For the size of your bicep, you fall in the average range. There is nothing abnormal about the size of your biceps. In fact, your bodytype may influence the size of your arms more than anything else. If you're looking to gain mass, just get them as big as you can. You should also be doing a lot of weight when doing tricep excercises. Many people think that to get the arm bigger you only need to work the bicep. Remember: your tricep is a bigger and stronger muscle group. A well-developed tricep will make the entire upper arm look bigger. Good luck. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

I'm 6'2 and my bi's are 17", but I have friends that are about half my weight and are lucky if they can get to 12". -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked.

Id rather have a nice chest and muscles in my shoulders rather than in my arms though.

I like, read a thread and try to help the person with their questions, but then i notice how it was asked so long ago that the person who asked it is either dead or not seating in front of their computer waiting for an answer...

INTRUDER Posts: 642 Joined: 2002/06/27	2004/01/27, 03:30 PM 14.5" biceps r not 2 small. The bicep can be a very diffacult muscle 2 develop, its something u use all the time. Every other week I will use a lighter weight and higher reps, like 30-50. I get the best burn by doing my sets that way, THEY WILL MAKE U SORE SORE. ============ Quoting from goodguy: i have question to ft staff and all people! im 6'2 tall 18 male.and my bicep size is 37 cm. some people say it 's small size for my height. what size of bicep must be for my height? ============= -------------- "Get everthing you want--just make a little change now"
