I have Chest muscle, my Chest (36") is not small, but my hand is small & skinny!!

Maybe some of u is asking how skinny my arm is?
My arm is 12" skinny arm, much skinner that what darklight quoted as skinny 14-15".

Don't worry about it. I'm talking skinny in relation to more hardcore bodybuilding standards.

12" you call skinny....mine also 12" only ma.....14-15" is like as big as your calves already..that's more like the average bodybuilder's biceps!

Irrisistable, you can't compare to darklight79's "skinny" definition. To him anything less than 15" is skinny!

you talking your forearm or upper arm 12"? Actually how big you wish your arm to be? 20"?

20 inches for upper arms are well nigh impossible for the genetically average people and without any drug assistance. It is the illusion of size that matters sometimes.

My measurement is on BICEPS!! Is about 12"+-, skinny!! (12" is right hand, left hand is slightly less than 12"). My 12" biceps is the result after doing push up, pull up, chin up .... Anyway, I cope I can get a litle bigger, maybe 1 more inche!!
Sorry, I didn't mention earlier!!

Eh friend...you should measure your bicep without any stimulation and not flexed.

So, I measure wrongly!! Bcause I flex dyring measurement!! Sorry...

Both measurements are feasible. Most bodybuilders measure in flexed and relaxed states.

I'm doing more triceps exercises now...just realized that a big bicep with a semi developed tricep looks like crap...Triceps give a nice shape to the arm

Yeah, that's good. I see too many idiots doing just endless sets of curls in the gym for biceps and neglect everything else.

But bicep curl is fun though! It's quite fun to do

Trying for 35 pounds hammer curls this week!

1kg = ????pound

1kg = 2.2 pounds

Hammer curls eh? Yeah, those are good. They work the brachialis to give illusion of peak. I've got pretty lousy genetics for bi's but hammers have helped a lot.

My forearms look damn weird for the last 2 weeks....top big bottom flat...now doing some forearm exercises for extensor. Any good exercises for the bottom part of the forearm?

If you're looking to develop it for aesthetics, do wrist curls. But they won't help you much in the big compound lifts for the back like deadlifts, pull ups, chins, etc because it's not functional strength you're developing.
Go for static holds, pinch grips, Farmer's walk, etc.

hmm this is my advice lor...

normally ppl do pushup a lot a lot until like crazy but imo u just gotta stretch and stress the right places

try pulling a 5kg dumbell holding it straight (duno how to explain but pull it halfway and keep it there)

do it until ur hand want to break lol... then repeat at the other hand and keep doing it until either hands wont go any further

it works for me

in the end u will get nice arms

jackie,the thing u say sounded like deadlift,

erm deadlift if i am not mistaken can go more than 5kg, preferbly heavier to strenghten your back

or it sounded like a "clean n press" thing.......
