what r u guys??

How big are mine?

Never big enough, brother.

:D

Btw, 16.5" isn't exactly tiny; it all depends on your structure. Frank Zane's arms were 16.75" in the 1980 Mr. Olympia. They weren't huge by any means but they looked really good.
 
16 look like 20's on guys who are 5'7'' and below

mine are 20 but they look 16 because I am taller and my chest is big....so the tape measure doesn't mean everything......pretty much what guldukat was saying:)

Exactly.

16 1/4 isn't small bro. Go measure a few normal people's arms, and be ready to laugh.:)
 
17-17.25" flexed.

I think they look small on me, and I'm 5'9" as well. But then, I just want them to function.:)

Mine are 17 when flexed, but I am 6'3. So like IL said, they look like twigs.

Eh, mine look something like yours ...

I wanna get them to around 20inches in the next 2 years. :D

Mine are 20", most people think they look pretty damn big. Brother, anything in the 16's is not small by any means, like Thaibox said, look at the average person's arms, and be prepared to laugh your ass off. Go to one of those blood pressure machines they have at Wal-Mart and you'll feel like Hulk Hogan.....I can barely fit my wrist in one of those bad boys.
 
Yea, average size is around 13 for someone my height. Meaning someone that doesn't work out.

14.5" I posted about this and that post is now bottom of the page, might have to bump it. Arms by far my weakest body part, it seems more the width of them as they look okay from the side i.e. from bicep peak to back of tricep, but looking at them from the front they look thin.

I'm 5' 11 1/2". 195lbs.

Using DC training (trying to formulate my own method atm by seeing what works for me and what I enjoy) so not sure how I would go about putting me emphasis on arms.
 
16 inches cold unflexed bent at the elbow...basically limp...
Need to make a cold flexed measurement so i can measure up..prob 17, somewhere around there...
 
i don't know exactly but i'm guessing 16 and a little bit. i'm 6'2" btw so they don't look big or anything, but at least this is at a low BF.
 
Last measurment I did my arms were 18.5 with my arm straight and just over 20 with arm bent but not flexed.

Cheers,
Scotsman
 
spatts, you're making the boys feel bad, you're arms are bigger than some of theirs.

Anywho mine are 18 and look like toothpicks. 5'9" btw
 
I'm 6'2". My left is 15" and my right is 15.5". But they look pretty good, not like twigs. I love my right arm, but my left looks a lot less developed even though it's about the same strength. /shrug

Well mine are ALL fat and triceps. Mine are 18 inches. I have no idea whether they look big, or don't look big. Let Spatts or IronLion say what they look like. My arms have always looked little to me. Especially my puny biceps.

And this was measured peak to peak, meaning biggest part of the biceps to biggest part of the triceps.

My arms will grow, just going to take time, and I am patient man. Also another good thing about having a lagging body part is you get to realise just how much the rest of you has grown.
 
Man, I always thought I had guns, this is embarassing! :bawling: Mine're a shade over 15" and I'm 6'1" but I've got pretty low bf so I guess that helps ...
 
6'2", 6%bf, 16in arms. Thats them in my avatar. They look a little bit bigger than 16 but i dunno lol.

Mine are 18.5 flexed but cold, just under 5'9" and 10% bodyfat. The other day I measured them pumped and they were almost 19.5, I wish they were that big all the time. It really does boil down to proportions though. I get constant comments at the gym, no one believes my arms are under 20", but since my frame is so small they look much bigger.
Being a skinny kid sucked when I first started, but after 12 years of training its starting to pay off....
 
My right arm peaked at 19" pumped last year. With my left peaking a bit smaller. Sadly they are down to around 17" unpumped and around 18" pumped. I am all naturall but I lost 8kg's in 2 weeks, and my arms never fully recovered even though I am back up to my previous weight of around 232.
 
needsize, yeah, from your pics I would put your arms at around 20", so I can see people at your gym think that.
 
11 inches pumped and 10.5 cold....on a good day with a good carb up and the wind conditions just right, I can hit 11 inches and an 1/16 (but if I wear a wifebeater tanktop to the gym which I assume is now a federal law for every 15 to 22 year old to wear) they look at least 1 inch larger
 
I recently measured my arms at 32 inches??

This measurement is based on the full extension of my arm from the finger tips to the front delt.

Did I measure correctly??

Maybe if you stopped doing that DC workout crap and did 18 sets of reverse quadruple cable curl dropset burnouts you'd add some inches to your arm. When will you learn that you must attack the bicep from 14 different positions? To cause growth, you must bomb and blitz your biceps.
 
That may be bad advice for the majority of us, but it sure did work for the muscle beach crowd of the 60's and 70's. Maybe it was something in the water. LOL
