Cannon Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Updated ratios:A question for y'all. How much increase have you been able to achieve in forearm size due to workouts and not with a large weight gain? Quite a bit. I have some measurements I took in 2005 for a something else, but I will look and see where my forarms were at then, prior to any grip training. I'm in the boat right now where my cold forarm is similar to my cold bicep Both about 12 inches. Of course when I flex my bicep, however, it is bigger than my flexed forearm. This is mostly due to neglect of general fitness. My weight has pretty much always been 165lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hab34buy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If I understand it right... The first number is the ratio of bmi divided by forearm size. Then it is the bmi number, followed by the forearms size. On the far left is the griper that the greatest closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bonzi Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Just a thought folks. It seems that waist measurements to forearm size might be more representative than the BMI one. If you send in snug waist measurements(widest circumference) I will update the chart to indicate the extra ratio figure. I still think that the BMI got people to at least think about their relative fitness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthcarl Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm not sure adding the waist measurement will make a whole lot of difference. Take a look at my other meaurements just for fun: Height-67" Weight-210lbs. Neck-17" Upper arm-16" Forearm-14" Chest-43" Waist-36" Hips-40" Thighs-25" Calves-18" Basically I'm built like a fireplug. I expect a 36" waist to a 14" forearm would compare favorably on this chart, but my grip is still below average. Maybe that's just because I haven't een training vey long. I don't know.
