flexed or unflexed

[trojandogg]

This might be a really dumb/noob question but when someone says that they have 18'' (or any other number) biceps is that flexed or unflexed. I always tape my biceps unflexed as i think there is less variability but was wondering what the proper way was.

Thanks

Typically flexed unless otherwise noted.

When people say 18" they are referring to flexed. Often people will blag this number by getting an arm pump which will make the measurement larger...thats generally insecure fucks. Also body fat needa to be taken into consideration.ie someomw with 20" arms could have bodyfat around them and if cut down to stage lean that will likely go to 17"-18".

18" SUB 9% BF is a damn big arm!

18" at or above 14% bf is a fat arm

Sorry to go way off topic..but im sure i answered you somewhere there!
