    5'4". I have 11 inch arms when I'm below 135 and 12 inch arms between 135-150.

    12" is my goal. Right now I'm at 11".

    They grew while I was eating like crazy and doing a ton of direct arm work. I feel iffy about them. Like I love the FEELING of getting bigger, but sometimes I like the smaller look better. Sometimes.

    Yeah, I've gone up half an inch since I started this bulk!

    Woot woot!

    I guess I'm the only one that loves it when I try on a shirt and it doesn't fit due to my bulging biceps???

    Not at all. I've had to move up shirt sizes and love it.

    I dunno....I can reach things really well and my arms go through my sleeves pretty nicely. I didn't realize there was "an ideal arm size".

    I mean, why does that have to be a thing? It's like when Dove ran an ad trying to make women consider be more aware of what their armpits look like, and make sure they are moisturized because.... well to sell deodorant, really.

    But the last thing I need is one more silly thing to measure my body against.

    That ad is so annoying! The world is full of armpits skinny concave flat blahblah. YouTube won’t even let you skip it.

    But I AM conscious of my arm size, despite never measuring it. I have long skinny arms, I like how they look, but I have trouble putting my own suitcase in the overhead bin on airplanes. And those are at most 20lbs.

    I like it when I'm lean. There's a difference between my 12 inch arms when I'm surplussing and puffy and my nearly 12 inch arms when I'm a few pounds down and actually look like I lift.
