Arms

Yo, I just measured my arms last night, they are 17''. I am 20 and about ~205, is this about average or what? For those of you that are around that weight, what size are your arms? I am probally about 6-8%

Hey man,

I am 21, and my arms are a little over 17 taken cold. My weight is about 208. I am 5'9. How tall are you? I think a lot of arm size depends on bodyweight. The heavier I get the bigger my arms usually are. Another factor is height. The taller a person is the more potential for a larger arm. People think it is easier for shorter guys to get big arms, but I don't think this is true. It just looks like a shorter guy has big arms b/c he is short and his arms are proportionate to his body. The taller guy has longer muscles and can put on more size. A longer bicep can roll up more when flexed to create a bigger arm. Now, this is no excuse for the shorter guy, it just means a guy that isnt as tall and must just get HUGE to keep up with the measurements.

hell yeah, I train hard as fuck and have been doing it right for about 2 years now, eating was the main thing, in HS i couldnt eat enough. I am 6' SimplyHuge, so we are about the same then, i was just trying to get a reference.

When you guys measure your arms, are you measuring them flexed??

Or when yall say cold are you guys measuring them just held relaxed but bent at the elbow??

Or does cold mean you don't have a pump at the time your measuring??

Sorry to intrude, I'm only a buck 80. LOL

SimplyHuge · 07-01-2006, 01:21 AM

When I say "cold", what I mean is without a pump. The arm is flexed, not relaxed.

Stryker, what are your arms at?

Also, what seems to work best for everyone for arm growth?

i think it has more to do with genetics and training really at one time I was 200-205lb when I was 18 with 18 1.2 inch arms and 16 inch forearms and 18 inch calves or some shit like that to long ago.

Mine are only 14 cold. But you'll get pics...

Size here is not THAT important. I know my arms look bigger than 75% of 17'' arms... the important thing is the peak... IMO

thats a matter of opinion for me mass is just as important, and I think that how can you find an average because everyone is different depends on a lot of factors
my arms are just under 16" cold
