DAMN, those are some fine arm genetics. The things I would do to your big, brawny arm genetics. mmm mmm MMMMM
There are people who say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Apparently, none of them have ever seen your arm genetics.
You know what would REALLY highlight those genetics of yours? Two words: grape… FRUIT!
Instead of asking how big your arms look (even though you already measured them), why don’t you JUST LIFT…
BRAH?

how is it dumb? I rarely ever isolate my arms and they still seem to grow at rapid pace. [/quote]
Its dumb that you take a bathroom pic, ask if you have good genetics, say you just measured them, but then ask how big are they. You could zoom in on my little nephew’s arms, without scale, and they might look like 18" cannons. [/quote]
Have you ever taken a physics course in your life? You can’t be this stupid. I’m standing a few feet away from the mirror. It’s not any different than when you look at yourself in the mirror at the gym. So when your nephew looks in the mirror at the gym does it look like he has 18 inch cannons? Oh yeah he does, therefore ronnie coleman (when looking in the mirror a few feet away) will probably have 100’s. (That’s unflexed/no pump)

Dude, it’s a pretty dumb, pointless, egotistical thread. Be that as it may, you’re not helping yourself by attacking some of the more experienced and respected lifters on these forums.
Here’s my laugh for the day.

What’s your current bodyweight and strength on the basic lifts?

honestly there is no way to tell your arm genetics from a in passing bathroom mirror picture. Is your goal to have bigger arms? Do direct arm work 1-2x a week it won’t hurt anything.[/quote]
Gotcha. I just measured them last night. Could you estimate how big they are? [/quote]
If you just measured them, why do you need an estimate on their size?[/quote]
To see if they look as big as they actually are
[/quote]
How big they look is going to be relevant to your size…
Lee Priest’s guns are not bigger than Ronnie’s, but they look so insane because he’s a smaller guy to start with.
Are you happy with your arms? If so, good. If not, try harder.

I was drawing a blank on Lee Priest’s name, but he looks like a beast in images. short dude though, but amazing physique. Guess he has bad arm genetics.
Google Flavio Baccianini. Dude is sub 5 ft tall, but in pics looks like a beast. I am sure in real life, still looks amazing, but not the same as in pics.

As you know I’m weak relative to some of the beasts on this forum. You usually give the best advice. Last year I was sub 170 and I followed your advice and I’ve gained 14lbs since.

Dude he’s sub 5ft. Even if the hulk was sub 5ft he wouldn’t look nearly as big in real life.

Nevermind comparing yourself to beasts. Compare you to you.
In 10 months - almost a full year - you’ve gained about 15 pounds of bodyweight, 40 pounds on your squat, 50 on your dead, and 25 on your bench. Would you say your “reasonable plan” was a success? I will say it’s great that you hit your bodyweight goal, but you fell short of the strength goals you’d made. That may or may not have been related to your insistence to increasing very slowly. But I do feel like a guy your age and size could’ve made similar progress in quite a shorter time.
Just saying. Determine your goals, figure out an appropriate plan, and make sure you’re taking the most efficient path from A to B instead of falling in love with one particular method.

I continued with the slower progression method and my body has never felt better. Usually people who do the overload method they either get injured or have many aches and pains. I didn’t have these issues and I never hit a plateau. Also I probably gained closer to 20lbs because i’m helluva a lot leaner. I’ll be hitting 275lb on bench and 405 on squat in no time. Thanks for the advice
