Two points of order, here....

1) I don't squat twice my own bodyweight - although I'm not far at 107Kgs - 170Kgs (3x6), BUT I have 17.5" arms;

2) No explanation is ever given as to WHY big thighs/back = big arms. It never has a biological analysis, just some airy, unscientific, amateur stuff like, "Oh, you need a big tree trunk for big tree branches" - well, thanks, my "esteemed colleagues", but this concerns us bodybuilders, and we deserve something a tad more specialist than all this 'common sense' stuff.

How do the Bicep-Boys get huge arms? How come my cousins husband is barely 160Ibs, never touched a barbell, yet has gigantic calves from doing repeated raises at his desk?

brawn just gives you the basics-beyond brawn contains everything
btw kaiser your arms are 17.5" but your body fat is high so they would be way less at your optimum 15%-my arms are a pathetic 14 and a 1/4",but no fat to pinch whatsoever.

Alright mate, thanks for calling me a fat bastard.

Just kidding LOL, I AM a fat sod! But anyway, I just did the 'pinch' test - I can get in inch unflexed, and next to nothing flexed. Make of that what you will!

Well, it cracks me up guys that dont work legs.
Doing squats and dead lifts do in fact raise blood level test levels.
This is a fact.
Can that influence arm size?..........Sure why not for the natural athlete.

I noticed something else too.
I started doing dead lifts about 4 months ago.
After starting these all my lifts started to go up.
Why?
Cant say for sure but I suppose it has to do with CNS or something associated with that or raised blood test levels.

So there might be something to do with it or not.
Just my two cents worth.

i still say its flawed, you look at the best 3 looking ppl on here, jimmy, pscarb and cookie and they all isolate their arms,
the article should say squats and deads will take your arms to a level unatainable by just isolation work alone, but to just say you'll get big arms by squatting? nah

Im not taking anything away from squats but imo they are not the be and end all of bodybuilding - and to say you cant build a descent phisique without them is b*llocks, plain and simple. I dont squat but I have 18in arms 19.5in neck, 26in thighs, and 49in chest, and descent calfs. Agreed not massive but certainly not bad. Just winds me up when you read things that say if you dont squat you may as well forget about bodybuilding - my ar*se imo.

brawn and beyond brawn may be more suitable for us ectomorphs-endomorphs tend to have a big torso and legs to start with-squats have made THE difference to me gaining weight-true we`re all different tho-however if youve plateaued and stuck using the same weights week in week out get squatting and start training less frequently and adding 5lb`s to the bar each time-i only train once every 4 days and havent plateaued in 10 months still adding weight to the bar and myself-125kg`s by 20 reps-which isnt massive but then neither am i-i`m hoping for 145kgx20 after this training cycle!with a bit of luck 5lb`s of weight on my bod as well(and yes i started with a bare bar due to back probs)(and obviously my gains will slow down as i get closer to my natural genetic limit)
