when you say your arm is cold its supposed to mean un-pumped, not just un-flexed.

so when i say i have a 16.5 inch gun, i mean is 16.5 inch at room temperature which basically translates to 16.5 inch cold.

your gun is 20 inch’s cold.

big arms, must lookl like an absolute savage[/quote]

I get it now. Well, what I did was wake up one morning and just put a tape around my arm while it was hanging down at my side. It measured 18.5" so I thought that was “cold”. I then raised it up and flexed and it went to 20". I didn’t realize this was still “cold” too.

funny story, I started with 11 inch arms and I always thought that 15 inch arms were huge. Now, I realize that what I thought was “huge” is now just the average arm size of people in the gym.

Hahaha. Come on, Meat, what happened to the bodybuilder in you? :slight_smile:

I found a tape measure lying around my friends house the other day so I decided to measure for the first time if probably 6 months.

Funny enough, I haven’t done more than 5 sets of curls a week in the last 6 months or so and they’ve grown a tad. All the heavy ass rowing and chins help.

He lost his razor and put about 80 pounds on himself…

you’ve definitely made some great progress considering your age. even if you do measure your “guns”.

You want big guns? Damn near 2/3 of your arm mass is triceps. Stop worrying so much about curls and hammer your tris. Close grip bench presses. Nuff said.
