What is the ‘conventional’ way of measuring body stats? I done a quick run over this morning all cold 20 mins after waking up.
18y/o, 6’0 with 15inch bi’s?
Ive only been training 3 weeks properly and I dont understand how people are putting up 16 inch when flex’d etc who I’d presume have been training alot longer than me?
This isn’t meant to sound arrogant I’m just interested…[/quote]
Actually, all of this means absolutely nothing. It’s like comparing apples and bananas and a whole lot of internet masturbation on top of it. I could walk into Walmart today and find a forty-something woman with 16 inch arms. Unfortunately, she would also have 60 inch hips.
The point I’m trying to make is that the guy who is ripped at 180 with 18 inch guns is going to look a helluva lot more impressive than ProfX with his 20 inchers.
Take me for example, yeah I’ve got 14 inch arms (cold, in the morning - there, happy?), but I don’t have much of a peak and very little vasularity in my arms. Therefore, a shorter woman with ripped 12" arms may actually look bigger because of the “peak effect” (or as I like to call it, the Fireplug Effect).
It’s all relative to your height, weight, limb length and bodyfat.
So stop comparing yourself to others and just focus on your own progress. I’ve kept training logs for years and can go back and see how my arms, legs, weiths, etc., have improved.
We are all snowflakes; each unique and only here for a short time. Don’t waste it by worrying about what the other guy is doing.
Well that sure shut me up!

Yes, and take gojira for example…a girl with a fuller ass and hips will look a helluva lot more impressive than her and her flat booty “noAssAtall” syndrome. It’s all relative.

I see your point, but I am not a snowflake, I am a lightning bolt albeit a unique one.

Hit a nerve, did we? My god, you’re sensitive.
Remember, I used myself as an example also.
And no, I won’t post a photo to rebutt (lol) ProfX’s imaginary image he has of me.

I think a picture is necessary and had a nerve truly been hit, I would have come at you much differently. The bottom line is, there was no need for my name to be used at all. There are also very few people walking around only 180lbs with 18" arms unless they are extremely short.
190lbs 16.5"
14" bicep, 13.7" forearm. Is there something wrong with me, or should I stop deadlifting? =]
I am so glad. I have found the absolute worst waste of space topic that there has ever been.

I felt compelled to post my stats earlier and laughed at your post.
Its true, but who cares, if it was a waste of space, why did you click and post?
Im starting a “dick size of T-Nation readers” thread today!

Hence my term “fireplug effect”.
So, now do you see my point? The guy would have short limbs and his 18" arms would look hyooge next to your 20 inchers. I used your name because many people use you for a benchmark in regard to being big. A yet you took it as a personal insult, which it was not meant to be.
And no, I still won’t post that pic.

I think he is trying to imply he is so above this and that his arms must be huge again making him so above this. As you said Maxx, if he truly is why did he respond? We lift to get bigger and stronger and sometimes it’s cool to see where we rank with others in our game.
