Follow Big A’s Syntherol protocol and you can have 20” arms at 6’5” 200Lbs.

I will say 20 inch arms on a 6'5 guy is not going to look very impressive.

I'm 6'2 220ish <15% with about 19 inch arms pumped and I feel like they look small as fuck.May be in my head though.

Anyone know how big Aaron Reeds arms are? He's 6'7 and lean.

Good point. 20 inches would not look nearly as impressive as they would on someone 5 or 6 inches shorter. Probably need over 20 inches at that height.

Granted being short has it's advantages though...everything looks bigger!

You mean your foot size?

As a side note . . . it is ‘easier’ for a tall person to have large
arms than a smaller person. Just a fact of life.

I'm 6'4 and have looked into this a little bit.
I've always read that a shorter person has it easier.

Well, its the illusion of having smaller arms when you are tall because your frame is so darn big. 20 inch arms on a guy that is 6 foot 4 might only look like they are 17 inches.

One thing tough too about being tall is that in the end I think your leverage might be worse on a lot of lifts because of the longer resistance arm on the lever. Hard to tell on that though since the lever arm is longer too. One thing for certain though, its not good in powerlifting because you have to do more work to complete the lift (move the weight a longer distance). Short guys if they take a really wide stance in deadlift doing a sumo might barely have to move the bar.

I don't know about size, but for strength, yeah sure, they have better leverages.

Would you give up a bunch of your height to be shorter so that you can be thicker?

Tall guys can do well with deadlifts if their arms are long - the longer your arms, the less distance the bar travels off the floor.

Nope. No way.

Tall guys can find a way just look at Gabe Moen.

bullying is a state of mind.....

its a made up tactic for just overall weak and feable people
to justify themselves to the world....

see....its the only way they can fit into this "dog eat dog" world...

so the word in itself is a crutch for THESE people to be somebody....

True. that can make up for the height unless you are like me and have short arms. That helps in the bench though.

That's my problem for sure. Strength wise my tri's are much stronger thou. So I make sure I hit them well. Bi's...I dunno...
