Don’t worry though, I know that doesn’t give a very detailed look. I’ll examine what it means in terms of numbers, or quantifiable data, to give a more complete understanding.

It’s the butt of hundreds of overdone yet somehow hilarious internet memes. It’s an entire personality trait amongst self-proclaimed “real” lifters. It’s … it’s … hating Planet Fitness.
Peeved bodybuilders shame the popular gym chain’s obnoxious Lunk Alarm siren, ban on weight-slamming, and lack of legitimate squat racks.
The semi-ironic anti-lunk atmosphere (so much for the “Judgement Free Zone”) and elbow-deep Tootsie Roll jar at the front desk only add fuel to the “Planet Fitness isn’t a real gym” fire.
But how’s this for a strange hill to die on — Planet Fitness really isn’t that bad.

Five-time Mr. Olympia finalist Roelly Winklaar would still outsize you by a full three inches. But 21-inch unflexed upper arms would land you in “genetic freak” territory — an insane 7.59 inches (or 44.1%) larger than the average 20–29-year old.
You wouldn’t be the first guy to budge the tape to 21 inches.
