Did you see someone that fat in this thread? If so, point them out specifically. Do you have any pictures of your own progress up, by the way?[/quote]

The person in his post was pretty fat, but I’m guessing that you couldn’t see the pic.

Another troll from the class of 08 (the most overrated class in T-Nation).

Congrats to the folks in this thread who have reached 18 inch arms.

18" is the benchmark for decent genetics (in my opinion). If you can get there relatively lean with a decent shape to them, you can probably go as far as you please if you put the time in.[/quote]

Well, this guy isn’t relatively lean, so he fails to meet your criteria.

I’m sure you disagree. About the leanness part.

So does it not really count as 18inch unless Bicep and tricep separation is clearly visible?

im not trying to shoot down anyones progress, but without some sort of seperation in the arm, no size i’ve seen has looked impressive.

ok so pics or it doesnt count now = all visible muscular seperation or it doesnt count?

not at all what i said. if somebody flexed their arm for an audience at w/e size, it wouldnt be very impressive without some seperation.

make w/e arguement about the how neccassary it is to put on bodyfat while bulking, bodybuilding is still a visual display; an arm without seperation isnt the standard for asthetics.

Deorum hit the nail on the head!

Yeah, he also missed by a mile the simple realization that no one goes from skinny to fucking huge by staying in perpetual contest condition (unless large amounts of drugs are involved)…so while yes, I agree completely that you shouldn’t claim some larger arm measurement if you are carrying so much body fat that you can’t see the biceps or the triceps, you also shouldn’t go around insulting everyone who isn’t ripped right now because they are trying to get even bigger.


A big part of definition is ligthing.

Very nice.

I bet before Artem cut down, he had the exact same amount of LBM and BF% as you do in that pic

…which is about the same as you have in that avatar.

Point?

Another angle, and I got a tri shot coming 1 sec.

Tricep

hahaha, sorry, i was hoping my sarcasm was apparent.

background: i am pretty sure artem compared himself to Austin musculature wise earlier in one of these threads which is very much laughable

Austin, how much are your arms and forearms now?
