Go back and check out flex wheeler.

It is so obvious know that his shoulders and arms were OILED to the hilt and yet he is "the sultan of symmetry"

Not knocking his career by any means but when I go back and take a good look at old mags or online pics of them it really get a little bothersome to see how much OIL abuse was going on and how it was the "generation of pure physiques" to stand by.

Progress will always occur in various ways and as much as I respect those past, present and future I still won't ever want to look like the "classique physiques" of yesterday.

Interesting...I have been training for 30+ years and no matter what I tried I could never get that bicep peak...size yes...peak ...no. ..and it does kind of look unnatural, now that you point it out...or maybe I'm jealous.. :-)

Never thought I would think this but Beckles looks the best out of these pics.

Robinson does look suspect Beckles has different sized bicep heads just not as pronounced as say Boyer Coe.

I would like to see before and after pics of your arms if you have any but I must say I've been doing glute injections since 1980 and I still have a white boy ass...If it's not synthol injections I'm skeptical. I've been wrong before.

I have done 1cc of prop in both arms before for a while. I felt like it was just inflammation that cause them to look bigger. It's a virgin muscle and hurts at first but you get used to it.

I'll try it next cycle.

Everyone is saying genetics. I'm going to thank my parents for having shit genetics when it comes to arms. Thank you everyone.

Arthur Jones figured out years ago that the longer the muscle and shorter the tendon the higher potential for growth. When you make a muscle if you can insert 1 finger or none between the forearm and bicep your in good shape. Two fingers or more is not good. Looking at many of the pros I beleive this to be true.

Genetics is the key here .. training does play a role but a small one. IMO .

Id say consistency with a sprinkle of genetics - genetics doesnt have a speed limit for your arms
consistency is key

if you let the various thngs that want to work against you, do so, then arms grow slow

Ive been stuck at 18 for yonks, but consistency and smart choices were my real problem
Genetics somewhat too, with long limbs, 18 look shit, so you need to inflate more I guess

but genetics aint the biggy. just look at the big lads when younger, nothing genetically special about them. they all wake up and take a shit in the morning the same way too. Its the basics that matter

90% genetics 10% right workout routine, imo.

One of the biggest genetic freaks (regarding huge arms) passed away yesterday :(

Sam I Am's picture

Genes. But some guys look great with 18 inch arms.

I would be happy with 20 inches

Sam I Am's picture

Few men can grow 20 in arms with low bodyfat. Mike Mentzers arms were 18.5 inches in contest shape. At his height that's huge. I'd wager 80 percent of the guys on this forum don't have 18 in arms.

Nail on the head there...with LOW bodyfat.

I've seen many brag about 21+ guns but when you have that much fat around the muscle IMO it does not count.

Thought process for arms are like a dick for most of us. No matter how big genetics gave us, we still want to figure out how to get that sum bitch bigger.

25" guns and 13" scholong or bust! LMAO

"Giving zero fucks on whether that is takin' homo or not...I mean seriously, its just a damn comment"

Exactly you’ll notice Oz below says he had 18 in arms and it’s no big deal. He’s in good shape but does he look like Mike Mentzer? The only guy to ever get a perfect score? There’s nothing hypothetical about that. It’s reality.

Obviously that is an hypothetical wager...how do you prove/disprove it? From reading so many posts on eroids by guys who claim to be huge, I am surprised that 18" is anything to even be discussing...I was 18" at age 35...I'm now in my 60s and still have 18" arms...I don't consider that to be very big, I want to be bigger...some of it is genetics, most of it is consistent training.

It's not so much the size that matters as much as the shape and insertions. Some guys look amazing with 17" arms, others have to build 20" arms just to look normal. it's just motivation to work even harder.

Sam I Am's picture

I agree.

Very true

Sam I Am's picture

We can't all be freaks but anybody can have a great build through diet and exercise. I idolize certain pros but at the end of the day it's what I can do with what I have. Bodybuildings the greatest sport and you can do it your whole life. Lou Ferrigno,Jack Lalane and Clarence Bass. Those guys never lost it...

Ha, I see myself as a medium sized guy. But I will be. When I hit 270 I'll officially be ok with calling myself a big guy. For 6 feet plus you gotta at least be over 250

helloBrooklyn's picture

Typical bodybuilding dysmorphia lol. You're pretty damned big. 270 is gargantuan.

daksmack's picture

I have 20.5 at the moment broski! But my calves are taking forever to grow like I want. My arms get blown up the first 2 mins of any workout while my caves enjoy the watch during and leg day movement, it takes 10 sets and then my veins show on caves. I don't get it, fml

BFR and intermittent stretching
it'll fcuk your calves up

Juicemonkey29's picture

Calves are genetic from what I read...My arms are decent my ankles are small but my calves are boulders. Do 4 movements like any other muscle group and they will grow.
