How can you tell if a guy is muscular without looking at his body/arms?

Can you tell if a guy is muscular by not looking at his arms/body? If he's wearing a t shirt and it doesn't really show his body or arms, can you tell by looking at his Forearm? (the area between his elbow and his wrist?)

  • Looking at someone's forearms might indicate that he has a bit of muscle mass and is strong, but it's not going to predict if he has low body fat and is defined. He could easily have flab over his muscle. Not that much fat builds on the forearms or calves on the legs . Guys tend to gain fat around their stomach first with small amounts going to places like the chest, butt, upper legs, and upper arms. You can still be strong and muscular with a bit of fat, but I think you're more wanted to know if a guy has about 5-10% body fat (look defined), while an average healthy male might have 15-20% body fat (looks a bit flabby).

  • Thanks for explaining what a forearm is.

  • By looking at his trapezius muscle.

  • Depends what you mean by muscular.

    Wrist size is pretty genetic.

    Guys who lift to get strong have slightly different muscles from guys who lift to look pretty.

  • You usually can tell by his forearms.

    I never do wrist curls (for your forearms) just using & holding onto a heavy bar or other piece of eq. usually builds up your forearms.

  • If they are wearing a t-shirt you should be able to see their biceps somewhat.. Lol or they will have t*ts sticking out of their shirt if they work chest as well.

    It seems really shallow but I guess everyone is somewhat, I have had a girl punch me in the back to check..

  • Pecs and biceps. And if they have a good back it'll show through.

    • Also the way they dress. If they like fitted/ tighter shirts they know they are muscular.

  • Still see some muscle definition through a shirt.

  • Yea. If a guy has skinny ass arms from the elbow down the he is not so strong
