    I honestly enjoy it. I love watching some bicep/tricep maniac not being able to press even the measly amount I can muster, much less put up non-retarded squat and deadlift numbers. I had one dude tell me there would be no way I would be able to get my work set of DLs off the floor. Hopefully my rather inexperienced display made him realize that he probably could be using his time better in the gym.

    Because of my arms dudes think I'm incredibly weak. I am quite weak, but these giant-armed dudes are generally more weak than me.
    I'd much rather have the scrawny arms than the scrawny legs and torso. I'm still skinny right now, too, and there is a sense of accomplishment to being more powerful than someone bigger than me.

    5'11 205, arms 13 inches relaxed 14.5ish flexed. Press 157.5x5x3, bench 245x5x3, 17 dead hang pullups. I think arm size has a lot to do with wingspan as well, if you have really long arms like I do they'll never be particularly big unless you're willing to herp-derp around with curls and tricep extensions on top of having a very strong bench/press.
