to answer your question - NO (when we are talking about 20 inch arm.... we are talking nice shaped jacked arm)we are not talking SEC football offensive of line 330lbs with a 20 inch arm.

I am an arm obsessed gym bro (biceps, abs and qauds define a build if you ask me)

it is hard to get over 20 without supplementation unless you are a genetic freak. maybe arnold wouldnt have hit 20s without the right protocol? we dont know.

plus going from 18-20 is the final frontier too. going from 14 inches to 16 inches is simple. 16 inches to 18 inches is simple

but 18-20 inches.. its another level of difficulty. you just need to get overall bigger to get there. i would estimate you will need to add 30lbs-35lbs of total bodyweight to hit 20 inch arms.

 I had to get up to 240lbs to hit the 20 inch arm mark.  

also learn how to pose. flexing is another way to add size to your arms. pose a like a fucking boss too.

good luck

I’m no bodybuilder and don’t do any juice anymore last time was 13-14 years ago.training arms is an obsession of mine I am 6’1.5” 238 this morning and left arm is 21.25” not ripped but bicep vein is visible and so is horseshoe.Heavy ass hammers and barbell curls,heavy narrow grips and dips.Also try doing arms 1,2,3 times a week then train them every day for a while then once every 10 days also try which taco highly recommends the feeders as I believe they work just my joints couldn’t handle it.I eat what I want most the time and don’t care to be ripped or have a 6 pack just like big arms with a visible bi vein and horseshoe,obviously if I got really lean I would lose size but I have no plans to do so.My arms were 20” before starting any juice at 21 and went to 22 cold at 250-260 and since no juice for a long time they fluctuate between 20.5”-21.5” depending on weight 225-245.

My current arm routine which I think is the best arm routine is

Superset 3 rope pressdowns with 3 seated 2 arm straight up dumbbell curls.50s,60s,70s
Superset 3 dips with 2 arm dumbbell incline curls straight up.40s,50s,60s
Superset 3 skulls with 2 arm dumbbell spider curls supinating.40s,45s,50s
4 sets of seated hammers 70,80,90,100s
4 sets of ngb 225,275,315,315. These weights were used at most recent arm workout sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter.



I take every set to failure.reps between 3-100.

I take a scoop of beer root powder an hour before and the pump is retarded usually pump to 22-22.25”.
40 years old and love training arms.
Just my .02

I imagine a ripped 20” arm will take some juice or extreme genetics.Unless competing fuck drugs.

I Was able to make it to 17 inches after a good cycle, and know back to 14, total natty for years. Only Natty, by the way, cause I dont wanna pay 300 bucks to a clinic, and dont know anyone with real Test, here in Fla . So, you gotta be a freak to reach 20, but of course its possible

You don't need 20 inch arms to look good.

16-17 inch arms that are defined look really good.

20 inch arms would look ridiculous if they are not proportional to the rest of your body.

I imagine a ripped 20” arm will take some juice or extreme genetics.Unless competing fuck drugs.

I used to train biceps with chest, and triceps after back or shoulders.  My tri's were good, but biceps were stubborn.  Then I read an article in MM2K, I think it was by T.C. or that strength coach that used to write for the mag.  I was an arm blitz routine for a month where you did one exercise of bi's and one for tri's three times a week.  My arms responded great to it, and it made me shift from a 4 day split to a 5 day with arms having their own day.  

I found that super-setting like you do works best for me, but I do deviate a little bit in that I do the last portion as supersets of the the same bodypart.  Here's an example copied and pasted from day 3 of week 7 from my new program which starts tomorrow.  

*Barbell Curls
s.s. w/ Pushdowns

*Incline Dumbbell Curls
s.s. w/ Skull Crushers

*Close Grip Bench
s.s. w/ Overhead Rope Exts.

*Machine Preacher Curls
s.s. w/ Hammer Dbell Curls


Reverse Wrist Curls

Within each 12 weeks I try to find 2 weeks to rearrange my split back to a 4 days while doing the 3 day arm blitz for a week again...ideally around weeks 3 or 4, and 8 or 9.  Just depends on if things are scheduled that make it impossible to do.

So you superset tris with tris and bis with bis at the end?Hows that work out for you?


Yeah I do day 1 bis,tris,abs and calves.Day 2 chest abs calves,day 3 back abs calves day 4 shoulders,traps and light upper legs.

Forearms I do a separate day for 20 minutes stand up cable wrist curls on the pull down station superset with barbel wrist curls for 6 rounds then reverse wrist curls barbell to dumbbells for 6 rounds and the pump is almost unbearable.Try doing wrist curls on the lat pull down station or any high pulley like you are riding a bike with ape hangers these feel amazing.

20 inch arms would look ridiculous if they are not proportional to the rest of your body.

20" is pretty much impossible for someone my height.  I think the biggest I've ever measured at was 17.5 cold when I was 203 and 11-12% depending on who measured me.  I'm heading into my 4th month of being back in the gym, and haven't curled a dumbbell over 30's yet, and I'm at 15.75 right now at a chubby 191.1 this morning.  No bicep vein unless training, but horseshoe is there and forearms are starting to show......I'll have a better idea where I'm at when I pull a Mike Mentzer with the clippers in a couple of days.  LOL!  

I'm a furry little creature...

Goal is to get to 180-185 @ 12% with 16.5 arms in 12 weeks which would match my calves currently.  We'll see what happens.  Matching my calves will never happen as once I start squatting heavy they'll grow past where I'm at now.  I haven't had direct calf training planned in my routine for ages.  People ask what I do for calves, and I just tell them "I squat heavy for reps, and put my snacks on the top shelves"  ;)  I'm debating on whether to do a journal on here or not. :-\

It works amazing for me bro!  What I found doing it all like you do is that I would peter out by the last superset for both body parts.  My tri's are better than my biceps and they come into play during chest and shoulders, whereas biceps only come into play while doing back.  Going straight into the superset for tri's at the end finishes them off with an insane pump, while giving my biceps a rest for however long it takes me to do that tricep superset.....arms take me about an hour exactly so it's probably 10-15 minutes.  However, the pump in my bi's is still there and they're already warmed up so it allows me to finish out biceps with heavier weight/more reps than I could use when I used to do it like you do.  Try it sometime, and let me know what you think.  If you feel your tri's are your strong point like me than do it how I laid it out.  If your bi's are your strong point, just change the order of the last two supersets so that you finish with the tricep one.

Just curious on the forearm stuff you do....do you deadlift and do barbell/t-bar rows, and/or are forearms a weak point for you?  That's a lot of shit for forearms IMO.  Honestly, even though that's in my program, I rarely end up doing them.  The different variations of curls I do to hit brachs seems to be enough usually.   I do plan to change that during this next 12 weeks though, as everything except my calves needs to change big time :'(, and coming back from my biceps tear I'm VERY apprehensive about all things back related, especially deads.

thank you all for the quality feedbacks.

I do agree that arm size depends on height and body structure, and better defined arms create better illusions even with moderate size.

Im 5'8 and about 200, obviously not lean enough to have better definition of my arm, which you can see of my pic.

so i guess it would be useless to chase 20" arm without chemicals help.


btw, i love supersetting bis and tris. it really works for me.

im at 18 now, anyone having 20" arm could share some lessons?

Of course it is possible, but how anyone could help, if they don't know what and how you have training them at the first place? I can give you some rule of thumb's which I have followed and get closer to my own goals:

Less is more, and it gives better gains. WTF? 3-4 exercises, 12 sets, no more for that muscle group for 48 hours. Never think what is possible or not, just do it and look what happen. If you warm up your muscles, keep your body warm, use good techniques and full range of motion, you can't go wrong.

What I have done to get 19"(and growing) arms at the age of 60, is quite simple:
 
Warm-up = 20-30 reps with 20% of max set weight (biceps = barbell curls, triceps = cable push-downs). After this, start with the max set weight, which allows you to do at least 10 reps before failure. Next two sets same, but slightly less weights. I usually start with one hand concentration curls x 3 sets. After that barbell curls etc. but this time adding more weight per set, every set to failure, and end with Scott curls with same principle. For triceps same, start with the hardest set and max weight etc. and continue to other exercises. For me it would be machine dips(Hoist seated dip) with full range of motion, cable push-downs & and triceps push-downs with rope. Point is that in the first exercise your goal is start with the hardest load you have used, but do more reps than you did last time, and if you are capable to do more that 12 reps, add some weight for next time. Always full range of motion and good posture, no cheats etc. crap. You have to train so hard that you can't do these sets more than once a week, and you have to get at least 48 hours to pure recovery, so I do Chest + triceps + biceps on Monday, legs on Wednesday, and back + shoulders on Friday. Abs + lower back before every session. If you upper arms hurt like hell when you try to hold barbell to get decent squat on Wednesday, you have done it right   ;D

Problem with this is obvious: it seem to be too easy to be real, and that's why just about no one care to try. That is why they think it's can't be done, and cry about it in these forums..

Of course it is possible, but how anyone could help, if they don't know what and how you have training them at the first place? I can give you some rule of thumb's which I have followed and get closer to my own goals:

Less is more, and it gives better gains. WTF? 3-4 exercises, 12 sets, no more for that muscle group for 48 hours. Never think what is possible or not, just do it and look what happen. If you warm up your muscles, keep your body warm, use good techniques and full range of motion, you can't go wrong.

What I have done to get 19"(and growing) arms at the age of 60, is quite simple:
 
Warm-up = 20-30 reps with 20% of max set weight (biceps = barbell curls, triceps = cable push-downs). After this, start with the max set weight, which allows you to do at least 10 reps before failure. Next two sets same, but slightly less weights. I usually start with one hand concentration curls x 3 sets. After that barbell curls etc. but this time adding more weight per set, every set to failure, and end with Scott curls with same principle. For triceps same, start with the hardest set and max weight etc. and continue to other exercises. For me it would be machine dips(Hoist seated dip) with full range of motion, cable push-downs & and triceps push-downs with rope. Point is that in the first exercise your goal is start with the hardest load you have used, but do more reps than you did last time, and if you are capable to do more that 12 reps, add some weight for next time. Always full range of motion and good posture, no cheats etc. crap. You have to train so hard that you can't do these sets more than once a week, and you have to get at least 48 hours to pure recovery, so I do Chest + triceps + biceps on Monday, legs on Wednesday, and back + shoulders on Friday. Abs + lower back before every session. If you upper arms hurt like hell when you try to hold barbell to get decent squat on Wednesday, you have done it right   ;D

Problem with this is obvious: it seem to be too easy to be real, and that's why just about no one care to try. That is why they think it's can't be done, and cry about it in these forums..

solid advice!  I will give your training regime a shot.

do you superset your bis and tris or one after the other?

solid advice!  I will give your training regime a shot.

do you superset your bis and tris or one after the other?

As I say, I do chest (good warm-up & pre-exhaustion for triceps) then triceps and biceps. I do supersets per muscle only, like push-downs & overhead extensions with rope for triceps. I start near to max weight at the first part of the superset, so the last part is just for squeezing last drops of the energy from the muscle. If I feel I need a tighter pump for the biceps, I add set or two of standing high pulley cable curls or overhead cable curls behind the head. Moderate weight, like 70% of max, slow 10-15 reps = insane pump  ;D

im at 18 now, anyone having 20" arm could share some lessons?

I did , I went to 19 inches naturally and only on arm day doing skull crutchers with 135 lbs my arms will add 1/2 inches pumped ....(not lean) but very muscular at age 25,  I started at age 15 so it took me 10 years to get there of heavy ass training .... (it costed me bursitis /tennis elbow though .


Note; I reached my full potential at age 19 (205 lbs)  after 10 years of training ; age 29 I was at same weight 205 contest shape ... (that's natural BB)   :-(


but when I was at my heaviest 242 I had huge arms but not veins and not abs visible whatsoever .

Don't expect to have vascular ripped arms natural  beyond 17 inches . let alone 19 or 20s


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHH   TA NA KA

thank you all for the quality feedbacks.

I do agree that arm size depends on height and body structure, and better defined arms create better illusions even with moderate size.

Im 5'9 and about 205, obviously not lean enough to have better definition of my arm, which you can see of my pic.

so i guess it would be useless to chase 20" arm without chemicals help.


btw, i love supersetting bis and tris. it really works for me.

Hard to find a true 20" muscular arm at a body weight under 230lbs.  Most guys with a 20" inch measurement have a fatty arm like a grandma with 22" arms. Again it's very rare for a lean guy to have an arm that big. Mike Mentzer had close to an 19" arm contest time with a true measurement.  Now with the incredible bloated physiques of today I'm sure many have insane measurements.

I got to 19 at 6'3 lean, and probably freaks out there that can get to 20 naturally. Triceps mass is key, as it makes up for the bigger part of the upper arm.

I’m no bodybuilder and don’t do any juice anymore last time was 13-14 years ago.training arms is an obsession of mine I am 6’1.5” 238 this morning and left arm is 21.25” not ripped but bicep vein is visible and so is horseshoe.Heavy ass hammers and barbell curls,heavy narrow grips and dips.Also try doing arms 1,2,3 times a week then train them every day for a while then once every 10 days also try which taco highly recommends the feeders as I believe they work just my joints couldn’t handle it.I eat what I want most the time and don’t care to be ripped or have a 6 pack just like big arms with a visible bi vein and horseshoe,obviously if I got really lean I would lose size but I have no plans to do so.My arms were 20” before starting any juice at 21 and went to 22 cold at 250-260 and since no juice for a long time they fluctuate between 20.5”-21.5” depending on weight 225-245.

My current arm routine which I think is the best arm routine is

Superset 3 rope pressdowns with 3 seated 2 arm straight up dumbbell curls.50s,60s,70s
Superset 3 dips with 2 arm dumbbell incline curls straight up.40s,50s,60s
Superset 3 skulls with 2 arm dumbbell spider curls supinating.40s,45s,50s
4 sets of seated hammers 70,80,90,100s
4 sets of ngb 225,275,315,315. These weights were used at most recent arm workout sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter.



I take every set to failure.reps between 3-100.

I take a scoop of beer root powder an hour before and the pump is retarded usually pump to 22-22.25”.
40 years old and love training arms.
Just my .02

I imagine a ripped 20” arm will take some juice or extreme genetics.Unless competing fuck drugs.

plus being 5'9 at 230 easy to look big

All depends if they are lean.  A truly lean 18" arm is a rare thing for a guy not using drugs.  How many fat grandmas have 20" arms? I will answer; far too many.  Again a guy with an 18" smooth arm on a lifter looks impressive but it's no where near a ripped 18" arm. Mentzer said with no pump weighing about 210 ripped and his arm was 18 5/8".  All these guys showing pictures of their 18" arm don't look anything remotely like Mentzer's arm.  An arm measurement is also a matter of bodyweight and structure. A guy that weighs 240-250 will easily have a 20" arm if they train but that's not saying it will be impressive.

The answer: Probably (IF you have elite genetics). But modern natural supplementation is a must.

Creatine monohydrate, Nitric Oxide, BCAA's, Test Booster, Ecdysterone

High protein diet, obviously

Pyramid sets, lots of compound chest and back

Concentration Curls (Arnold Style) for the peak

I took my arms to 19". Probably could take them to 20" but I don't care to blur my six pack, obliques, serrati

Creatine monohydrate, Nitric Oxide, BCAA's, Test Booster, Ecdysterone

High protein diet, obviously

Pyramid sets, lots of compound chest and back
