forearms get hit pretty well just by doing deadlifts and shrugs, heavy bb weighted lifts...i just do 3 sets of hammers and those. mine develop well with just that

I think genetics play an important role... Some don't even have to work forearms, they get enought stimulation from all the other exercises.. while some can do hammers, wrist curls, every iso possible and they still seem to lag behind.. kinda like calfs do for some people..
There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

14 flexed, man I don't wanna talk about my calves  it's embarrasing, i'm just gonna say the numbers but don't ever ask again lol until you see a thread that says " finally 15'' calves!" they're 13.4

well right now i'm 162lbs, 6'0'' and around 12-14% bf.. i was at my best about a month ago 168 around 12%bf but since I sprained my ankle i haven't trained at all and i just eat and eat 'cause i don't have anything else to do lol and i've put on some fat, but i'm starting next week again :)
although i benched on thursday (180lbs 1RM) it doesn't count as a training day
So what are your stats?

This chart shows perfect body proportions.
i dont get it, how exactly am i supposed to be doing this? actually i figured it out but why do they have that random number after what the measurement should be? i was pretty close with most of my measurements but my arms and neck needs to be bigger, with a smaller waist
