Any other guys tired of having really skinny arms?

I hate them, they're easily one of the most unattractive part of me :mad:
i've tried working out for the past couple months but it only seems to tone what little muscle I have there

same as anyone else?

You sound quite emasculated. Most guys have quite beasty arms, you sound like there may be something wrong with you. Like you have a vagina.

Nope, my arms are nice. Also you're not working out properly.

I have exactly the same problem. You quite simply have to work your freakin' ass off on the weights. Lifting 20lbs won't do anything for you... You've gotta be benching 30-40lbs and eating LOAAAADDDSSS of food. No food = No Muscle Build.
I hate my skinny arms, cannae be arrrsed going gym though and can't afford weights...

This made me lol so hard. Nah most guys don't have beefy arms...they may be wearing beefy jumpers though. :wink:
Nope. :smile:

I've always been quite slim. I tried the whole exercise, get muscle thing, but it's just not interesting at all. the most toned I was came from working on a mango farm. I couldn't really give a **** tbh. Arms are arms.

I've just started doing press ups in the house in the hope that something might come of it. Somehow, I doubt it will mind. :closedeyes:

OP I thought you had to lift heavy, and eat a lot!

Keep trying, all guys can lift and build muscle if they want it hard enough. :wink:

Ugh, I'm a girl who has surprisingly muscly arms, which is odd as I eat like not protein and do no exercise :/ I want thin arms!

If your username is implying you do drumming then surely you'll have a little muscle from doing that?

Hard, right? If you can't do anything like that, then I'm afraid you're going to be stuck with your arms like the rest of us. I wouldn't worry about it too much mate. If you're that fussed about it, then just do loads of pull ups and press ups. Get yourself a bar to go across a door frame, they're not too expensive. Just try to avoid repetition. Put a load of school/Uni work in a backpack and do press ups. Reps = Tone, Weight = Build.

If I ever feel self-conscious about the size of my arms I just put this on:

Forearm rather than Biceps and triceps :smile: (I didn't know the name of the arm before the forearm? Ha.)

My arms are firm, but not big. :smile:
