andalite just wondering but what is your heigh/weight/bf% ?

Umm...

Height: 5'7
Weight: 188-192 lbs

I have never done a BF% test so I have no idea. I think I'm at somewhere around 20% though...I am a fattie lol..

Ok I got my hands on a measuring tape. I can tell you exactly how much my forearm is: 12 inches for both forearms...lol no way are the massive.

My biceps are 14.5 inches though...which is weird. I used to be bigger before.

Let me go over all my measurements now that you've brought this up:

Height: 5'7
Weight: 188-192 lbs........used to be @ 210-220 last January when I did all these measurements last lol...
Shoulders: 22 inches
Chest: 44 inches......this used to be 48
Arms: 14.5 inches.....used to be 15
Forearms: 12 inches
Waist: 36 inches.....used to be 40
Thighs: 25 inches
Calves: 15.5 inches....used to be 14

Strange, huh?

Congrats on losing 4 inches on your waist! But how are you measuring you forearms? This is how I have always heard to measure them for bodybuilding purposes:
How to Measure
Muscle Measurement - Muscle Size - How To Measure Muscles

Both sites say to measure them at the largets point just below the elbow, and mine are 13.5 with the tape measure pulled tight and forearms cold, so I'm sure yours must be bigger than mine. Nice work on gaining 1.5 inches on your calves too, that is a huge gain

do my forearms have to be flexed as in a hammer grip? Or do they just hang by my sides?

when I measure mine I hold my hand in a hammer curl grip and at a 90 degree bend in the elbow and tense my forearms...

Same here....andalite your forearms definitely look bigger than 12 if measured in that way.
