FRUSTRATED with 16 Inches!!!!!

billsica

It might even be a little less, I think I get my finger stuck in the tape. I've been measuring my arms with no change at all. I;ve been at 16 inches for a wile now. I see guys on the internet with 28 inch arms, even over 30!! I know that would be unrealistic for me. My goal is to double that size to 23 inches. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong I'm such a failure. Here is my workout routine I've just started last week. Its an A B repeat.

A
Bench press, lat pull down, preacher curls, skull crusher, dip machine

B
Inclined bench, dumbbell curls, cable overhead extension, EZ bar curl

I also do pushups at home, I've eliminated all of my leg workouts till I see progress to my goal.. What can I do? I see online these guys doing this clean. I have no interest in any performance enhancers.

The question is.... is your lady satisfied? Does she really need a couple more inches.....to be happy.

Can she take it all in stride? Or does she already need some space. You might have gone too far.

Or maybe you just need to work it a bit more, to make it harder? Make those inches count.

More protein? More bulk?

I'd be happy with 16 inches

and don't expect sympathy from me my biceps are only 12 inches :sad:

I really hope you're trolling/being sarcastic re eliminating leg workouts.

Measure in metric, the number will be bigger.

Didn't work for your girlfriend.

The answer is always more curls bro.

16 inches really is a bit too much. I mean, some things only stretch so much.

You just started last week! Give it time.


Also to add bulk you have to be eating above maintainance.

Im sure you dont know what you are talking about. Biggest real arms are around 23", talking about mr. olympias and of course, they are enhanced. I dont know where did you see anyone with 30" arms, because that is genetically impossible. And that egyptian synthol guy, in reality, doesnt even have 16" guns, its all synthol, they are full of oil, and he cant curl even 50lbs. You should really be happy with what you have right now.

I like to mix the yellow and the red, however if you decide to go with the blue, just make certain side effects don't last for more than 4 hours.

Your arms haven't changed, and you've been at your routine a whole week? Yep, you're a failure....

Seriously, though, just give it some time.

For realz? One week? :laugh:

ETA: Good call on the leg workouts. You don't need the distraction...

Math tip - 23 is not double 16.

Also, I wish these parody threads linked to the original...

thinklivebefree

I'm confused with the amount of men who bulk up their arms and abandon their legs. Looks 10 kinds of wrong to see Arnold Schwarzenegger's torso on Pee Wee Herman's legs.
Like c'mon, bro, you're scaring the kids. Bout to topple any second. Like a Lego tower with poor foundation.
Please work those legs. Women like nice legs, too!

I can relate. My big influence is Furious Pete off of Youtube. My arms are smaller than yours, mine are 366cm (14 and a bit inches in wacky imperial) I've slowly added 2-4mm each week. It's a tiny change but a change nonetheless and it will add up eventually. Don't be disheartened, it's just a plateau. Keep at it , mate.

Should I up my reps? I was doing sets of 10, but I think i can squeeze 3 sets of 15 each.

Bottom righty kind of looks like Jack Nicholson. Imagine if Señor Tumor Bicepio broke down your door with an axe.
Different movie completely. Horror factor up by 10.
But then he'd die of cancer before inflicting any damage. The Shining Disappointment.

If you can do more than 12 on an exercise then add more weight so you stay in that 8-12 rep range

If the pics you posted is the result you are looking for stop your routine all together...
Go have a doctor implant some silicone breast implants in your arms then you will look like these guys that have shot synthol in their arms to make up for their lack of ability in the weight room...

I read an article by Casey Butt a few years ago that said it best... "the chances of a drug-free bodybuilder attaining lean 22" arms are about the same as him sprouting wings."

tamadrummer001

@OP, you have to be joking, right? Those are the freaking arms you are wanting? They look like *kitten*! You can get them asap though, just order synthol and some hypodermic needles. Its also a good idea to use alcohol to clean the injection area too, you don't want big puss filled oil pockets.

If you have been only working out for one week, you will not see any gains at all!!!!!

Good luck, and don't do roid either, you are already unstable enough

You obviously are suffering from arm envy... just learn to love the ones you have! If that fails buy a convertible.
