you guys think 18" are big?

man, I need to readjust my thinking

**juicehoe** · 04-17-2005, 04:08 PM

Very true... now that i think about it he trys to cut down everyone to some degree. 17.5 is rather big for 5'9!

It's all in the persons personality really.

to me my arms are terrible without the pump, but compared to the people i see everyday they are huge. but when im on arms day, i think they look digusting.

i think tall guys tend to look bigger naturally than short guys. short guys look heavier, but a tall man is likely to have a larger bone structure. Gunter f*ing Schlierkamp is a perfect example. dude looks as big or bigger than the rest, but in all reality carries alot less muscle

**BARLOW** · 04-17-2005, 11:13 PM

no way...... short guys always look bigger........ u put 180lbs 7%bf on a 5'7'' person
and on a 6'1'' person, the 5'7'' person will look big and thick as hell.

**Jimmya73** · 04-17-2005, 11:23 PM

i actually didnt mean to say look bigger, i meant are bigger. someone who is 7 feet tall with bones in the arms like my femur can have 20 inch guns alot easier than a short guy

well no sh1t someones gonna be bigger if they are 7 feet tall.

its all about proportion, if someone is the same proportion at 6'4'' as another is at 5'6'', then the 6'4'' person will look much bigger. just because you are tall has nothing to do with how big your guns can be. notice a lot of taller people are skinny as well, you wont see many 6'7'' fatasses.

taller people have much longer muscles to build up, thus you are not just going to have thicker arms as quick as someone that is short and stumpy

See the thing is i have just over 16inch arms and to me i think they are like pipe cleaners and im only 5'7. So my question is why do people think 17 & 18 inch arms are so big and bad? To me u have to be short to think thats big. Id like to see what the taller guys think is big? IMO guys over 6'0 should have at least 19inch arms

**Rob** · 04-18-2005, 08:21 AM

I think you need to focus more on what YOU are doing in the gym and less on other people.......I can't even imagine how that conversation went down.

juicehoe: "Hey man, I think your arms aren't big enough. You wear that tanktop and you think you're pretty badass don't you? Try some cell tech moron"

other guy: "Looks like someone took a 170lb $hit and now its talking."
