Just cuz you can't be 15 and take steroids doesn't mean i can't post bro, but it's all good


i was thinking of the XXX forum, lol you seem old enough mentally ;)
 
I’m 5’6” and my arms are 16.75”. As of what I think is big…well I guess it depends on how tall you are. For example compare a 6' guy with 18” and a guy that’s 5’3” and has 17” arms. Though the 6 footer has bigger arms I’m more impressed with the short dude. I think it’s all relative to your height and bf %. You can measure a fat ass's arms and he could put up big numbers. It’s all relative

O.K. guys.....here goes.........I am 21, I'm 5'7" (well, five seven and a half lol) I currently weigh 161lbs. My bench as of about a week ago is 185lbs, which is crap I guess but I could only bench 140 about 4.5 weeks ago, so i guess thats a decent improvement. Well, I measured my arms the last time about 1 week ago, and cold and unflexed, they were 11.5 inches; flexed (still cold) they were 12.5 inches. That's sad. I would like to know if that is a normal measurement for my size, or am I genetically weird? I REALLY want to improve these arms:mad:

You're 5'7" I wouldn't say you're genetically wierd. Mine are about the same 13" flexed at 140lbs and 5'9" I'll bet your arms look bigger than mine with the 2" height difference. And with a 185 bench they're stronger than mine too so don't feel bad. My frame is so small that I actually look decent, like a regular athlete though not a bodybuilder. Needsize has it right it depends on the purportions. A better measurement would be armspan versus circumference since shorter arms would look bigger than longer arms of the same measurement.
 
I think the most important part is realizing 95% of guys with arms 17 inch or over are just plain fat. I can get up to 17 inch arms like alot of people easy but I will not look as aesthetically pleasing. Percentage of bodyfat matters most when saying how big one's arms are. And whether or not one is natural makes a big difference obviously. This isn't directed at anyone either,lol.
 
i typed 19 but i meant 17...

s'ok you're not the only one I'm sure!

when mine are pumped theyre a bit over 18" but they look about 14" because of my horrible muscle shape (no peak weird & looking tris)
 
BMF1 - 20 and 3/4.
5'5" 251lbs 11% bf.

Holy fucking moly, you must be fucking huge. I'm 22, 5'4" and mine are only 16 inches at the min...but i've jsut had 2 months off training.
Have had them at 17.75 cold, but that was during cycle.
 
I'm at 20" now cold...... i've lost a bunch of weight in the last year or so, about 170lbs. Back in the fat ass days i was a good 23"... but on a 420+lbs body, 23" arms didn't look terribly big, and didn't look strong at all. But now at 250lbs a 20" arm looks pretty darn big. Nothing like some of you freaks though, weighing like 160 with 20's......thats just friggin insane....
