Those are large arm dimensions for a 40" chest, IMO.
I understand what you’re saying but I kinda disagree with your implication that you necessarily have to try something before you know whether it will work. If you’re 5’3, you don’t need to try hard in basketball to know you won’t make it to the NBA
Come on man…. Muggsy Bogues already proved this theory wrong

lmao new lifter on the internet is so confusing. Volume is king, no intensity, no its a balance, no its all about frequency. By the way if you don’t get 40g protein post workou you won’t grow. Actually protein is overrated its baout carbs. Actually keto is based.
Internet was a mistake.
Yeah but, yeah but, yeah but…
Some guy said this…
Another guy said that…
A lot of this stuff is people who want to put results before effort.
That never goes well.

Have you lifted a single weight since starting this thread?

A more important question to OP:
Has your golf game improved?

Why is that relevant ?
Good thing nobody told that to Muggsy Bogues.
I know you’re joking but the man was a freak of nature. His body potential allowed him to be the 0.1% who could be good at the sport at his height. It wasn’t only hard work
I wasn’t joking. If he shared your opinion that you don’t need to try something in order to determine whether you’ll be good at it, he would have not become a professional basketball player.
I always find it interesting to see if or how these types of things effect peoples effort and results.
So hows it going for you?
No, I haven’t, I did some more research and scoured other forums and ended up deciding against it
Thats unfortunate.
Its basically saying “If I can’t be outstanding, I’m not going to try at all.”.
I understand that it might seem that way to you but I don’t think you would say the same if your potential were as low as mine.
You have no way of knowing what your potential is if you don’t even try to meet it. You’re giving up before you even start based purely on some demoralizing theory of what you could maybe achieve. That’s incredibly stupid.
If you were to have spent the time you wasted complaining online actually lifting, you probably would have accomplished something by now.

Dude, I started lifting at 9 years old in 1981, the malnourished 50lb’r on my 4th grade wrestling team that had to get a paper route to buy my own food.
I don’t give two shits about potential. I care about effort, and you haven’t shown any.

Holy shit @SkyzykS thats a story!
OP the vast majority of us don’t lift to compete, or even to be elite. We lift because it makes us better. Even if my best is less than someone else who doesn’t even train, its better than the version of ME who doesn’t train.

Thats why I always laugh at these threads. So predictable. 
Dude wouldn’t be so laissez-faire if he was the youngest of 5 and had to fist fight over a drumstick.
He’s like “nah. I’ll just stay weak.”.
You have done quite good over the last couple years too.

I don’t doubt that lifting has made you all much healthier and happier. I just believe that there are guys who are genetically not meant for it.
