Yep. I wasn’t able to lift as long or as heavy because of that pain in forearm. I have actually geared my workout more towards squeezing the peak contraction which is how I figured this out. Even though am not going as heavy as I have in the past, the increased volume and the act of holding relatively “moderately heavy weight” for that peak contraction has also aided in more growth.

What happened to your forearm? I’m sure you have posted about it elsewhere considering you don’t elaborate but I am rather interested… I have an injury in my left forearm (not acquired through lifting) that has made certain movements impossible.

Awww cmon now. I’m not saying it isn’t an accomplishment, but I think there’s a certain level of development warranted for public bragging rights and I don’t think it includes 18".[/quote]
What if the guy with the 17-18 inch arms is very short?

While I find humor in your joke, some assface is now going to post some dribble about compounds giving you huge arms thinking you were serious.[/quote]

Have a good laugh at pointing out the exception to the rule. Quiz everyone on here that reached 19" and the dudes in the 18" thread and I guarantee more of them got here by doing direct arm work than chinups.

Ok now I’m considering doing more direct forearm work.

I was curling 80-85lbs dumbbells when mine first hit over 18". That was about the time I injured my arm (something I finally cleared up by finding out how to pre-fatigue the brachioradialis before training biceps so now my arms are growing again).[/quote]
