Depends on height. I have a friend who is like 5'7" and his arms look big for him at 16", I think someone my height (6') looks like he has big arms at 17+.

depends on your height and bodyfat too. When I was cut-up at 5'5" 175 my arms were only a little over 16" and looked pretty damn big. Now I'm bulking and am at 210, with 17"+ arms, and they actually look smaller. Go figure.

Think there is a correlation on cock size and height? I hit just above average, but have been told that I'm lucky because short dudes tend to have smaller peckers.

I agree with the height/arm size correlation.
I don't think my 17" arms are huge, I would say they are on the small side of big, but since I'm only 5'7 they look pretty big when I wear tight short sleeve shirts and everyone's like "holy cow! you're huge!"

I also agree with height/pecker correlation, without specific details, let's just say I'm average...

I'm 6'3 (sucks to be tall) w/ 17" arms and they look like toothpicks!!!!! =( When they are flexed they look aight, but from a side profile they don't look big.. atleast not to me. I think they will look decent at 18" after I lose some bodyfat.

I'm 6ft and have 17.5 inch arms and they look big as everyone in the gym comments on them. I've seen guys with arms the same size as me but they don't look big-they just look fat and have no peak. I've also seen a guy with smaller arms than me that look bigger because of the shape. But that guy was one of the best body builders in the world for his division. So I think shape has much more to do eith it rather then size.
