How many inches are your biceps?

[Ananchor]

My boyfriend and I have a bet, if his biceps get to be 16 inches by the end of the week he gets to pick the gym I join. I'm sure he will accomplish it because he's stubborn. I asked him what he would do, pull-ups, push ups, curls etc. and he said no curls- they are vanity muscle. They make you look a lot bigger but don't make you as strong as other exercises. So I got to thinking what is the average bicep measurement in inches for men? Assuming its fit men and no one will take a measurement of 20 inches of fat

[genericname85]

pull-ups is mainly for lat and push ups mainly for pecs xD i think he doesn´t have such a great idea of what he´s talking about. if it´s only about arm thickness, he has to do bi- and triceps curls... of course it´s cleverer to get more buff overall so you should train all these muscles also isolated.
my biceps ~ 15 inces (get bigger directly after workout) but i don´t want to get more, because i don´t want to look like a bodybuilder (i am not a tall guy too, this is also important, if you want to compare).

[Ananchor]

Oh he's extremely fit, I was asking him what works he was gonna do , naming off ones to do with arms that I knew about :P
He's 5-11 so he's not too tall either but he runs 5ks about every other day then does crossfit between that

[genericname85]

ok if he is fit allready, and it´s just about the arm thickness, he has to do curls... otherwise, he is wasting time.

[genericname85]

if he does a lot of cardio and crossfit, it can also prevent the muscle from growing.

I'm currently 16 inches.
Unless he's at like, 15 8/9 inches right now, there isn't a chance in hell he'll reach 16'' in one week.

[Ananchor]

He's coming back from a broken hand he was at 17-18, he's at 15.5 on right 15 on left

[rthomas43]

Yeah, no way in the world that he can be 16" by the end of the week lol

[rthomas43]

Thanks for MH :)

[Climber]

start the gym anyhow, its fun. My upper arm is 11" unflexed and 13" biceps flexed.

[douride2]

Here I thought I was the only freaky one. hahahaah

[musculargirl]

Mine are 17" and I workout 5 days a week :D

[BertMacklinFBI]

ok push ups is not a bicep targeted workout:P curls ARE hahahaha. and genetics play a big role even for the "average fit men" so sizing isn't going to always be on par.

[Ananchor]

Yes but all around a man who can do 100 push-ups is gonna be stronger than a guy who does 100 curls. You'll be stronger because you're working out more muscle groups. He means he doesn't want to be all arms, big arms are great but if your legs and core and back can't support anything you'll be screwed

[BertMacklinFBI]

I get his point, he wants to gain benefit from a workout that can be applied to daily living. but push ups is not for biceps is what im getting at.

[Ananchor]

I don't know I just named exercises, he's the fit guy not me :P

[just_tired]

Unless he is 1/10 inch away from 16" he's not going to come even close. It's physically impossible gain more than that much muscle mass in a week, might be impossible to even gain that. Might be possible though if he's biceps fill up with water weight.

I'm about 14.5 inches flexed.

[GoldCobra]

You mean arm measurement? That is bicep and tricep included. My right arm is 13.5 inches and my left arm is 13 inches.

How is he going to magically make them grow in one week? mm's maybe, but not inches. Flexed I'm at 15.25 and unflexed around 14. Tone

[Ananchor]

Well one arm is bigger than the other 15.5 and the other 15, he's coming back from a broken hand
But he's been working out two hours a day, he gains muscles very quickly. His biceps before his hand were at 17-18 inches

[Abdulwahh]

Which bicep size do you find big 16 and up

[luvgrlmusl]

Mine are 13.5 but I have beaten people with 16 inch arms at arm wrestling.

[DaxandCarmen]

16 inches. Not easy for me to achieve though. Some guys have 16 without working out.

[Alexious]

I don't know...
All I know is my left is bigger than my right lmao.
I don't work out though..

[MuscleDj]

I'm finally at 16" again. Training very hard for 17"

[Anonymous]

Mine is about 13 inches. I do a lot in terms of weight lifting and push ups

[jenndrop24]

Measured both, they are both ten"

[knotme]

I think mine is 11, now I need to measure

[Anonymous]

[douride2]

[Climber]

[Insaan]

[Anonymous]

[Opinion Owner]

lol some skinny dude is mad. Do you even lift?

[Opinion Owner]

I have 14 inch forearms as well. :D

[Ananchor]

Haha oh golly

[Opinion Owner]

lol the sad thing is that I hardly ever lift, and I don't study how to get the best gains like all these small guys. I am strong though. :)

[Ananchor]

Yeah my boyfriend is just a big dude by nature. He's not worked out in 4 months and he's still that big. He wants to be as fit and strong as possible, not just as big as possible. He doesn't want to sacrifice speed for big muscles. His whole family are just big wide dudes

[Mikey81]

Mine are 12,5 inches flexed.

[rgb008]

Mine are 12 inches.

[Abdulwahh]
