Do you think 1/2" acceptable gain?

[UGAthlete]

My arms have grown about 1/2" in 3 months.. all natural and going for a lean bulk - as in same, if not reduced, bodyfat.

I'm not talking 20-20.5" either.. more like 16 - 16.5".

Well at that rate in one year they will be 2" bigger...so i would say it is more then acceptable...and your natural.

i hope this is a joke. id be happy with 1/4" gain a year even 1/8.

Yeah, thats a good gain. Even if you are small now and just starting out that is a good gain in my book, especially if youre natural. Keep up the good work.

That is a lot. I'm curious as to how old you are.

Keep in mind too that 1/2 inch on a smaller sized arm like yours is percentage wise much more growth than if it were 1/2 inch on a 20 inch arm.

 

[UGAthlete]

Wow I figured that wouldn't be so great just because, like I said, my arms aren't big now.. The reason I mentioned the largersize vs mine - I figure it is more difficult to put on size as you grow, so 1/2 in is easier to put on if your starting out a a lower point.. Make sense?

I'm mid 20s.. Arms have never been a strong point for me, they're just an easy place to measure and happened to this morning. Def not just starting out in terms of lifting.. Strictly body building, yes but been lifting hard/solid for about 10-11 years now.. Mostly for sports performance though.., and my arms have been around 18 before but that was a few years and seasons (= rollercoaster of weeight gain and loss) ago and i've done a pretty good job of ignoring them since they never seem to respond very well.

I hope that clears some of the questions/reactions up.. I thought I'd be on the slow side but it turns out I'm not and that's great to know!

 

[MikeRoss]

Yeah that's pretty solid. Good luck
