How the hell do you get an extra 2in from flexing? I only get about an inch.

the correct way to measure your arms is resting with your arms at your sides [not flexed]. so you have 13in arms.

Only if you need an ego boost
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens.

If you read the guidelines here for measuring body parts, they all call for unflexed measurements, because unflexed is your body's normal state--you don't walk around all the time with your arms flexed.

The correct way to do so for say a personal trainers fitness exam is to measure unflexed. For bodybuilding purposes and your personal records - measure them flexed if you wish.Originally Posted by carsonlifter

Also been wondering how to measure properly.
When people state stats on here, do they mean relaxed or flexed? I hate my 14 inchers
I like thinking I have 16 inch arms sometimes.
Updated 12.06.2011
stats:
5'8 178lbs
275x2 Bench
400x5 Smith machine squat
500x4 Deadlift
Is regret only a word that the living possess?

It doesn't matter how big they are. It matters how big they look.
But in all srs, you're supposed to measure eveything unflexed and relaxed.
