What is your current prioritized goal?
A getting as big and cut as possible
B staying healthy/healthy appearance long term
Just one or the other.
Where do you make polls? Usually vbulletin has this as a button...

To be healthy.My current goal has been in motion for 3 weeks,im trying to get to 215 and have 20" arms at 6'1.5".I started 3 weeks ago when i noticed i had gone up to 237 from the usual 230.I have been doing cardio for an hour every morning and eating very clean and light,since then i am 223 with 20 5/8 arms so i think i can do it.So my goal is a helathy lighter bodyweight with big arms and to wear a 32" jean.

Can we assume that this involves having both your legs amputated?
Perhaps you can talk to MPF Strength and Conditioning

If you can't get 1,000 lbs on the bar I'd suggest some cardio, Cankles.

get as big as possible so I can compete.
going to spend a year or 2 blast/cruising, increasing dose and changing compounds until i feel like i can make an impact once i diet down.
be dead before x, but don't worry I was ready to die a long time ago.

Hahahah,ive always trained arms harder and more often than anything else and still do.My calves are very good legs small but cut,i have a slipped disc and bulging disc as well as bad knees so all i do for legs is leg extensions and leg curls and lots of cardio.But i like the slim leg big arm look and always have.My family has great genetics for arm size so i know i can hold it while dropping down.

Excellent. Hope it goes well.
What are your max lifts & what do you need for the Win.
👍🏻 ;)

Made the mistake of agreeing that I would train with my son to help get him ready for football (weight training, conditioning, speed, routes, etc. This will not end well, I will die. So my goal now is to just stay alive.

I am just wondering about the physics of it. I am 215 @ 6'3" and I have barely 18" arms. My legs are utter, complete shite. I can't imagine my legs being crappier. I would need to lose some serious leg size to get those 2 extra inches on my arms. I already have to endure "paraplegic" comments. "Slim" may not incorporate the look of your legs if you reach your goal.

2 inches on your arms wont even weigh six ounces.

I guess the old yardstick of "10 lbs of muscle for each inch of upper arms" is no longer operable? It was probably a Weider thing. Or something that the "Always Squat" guys thought of.

I understand completely with what you are saying.My upper legs are small and will be tiny but my calves are measuring 18" and are pretty cut up.i used to have a really big chest but ive been downplaying it and i no longer can do shoulders due to shoulder problems so my chest and shoulders are shrinking as well which i dont mind as i like the smaller torso and leg big arm look.anyways i got 8 more lbs to go should be there in 2 weeks and if my arms are 20" and i can were 32" jeans i will be pretty happy at 215.

I having a hard time visualizing this. Small legs, no chest or shoulders and (presumably) back, but 20" muscular arms? It's a look.

Chest is still 51" but it was much thicker i would like it around 48",back is still good,traps are there and shoulders have downsized but still there as i do lots of dips and pull ups which for some reason dont hurt my shoulder.Its a look i like,i dont workout for other people i work out for what i like.

stay below 12% bodyfat for the rest of my life, and a 180kg snatch

Now I am even more confused as my chest is like 48". Are you made of some kind of lightweight aluminum alloy?

jut to stay as lean and healthy as possible i am in my 30's now

This.
I now lift weights that I didn't even bother warming up with in my 20s.
I think I maxed out on Monday with the 50lbs dumbells on chest presses. I used to warm up with the 60s for a million reps. Poundages doesn't even come into the equation any more. I look x3 better now than I ever did in my 20s and that's because I don't bother with stupidly heavy weights anymore. Light-medium, each set till failure and all muscle groups every time I go there. 3 sets only per body part.
I understand guys in their teens and 20s trying to be 'tough' and 'hardcore' in the gym. At that age they don't know any betters and still trying to find their place in the world. When you're in your 30s I should hope these things don't matter anymore.
Well, unless you're short or going bald, then it's hoody on, tattooed from arsehole to head and heavy weights all around trying to compensate. For something.

No, it's still operable. Trust me.

Another aspect is that most want to look their best as you grow older.
A lean and rejuvinated face with alert crispy eyes tend to look better than bloated cheeks with a blemished surface around depraved weary eyes.
The dawning realization that your traps or your legs is not noted nor appreciated by anyone outside your lifting circle of reclusive cave dwellers.
And that you don't tolerate hard living as easily as when you were a spring chicken.

Yep, a lean face is very important. Forgot to add that.

I have some lifts from my twenties that I couldn't do now, but on the other hand am stronger in other exercises now than I was then.
I still want to get stronger, I still want to get bigger. But I do train a whole lot more sensibly now than I ever used to. My goals haven't changed at all, only how I go about achieving them.

240 or bust.

Yea that's probably a better way of describing it. Although I don't really care much for getting strong. I'm already far stronger than the average guy. If it mattered, that would've been enough for me. I still try to get bigger too but priorities are to be healthy, fit and look good. In that order.
It's funny that I should think that way now. 10 years ago, hell even as little as 5 years ago I was throwing around the heaviest weight on the rack. I've always wondered about the day it all changed. I wonder what changed and when it changed.

Mine has been a gradual change over certain areas. Some injuries forced me to reassess training. Sometimes I've had eureka moments watching someone else act like a tool and realised that has on occasion been me. So many factors contribute.

Good squats dude. Squat is the same for me, I'm better at it than I ever was, I've learnt to squat better over time (I'm sure I have shitty body mechanics for it). I live in blighty so getting a tan is a luxury but I'm fully with you on permabulking. I see old photos and just think 'what the fuck was I thinking?'

i just want to be able to squat without feeling like my knees are going to explode
im thinking of doing more calisthenics: one handed pushups, one legged squats, pullups, and the like
i'm reading "convict conditioning" and "solitary fitness" right now... very interesting. if I can actually gain the flexibility and strength to do these moves, i doubt i'll sacrifice much (if any) mass by focusing on them in lieu of weight training.
the older i get, the more i start to suspect taking performance out of the equation and focusing only on looks is unavoidably disastrous. besides, plenty of gymnasts and the like look better than i ever will, AND are strong and healthy to boot.
to put it briefly, my goal is to be healthy... that includes being lean while having muscle mass, strength, flexibility, coordination, and more.

Interesting. I gravitate towards bodyweight exercise being older. Preserving mobitily and flexibility starting to be an issue now.
