    I don't know. I miss my 11 inch arms. They were pretty. I feel like a tank now. Thank you though :):)

    Just like some women have never had (or will ever have) a thigh gap. Or many guys who'll never have 18" arms or a bicep peak. Or some people (male or female) who'll never have diamond-shaped calves. Genetics.

    Answer me honestly. Do you want to be big? You MUST enjoy being and staying lean, even with the amount of food you get to eat. Being fluffy and working hard not to be fat, sucks.

    I'm short, only 5'2" and I don't have a large frame. I think you look AMAZING.

    I have to work not to be fat, I just never held fat in my arms or in any of my upper body. I'm a pear shape with lil A cups.

    I want to be more muscular, yes. This is why me bulks. Do I want to be huge, no, am I going to get huge, no. Do I think you are huge, no way. You look amazing, but I could never look like you even if I spent at least a decade bulking, just the way my body composition and distribution is. Even when I am at my heaviest from pregnancy about to give birth, my arms stay the same, it's like fat doesn't hang out there. When I gain fat/weight it goes all to my lower body and love handles.

    But you're bulking...do you do much direct arm work?

    Whatever is written in my program (3x per week) plus an extra upper day. It is not a focus though because my lower body is. I don't dislike my upper body, yes it could be bigger but it isn't like I look in the mirror and get sad about it

    Unless you mean direct isolation work, bicep curls? No

    Yeah, that's what I meant. Then you must be happy having slim arms. I get it.

    Mine grew when I was doing a ton of bro isolation work while injured. I don't LOVE them but it's also become addictive. Like..I'm afraid not to do all my bicep work and I love the pump too. Who am I?

    I do two upper body days a week, which includes four different curl variations. My tris are actually pretty good, just my biceps are lacking.

    I do isolation work. My arms are small but when I flex I have a nice bump. Before I started lifting my arms stayed flat when I flexed.
