Max Size Calculator

[quadancer]

I think you guys may be taking a literally general guideline from a two-point system a bit seriously. What about the 3 body types, ecto, endo, and mesomorph. I've seen fat guys with thin wrists and vice-versa. And as I said before, age factor, and what about genetics as well?
It's just a general guide, that's all it can be. I couldn't possibly grow to the proportions indicated, and I'm OVER the mark on a couple others.

Yeah, I think it's fun to look at though, to see where I vary in comparison to the ideal. It's interesting. Maybe I was meant to be a sprinter instead of a lifter? Also, I think this calculator sort of represents the genetic elite anyway, so attaining surpassing all of those measurements naturally would probably not be very likely.

That seems awefully wrong to me :| Im 16 years of age, in my first cycle of HST and never done any other workout before. I currently have 13-13.5" (measured from the highest point as usual) arms without any previous training and according to that the max i am able to attain would be 15.9" arms!

its amusing never the less haha, or maybe i just dont know enough to make any judgements yet?

[Totentanz]

Just remember, this calculator is assuming that you would be at 8% bodyfat for the final measurements. You can lose a lot of size while cutting down to 8%, since fat will make everything seem bigger.

Anyway, this thing is just a nice measuring stick to compare yourself against. Maybe it can help you set goals. For instance, I am now doing an upper body specialization cycle because my legs are at what this calculator gives as my max size, while upperbody apparently has a lot to gain still.
That's all it is for. Don't get discouraged by it.

Enter your wrist size (inches): *7.25
Enter your ankle size (inches): *11.5
Enter your height (inches): *68.5
*


Predicted Maximum Stats at 8% Bodyfat
Lean body weight: 229.9
Chest Size (inches): 52.3
Upper Arms Size (inches): 16.7
Forearms Size (inches): 13.4
Neck Size (inches): 16.54
Thighs Size (inches): 29.9
Calfs Size (inches): *20.2


Now i doubled checked the measurements. I have always had a great leg strength, being able to do a horizontal leg press 100lbs in 5th grade. I just wish i had a little more genetic potential in my arms. I am kinda doubtful though. I think my arms can get bigger than that. I think I can hit that within 5 years time if not less.
My forearms are 11 inches and my biceps are 13 inches. Kinda cool since last measurement was around 11.5-12 a couple monthes ago

Density has nothing to do with thickness. If you have 6 inch wrists and over time, they become more dense, they are still going to be 6 inch wrists. The only difference would be there is more bone mass within the same given area.

I haven&#39;t been lifting all that long and I am at or above on some measurements, and way below on some others. I agree that the leg projections(esp. thigh) tend to be skimpy...either that or we are all storing alot of invisible fat on the thighs..(probably&#33

Height- 72&quot;
wrist- 7.25&quot;
ankle- 9&quot;

Lean mass- 200 lb.s
Chest -48&quot; (need 5 inches here...that would be awesome&#33
Upper arm -17.5&quot;(need 2&quot; here)
forearm-14&quot;(need 1&quot; here)
neck-17&quot; (already there&#33
thigh- 24.5&quot; (need 1/2&quot;, but like I said alot of hidden fat is stored on thighs)
calf- 16.5&quot; (need 2&quot; here)

[scientific muscle]

BTW, you are supposed to measure at the absolute smallest part of wrist and ankle...not on the ankle bone&#33; It looks like Cova messed up....unless he has huge bones in his legs, there is no way he has 11.5&quot; ankles and can get 30&quot; thighs at 8% bodyfat....(that kid drives me nutz&#33

[bluejacket]

what&#33; cova get or give misleading info.....no way.

anyway, about your prev. post of being at or above on some meas. yet you havent been lifting long. i go along with what totz said back in july, 8% is real lean especially if your carrying enough mass to have 17.5&quot; arms at 8%. some do have indiv body parts that are strong points but of course they are usually offset by a number of other areas that need work. from what ive read so far, you seem well on your way to achieving your goals though.

Here&#39;s my stats as per the calculator:

Height : 65.35” / Wrist : 6.5” / Ankle : 9.05”

Predicted Maximum Stats at 8% Bodyfat

Lean body weight : 174.7 (Now 156 @19% BF)
Chest Size (inches) : 43.8 (42.51) need 1.28&quot;
Upper Arms Size (inches) : 15.2 (15.35) over by 0.15&quot;
Forearms Size (inches) : 12.1 (11.81) need 0.29&quot;
Neck Size (inches) : 14.99 (15.35) over by 0.36&quot;
Thighs Size (inches) : 23.5 (22.83) need 0.67&quot;
Calfs Size (inches) : 15.9 (15.6) need 0.3&quot;

I could say HST is definitelly doing it for me, chest being the worst I only need 1.28&quot; there, since I got my dip contraption recently I&#39;ll catch up pretty soon.

If I catch up to that weight though, I&#39;ll be way over the calculatoir in everything

According to some sources 1&quot; on biceps frop every 15 Lb body weight, if I add teh BF at 8% I&#39;ll have 188.68 which is 32.67 pounds that I need, that is almost 2 inches on the bi&#39;s, I&#39;ve always wanted 17&quot; guns, guess I&#39;ll have to work on it&#33;

Thanks to HST - grrrrreat&#33;
