    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.

    I could go on.
    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."

    @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

    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.



    EDIT: 28 inch arms ? Buddy u going to need an Oil rig and a few needles . #Valentino

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

    synthetic oil substance, synthol, used by bodybuilders to fluff muscle tissues

    Even at my best i never broke over 22" and i was a semi pro arm wrestler. Your body fat % would have to be very high in order to achieve even numbers close to 20" without the use of steroids or some sort of HGH. Any idiot can inject their arms with synthol just check for it on YouTube, tons of people post using it to show how fake it is. Keep working legs, legs release natural growth hormones that will aid in overall mass and strength for the entire body.

    Is that what you want to look like?

    First of all that looks completely unnatural and disproportionate.

    Secondly, I think they are compensation for something else that is probably tiny!

    LMFAO!

    Listen, just because you're hung like a moose doesn't mean you gotta do porn.

    I understand it can be hard. Those casting calls with all the people in the room. It can be rough.

    Noob gains should get you up to 18" within two more weeks, bro. You'll be fine, ignore all the bullies in this thread. I thought this place was for motivation and support? Aren't we all here for the same reasons? What a bunch of rude jerks :(
