being unemployed and injured leads to many ways of passing time.
supreme way is: measuring body parts.
the supreme measure is: that one that cannot be put here.
the second supreme measure is: biceps.
my right bicep, is a miserable (in my expectations) 36 cm. left one 34.
now show me yours.
-
34 cm Nibs, but my bicep is....
My wrist is only 15 though. So if I paint my nails red and sit on my hand etc.. :wank:

Just measured my boys guns
14 Cm. Oh yeah! check out the pipes! 3 years old and ready to rip.

see why you went to bed early every night
this is what me and unc got up to

Biceps 35cm, but that's 35% lager.
-
32cm....
I'm sure that this should be rationalised some how....maybe in a kind of Manliness/Tonne (kg?) ratio... ;D

32cm....
I'm sure that this should be rationalised some how....maybe in a kind of Manliness/Tonne (kg?) ratio... ;D
May I suggest shaving the chest (no sneaky underarm hair to be included) and placing the contents in a standard 12 inch hanky. this could then be weighed (subtracting dry hanky weight) to give a completely accurate measure of Manliness in imperial Tonnes.

26 cm flacid, 35cm pert.
-
38 manly homoerotic inches of pythonesque steel.
My upper arm measurement I am afraid.
-
I meant centimetres. 8)
-
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.

if back and shoulder hair could be included i might on to a winner here.

30.5! ;D I fully expected to be in the twenties. phew!
-
39 cm Flexed
-
please please ladies and gentlemen anyone for 40?
40, ladies and gentlemen, next bid is 40.
-
Where's Jim when you need him?
-
Jim's still looking for a long enough tape measure.
-
He' s probably ramraiding the local athletics club looking for one of these:

I just spoke to Jim and he's driving to/from Chester or something. He was barraging me with information on some measuring device, saying things like "it's Chester's equivalent of CERN and they claim it can measure any bicep every created on planet earth!". I thought he'd gone mad, but thinking about in the light of this thread, it all makes sense!
-

32cm :-\
I don't like the fact mine seem to be as big as half the boys, I've checked my wrists too and they are only 15cm, I feel all out of proportion now :'(
-
Yeah, but it's like you said 'boys' not men. ;)
-
32.5cm! phew lol
-
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 ) ;D
-
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 :-\
Shieet :o 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 too measure 32 but thats left arm which only has half a bicep these days.
-

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 >:(
-
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.
-
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.
-
28 cm, I lose. Magpie :bow: I bow to you.
-
27cm bicep, 14cm wrist.
I'm not very manly :(
-
sorry guys,
bicep 42
wrist 20,
forearm 35
:P
oh and i have been sat on my fat arse all day, god knows how big they are after a session
-
32. I don't think I'd have posted if it were any less. (and I've just got back from the wall)
-

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??
-
i been practising those one armers ready for you return ;)
come on Jim.............................................................. get your tape measure out, rematch for Swiss ;D
-
I'm at 31 :boohoo:
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.
-
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:

36cm but I'm as weak as a kitten.......need to lay off the pies
-
28 cm, I lose. Magpie :bow: I bow to you.
27cm bicep, 14cm wrist.
I'm not very manly :(
Now I am definitely worried it's all bingo wing :lol:

Pretty lightweight? You nearly snapped last time I hugged you :(

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 ) ;D
so: BMI and masculinity are two different indexes?
BMI= bicep/length x weight
MASC= bicep/weight
-
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 ;D
Anybody who gets 100 is the perfect climber
-
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.
-
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!
-
But surely 20 metre long upper arms would make you the perfect climber - everything would be piss!
-
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.
-
more measures here:
wrist 16 cm (no wonder it breaks...)
forearm 33 cm
hair 0.5 cm
-
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.
-
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 :shrug:
-
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 ;)
-
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.
-
Well I don't know, I suspect my real bicep measurement is 42cm and if I could lose 5.2 kg - I would be that mythical climber. Alternatively I could have major surgery and have my upper arms reduced by 2.6cm ;D

we'll have to rely on jim. he's just done rock atrocity.

How have you lot not snapped your hands clean off? I have really scrawny wrists and you are all meant to be big fit men yet you're not measuring much bigger ???
-

BMI of 64.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with this hanky full of hair?
-
Here's mine... and I've been on my arse all day..
Wrist 18
Forearm 38
Bicep 41
(These were flexed mind you... I'm assuming that's the process?)
I'm Popeye
-
Jesus Ben, 41! I beat Lizzy. And Cookie.
-
has Jim not measured his yet.....................
we all wait with anticipation for the big event. ???
-
BMI= 100x352/32x87 = 44
Oh dear :'(

GCW, guess the google search...

Nah, his bicep measurement would be faaar bigger than mine.
-
Here's one for Magpie:

Bicep 35
Forearm 30
Wrist 17
100x35x35/25x64
=122500/1600
=76.5 BMI
-
Remebered I had a tape measure in my site kit.
Bicep 36
Forearm 32
Wrist 19
I reckon with a bit more captains of crush i can get forearm>bicep!
-
Here's one for Magpie:
(http://www.lindabriggs.co.uk/procedures/before.jpg)

I would have at least shaved for the photo >:(
-
yo 37cm biceps, 33cm forearms and 18cm wrist ;D
-
Bicep 34
Forearm 32
Wrist 17
My arms are almost tubular! :o
-
35cm bicep which is distressing as I know Keith's forearms are reputedly greater in circumference than this. I'm putting a bounty out for anyone that can obtain the official Bradbury forearm stats. This is like guess the weight of the Christmas cake at a country fair isn't it?
I reckon he's rocking 39cm forearm with 22cm bicep.
-

For your pleasure...
Biceps: 29cm
Forearms: 31cm
I've got less guns than a stone age pacifist.
-
GO GREG!!! Bigger forearms that biceps, that's great! However, your stats seem very low... how tightly did you pull the string around your spears?
-

I'm afraid my arms are that puny, the tape measure was loosely wrapped. All my power (or lack there of) comes through the extremities. :'(

Bicep 32.5

Only just.
-
wrist = 17cm
forearm = 32cm
bicep = 36cm
-
wrist = 17cm
forearm = 32cm
bicep = 36cm
What! Surely not.
Jim, the bigger ones on the tape are called "inches."
-
wrist = 17cm
forearm = 32cm
bicep = 36cm
Surely this is a joke? C'mon Jim, don't be shy. Tell us the truth.
-
have only just seen this thread and read it. Sorry to dissapoint you all. I think there is a lot of room for error tho. I seem to rememeber mine and neils biceps were very close last time.
On second thoughts, perhaps I was measuring in inches?
-
I've been resisting the measure but its enticed me in
bicep 35
forearms 33
wrist 19
i thought real men measured in inches so fundamentally the way this thread is being conducted is not particularly masculine
I wonder what size guns adam ondra is packing :-\
-
REAL men measure in feet, moo.
-
I want an accurate measurement of Fred Nicoles forearms. In fact I want a brass casting of his mighty meat hooks. (Or silicone......) :-*
-
REAL men measure in feet, moo.
Or special 'man inches', like so,
One man inch:
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/asdf25/DSC00675-1.jpg)
-
I would hate to measure anything of mine is those inches!!!!
They look like fattie inches, for measuring big boned waists.
-
You got it back to front Magpie
REAL men measure in feet, moo.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y61/asdf25/DSC00675-1.jpg)
This is of course 8 man inches.....eh guys? guys? anyone?
-

You might well be right :lol: It's been a long week :-[

Maybe I'm confusing man inches and lady inches which are used for doing other measurements :-\
-
OK so here are my stats:
wrist : 18.5cm
Forearm : 35cm
Bicep : 38cm
-
wrist 17cm
Forearm 29cm
Bicep 34cm
-
Bicep: 33
Forearm: 31
+ Human triangle test!
Chest (exp): 102
Waist: 76
-
whats the difference between waist and chest needed to be considered a human triangle then?
-
Bicep 36
Forearm 34.5
Wrist 18.5
-
+ Human triangle test!
I want to know what makes you a human triangle too, it sounds like it may qualify those most triangular for other threads on here :-\
-
can you flex your lats while measuring the chest? i think it's quite important.
-
+ Human triangle test!
I want to know what makes you a human triangle too
something like this...

-
I think the person having a chest ~twice the size of the waist would be a benchmark triangle! (Lat flexing not included)
-
Oh. That's not pretty. ???
-
Bicep = 30cm
Forearm = 30cm
Wrist = 18 cm
I have tubes for arms....... Is that good?
-
Crouch stop willy waving on the chest front. We're talking biceps here sunshine and the simple fact is you have non. Go start a sub 3% body fat thread somewhere you shrivelled triangular hobo.
-
Go start a sub 3% body fat thread somewhere you shrivelled triangular hobo.
If I could just add to that wonderful insult Tom... how about "greasy, shrivelled, triangular, ginger hobo"? Maybe add "punter" in there somewhere and it's the best description of Rich ever.
-
I don't usually check out strange men in pubs, but I clocked Jim's gun show on Friday night, and his stats are clearly bigger than the ones he offered, and he was only flexed enough to keep hold of his pint.
-
wrist = 17cm
forearm = 32cm
bicep = 36cm
jimmy that makes my guns bigger than yours and as is clear to see that is not true...
-
Everyone knows that Jim has either made a major mistake or is just plain lying. His guns are BIG.
What about this though?

Murray's guns are looking rather beefed up. How does it make you (you being the generic ukb crowd) feel to know that a tennis player has bigger biceps that you??? :lol:
-
He's developed one muscle, wowie.
-
15 3/4" didn't realise people measured bodyparts in metric it's so uncivilised. so i am whatever that translates to. i'm not going back in the cellar for the tape, someone may here her screaming. remember years ago people, ie beasts, didn't even register for big arm status until 23"

for the few of you who don't read my blog (bad, very bad of you) i am happy to announce that given the torrids temps here and the fact that i can't travel, i will soon start a serious power weights program. maybe it will improve my masculinity, if not my climbing.

i will soon start a serious power weights program. maybe it will improve my masculinity,
What those weights will do - Nibs - is make your penis even smaller in comparison to your body. :lol:
-
houd,
to be honest that was quite funny.
-
32.5cm biceps, not measured forearms yet, 30 inch waist!
-
i found out that my biceps measure exactly like my calves.
it's useless to know, though, but the first time i'll be drunk i'll try to sneak it into a conversation.
-
Wouldn't surprice me if mind did too. Both fucking skinny.
-
I can tell you proudly Lore, my biceps have now overtaken my calves.
-
Alas, my calves are 3 inches bigger than my biceps, and I have very skinny legs. :'(
Maybe I should give up climbing and become a cyclist?
-
you would never get up those big hills with them tho!

Bicep is 32cm, wrist is 15cm, but strangley my popeye (forearm) is 33cm thats not right is it?
I've curbed the wanking lately too
