Arm Size

[Prince K]

on average with proper diet and traning how long does it take for person who just started training to gain about 2- 3 inch on the arms?

add 10 pounds of body weight for each inch... is an old school way of looking at it i've read before.

Probably 2-3 years to get quality muscle on your arms from compound movements I'd say.

I'm sure there are other opinions out there.

just gain about an inch on your arms and start buying x-small shirts and bam! "dang, you been workin out??" nah, im not real sure on the specific lbs per BW and mass gain ratio but sticking with the heavy compound movements will put size onto those upper arms. keep eating big and lifting heavy bro. cheers

Depends where you are starting from .... along with height and body weight and length of training.

Let's say you have 15 inch arm and want 17. That will take a good 20 pounds more of overall body weight - muscle - and one year. That's bi's and tri's.

However ... Let's say you have 18 and want 20. That could take 18 months or more and some very radical changes in your body.

I've found it to be slow and frustrating.

i could care less about my arm size...

they will grow as your body does... if they grow faster than the rest of you, you end up looking like a retard...
