18 year old bodybuilder off-season

[bayou_strongbod]

Hey everyone I posted a while back when I first joined the forum. I just wanted to update everyone as of now I am still natural and have decided to compete in a local NPC contest in louisiana. I am 6 ft. 5 in. 275 pounds as of right know. The last time I posted I had a few not beleive my arm measurement but I mesured this morning and they are 19 and 1/2 inches. I just completed a bulking phase where I was eating about unreal amounts of food but it was all clean. I only gained 3 % bodyfat. My strength went through the roof now its time to start cutting down.

i would work your back more, really concentrating on contracting the muscles.

And bring up back as well. Cant comment on legs cuz no pics.

I was the one who didnt believe your arm size. And I guess its not fair to say I dont "believe" you, but just when you look at other people with 19" arms they appear much bigger. I suppose its just because you are so tall that for your arms to appear extra big they will need to be over 20" for sure.

So I didnt mean to knock your accomplishments or anything, its just that I know Mark Dugdale has 19.5" arms and I mean...

[football2007]

Well, i'm 6'2" and have long ass arms and they are 18"..they look much much smaller than that

I can believe 19.5

[soulstealer]

I'm in the same boat as you bro... measuring 18..3/4... @ 6'2" they look pathetic compared to someone 5' whatever"... and it pisses me off...

[Oki-Des]

Hey Soulstealer,
I bet there are plenty of shorter guys that would gladly give up an inch on their arms for an extra inch on their height. You can always build up your arms with dedication but growing taller is a biotch! lol.

LOL, a buddy of mine jokes about that with me... he competes regularly and he's 5'8" I think..... looks jacked as a motherfuker and his measurements are close to mine...

[GGallin]

yeah my bi's have stayed between 18-19" and most people say mine dont look that big either so dont sweat it.

Exactly, this is what I meant. They just dont look that big relative to most other people I see at that size. Nothing to take offense from, like GGallin said (dont sweat it).

Jus when I first saw i was like wtf...

Yeh its just because their bones are much thicker and longer. I guess relatively speaking a guy who is 5 8 with 19 inch arms has more muscle on the arm then a guy 6'5 with 19 inch arms, because a greater amount of that size is bone thickness.

**edit**

[audis4]

holy shit, your eating like 160g carbs in meal 1! I would be fat as hell!!

[Obro]
