steelmass said:Your quads should be bigger if you have an 18 1/2" arm cold... but hey bro just plug away at it - keep squattin and deadlifting like a monster and they'll come
C3bodybuilding said:Are you asking because that's your leg size? If so let me tell you that a 25inch thigh on a 5'6 frame is nothing to sneeze at. If you were 6', I could see a cause for concern.
mlong23 said:Are you mixing it up with front squats, lunges and hack squats?
mlmdpump said:I have roughly the same dimensions as you, except I'm 5'7". My quads didn't come out nice until I added single leg Smith Machine squats and stiff leg deadlifts on top of everything else. I also did a 6 month stretch where I trained legs twice a week. Mine are at 32" now and I have genetically thin legs. Give it a shot.![]()
musclehealth said:@ 21 arnolds arms were over 20" so...you do the math.
shape said:??? whats the math on arnolds arms when were talking about quad size--am i missing something?
musclehealth said:Put it this way...ur legs ahouls be alor larger then ur arms. Ur bi's ahouls be about the same as the calves. Get it?
shape said:ok my bis are 18.5 my quads are 25 1/4 my calves are lagging at a little over 16 1/2
You hit the nail on the head, it's all about the sweep. My quads are only about 25" on-stage, but my sweep makes them look huge.jacshelb said:Arnold talked about his thighs being 28" at their best. He, of course, wasn't known for great thighs, but they did look decent in 73-74 or so. And, he was just over 6'. It's all about the shape. I've got a buddy who is 6'1" or so and has 26" thighs that look great. He's not a huge guy, 220 or so, but he has complete development down to the knee and good sweep. That makes a big difference. Anyhow, my thighs are 26" and look like shit- I'm 6'2" and they are a major weakpoint for me, thighs and back thickness are what I'm working hard on. Good luck!

Good luck with the wheels of steel.
