Who has the Biggest Guns on the Site

What would you say the ratio is. I have a 6,6 frind who's arm size is slightly lower than mine but has been training nowhere near as long I have wondered this.

not sure but i would think a guy of 6'4" would need about a 22" to look as big as a guy of 5'4" with 18" its how big it looks that really counts.

ankle and wrist girth come into it too-more so if your natural

kinda meant that if youve got thin wrists and ankles(say 7") that you your unlikely to be able to grow calves the size of someone with a 8" ankle as a base-john mccallums formulae(promoted in super squats)was based on wrist measurements-for a 5`9"man at 190lbs(solid,but not ripped-say 12%) a 7" wrist will produce a chest of 45.5",hips of 38.7",waist of 31.9",thigh of 24.1",neck of 16.8",upper arm of 16.4",calf of 15.5" and a fore arm of 13.2"- awrist measurement under 7" will produce smaller guide girths and a measurement above 7" will produce a larger set.i will write the formulae if any one is interested.

Yeah do that, would be an interesting read!

ye i know all that lol, the point i was makeing is for a tall guys arm to be as big as a shorter guys arm it would have to have a greater girth measurement. hell a guy of 6'6 would prob have a 17inch arm with no training. your on about a calculation used to predict how big your arm will grow based on bone size which doesnt work anyway.

if a guy is 5'5" it doesnt matter if his wrist is 6 7 or 8 inches his upper arm still looks the same size compared to another guy the same height.
