arm

[7leecker]

Veins tapered down his fingers, running over the back of his hands crossing and recrossing over themselves. As he clenched his fist the veins shifted and bulged under his brown skin. They shot down the cables of tendons and ligaments of his wrists, spreading apart as the muscles of his forearms expanded. The complex musculature of his forearms rippled with each small movement of his hands, as the cords and bunches slid in and out of view. Veins dipped and rose with each shift.

One big vein plunged into the crook of his elbow, then shot out over the outer edge of each of his long and dense biceps, defining the muscle. At the bicep/deltoid tie-in the pencil-thick vein slipped beneath the skin again. If he pulled his fist upright, that bicep swelled and peaked into a great chiseled mound. It was a classic long bicep with a breathtakingly powerful arc from elbow to shoulder. Smaller veins defined the brachialis and disappeared under his vast triceps. And crowning the peak of his monster bicep was razor sharp split that furrowed deeply parallel to the great vein.

When he extended his arms, his incredible triceps burst into relief. The arching horseshoe shape was completely defined and striated. If he held his wrist and pressed his arm against his lat, the whole musculature of his upper arm separated into its exquisite components while its veins forced you to acknowledge his peerless hardness, definition and density.

Capping his stunning arms were a pair of spectacular deltoids. The three heads were optimally developed, creating the classic cannonball shape with finger-like definition cascading down the middle head. The separation between the delt and biceps was an incredibly sharp diagonal. The indentation at the deltoid?s shoulder insertion was so deep and rugged, that when flexed it vanished into deepest shadow.

Wow. That's a fantastic description--amazingly detailed, while still managing to be poetic.

Excellent job.

You also have my thanks and congratulations on your post. Despite not being very long, and not being about fantasy growth, I found it to be amoung the hottest things I've read here. Thanks for sharing!

It's a great, vivid description. Imaginative and attention to detail - superb.

Purpose????

I'm guessing the same purpose as any work on the forum.

The name of this forum is "Muscle Growth Stories". A story it is not, no matter how much it captures one's imagination and emotions.

You are absolutely right. But...

...there's been plenty of stuff on this site about just muscle. Especially the Photos section. There's very little actual growth stuff there, but easily a good dozen or so threads with just pictures of muscle.

Am I complaining about them? No I'm not. Do people complain about those threads? With the possible exception of PM's, probably not.

The general attitude we've adopted, isn't a bad one; but it's an attitude of not being "purely" muscle growth.

So if something doesn't have any growth, don't worry about it. Simply move on, no one makes you look at anything here.

Awesome... I love veins!

VERY nice!

But where's the rest .

I don't think an author should have to justify why they are posting or the purpose of it. You're also taking a very rigid concept of 'story-as-tale'. A story need not be a 'tale' in the classic sense at all: that should be for the author to decide. Here's one readily available definition of a story: 'A usually fictional prose or verse narrative intended to interest or amuse the hearer or reader'. 7leecker certainly succeeds at this. I thank him/her for sharing... great stuff!

Thank you both for the reminder and the lesson. The only thing I have to say MM is that I was not worried about the muscle growth part - just that I didn't think it was a story. Both of you followed that up with excellent points. 1) I don't have to read it, and 2) My definition of a story was far too narrow and constrained.

Thank you both once again for your polite corrections.

Of course. I was glad I could help.
