It is a more reasonable number to obtain without the use of steroids.

I meant forearm. The measurement on Arnold's was pretty small for
such a big guy.

Well I am not expecting to ever look like Arnold.

While where on the subject. Why do my arms look so much bigger in the
gym bathroom mirrors? Do they use those special trick mirrors to make
the guys look bigger then they are? I never look quite the same at
home.

I caught the end of Conan tonight. I think from watching that my
back is my weakest link. Mine is just starting to catch up with my
front. Arnold's back just sort of overflows around his body. It
really makes the whole torso show up as muscle.

A nineteen-inch arm is frigging UNreasonable. ;o)

Oh.

I guess it's all relative. As I can barely muster a flexed 11 3/4"
forearm, Schwarzenegger's 14-inch measurement impresses juuuuust a bit.

I guess I've resigned myself to never looking like a 1975 Arnold,
however when he hits 70 then I _might_ challenge him to a posedown!

Wouldn't that suck? Being crushed on stage by a 70-year-old man.

Uh, fluorescent lights versus incandescent?

Probably not.

How about the fact that you may have a pump from working out and by the
time you get home that pump has receded or faded?

Hmmm. Check the gym mirrors next time, too. My bet is that they were
manufactured by PLACEBO=AE Glass & Mirror Inc.=20

Wow, I was just thinking the same thing at my gym last week except they have
mirrors all around the free weights area. I reckon they do too.

Yeah and everyone else lies about their height, age, penis size, and

I ejaculate into a condom.

I bring it to the kitchen, and put it in one of those marked glasses, filled
half with water.
The water level rises to the next mark, about 20cc.

Once every 2 weeks, i invite my girlfriends girlfriends, and make pancakes.

They LOOOOOOVE my pancakes.
But then again, i never told them my secret ingredient...
