I think Needsize's arms in our banner pic were 17".


I thought he said they were 18.5" when he dieted down. I was gonna cite him as a counter-example to Mentzer, to illustrate my point. There are amateur competitors in every region, and gym rats at just about every gym who are about as jacked as the "great" BB-ers of the '60s and '70s. There are so many more people lifting today than there were then, that it's inevitable that the bar has been raised; amateurs today are achieving what the pros of yesteryear could only dream of.

With a pump and bloat, I personally have measured an honest 18.75", and I'm not even a good lifter or genetically gifted, just kinda big-boned. 'Course that was with over 20% BF too... I'm an inch down from that now, and still fat.

how do you get fat arms? I want fatter arms to make them look bigger under my shirts.

Easy -- get fat all over, and surely some of it will find its way onto your arms.
 
MrDB,

You just said it. 18.75 BUT you were OVER 20% bodyfat AND are big boned. I thought we were talking BB here? I saw a chick yesterday in wall-mart that had at least 19 inch arms. Do we also count those in this discussion? I've been at this for a long time now (20 years+) and know 20 inch lean arms are not that commom. Reading this thread most everyone is sporting a pair, including the teen set.

isnt the whole point of BB'ing illusion? i mean yes if your arms are 20+ lean they will look huge..but even if they dont stretch the tape that much its possible they can look bigger..NS arms (although they are big) look much bigger than what the tape says..same thing with back width..impretty wide but so is my waist so it takes away from my v shape (but im not a bb'er lol) take someone with smaller joints than me and a tinier waist they may actually look bigger..
:insane2:
