Finally got 13 inch biceps. 6'1 160 pounds. Opinions?

[Darksol64]

Yeah I know it's really small but I'm getting there. Started at 11" arms and 135 pounds bodyweight. Been working both triceps and biceps hard for about 3 months now while bulking. Yes, I AM working shoulders/back/chest/legs/abs too, just not as much. Once a week for them, twice a week for arms.

Just wanted to get some feedback from all the big guys of the bodybuilding world on here. Am I doing OK with good potential or should I just give up? Do I look up-to-size or smaller? Just curious. If at all possible I'd like to get up to 16". I've probably already obtained my super-quick beginner gains.... Maybe in a year I'll get to 15"?

This is no pump by the way. With a combined bicep tricep pump I can get them up to almost 14"

Unnecessary to do arms twice a week. Your main focus should be the big muscle groups, and arms build themselves while doing that from my experience. I am only 5'7, but went from 13" to 15.25" (you're damn right i'm gonna count the 1/4") in about 8 months. So sure it's possible.

Go hard on everything though is my tip

Read further.. "Should I give up". The obvious reply is never give up

You may want to rethink these 2 statements here man

Looks bigger than 13''...

I'm slowly integrating into a full-body approach as I learn how to work each bodypart. I'm working at home with limited equipment so it's somewhat of a challenge; arms are just the easiest plus who doesn't start out wanting super strong arms?

I should have rephrased my "giving up" what I meant to imply is that I was hoping an expert bodybuilder could quickly glance at the pics and tell me if I have the genetics to get somewhere, or should I just tone it down and not worry about working out much. Good advice though guys.

I was kind of thinking that looking at other pictures that claim they're 13", but I thought I'd post here for some unbiased opinions. I have a small bone structure (5.5 inch wrist) so maybe I just have a greater height/peak, but with a much smaller arm width which kinda sucks. Flexed looks good, but with no bulk non-flexed holding my arm out straight looks like a little girl arm.

While I am by far an "expert" bodybuilder I can tell you that this mindset will get you no where. ANYONE has the potential to build an impressive physique with dedication and hard work. I hate when people use genetics as an excuse. Now if were talking about going pro then thats a different story but come on man put in the work
