible to increase arms without having to increase the bodyweight that much???

But it's the squat and deadlift that wins the meet.

True that, but recently my bench has just blasted up (hrm wonder why ) and I'm on target to hit 500lbs in a couple of weeks. So no worries there...

my arms have fluctuated from 17.5 to almost 20" the past year or two.... let's say I was happier with 20" arms, but not happy with my waistline at the time, lol

And admittedly.... 17" truly cut arms do look pretty big, anything above that is great

I had my arms up to 21 3/4.......at 247lb... 37 in weist u can c them in the pics section.....then i started to drop weight for the summer and at 227lb my arms were 20 1/2, weist 34 in and 19 1/2 cold and u can aslo c the pic of the transformation 6 months later....
its true for me also for every 10 pounds i gain an inch in my arm , i also super set my bis and tries
just wanted to drop my 2 cents

No I don't think so. Plus how weird would you look with 20inch arms and a 45 inch chest

i superset bis and tries also,this works good for me. arms should be measured cold and not after a pump.

Shirted. Met a 198er this weekend at a meet that could do ~500 raw, and he only hit 518 at the meet, he was using a crappy inzer HD shirt...

Unfortunately I missed my first attempt at 473 (brought the bar too low, the bar came out of line with my elbows, couldn't press it off my belly) so I retook 473 and crushed it, I could have jumped but it sucks missing a weight and taking a heavier weight as your next attempt. I'm going to try 500 in the gym in a couple of weeks just to prove to myself that I am capable of doing it.
