Mine measures just 11 inches while biceps measure right around 12. I was just wondering if anyone else's measures close to your bicep muscle too and what the difference would be.
I get a 9 on the forearm and 10.5 on the bicep which isn't bad for an ecto, I guess.

Holy Cow Charlotte....with about 4 winter coats and 2 sweaters on I could get my bicep and forearm to be about that......hmmm. I am a little on the skinny side...but when my house warms up a little later I will check....for major laughs :+
Charlotte,
My booty is really tiny ....I was just sticking it out in that picture and it happened to look larger than life only because it was closer to the camera;-) I'd still love to borrow your arms....but I'm not so sure you'll want to walk around with 32 inch hips (it is so hard finding adult underwear that doesn't bag!)...LOL;-)
Robin, I buy my under garments in the little girls department. On the bright side, they are less expensive. I will also buy boys unders since they don't have giant leg holes.
Bobbi,
I really would buy them in the little girls department but I prefer the 100% cotton french cut style (unless I wear low rise jeans) for comfort, but they don't make them for little girls (I have checked...LOL) When I do find the ones I like in my size I usually buy about 20 pairs (no kidding) and it is usually online....the department stores don't carry the extra small sizes for some odd reason.
Lori, measuring like that was harder than it sounded!:+ It took me a while but I've got it, I'm another ecto, forearms 9.5, bicep 11.5, wrist 5.5.
Charlotte that's awesome that your forearms and biceps are so developed and your wrists so dainty. I haven't measured mine before so it gives me some motivation and lets me know that it can be done. I got a good start on it with GS B/S/B today, I love the feel of the hammer curls with forearm rotation in that one!
Just pretend your possessed and the priest is splashing holy water on your forearms while you lift...then you may repeat, "it burns...it burns....it burns" LOL! I really burn my forearms really good when I lift. The highest I have gotten was 75# and then I strained my forearms so I went back to 70# for cheat curls.
Do you have access to Costco? They have a wonderful French cut unders called it-se-bit-se by French Dressing. The problem I have always had was too much fabric in the seat and large leg holes so they roll up in the most uncomfortable way. My DD's still call the ones I mentioned granny panties but they are high cut, full coverage and very comfortable.

Charlotte, you do 70 pounds for biceps? You are amazing!

>OH MY GOSH, am I suppose to have forearms, too?

All the ectos aren't required to have forearms or biceps....we can even measure with our winter coats on for an ego boost. What counts is we try, and do the exercises;-) Actually, I think that should go for everyone....but mesos and endos can take their coats off
