>6'0
>12.5" biceps flexed
How long would it take for someone to get 15" arms?
Just an estimate, given a decent diet and routine.
6 months, 1 year, 5 years?
>>40956177
workout your arms a lot and include lots of high rep isolation (8-21) and every 10-20lbs lean bw gain you'll get an inch
also stop believing these dumbasses that you can build huge arms with only/mainly compounds, these guys are all midgets so they have big arms at 12"
anecdotal evidence is everywhere, during summer you see all these curlbros with HUGE bis and literally flat triceps and all they do is lot of isolation "bro exercises" for their biceps. now include also your tris that are more than half of your arm size and after gaining +45lbs lean muscle you'll have decent arms for your 6' stature

This makes me feel better; I have injuries so I have to isolate biceps/triceps and keep my shoulders still and supported.
Would the machine in pic related, and the tricep version of said machine be enough? There's few exercises I can do with my injuries.
>>40956177
I'm 6'0 myself and my arms are 15" unflexed and 16.5" flexed. It took me about two years or so but I hit arms twice a week.
>>40956394
> It took me about two years or so
How big were your arms before the two years?
>>40956177
Pretty much this. >>40956276
As a complement, you should be training bis/tris 3-5 days a week if you want it to get big. High volume, not no much intensity.
>>40956377
prolly not quite good enough, if you can use those machines you could prolly do cable rope curls and cable rope tricep pushowns which i both recommend as someone who gets forearm tendonitis from too much regular curls and elbow pain from most tricep exercises
2-4 sets of 10-16 reps of rope cable curls with many sets of LIGHTweight 12-20 rep or dropsetting dumbbell hammercurls or concentration curls should be doable for you
for triceps id do the same 2-4 sets of 10-16 reps cable rope pushdowns with plenty of (closegrip) bench, sometimes I just do my CGbenching with ezcurlbar and pump out a ton of reps for sick pump
those machines could be added on top of these exercises depending on your routine but imo they scream injury to me unless done very light
>>40956497
Tomorrow's my first day at a gym since my injuries. What do you mean by low intensity?
I plan on doing ~20 reps until absolute fail
>>40956519
My injury is the sternoclavicular joint >pic related. Certain arm and shoulder movements make the joint almost dislocate, and it is very unpleasant.
Thank you for the advice. It's nice to hear that I don't have to reach fail within 6-8 reps, as I think I'd damage myself.
I'm excited to try rope cable curls and tricep extension. I had completely forgotten about those exercises.
>>40956424
10 or 11"
>>40956637
Low intensity = weights that you are able to do 50-100 total reps.
As med student, my advice is not to do failure reps on curls.l, especially not bb curls. There are no gains over doing 2 3 before failure and you're risk your joints and tendons by doing shitty form.
>>40956177
Is 15 inches considered big? My ceps are 15.5 flexed no pump.
>>40956177
When did you realize that lanklet isn't a meme?
>>40956809
I'll be careful
When I was 15 I did a dozen 25lb bicep curls and felt failure approaching, but I ignored the pain and did five hundred more reps
Couldn't bend my arms for the next month, and tendon pain for 3 years
I took the advice of "keep going until you can't do another rep" too literally.
>>40956881
Bigger than average
>>40956276
idk buddy i've seen more bicep gains with weighted chins than anything else, I don't even do curls anymore
>>40956177
Two years.
High volume for biceps twice a week, heavy skullcrushers once a week and rope tricep extensions
Im 16 and 5'11 and I have 15 inch arms. Ive been training arms twice or so a week for like a year.
>>40957669
Only those 18 and above are allowed to post friend.
>>40957669
at 16 i had 16.5 inch arms. stop thinking you're special because you're young. I hope you try to bench 3plates and the bar falls on your fucking neck
>>40956177
Rule of thumb is 1" on biceps for every 15lbs of muscle you gain, so, assuming natty, the absolute minimum amount of time is gonna be about 16 months
>>40956177
God knows, I don't work out much and already have 16 inch arms
Something something genetics
>>40957791
something something fuck off fatty
>>40957816
Buttmad, you asshat?
>>40957825
>i cant help you with your question but what i can do is post this post just bragging about my 16.5" fatceps while i dont even lift!
>>40957859
Pretty sure this should be in tqtddtot thread
>>40957712
dude take it easy, just conversation nothing to extreme as to trigger your autism. Also at 16 I had 45 inch arms. Also I dead lifted 20000 kilos for reps.
>>40957879
qtddtot should be renamed to frd (fitness related discussion)
desu most of the questions that directly dont have an answer in sticky deserve their own thread
in qttdtot you get maybe one short answer if youre lucky and no discussion
