like body weight, the actual numbers of your measurements are meaningless. a 17" or even a 20" arm looks like shit without decent shape and definition.
I honestly hope this was directed towards me because I do have shape and definition in my photos on page 3. I’m not 6% bodyfat or some crazy shit but my peak is there tricep seperation is shown a bit and they look decent in my opinion.
Wait til I’m in my 20’s though rockin’ 22+ inch arms, I can’t wait to compare it to these photos.
not directly pointed towards you but i have to be honest in that i guess i just don’t see what you see. it’s not a jab mind you but merely an objective opinion. apparently your idea of shape and definition isn’t the same as mine.
He’s a kid! Did you really expect to see what you might find on a 30 year old who has been lifting for 5 years or more?
He is way ahead of the game at his age.
What, you think he should diet now?
I can see why there are so few people who actually have big arms lately. The moment you can’t see definition in clear detail, they get jumped by a bunch of people acting like you get big and contest ready all at the same time.[/quote]
I agree with this whole heartedly.
this “kid” is doing good,ya maybe his arm is “fat” they are not near as fat as some.
Mine for example,are"fat and shapeless" my concern was to make my arms and legs bigger while keeping the same body weight even though I was obese,I chose that over dieting down and loosing fat first.
I was able to get my arms to 19" and very slowly reaching 20" but again they are fatter than I want so when I do diet down the goal is to have a solid 16-17 inch arm which is well within reach,years down the road but still within reach.
we have no room to say hes wrong,yes give him tips on other ways of doing it but he is certianly not wrong.
I see nothing at all except a job well done.
this is obviously his first stage,which is to eat alot and lift even more.
once he gets the size up then he can worry about tuning and tweaking in order to chisle that fat off.
1morerep, I mean you no disrespect at all, you are massive and look wonderful you obatined something after years of hard work that is the envy of alot of lifters.
but you have been at this for so long and even your teen pics look great so I really dont see where you can fully understand where this kids coming from. You just have never been in the situation of tryng get massive like X,myself or the OP.
Give him a break,he is working really hard and getting where he needs to be,its not how you would or have done it but he is still doing alright for himself.
