He meant his arms are only 20" long. That’s why he feels so “bulky”
Has he heard of the Meth and crunches program?
I really really really have the urge to say this.
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Go read Shape Magazine they will teach how to be strong and not bulky like madona.

Yup. He registered a couple of days ago and this is the only thread he has posted in.
Here’s a good diet for you:
It’s the latest fad. Plus its low in calories!!!
Too sexy for my muscles…
do you want to be a jean add model?
Dam it! It must be a catching disease!!
Now I have it too!!! How can I get rid of all this annoying muscle?
ok. I’m not posting anymore on this thread because you may be right…that part about the “huge” arms at 165 may mean something after all butI’m still not convinced.
HAVING SAID THAT! how hard is it to understand/believe that this could be a legitimate question?
As for my case, I used to have to buy 40 in legs to fit a 34 in waist back when I did heavy squats (max at 550x5 clean). Why is it that my point is not “appropriate”?
I would like an answer but this is the last I post on this as I don"t want to feed an endless discussion. Now, if none of you guys know how one can be strong, muscular and not “bloated” you can just either say so or just be quiet instead of hurling insults.
OK. back to my browsing of Dan Jon’s posts.

That’s awful. I’m sorry to hear that.
A friend of mine once slipped on a banana peal on the sidewalk and fell into a basement gym. When he came to senses, he could barely get up due to all the non-functional muscle mass that suddenly was bulging from his frame. The guy also magically gained so much strength, he’s afraid to wash his neck ever since lest he chokes himself out.
He can’t find any fitting clothes and the girls ignore him at the club and rather go for the androgynous skinny guys with the great social skills who are always having so much fun. Well, I guess that’s not much of a problem as he doesn’t leave the house anymore for fear of all those martial artists half his weight who roam the city and kimura him and the other big guys whenever they get a hold of them.
Now he just sits at home and posts pictures of bare female behinds on a bodybuilding forum on the internet in the hope of getting some poor unsuspecting football coach at school fired who happens to read the site during his lunch break. It’s the only joy he still has. That and dumbbell squats. I’ll bet my 29 inch steroid free arms they won’t find a cure before his kidneys have exploded due to the excess protein he’s consuming in order to raise his lagging bench. Poor guy.

You seem like a decent guy so I’m going to be decent too. Registering at “Bodybuilding’s Dangerously Hardcore Thinktank” and asking how to get smaller is like registering at one of my wife’s gardening sites and asking how to kill your plants.
what this guy said.

See, now that’s a different question all together and not wholly inappropriate, especially since you are looking at it in terms of a sports performance standpoint. I find Eric Cressey’s writings on this to be fairly good, so check out some of his articles. I am currently trying to lean out some for soccer because while I am not fat or anything, I am not as quick as I want to be at 5’ 7" 197 lbs. I need to be around 185ish… but I’ll be damned if I have to sacrifice the muscle I’ve worked so hard to put on.

Classic post, made my day.
OK. I said last post, but I should thank Kuz for the Eric Cressey suggestion. As for losing muscle who ever talked of that?
The valid point/question (that one could come up with from the "huge 165lber) is one of balance. Has no one experienced that one body part tends to respond “too well” and grow while another part lags behind?
What do you do, cut reps maybe in your leg exercises and then what with arms for example?
That has always been me by the way, thighs and ass get huge (remember Tom Platz?, not quite but in that direction) while to keep any decent size arms I had to insist and insist. So, what is a sensible way to attack something like that? meaning remaining strong and with a certain muscular look in the legs, but balance looks with function on a sport (like cycling).
By the way, the reason I wouldn’t post in a bikers only site is because they would be just as happy looking like Chicken Little as long as they go fast on the bike. Me, I am stuck with the muscles and strength mentality as well and I think that others would be interested in trying to keep a balance.
Currently, I am experimenting with power cleans and snatches and snatches and deadlifts as core exercises and no other leg work at all.
I didn’t expect ready answers but replies like above are possibly good starting points to look at.
Alright, sorry for the long post and thanks for a valid reply.
I agre with the above post. My torso is the only thing that grows, but my arms and legs stay the same. I kinda look like a potato with 4 toothpicks sticking out.
If I eat eat eat my arms will grow 1" per 10 pounds they say, but i know my torso is gonna suck up some of that. So the question is, how to you re-proportion your muscles?
