The three inch pecs were measured with a caliper when she would do the most muscluar pose by placing the caliper over her pec in front of her underarm to measure its thickness. We decided to use that method to measure progress like using a tape measure on other parts of the body. Another method we tried was having her flex her pecs and placing a ruler over them, pressing it down as far as they would go and measuring from the ruler to the bottom of the cleveage, this too helped us measure progress from chest excercises. Yea 3 inches after a couple of hard workout years, if I remember I was only 2.5 inches myself! She was built like a brick..........you got the picture!
Actually her biceps at 18.5 did not look too big. The measurment sound really large but it did not look too big and was just right. She has dropped down to 16 3/4 now after laying off weights a few years. When she was that large, relaxed she just had good shape, pretty shape. Flexed it looked really good and she could pump out ten reps with 50 lb. dumbells. She could do 55 for 4-5 reps, and they were perfect form! She is 5'2, at that time 165 solid pounds, 16 in neck, 48 chest, 33 waist, 26 thighs and 18.5 calves. She could do 400 lbs on the cybex calve raise machine with ease- chewing and popping gum while smiling! Shoulder pressed 185 for her last set on a work out. And play tennis or water ski all day! She never looked too big and we were just starting to discuss trying some local bodybuilding competitions for fun when we had to move and missed several years of working out. Just now getting started back into it and it is harder than heck! Starting over from scratch is terrible. Have not had to do that since 1980! Plus pushing 50 years and when you think about it, you just want to go eat a big pizza!!! But we are giving it heck and gonna see what happens! She is coming on strong and really starting to take on some old shape. In fact, I need to head to the gym shortly too, so see you guys later.
Gotta make this short...on the fly!!-my biceps were 15+ about 4 to 5 months ago...I have lost a good bit of weight since then and got really busy with the weights,and work has really got them to peak.3" inch pecs?????-ya lost me there.Gotta go!!!-check in tomorrow!.
Hey Biflexer, not sure if I understand or not, you want your arms to max out at 14" relaxed or pumped? In an earlier post on this thread, you mentioned they were 15" pumped. Either way they sure look good on you! As for Vindicator58, man, your wife must look awesome with 18.5" peaks! What do you mean when you say she has 3" pecs? Got any pics of her she'd (and you) care to share?
hey stacey thats a great attitude dont get huge and buff like a bodybuilder- they suck just keep those massive peaks pumped and hard - perfect maybe go for lower bodyfat so you start getting some thick veins across your bis too?? ;D
18.5 inch arms!?!?!?-holy cow!!!!,thats awesome!.I dont want my arms that big,I'm thinkin 14 will be fine LOL.My BF turned me on to muscle's a few years ago and now my fetish is expanding,having a hard time getting past my own "perky peaks" not really interested in anyone else's biceps or muscles.I find myself flexing in our bathroom mirror everyday,I love how my left bicep goes from flat to a baseball.Watching the ball rise just gives me a tingling feeling all over.Your wife's biceps must look awesome,are they big and peaked or just big? When I go out I look at other girls arms to compare to mine-havent seen any close to mine-even unflexed.I dont mean to brag,but if I worked out all the time-my god it would scare me!.If I built my arms more I would have to do the rest of my body and I just dont have the time the rest of my body compliments my biceps pretty close now.
I have found the gym rats to be a little edgy until they get to know you, and that is seeing you often in the gym for maybe months before they warm up. They hate people checking them out and are very verbal about it. When you can kick a lot of guys butts, being mouthy just comes with it. I would like to have been friends with a lot more of them during my 25 years hitting gyms but it is hard to become very close to many. I happend to find a cute one and married her, but I still love looking around!
Man Stacey, you are my type of girl! I have loved armwrestling, wrestling and weightlifting with women since I was in middle school! I developed a huge muscle fetish on girls then and it never went away! I have been a member of some large gyms and met many a women that could compete against me, and some who could beat me and I loved it all! I coached my wife from 15 inch bis to 18.5 in bis and she could dumbell curl 50 lbs and send most guys to the locker rooms! When I was at 19 inches, she was 18.5 and could beat me armwrestling on some days. We were so close that diet and tiredness for the day played into our contests. If I had not eaten right, she could put me down in several minutes of sweaty straining action. Then there were days I could beat her in a couple of minutes. Never new from one day to another what would happen! In middle school, we had a close group of friends that went water skiing all the time. Melisa was a couple of years younger, but very buffed and we competed against each other for several years, comparing muscles, legs, arms chest and abs! We wrestled several times to tap out- or submission wrestling, and it was good competition. She was extremely buffed with great genitics and an athletic background. Another close friend was a total women athlete and we competed against each other the same way and those likes and loves stayed with me from then on. I married a solid 155 lb piece of femuscle and we have lifted weights and competed against each other ever since. I have 30 pounds on her and she always holds her own. The only thing I smoke her in is benchpress, I do 315 and she does 180. Outside of that, all poundage is close and she smokes me in calves. Her legs are tree trunks, her core strength is unbelievable, her shoulders and arms could compete against any male her size or a little larger. She has three inch pecs and her lack of bench is not easily understood, as her pecs are thick solid muscle! I always thought it was mental, for wrestling she is very powerful in the chest. She is an armwrestling fool and very few people have beaten her. She is a very pretty tomboy and I love everything we do. You appear the same and I love your attitude and body.
You have no idea just how perfect you are! I love the shots of you in a tank and sport bra checking out your guns! You have such a great athletic attitude with the perfect look to go with it! I am a huge fan- keep up the good work!
Man, be proud of the fact that you all do have your fair share of some of the best looking hard-bodies in N.A.: M.Coates, S.Bruneau, J.Dejager, to name a few...
I'll be the first to admit i don't like Ms. Obama, but I will give her props on her arms and I have no problem with her showing them, no matter where she is. I'll give her a "you go girl" for that! Kristi
Brucester, you should move to NYC. This way you can root for the New York Yankees. We've also got plenty strong sexy women here who will gladly flex for a few dollars - or a passing grade! (shhh...don't tell the dean)
Brucester!! thanks for the comments on my webshots page,glad you like my biceps and I plan to peak them higher! as soon as I get back to work and begin workin out again..I had my appendix removed so have been layed up for 3 weeks-it's driving me crazy!!,I tried to add you as a friend on webshots but didnt see anything to warrent that can u help??.My boyfreind is not the only one to feel my biceps...I feel them everyday and yes......they are friggin ROCK SOLID!!!,thanks Stac.
Rumors are just that, until backed up with the hard facts. I always Google the web to check rumors out and Googling: "Amy Bates, Georgia Luv, Blondechic, accident, death", brings up the fact that she is NOT dead, but she IS in (some kind of) heaven. ;D
Well, on Michelle Obama's arms, I do find it irritating but I see it as a good thing. True, her arms aren't terribly impressive by our standards but compared to the average woman - and especially the average first lady - they are noteworthy. I hope that at the very least this will cut down on the number of women who are afraid to pick up a weight because they are convinced that one rep with anything more than 5 lbs will make them look "freaky."
I heard a rumor that Blondchic found religion in the form of a televangelist and she has gone inside. If so, I wish her peace, and hope that the televangelist keeps his hands to himself!
Thanks snare, much appreciated. I'm glad to hear Melissa is alive and well and still flexing on Ifriends. She gives Canada a good name! (hahaha) - Hopefully "BlondeChic" is all right too - but these rumours are troubling.
To answer you specifically . . . Melissa still performs regularly at Ifriends. In fact, I saw she was in "Live Chat" with a member on Sunday evening. Amy . . . well just rumors . . . and messageboard internet rumors at that. I do know that she has vanished from Ifriends, where I met her, many many months ago.
What typically happens is that a girl sarts training, gets a lot of attenetion and tries to market it. Unless they win a lot of money at contests or get it from sponsorships they will drop out after a few years. The economics of the situation is that it costs time and money to train like that, if you get no return you have to find other avenues to make a living.
dont get huge and buff like a bodybuilder- they suck
just keep those massive peaks pumped and hard - perfect
maybe go for lower bodyfat so you start getting some thick veins across your bis too?? ;D
