Is it even possible to get 17-inch arms while being
>natty
>lean
>not a manlet
I just measured mine and they barely hit 16, granted I don't blast biceps with the intensity I should but they seem fairly useless for the main compound lifts. Post measured arms if you're going to advise pls and thxs
why are your arms so short
they're not, I've got a positive ape index
>6'2 height
>6'4 wingspan
either im fucking up somewhere or my lanklet genes are fucking me
I'm at work so i cant post anything but you must be doing something wrong. I only do pullups and pushups and i got 15". Granted im a Marquiss of manlets at 5'8 but still
You have inspired me. Thank you. wagmi
6’3 here, mine were 17.5” last winter at the end of my bulk, they’re now 16.25” after my summer cut. Arm= neck is greek god proportions
welp i've got a 17 inch next so clearly some catching up is needed :/
are 18.5 inch arms possible natty?
not while being lean thats for sure
pics?
looking good, honestly keeping fit makes your body look like that of an average 20 year olds, impressive tbh
Mine refuse to fucking grow. 15 inches and I curl 1pl8
I'm 6 ft and have had them lean at 17" while natty. I'm on gear rn tho so these puppies are ticking in at 18".
Since everyone is just throwing around numbers without pics, I'm natty, late 30s, a hair under 6ft, six pack lean, and my arms are around 15 inches. I don't think they will get much bigger natty unless I gain weight but I'm happy with them. They were closer to 16 inches a few years ago when I was bloofy but they look better smaller and leaner.
>15 inches
This is what I hate, people always throw their flexed numbers around when it is specifically about cold&unflexed
No, it is cold and flexed. What the fuck would be the point of measuring unflexed? That's like measuring your flaccid dick.
Coping about your small arms like this is pathetic. Are you walking around flexed 24/7?
yes. obviously.
Post your big unflexed arms then, pussy
The bait.
The bite.
Extraordinary creatures.
When you're tall it can go either way. You could put on the same amount of muscle mass as a manlet but it won't add to the circumference. I saw Greg Doucette saying the most ridiculous thing in his video about arm size - he says manlets should add 1 inch to their biceps size for every six inches shorter than they, which is "only fair". Holy copeium.
Are arm measurements flexed or unflexed?
The general rule is gently flexed but not pumped.
mine are barely 16 inch.
Just fucked up editing the pics so gotta work with this. Mine peaked at 16" (left) but I always felt I should be able to add at least another inch just because my triceps are lacking. At my peak they also looked like fatceps despite being relatively lean, because I tend to store a little bit of fat in my arms. Right is a little leaner and smaller but the pics are just shit to compare. The thing is as soon as I stop smashing arms they deflate like crazy. If I am depleted / haven't restored glycogen I could lose an inch cold. On a cut I lose at least an inch from peak size. I was dieting for summer and then had some tendonitis so I couldn't train arms and they went down to sub 15" on some days which scared the shit out of me. Luckily they should get back to normal in no time.
No fun posting reverse progress but this is what not pushing food and some tendonitis did. Pretty sure they'll be back to normal in like 8 weeks though.
Still looks juicy anon you’re good. I dunno how much you care about building specific muscles but in my experience larger delts will help make arms look bigger
I think trying to get bigger delts is what got me the tendonitis in the first place, because I switched from BB OHP to heavy single arm DB press and just swung the DBs up and really the whole setup felt terrible on my elbows. I think I will stick to regular OHP and then go a lot lighter on DB press if I keep them in but for now I'm still recovering.
NH has 18 inches
>not a manlet
You do understand that the taller you are the more mass your frame is capable of holding, right?
But you have a lot more space to fill with muscle for an equal circumference. Greater potential but more work to achieve similar size.
cmon bro read in between the lines, yes the taller you are the more total mass you can have but it's spread over a greater distance, leading to a smaller peak. that and taller people generally have longer arms meaning more muscle is needed to achieve the same circumference as a shorter person with proportionally shorter arms.
Take this unedited pic of jeff for instance, his arms at rest aren't even halfway down his legs, mine are about 2-3 inches from touching my knees at rest
But you literally said 17 inches, not "big arms".
Either way, you can get both 17 inch arms and relatively big arms. It just takes time, like for any natty regardless of height.

KWAB heightlets btfo
Didn't alpha destiny and gvs talk about getting 17 inch arms finally. It's funny because all the big natties look so unaesthetic.
>It's funny because all the big natties look so unaesthetic.
spoiler: almost no excessively muscular people are aesthetic.
no amount of steroids makes you aesthetic.
I disagree. There are many aesthetic roiders and natties alike but the biggest natties, guys like nippard just look like hunks of shit lol not sure what it is
the only aesthetic roiders are those that can pass as natty, after the first few cycles they all look like shit.
>but the biggest natties, guys like nippard just look like hunks of shit lol not sure what it is
when you're training naturally you can't decide to add more size to a certain muscle, they just won't go over their capacity, so by getting as big as possible naturally you'll have some muscles reach their limit way before others and end up looking disproportional, the best natural physiques are not 'at their limit' for that reason.
In my opinion the people that completely fill out their frame and aren't lacking any body parts / have no weaknesses in their physique don't always look best and you see that a lot with the shorter guys that tend to fill out more easily and then have this stocky look to them. A smaller but taller guy with a nice frame, small waist, broad shoulders, can look aesthetically pleasing even if he has glaring weaknesses and could get a lot bigger.
>178cm height
>198cm wingspan
At one point I was 120kg with abs trenned out body guarding for some eastern euro shithole club and my arms still looked small. Never really measured them because who cares what number, they look small compared to my other parts.

I want to rape that cat
what a disgustingly abhorrent thing to say. There's a perfectly good rapeable women right there
Who in their right mind would rape a w*man?!
Do you any idea how many diseases they carry?
There's this rule of thumb that for every inch you want to gain on your arms you have to gain like 10lbs of body mass. Is that about right?
>Is it even possible to get 17-inch arms
>I don’t blast biceps
>they seem fairly useless
>but I want bigger arms wahhh why is growing muscle slow
This is how I knew OP is a retard
Likewise mine barely just hit the 15.5" mark with my skinfold measuring roughly at 1".
I'm a far shot from lean, and I only really started training a month ago.
During that time I haven't been directly training biceps, only activating them lightly during compound lifts.
Before that I was completely sedentary for multiple years, with my only exertion being the odd dump trip or carrying deliveries at work.
If I'm hitting that measurement without even really trying.
Then it's easily possible given time and effort, for someone who's lean with a progressive overload training regimen.
Just remember that it's more about training triceps, and less about showboating with bicep curls.
Without having that solid supporting underneath foundation which allows for further expansion and growth, you'll see lackluster bicep growth.
It's a time and again repeated mistake, I see summerfag zoomies and even the experienced who should know better doing it.
They want juicy biceps for impressing chicks at the beach, yet neglect the the most important part that chicks don't reach in for.
In addition throw in some sandbag training, and you'll see your gains explode.
As shaky uneven weight without a center of mass, does wonders at shocking the system which gets accustomed to simple arching movements.
Sandbag curls, zercher walks, sandbag tricep extensions, sandbag skull crushers these are your best friend and will see your arm gains explode exponentially.
>less than one month training from sedentary
>15" fatceps
>thinks anyone will care about his broscience blogpost that I didnt even read btw
you would probably have 11" arms if you werent so fat.
not saying 17in is impossible natty, just saying you need to pipe down and lurk more.
I care not for face value vanity or looks and only wish to better provide for my family through labour, choke out my enemies in battle, and carry my loved ones to safety in times of crisis.
I'm happy and confident in the progress of my strength and ability to always be stronger.
And I wish only that of the same for everyone else.
I only speak from tried and tested experience, as I was well into my lifting many years ago.
And found increased focus on tricep training, the key to having a better curl rep max and bigger arms.
Aswell as finding sandbag training and ruck running a viable alternative to the gym, when I was strapped for cash and unemployed.
I still to this day supplement it within my routine, it's great and I implore everyone try it before relegating it to the pile of bro science.
I didnt read your post, just stop lurk more.
holy fucking fedora shut the fuck up
you fat fuck whos been lifting for 1 month shut the fuck up
just get fatter. trade off abs and other girly bullshit for thicker arms
6’ 2” 220lbs 17.5” arms. 19 y/o and natural in this photo.
yea right
What don’t you believe?
the little fact that someone would reach unironical peak natty top 0,00000001% genetical freak physique by the age of 19. everything else is believable but that little thing
at least acknowledge it, literally not a single human person on this planet has had a better physique "natural" at that age
I was 19 in that picture. I have pictures from when I started at 14 until now. I am 20 years old and on steroids now. Idk if it makes it more believable but here I am at 16.
im just saying that you were at the age of 19 as a natural bigger than zyzz lol
220lbs lean
Fuck off you're bigger then me so you're on steroids
shit man Im the same height and leaness as you there but a full 20lbs lighter what the fuck
>I dont isolate biceps
>my biceps are small
>why are my biceps small?
OP has once again proven himself to a fucking retard.
My arms are 18 inches. Not natty though
