Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I need some help with building my arms...im 6'2" and weigh about 220 with 12% bodyfat. Everything is tied in real nice and i have very wide shoulders and back. My arms measure 18" with a full pump. The problem is the my arms are so long that they look very skinny. From fingertip to finger tip my span measures 6' 4." My lifting partner is 5'10" and weighs about 195. His arms are almost a whole inch smaller but look way bigger than mine. Does anyone have any suggestions how to go about making my appearance look symetrical to my other body parts?

Wow. This is scary. Im 6'2'' 220, and I also have a wingspan of 6'4''. My arms are 17.5 no pump at all. I know what your saying I see the same thing. Not much we can do but put on more weight. Theres times were I think my forearms look like twigs but theyre really strong and developed. I try to work forearms three times a week at least.
Oh by the way I believe my bodyfat is around 12%. Man this is creepy.

I'm 5'9 w/ 6'2" wingspan. My arms won't grow but my chest, shoulders and back grow easily. Must be a leverage thing. When I do incline bench the range of motion is over 2 feet.
My arms LOOK skinny as hell attached to my wide shoulders. I've tried high rep, low rep, etc and still can't figure out what works for my arms.
They get stronger but no visible or measureable growth.

I'm 6'6". No idea what my wingspan is, but my arms are plenty long. After 18 years of training, last June I got my left pumped bicep up to 20.5" I weighed a juiced 320 at the time.
My # 1 exercise for building bicep mass is the EZ Bar cheat curls, keeping my reps at 5 or less. I do the first 2 sets strict, then put on a belt, use some chalk, and cheat the weight up like a motherfucker. On my last planned rep I try to lower the weight as slowly as possible.
My # 1 tricep mass builder I'd have to say is the close grip BB press. I use a 14" grip and keep my reps to 5 or less, bridging the weight up as needed.
At my last bench press meet in August I benched a personal record 485 at a bodyweight of 298. Not great for my body weight, but most excellent for my arm length.
I believe most any routine will work for awhile, but eventually you need to come back to the tried and true exercises.
