    My right forearm is finally bigger than my left forearm now! If i seem overly excited that's because this is the first time any right part of my body has been bigger than my left strength and muscle-size wize.
    R: 29cm pumped, 27cm normal
    L: 27cm pumped, 26cm normal

    i guess all that smashing's paying off :D

    well, 2 yrs passed here are my measurement today:

    R: 27.2cm
    L: 25cm

    whether this is growth due to fat or my recent grip strength and wrist strength training, i don't know... ;)

    Looks like it's been a good two years for you! They say you need to gain 15lbs per inch gain in the upper arm, so I presume that translates to about 20lbs per extra inch of forearms. You think that's true, or do you manage to grow your forarms without much weight gain?

    On an similar note, I've maintined my weight but have not directly worked my forearms in about 6 arms. My arm size remains about the same (27"/26.5") even though i'm sure my strength has greatly decreased. Perhaps forearm size is determined more by bodyweight than wrist strength?

    my overall weight remains the same as it was a few years ago. i think i have gained in some places and lost in some.

    i haven't biked regularly for many years already. i think i have lost almost all the leg muscles that i gained during my biking days. my friend used to say that my legs are unproportionally big for my skinny body. nowadays, they have become very skinny.

    in place of the lost muscles, i have gained some fat, result of too much good food here in california. i have been working on wrist and arm strength lately but the small amount of muscles volumn there doesn't contribute too much to my overall weight.

    It is funny how we guys need to measure our body parts :p . Haven't seen any girls coming up with their numbers... Still I had to measure myself too :D :

    R forearm 30cm
    L forearm 28cm

    R calf 40cm
    L calf 40cm

    R thigh 62cm
    L thigh 61cm

    I couldn't really see the importance of wrist & bicep size to badminton so didn't bother to measure them.

    I'm 6'1" around 200 lbs and right handed.

    R forearm: 33 cm
    L forearm: 30.5 cm

    R bicep: 37 cm
    L bicep: 34.5 cm

    R thigh: 66 cm
    L thigh: 63.5 cm

    I used to do a ton of weightlifting before I broke/fractured my right wrist doing cleans 6 months ago. :( I would do dumbbell wrist curls with the 70 lb. dumbbells for sets of 10.
    Since i've primarily focused on rehabilitating my right wrist and have been playing badminton much more often during the last couple months, my right forearm has grown bigger. I've noticed that my right forearm has become a lot more sinuous and dense through playing badminton. :cool:
