How big are your forearms compared to your upper arms?

**johnsbod** · 11-06-2005, 06:31 AM

I'm just curious. I'd like to work on my forearms a bit. Over the past year I think I've gained almost .5 of an inch.

Upper Arms: 17"
Forearms: 13.25"

Currently 16.5 upper and 13 lower. I haven't really been working my forearms at all really but that was going to be one of my focus areas these next few months. I'd like to add 2 inchs to them. :fingersxd

Bicep/Forearm=1.15 I've got bigger forearms--lots of working out for sport specific training and grip training. Or maybe my bis just suck!

johnsbod = 1.28
DarkFalcon = 1.27

silent_circus · 11-06-2005, 02:27 PM

bis - 15.5
forearms - 13.5

My upper arms: 11.5", Flexed 12.5",

Forearms..10"

**Grunt76** · 11-06-2005, 04:10 PM

Upper arm = 18.5"
Forearm = 14.5"

Ratio = 1.28

Interestingly, people often comment on how large my forearms seem. Well they are very "average" in proportion to the rest of the body. Maybe they tend to not grow as much as the rest like, say, calves? Both are extremely dense muscles...

dnyc99 has arms almost as big as mine

Excuse me as I go kill myself

**Grunt76** · 11-06-2005, 04:18 PM

Don't worry about it. I've heard of women who can bench as muchs as I can, and I've been lifting for 15 years. Work with what you have, give yourself time...

**skelooth** · 11-06-2005, 04:30 PM

forearm 13.5"
Arm 17.25"

Of course, that's with a raging pump

Cold it's prolly more like a pinch under 17" for my arm, and 13.25ish for my forearm. But who the hell measures cold flexes anyway?

**Peaked_18** · 11-06-2005, 04:32 PM

Arms: 18.50"
Forearms: 15.75"

I have heard that forearm size is genetic, which is true. Go talk to AJ.

how do you find shirts?

For forearm growth, just handling heavy weights has put on a lot of mass to them. I also do the wrist roller on back day.

**Peaked_18** · 11-06-2005, 04:35 PM

I cut the sleeve part like my fat high school teacher...

**Ikaika** · 11-06-2005, 04:57 PM

I've always really struggled with adding size to my forearms. My upper arms are around 18", but my forearms are a scrawny 13"...sigh.

pammiejoe6 · 11-06-2005, 06:24 PM

upper arms: 14
forearms: 10.25
