The Average American male has 12.6" arms

[Army of One]

Is it ok to laugh openly at this affliction or is it frowned upon?

[SF1900]

Depends. Is this including people who post on GB?

LOL, i would think so, since most people hear bash, hate, mock and talk trash about bodybuilders as much as they can.

What a bunch of pussies. Geez man, I had 16 inch arms at 16 years old. This is pathetic.

[honest]

Remove all the brothas and it would be two inches smaller.

[WOOO]

It's data is probably old and flawed though, I remember the same measurements being thrown around in the 50's - 70's for chest and arm size.

average time to run a mile is 12 min

too bad there's no info on the average bench

LOL, pathetic!  What's even worse is that it's a chubby 12.6" arm to boot! 
I've always heard the average bench was 145 for a single.  I had a couple guys I play Basketball with (who don't workout)  want to bench with me one day and neither could do it.  Pitiful!

The info is dated though, the average American male is now 5' 9" #195, with a 39 inch waist according to the CDC.  .

[a_ahmed]

lol at average number of pull ups. That's hilarious.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

The influx of Asians into America for sure have something to do with some of these stats

[funk51]

  i tried to do the alex aronis thing but failed at 18 years of age could only manage a puny 17 and a quarter inches.alex failed at 20.

[Archer77]

Kind of the opposite of getbig where every one has 20" arms and a 12.6" cock. We are the genetic elite.

[buffbong]

 This study should make everyone who trains smile. Considering our forearms are bigger than the average american males arms flexed. Can't believe the average amount of pull ups is one.
