Here is a simple test you can do that will give
you an idea of how large a muscle can grow
through proper training.

Using your own biceps as an example take a
measuring tape and measure your biceps
length from insertion point to insertion point.

Do this with your biceps stretched out and
not flexed. Let's say for example you find
your biceps are nine inches long.

That means that the width of your biceps
has in theory the potential to be nine inches
wide.

Now picture your biceps nine inches wide.
Your arm would start to look like a thigh
muscle and not a biceps any more.

That is how big a muscle can get.

Obviously no one would want to reach that
point because you would no longer be able
to even flex your arm.

A muscle's full potential for size ends
when it becomes as wide as it is long.

Now picture that same 9-inch long biceps
just five inches wide. Even then it would
be enormous.

Now you have an idea as to how large
your arms can get.

 

 

Keep training hard,
