I'm just curious

[Killswitch]

Some people say that I suffer from Bigorexia. I think I really am small though. I figured I would ask here. Is 18" arms a pretty decent size? I've been working out for a little while now and ever since I've gotten on creatine that is where they usually stay now(there usually around 17 1/2 but since I've started working out they are bigger. I plan on juicing in about a year or so but I feel that my arms are puny. Is it true that I suffer from bigorexia or am I really just a person with small arms? My wrists are 7" by the way. I think my chest is about 50 to 51 inches and my neck is 18". Still got a beer gut lol but that's going to get fixed with alot of crunches and some cardio. Are these decent stats(don't know my other stats off hand) considering I really just started working out? I'm not flabby either but also not shredded just solid. I guess that's my main question. Sorry for the stupid post I went out drinking tonight and I always get like this when me and my friends talk about working out.

Dont take this wrong.
You sound VERY young and slightly on the "lets get attention" vibe.
Nobody needs to ask if 18" is big.

It's all relative. If you're a fat ass with 18" arms then no it's not very impressive because it's half fat. However, if you're in decent shape with relatively low bf, then 18" are nice size arms.

I say this all the time to people who are in good shape but doubt themselves. You might not be the biggest guy or have the best body at your gym, but go out to a bar or the mall and look at all of those people. Chances are, you're going to be bigger and in better shape than 95% of the people there. When you realize that you're in the top 5% of the population, you'll appreciate yourself A LOT more.

Oh, and lay off the booze.

I agree with Apexx. If your 6' 2" and weigh a smooth 250, 18 inchers will not "appear" all that big but if your 5' 9" and weigh a hard and lean 185, 18`s will look huge. Its all relative. My arms at best are 16" and not big by ANY gym standard but as Apexx said..... when out and about in public I got just about the best arms around.....

I understand what yall are saying. I'm 25 by the way and what is wrong with the "get attention" thing? That is why I decided to start working out. That and of course because it's healthy. Like yall say if I go to the mall it seems as if I am the biggest guy there, with an exception of a few.lol There will always be somebody bigger. I just need more confidence in myself and realize that I am not small even though I feel like it. When I was in high school I was very skinny. I could put my thumb and first finger all the way around my arms and still have slack. I think I have a very good starting point. I just need to get more ripped so that they will appear to be even bigger. It's crazy this one guy at my gym is considered by everyone to have huge arms and they look pretty damn massive. We were all measuring arms after a workout the other night and mine were bigger than his, I would have never believed that, but he is more shredded threfore is going to have more impressive arms. I'll get there, I'll see how I look after a solid year of heavy lifting with a good diet. Then I can maybe think of going with the juice to get freaky.
