correct way to measure arms

[DarshallH3]

I had a question on the correct way to measure arms or any muscle for that matter. for example if i say i got 20 inch arms does that mean i am measuring while flexing or while cold? also is that after i just worked out my arms to get their biggest pump or is it while i am not training.

You answered your own question.
Do a measurement flexing cold. Then Do a measurement with a pump flexing.
2 different measurements.

Your arm 'cold' is un-pumped. Of course it'll be flexed.

there are perma bulkers at the gym who have huge biceps and there are guys like rich piana with synthol arms who are huge too. it looks awful right?

focus more on how they look in the mirror, don't worry about measurements

Not sure I've never measured my arms

I have no clue what the proper way to do it is but I would assume you measure flexed.

Whatever way makes you feel better I guess. I only take flexed measurements myself. Who cares about cold measurements. If you were measuring your dick would you measure cold or pumped?

Flexing can be done pumped or un-pumped (aka cold)
