didn't know the best section to post this in so I will just post it here. my wife thinks my neck is getting too big and says my arms are making me look even shorter.

i just measured my neck yesterday and it is up to 17in I am 5ft 1 my arms are getting close to 15inches i'm about 14-15% BF right now. Do those measurments seem off to you?
 
If you're happy with the measurements then it's fine. You wife may just be not happy with the way you look. Mine doesn't like it when I gain in size.

lol i want them bigger don't we all. my neck does seem to be out growing but it's good probablly because i take so many hits in practice i need a strong neck
 
Some people just are genetically gifted with large necks or ones that grow fast. It's usually one of the more slow areas to get to grow.
 
Bro she is probably just buggin' about you gaining size, as Jayhawk suggested.

My girl does it too. She will come up with bullcrockey reasons, but I know beneath it all she is just upset with the increase in size. It is just not appealing to some girls, and if I didn't love her so much I wouldn't put up with it.

On the other hand, I've been bulking lately and this cute little blonde in my french class never fails to ask me for updated measurements at least once a week lol.

Nice neck measurements :-)

Neck looks fine. Just that your traps are coming up and so you are measuring some muscle thickness as well. Also, you have shed a lot of fat recently and neck fat melts away slower (in my experience, at least). I have a big neck too, but I am 5'11" and 210 lbs. Mine's around 17.5". When I lift and right afterwards it goes berzerk, probably close to 19".

Bottom line: You look proportionate. Keep it up!

thanks for the critique i didn't think about fat around the neck melting slower than the rest of my body but that is a good point.
