Well...my thighs are 25...and I weigh 10 lbs less than you do...and am 5'6". So...you are asking...compared to who?

im asking if my measurements are good for my hieght and weight

I'd say that they are about average.

depends on your structure. if you have a large bone structure, then less muscle will look like more. if you have small bone structure, you need an appreciable amount of muscle to look big. the person with the smaller frame will be considerably lighter but have a better look usually. 16 inch arms on someone with a large diameter humerus is nothing compared to 16 inches on someone with a smaller diameter humerus.

your measurements will lie to you compared to others. use the mirror. if you have good symmetry, pretty good shape and make that waist small, you'll look bigger than the guys that have measurements and the scale in their favor.

sure mass will win overall, but the frame you hang the mass on will determine how it shapes up.
