Why are my arms so skinny?!

Why are my arms so skinny?

Im 14 and usualy when I see 14 year old guys theyre arms are the average size

but my arms are so much more skinny than a normal 14 year old guy

how do I make them bigger?

Bad diet,
Small bones
Age/metabolism

I doubt your under or mal-nourished, so we'll rule out the diet. While it may not be a healthy diet :) you're not starving.

Some people are born with thinner and smaller bones, nothing you can do there ;/

You're fourteen yes? You've got much growing to do still. Boys or girls do not grow in equal increments. You may suddenly put on thirty pounds when you're about seventeen, you just don't know. Wait until you're about twenty two, and you'll be about done growing, as you're metabolism slows with age.


As for making them bigger? Well muscle weighs more than fat, so simple exercise and use of the arms will increase their weight, which will increase your weight, which may make you look bigger. If you want to properly 'bulk up,' you have to study, research, study, research .... strenght training and lifting can be extremely dangerous, and most people when their young, try to short cut or 'cheat,' which can render them physically disabled or sick from drugs, bad dieting and strain on their body.


For now, understand you're young, you're thin, and that's a blessing. Trust me, when you hit thirty or so, and that metabolism of your youth slows down... oh you are not going to like the weight you put on :)


You won't be worrying about your arms anymore! "My stomache! Wtheck happened!!?!?"
