My arms are one of the few places on my body that don't put on much fat when I'm bulking. That would work out great as long as I kept my shirt on, but my face always bloats up and looks like a marshmallow.

Jesus, you look like a tank with legs. Mount a canon on your chest and you could invade a small country.

I'm not gonna lie, I just LOL'd.
Actually, you look mammoth. For some reason, you always seem to look even more ginormous in "real" pics, as opposed to your PWO pics.

Yes. Even at very low body fat percentages, triceps don't pop like that without flexing.

I've drawn some arrows pointing to my traps (short for "trapezius")

I agree, but I'm not sure why. In all my PWO pictures I'm totally pumped, and in pictures like my annual Thanksgiving triceps photo ( ) I'm flat and quite a bit smaller...

Ok, here it is, but it's actually a pretty poor comparison because I'm standing differently. At first glance I actually look bigger in last year's photo! But on closer inspection it's just the way I'm standing and holding my arm.
In last year's photo my arm is bent slightly more, and shows more of my bicep. This year my bicep is more elongated and angled differently, so more of my tricep is showing.
I noticed that my triceps heads are all quite a bit thicker this year, my forearm is thicker/more muscled and my neck is bigger & thicker. Of course the rest of my body has grown along with my arms, so it's hard to tell from these pictures that I'm 30 pounds heavier and my arms are almost 2 inches bigger in the 2006 shot.

I definitely try to act like one when I'm bulking. Adopting that kind of attitude helps me stay totally focused.

The name of the game for tonight's workout (biceps/triceps) was INTENSITY!
I supersetted my biceps and triceps as usual (no rest between the biceps and triceps work), but I decided to try something new tonight: I shortened my rest intervals between each superset to 45 seconds, and to just 1 minute between each different set of exercises. I was very strict with the timing, and it was absolutely brutal.
My arms were pumped to just shy of 19.5 inches when I finished my workout. I had to sit around for about 15 minutes before I could shower because I literally could not bend my arms enough to take my shirt off or reach my head to wash my hair until the pump went down.
I'm surprised I'm not more bloated after yesterday's Thanksgiving feast.
I've got a big mouthful of gum.
