As much as you get big biceps by lifting hard for many years, genetics can also play a big role. My father has never picked up a dumbell and he has 19inch biceps, well close to 20 something like 19.7.

I've always had a hard time putting inches on my arms too. I've been lifting for 1.5yrs seriously and didnt gain more than a 1/2 inch in my arms until a couple months ago. What I did was started doing supersets/trisets for my biceps and triceps at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week I would do normal sets. I did this for about 4 weeks and endured the pain of supersetting but it really payed off. Now i'm 14.5 inches flexed and about 13.5 relaxed. I litterally gained an inch in a months time. Its mentally challenging but this way worked for me.
============ Quoting from garvani: ermm well your a gymnast so i feel its ok, but in saying that your arms are bigger than mine :-( Guys how long does it take to put on some inches!? im like 13" now.. so lets say i have the perfect diet, good workout habits, how fast could i put on say 3 inches? (thats my medium term goal).. all i can say is im glad i live in new zealand, ive got another 8 months before summer.. hopefully pleanty of time to get another 3 inches in.. i just started working out 3 weeks ago btw... ============= |

Hank ... if your arms are 14.5 flexed..13.5 unflexed.....that gives the impression to me, that you have to tricpes, if you want big guns, you ned to train the tricep its 60% of your arm theres a one inch increse flexed, my arms only only like .5 off between flexed and unflexed...............and i'm with jdelts I wish I never posted this! I wish the madness would stop!

Why not look around your classroom and compare with others?...If you are ripped and you can tell visibly their is muscle their I would say that yeah they are pretty big....But if you are one big old fat boy then no because when I was pushing 200 my arms were like 15" with no muscle at all....

i say chest size is overrated, but this is only because i am a woman that does not have huge boobs.
but this post really should die, right alongside with the "what do girls want" post. i mean really, no one knows the answer to that, not even women. -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right. |

Chest size is overrated when it comes to females of course...However I am truly an ass man and could care less about the breasts on a female.
Biceps/chest/abs are overrated...Whatever happened to the nice look of a good wing span :) |

problem with bicep(arms) size is that it doesn't really tell much about the actual muscle or strength...it also depends on the goal of the individual....for pure strength goal....the muscle size will always lag behind....
I am guessing this is the teen max bench of biceps.....lol....Andrew I am surprised you were the one who started it lol.. | |

Your arm size should reflect your ponderal index (how much muscle mass you have for your height). This is the best approach, as it takes into account that arm size is a byproduct of overall mass gains.
Genetic factors play a big part in arm potential. If you come from a family whose members all resemble comedian JJ Walker, chances are that you'll never really have arms that serve as shade for small forest animals. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com |

I tell people this all the time.. how many 150lb guys you see with 20in arms? very few........big guns... you need big back, chest, shoulders legs everything. Most "big guns" are on people 180+lb guys-------------- gravity is not a law, only a obstacle |
2005/06/06, 02:44 AM
I would like to see 1 guy with 20 inch arms under 220...haven't seen it....even 230 for that matter.....rule of thumb I heard people use was an inch in arms for every 10 lb in bodyweight....

I am 16, 6'1" tall, and weigh only 130. My biceps are 12.5", so it pretty much goes right along with the 10 pounds per bicep inch. My calves are 14" and my waist is 30".
