I want to have 18" arms one day

I'll only do that if I work them out and I seldom do arm exercises anyway

^TANK^ · 17 Jul 2009 at 09:14

I want 23 inch arms.

I would happy with 16" arms, only 14.5 at the moment and I'm giving Bicep/Triceps work a rest for a while as I think I may have been overtraining them a little.

Last time I measure (about 6 months ago) I measured 16.5" arms.

THats a bit greedy

IFFB Pro Pete Brown came into our gym the other day to speak to the guy behind the counter, I'd be happy with the same size arms as his

Greedy

or not I work hard for it and don't use my arse for a pin cushion unlike most of the other big boys :eek:

If I pulled my thumb out and got lean, I'd probably lose half an inch to an inch tbh. I'm also just under 6'2" with long limbs.

Makes me feel a little better LOL, I'm only 5'7" (maybe 5'8" at a push) and my arms are pretty lean.

Mine were about the same when I started and are over 16.25 now. Atm I'm not focussing on them and giving the time I used to give them to my legs but for me at least my arms grew nicely when given their own day even though some may say they were overtrained.

I very much doubt I will get much bigger (far too long in the tooth) but one can always dream.

wordy · 17 Jul 2009 at 13:45

Of course you will! I'm 32, only started training a year ago and am really pleased with the gains I've made. (I've posted then and now pics on page 45)

J.T · 17 Jul 2009 at 13:58

I'm 34, you're a youngster! LOL

Guess I'll just keep at it.

Although by your 30s the test levels and hormone levels are lower in your body, it's a stage where the muscle fibres start to become very dense (over being used for a peroid of time). From ym research and calculations on average if you keep exercising at your usual rate you can put on as much as 4-5lbs of lean body mass purely through muscle density. Ok it doesn't sound much, and you won't necessarily be much bigger but in appearance your muscle fibres will be much more dense.

J.T · 17 Jul 2009 at 14:06

Are you sure you don't know me FF, people are always calling me dense....

dun · 17 Jul 2009 at 14:06

Ye like FF says you'll start getting some of that legendary "old man muscle". Good times

Freefaller · 17 Jul 2009 at 14:11

I'm trying to make myself feel better for when I turn 30 next year

Joking aside though your muscle just keeps getting denser as you grow older - up to a point then it starts to soften again
