31cm, I expect to be out-gunned by Magpie. But it doesn't matter, I'm just here to make you boys feel better about yourselves.

 
32cm 

bingo wings

[magpie]

Shieet I was only joking about the likelihood of being out-gunned. My ego's really on the floor now
Long sleeved shirts only for me from now on.

I'm not happy about it either, I'm worried it might be less mucsle and more bingo wing  


Edit:  Webbo!!  I'm allowed to say it, you're not 

[Jaspersharpe]

I work with a bird who could "out gun" everyone on here. Her upper arms must be way more than 40cm in circumference however I'd guess that they are 10% muscle 90% lard. There should be a proviso on this contest that the arm can actually tense fully!

I have no accurate measuring facilities here. Will try to get a measusement of my puny bicep later and hope to beat magpie.

[Nibile]

let us know your other measures and then we'll tell you if you're proportioned or not...
the good old 90 60 90 will do for me.

[lizzy]

28 cm, I lose. Magpie I bow to you.

[Cookie]

27cm bicep, 14cm wrist.

I'm not very manly 

[neil h]

sorry guys,

bicep 42
wrist 20,
forearm 35 





oh and i have been sat on my fat arse all day, god knows how big they are after a session

[Duma]

32. I don't think I'd have posted if it were any less. (and I've just got back from the wall)

[unclesomebody]

sorry guys,

bicep 42
wrist 20,
forearm 35 





oh and i have been sat on my fat arse all day, god knows how big they are after a session

my forearms are bigger than that I haven't climbed in 4 weeks. Cry me a fucking river. I think the title is between NeilH and Jim. Where art thou Jim??

[neil h]

i been practising those one armers ready for you return 


come on Jim.............................................................. get your tape measure out, rematch for Swiss 

[Will Hunt]

I'm at 31 
However I weigh in at 60.5 kilos which I reckon is probs pretty lightweight.

I reckon masculinity = mass (kg) / gun circumference (cm) (to 3 significant figures)

This gives me a masculinity standing of 1.95.


I'm packin' 17cm on the wrist and 27 on the forearm.


This has all gone a bit Purple Aki.

[Will Hunt]

Actually, sack that. Travs' way is much better. Measurement of upper arm being from elbow bone to armpit apex I reckon is the easiest measurement.

Therefore:

Put me in my place.

[chicane]

36cm but I'm as weak as a kitten.......need to lay off the pies

[magpie]

28 cm, I lose. Magpie I bow to you.

27cm bicep, 14cm wrist.

I'm not very manly 

Now I am definitely worried it's all bingo wing 

However I weigh in at 60.5 kilos which I reckon is probs pretty lightweight.

Pretty lightweight?  You nearly snapped last time I hugged you 

[Nibile]

Well I propose that we redefine the term BMI to mean Bicep Mass Index, the calculation of said value being :

Circumfrence of bicep ( cm ) / ( Length of upper arm ( cm ) x Weight ( kg ) )

Note the upper arm is measured from point of elbow to bony point on shoulder ( on the same arm obviously ) 

so: BMI and masculinity are two different indexes?
BMI= bicep/length x weight
MASC= bicep/weight

[travs]

Having thought about this a bit more and discussed it with some leading scientists, we have decided to refine the BMI index to incorporate muscle bulk and to bring the value into a more sensible range. As such the new proposed BMI defenition is :

100 x Circumfrence of bicep ( cm )  x  Circumfrence of bicep ( cm ) / ( Length of upper arm ( cm ) x Weight ( kg ) )

I couldn't do a squared sign hence circumfrence multiplied twice

Anybody who gets 100 is the perfect climber

[unclesomebody]

I think you're a few powers of ten out on your calculations, because to get 100 you would need an upper arm length of approx 2000cm assuming mean values for the rest.

[Stubbs]

come on unc - i'm sure you have a tape measure to hand - throw down! I don't have one to hand unfortunately, may have to go shopping tomorrow!

[Percy B]

But surely 20 metre long upper arms would make you the perfect climber - everything would be piss!

[Sloper]

I couldn't find a tape measure but my forearms are about the same as my biceps and this is about the same distance as from the bottom of my knee cap to the top of my ankle.

[Nibile]

more measures here:
wrist 16 cm (no wonder it breaks...)
forearm 33 cm
hair 0.5 cm

[unclesomebody]

Can anyone post whether or not they have forearms larger than their biceps? I'm thinking about who might qualify for this... Perhaps Foley or Jim? But they have large biceps too... Perhaps Fred might post up.

[miki]

bicep : 35 cm
forearm: 30 cm
wrist : 16 cm

not bad, just returned from home and my family all said i´m skinny and that i should eat more spanish food 

[travs]

You need to check your maths Unc, as an example here are my stats and BMI.

Bicep 38 cm
Arm Length 30cm
Weight 64kg

BMI = 100 x 38 x 38 / ( 30 x 64 ) = 75

The above figures are approximate as I need a piece of string or something to measure my bicep and they're not pumped I bet there well over 40 cm in reality

[unclesomebody]

my apologies! You are of course correct. But for a golden ratio of 100 it stands that you're arm length must be very short.

I would change the perfect value to something else... but I leave that in your capable hands.
