Now I see some guys at the mall, restaurants, or work, and just looking at their arms they look huge and well defined.
Now since I started lifting my arms have gotten much bigger in these 4 months, but just standing there with a shirt on they don't have that holyS#$t look to them. They look good when they are pumped or when I flex but not just standing there like some guys.
Is this something that will come in time? Am I buying the wrong shirts? I don't have a high peek?
I want big arms without flexing!

Just how big were you expecting your arms to be after 4 months of training?
I don't get it, we must have all these people running around thinking that the only thing that seperates them from the look of an IFBB pro is a couple of months in the gym. The mind boggles.
Not sure how to answer this post...
Yeah it a T-shirt, you just need a better T-shirt.

to the average person, a defined 16" arm is going to look rather stout. a defined 17" arm looks really big
a defined 18" arm would probably be "huge" to the average mall walker
I have had my fatceps up to 18" and no one noticed....then any kid walks in with cut 15.5" arms and the whole gym stops and gawks.
so dont forget how low bodyfat will make a small arm look way bigger due to the sharp contours etc
set long term goals and gradually reach them...dont be in TOO much of a hurry"Humility comes before honor"

"The fitness and nutrition world is a breeding ground for obsessive-compulsive behavior. The irony is that many of the things people worry about have no impact on results either way, and therefore aren't worth an ounce of concern."--Alan Aragon

Big muscular arms are something I've always wanted, and I guess I'm there now with slightly over 17 inchers. (cold flexed)
It takes years to get good sized arms, not months.
I've found the cut and believe it or not, colour of a T shirt can make a huge difference to look and size of your arm.
I tend to wear vests a lot, but a T shirt with a very short or capped sleeve in black can make the upper arm look it's biggest.
I know if I wear this kind of gear my arms look enormous!Tennis balls?...........my Biceps are as big as Grapefruits!
