how much weight = 1" on the arms

[iamcdn]

many thx to all the bros who gave me an answer, and fuck those who didn't like the question.

i was just thinking about it one day and was wondering if their was a generalization, thx again for the input


<h3>there is no such thing as a dumb question</h3>

I agree with Andy, and also from my own experience. 1" = 15lbs

This question is about as fucked up as a football bat. That would be like asking how many twinkies need to be eaten to go from a 34" waist to a 40" waist. Who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares?

well let me put it this way.....do you care about how big your arms are or how big they look? me i care about how big the look. and i would say that doesnt have much to do with weight.

1" per 10 pounds? i think that is a pretty shitty generalization. say you start out at 170 which a lot of guys do with 14" arms. so when you get to 240 you will have 21 inch arms? sure didnt work for me that way.

Good point jc, look is definitely more appealing than size. A 180lb guy @ 7% bodyfat will look a lot bigger than a guy that is 215lb guy with 20% bodyfat. My training partner at my gym is only 200 lbs at 3.5% bodyfat, but when I first met him, I would've sworn he was at least 220lbs. It's all in the look!

My point exactly. This question is fucking retarded. You could actually get bigger arms just by eating twinkies. They could grow in diameter from subcutaneous fat. If you are a tall guy with long arms , it is obviously going to take a lot more weight to grow one in then a short guy with short arms. And people put wieght on difft. Someone could be working harder on legs say or another body part that may grow at a faster rate then his arms causing more total wieght to go on his body with no increase in diameter. A book could be written on the variables in this question. Noone can tell you for sure even if you fill in the variables.

Actually, according to Charles Poliquin, it's about 15lbs from what he's seen.

I would say that is about right.
