Thanks Alin

Hi, I'm new, but I wanted to say congratulations. You're definitely not small, especially at 205 for your height. The average guy has about 14" arms so you're doing extremely well. I remember when I finally reached 17" myself, and it took me far longer than 3 years to reach that size. Here's to working towards 18"!

bro,
get the scissors, and cut off all your sleeves, you are officialy big!!! from the pic you posted im not sure why you wouldnt wear a sleevless around. just make sure the shirts fit right. try some of the jordan tank tops, save the string tanks for the gym.
just my 2 cents......
your doin great keep it up.

Since you already had the wheels, were you walking around with SHORTS all the time???

Congrats! And yes, you're entitled.

engbulldog · Dec 6, 2007

thanks guys but the legs suck since my acl repair my left leg looks like a truck hit it and as far as shorts my calfs look ok but I want COWS !!!!

oldfella · Dec 6, 2007

Hey man, i remember when i got 17". i was over the moon and was proud of those babies. Good work there. persistance pays off in the long run. I remember your pics from a year or so ago. Your a solid guy! so 17 as tom said is a great acomplishment. it is always rewarding to achieve goals in this game. Now keep up the good work!!

luckyone · Dec 6, 2007

Way to go bro, the average guy would kill for 17" guns. And in only 3 years!! It took me a heck of alot longer, but after 40 years (yep that's right) I finally got to 19. So don't stop now, the sky's the limit.

your brother in Christ,

Lucky
