    are people serious when they ask this question? wouldnt it be common sense to flex when you measure?

    see that's the thing. Different people's arms change different amounts when they flex. I also hear mixed responses from people. I personally measure unflexed. My measurement goes up about 2.25 inches when I flex. Other people's may only go up one inch or less.

    just cant bring myself to do it man. Unless I can keep my weight the same but drop the body fat somehow which I dont know if its even possible to cut body fat without losing actual mass and weight. If I lose any weight I'd screw myself for football next year.
