How do I get my arms this thick?

[b fold the truth]

This debate is silly because nobody only trains legs. I agree with backlash. Someone who has a big squat knows how to train, knows how to diet, etc, and THOSE THINGS cause big arms, not big squat.

Just for reference, I know of a guy who's a PL-squat specialist. At 170, this guy squats 450 but has like 13.5 inch arms. Sure he trains upper body but it's not his focus.

I love big squatters...they are nearly as crazy as big pullers.

I think that for a while I only did squats and deads...lol...I hated bench pressing so badly...lol. I'll see if I can find some pics of me with VERY big legs with a pretty small upper body. It will get a few laughs.

your right this is silly..there is always an exception ..no offense to back lash but if thats your arm in your avi you keep doing what your doing..its obviously working!!!

Ouch, I felt that one from here

genetically typical people need to do our squats and deads, they might not directly give you big arms but they get you bigger and stronger all over. if only it were so easy to build big arms without getting a bigger overall body.. maybe if you're a meso on gear but this kid sure aint.

I think the one inch = 10 lbs rule only applies if you have no legs or back... I gain maybe one inch of arm size for every 25lbs, but I put on a lot more on my chest and legs...

Maybe i was a little harsh..thats the point im trying to make..It would be extremely difficult to build big arms without getting the rest of your body bigger..looking good in your avi tweakle..that broccoli and tuna paid off!!!

I think everyone needs to remember that people respond differently to training...there is no one "right way"

2 people could be doing the exact same routine...eating the same food...and can get completely different gains...

Genetics play a large role....but who cares? If you are doing compound movements...doing squats and deadlifts....eating enough...etc ....YOU WILL GROW...

Why do we see people year in and year out in the gym training only chest and arms and not growing? Many reasons.....There is someone in my gym that does this..does half reps on bench with way too much weight....and guess what....curls 65lbers on hammer curls..not like freakish but you would think he has big forearms\bis? Think again...they belong on maybe one of the olsen twins...

A well balanced routine=well balanced growth

lol I'd love to see the form Mary-Kate uses on his hammer curls.. theres a dorky guy with no legs who does the same thing everytime I go to my gym, giving me 'death stares' while he does it. Too funny.

thanks beast

Fucking A...this guy does the exact same thing to me....I think he has adonis complex or some shit because he is always in the mirror grooming himself and looking at how pretty he is....

Ah...how I hate commercial gyms

Yeah my arm isn't big compared to a lot of people but it's grown almost 3 inches in the last two years. I'm also 6'3" so it won't look big until it's like 20 inches.

I also squat every week, sometimes twice a week.

Doesn't that whole idea of 10 lbs. = 1 inch make no sense? I mean...10 lbs. would add more thickness to the arms of a guy who's 5'3" than a guy who's 6', right?

dont take it too literally..of course 10lbs on someone shorter will look like a tremendous amount compared to someone taller..thats why ronnie just dwarfs people hes 6' and 300!!
