Title: Why do people lie about their arm size?
Post by: pellius on September 18, 2011, 02:25:45 AM
I was just scrolling through past threads and came across the one with Van Damme and his arm size. This comes up all the time. People making such and such claim. I really, really don't understand why people would lie about their arm size or any of their stats (height, weight, bodyfat %). I mean, you can claim any measurement you want, any weight you want, any body fat %, but it's still not going to change what's in front of your eyes.

I can make any claims that I want on how big my arms are. They are not going to change what people actually see. The last time I measured my arms they were a bit under 15.5 inches. I'm a bit heavier now so I just measured them and they now stretch the tape at just over 15.5 inches. Van Damme is suppose to be 17 inches. I will never see 17 inches in my life time.

I know what you are saying.  I have 16.5 inch arms and people have said that they look big.  Then you hear people all the time saying mine are 17,18, 19 pumped and shit.  There is no fucking way that many people in the population have those measurements.  Same with the Question "Whats your bench"?  Everybody adds 50lbs or more to the real answer.  I don't get it either Pellius.

Put it this way, a 17inch lean arm looks very big on an ecto. What you are getting is big boned permabulkers talking about arm size, its night and day. And most people lie about things constantly. I know from my own measurements, waist, arms et cetera, that most on these boards just make up numbers as they go along. Size is the refuge of guys with no muscle quality, TbombZ is a good example imao, look how much better Bobs looks now he has cut down, or Leafy who people would call a twink at 185lb or so. Pellius your arms look great, quality muscle and shape, measurements are not important, its the visual.

As long as there are people who are impressed by, or otherwise pay attention to, those claims there will be guys who lie about them.  How big are his arms?  To quote another getbigger.

I overheard this high-functioning retard at the gym the other day talking to his "training partner" that his girlfriend measured his arms at 20.5".  The guy is like 5'6" and maybe 190 lbs.

People speak such shit.  I had an ex who tried to tell me his arms were a certain size and so I got out a tape measure and measured them.  They were 4 inches less than what he boasted.  I think he lied about his penis size also.   ::)  Once a liar, always a liar.

I knew this one guy and he would lie about his height.  Most men add height, but this guy would actually try to make out that he was shorter than what he was.  He was so fucked up.   :-\  He was in actual fact 6'1 and he would lie to my face that he was 5'9.  I think he wanted to make out that he was carrying more size on his frame than what he actually was.  That's the only reason why I could think of that he would lie and make himself shorter.

The reason most people lie about numbers is because nobody actually cares about the numbers, for most people the number is just part of the story. People are not machines and they don't think in numbers. Only on getbig do a bunch of grown men spend hours obsessing over obscure numbers that don't mean anything.

Yes I have two children from my late partner.  I began going to the gym about 3 months before I turned 18.  Short story, fell in love with resistance weight training...saw a picture of Cory Everyson and was blown away.  Women could be muscular and feminine and sexy.  Met my partner in the gym when I was 20.  Continued to train for the next five years and then got pregnant with my first child.  Had my second child 2.5 years later.  I kind of lost myself then as I was focused on being a mother and partner...taking care of them first.  Then when he passed away when I was 30, I threw myself into my training.  It kept me from sinking into depression and was my therapy.  I set my sights on a comp and went for it, 18 months later...won my division.  I'll stop there...haha

My arms now tip the scales at 17 inches. I started with 12 inch arms and its taken almost 10 years of training to get that size.
So 5 inches of growth, in 10 years. I know i will never see another centimeter on my arms since i could be leaner.

Never say you can't because then you have already failed.  Although I do know what you are saying here.  But always strive for it regardless.

Cold and pumped measurements can change a lot too. Around 2 months ago I had mine measured in the gym and got a 49.7 cm (below 20 inches) measurement, then same guy measured again 30 minutes after I started training bis and tris, got some mad pumps and got a 52 cm reading (above 21 inches I think). It was crazy.

Those others cannot really be immediately confirmed. When someone tells you he's sitting at 6 % and you notice a double chin.... well.... A security guard at the mall a few weeks ago told me he was 6'5". Well, I'm about just under 6'2" and that guy was pretty much the same height as me. Even when we had someone compare us back to back and confirm we were about the same height  he still insisted on 6'5". And we weren't wearing shoes.

I know what you are saying.  I have 16.5 inch arms and people have said that they look big.  Then you hear people all the time saying mine are 17,18, 19 pumped and shit.  There is no fucking way that many people in the population have those measurements.  Same with the Question "Whats your bench"?  Everybody adds 50lbs or more to the real answer.  I don't get it either Pellius.

Well mine are currently a hair over 17" and I am excited. They are really slow growers. I have literally lifted for decades and I think my arms are bigger at this point then they have ever been. Of course, I am probably carrying around 12% body fat which is too much to look cut. What I hate is how hard it is to get a good bicep peak. Triceps are much easier for me to develop.

Have you ever wondered how folks with 18", 19" etc. arms ever find shirts that fit? I wear an extra large and my shirts are tight in the arms. My neck is 18".  It looks much bigger than my arms....go figure?

I think we are about the same age. Post those guns. BTW, Levrone and Wolf don't have a peak either.

People can tell what they want - a huge arm is something you don't see often.

i agree most xl shirts and a lot of  xxl shirts wont even have room for a 19inch arm. A ripped 17inch arm is impressive and bigger is great

Guess what? I measured my arms again last night and they were only 16 3/4". I have no idea where that extra 1/4" went....I am so disappointed. The good news is that tomorrow is arm day at the gym. I'm gonna blast them. If they are anywhere near 17" I may take a photo and post it for posterity.

I measure my quads today. Something I haven't done for years. Not since my early twenties when I was more hard core. They were a bit over 25 inches then. They are now 23 inches and calves at just a bit over 16 inches. I don't have a full length mirror (thank god) so I just took a couple of shots from my vantage point. Me looking down at them. My only saving grace is that I'm pretty veiny so they look in good shape. Runny the sand hill at Sand Dune park pumps it to the point of pain. Soft sand, steep incline -- takes it's toll. Ask Coach about that hill. That's one of the things I miss living in So Ca.

First one is relaxed and the other two I'm trying to flex.
