Big Kev....are you by chance left handed??? I am, and a few people explained to me that may be why the left is bigger. I try to do concentrated curls to catch up, but if I'm doing both arms, hows that going to work??? Lift more on one side than the other?

i dont think doing extra sets for the smaller arm is the answer, that may end up making you more out of whack. when doing any dumbell movement i start with my left(the smaller of the 2) so that when my left is done, so is my right. this has helped out quite a bit. when doing barbell curls i try to keep the bar level, and in doing so i keep the pressure on both bi's even. the differance isnt even noticable to anyone but us. i wouldnt sweat it BW.

i dont recommend isolation movements at all for those trying to get bigger bis. 4 sets of heavy barbell curls, 3 sets of medium/heavy dumbell curls to absolute, gritting your teeth, seeing spots failure. if i'd add anything, it may be 3 sets of cable curls at the end to finish the pump off.

Newbie here. 13" relaxed, 14" flexed. I guess I am just a little girly man in here! But that is going to change as fast as I can make it.
I was about to post a question on whether you measure flexed or not when I found this thread. I only recenly started working out again in the last few weeks after several years of not taking care of myself. Been lurking here and learning a couple weeks now.

[eradikate]

everyone is so god damn huge!! im only 14 1/2 flexed....my goal is 18. got a long way to go. My bicep is much bigger than my tricep for some reason. Even when i was young i always had big bis...

[Sicilian30]

17" unflexed and unpumped.
My left arm is bigger than my right, and I am right handed, but my right bi is more defined.. explain that one? Now what I do is, when I am doing bi's I tend to pick up a heavier weight for my right arm and lighter weight for my left to counter measure, seems to be working till I can get my right and left same.
By the way, I just wanted to remind everyone that the Tricept makes up 3/4 of the arm mass, therefore, if you work your tri's it will make your arms bigger. thought I would mention that cause everyone thinks when you say arm it is all about the bicep, but actually the Tricept has more mass and area on the arm. Just a tidbit...

[Terinox]

I don't get it, how are you supposed to measure it?

Cold - does this mean unflexed AND unpumped?

I measure mine when it's flexed (but not pumped) and it measures in at 15.5 inches.

So I'm guessing if I were to workout bi's real hard and measure them after my workout, they would be about 16-16.5 inches. And if I measured them without flexing, probably 14.5 inches.

I'm pretty sure my tri's are bigger then my bi's!!! This sucks. Everyone is always dissatisfied with their bi's! They are almost as hard as working the abs! They just don't grow to become huge! Unless your BigKev

[Sicilian30]

Ter, I used to have that problem till I started doing hammer curls after I posted something about this. Man, did my bi's start growing, never have they grown so much. Thanks to the buds at AR here, I think it was Dane that told me to try hammer curls, I did and now I am hooked. I also talked to a bud of mine who showed me a trick to really getting the bi's to peak, at the top of your movement, twist the dumbell out (like away from you) on your up ward movement, really makes that bicep peak.

[Adonis]

16 3/4 for me.
If your looking for a peak on your biceps, try doing preacher curls with a reversed grip.
That is going to get that outer head out like crazy.

This is an interesting thread. I know everybody here is being truthful, but so many on various boards LIE about biceps measurements.

Just for fun, take a guess at how big my arms are. Don't feel the need to suck up...be 100% HONEST and realistic. I'm 5'10" and about 249lb in that pic (239lbs presently).

EYE_CANDY and ANN cannot guess as they already know.

[DevilsDeity]

20.5 to 20.75?

[lethalppl]

i be honest if it small please do not be offended. 16.5 to 17

[lethalppl]

maybe 17.5
they look good though
just looking at other things.

[Adonis]

I would say about 17 3/4".

Given your 5'10" and I'm 5'9", yours look bigger than mine, I'm just comparing it with my avatar.

[RON]

Pete, Were built pretty similar bro. Im guessing 19 or maybe 20

[Fif the Great]

My guess is 18.5" cold.

Anyways, mine are right at 15" cold. It's the damn length of my arms. I have arms like a monkey. Biceps stretched out over longer length = smaller size.

[Tsunami]

15.5"
Only 165lbs though...

Big Pete, I'd guess around 19.5 my Iron Brother. There looking real big. Just curious, what AS were you on when the pic was taken, if any? Peace and Be Safe.

Pete, I'm going to say 18.5 to 19 pumped.

[Pete235]

My arm measures 18" cold flexed and that is the truth. Most people guess bigger by about an inch. I feel I have a decent shape and that gives the illusion of a bigger arm. The point I wanted to make is tape measurements don't really mean anything guys, but I constantly see people (ON OTHER BOARDS)who add an inch or two because they are afraid what everybody else will say...why? I like to have the respect and admiration of my peers, but at the end of the day, the only person I have to answer to is myself. If I can look in the mirror, hit a biceps pose, see constant improvement...then that is all I will ever ask for. I think my arms look decent and most say they look big, but if I was 10%bf they would probably measure 16.5-17"...that's 4" smaller than my bro Big Kev!! My goal is 18.5-19" LEAN and I know I'll get there. So, don't worry about what anybody thinks...keep banging and feel good knowing that your brothers here at AR will never flame you!

Frankie....I was 3 weeks into a deca /dbol /sust cycle

[RON]

Thats a good point Pete. I know when I say my are 20 it looks big but that will lean out to be somewhere around 18. I hope it will at least. Thats why I wanna gain a little more before I start cutting them up. I need to get a digi cam so I can post some pics and see what you guys think they will lean out too.

[Destructo]

My old girl friend's are 14." mine are 18." we're both 5'6." She is 150lbs 12%. I'm 180lbs 10%. Fun question.

[Tapout]

I did not measure my arms in over a year and King Samson kept nagging me so i measured and was happily pleased
they are 19"cold and 19 and1/2:" pumped
I saw a old pic and measurements of me when I started traing hard 12 years ago and they were 15" probably pumped
i know that dec of 98 my arms were big(did nt measure) but jan of 99 had major neck injury and my right arm went down to 15" in 3 months time and it took me 1 and 1/2 to 2 years to get back to 18(i let my other arm drop size so i would not look stupid)and a little over a year to get to 19"
it gave me a whole new respect for people with neck injuries and it took a long time and lots of hard training and supplimentation to get back

[chris245]

around 16.2 last time i measured

[lethalppl]

wow this thread have became more then i expected... keep on posting guys

I'm a tad over 17...but considering my guns used to be as big as my wrists...It's an improvement. I'm loving the veins on em too, makes em look 100% better.

They'll be at least 18 by the end of my next cyc. Watch.

[theron]

i'll post up pics soon once i buy a scanner.

[BigBuddha]

Woo Hoo, last time I viewed this thread my arms were 16, I have since graduated to 17 inchers today!
