ARMS - Misc, how big is big ???

**SoVeReIgN** · 02-14-2009, 02:45 PM

16.5" (r) 16" (l) at 6,1.

Look tiny. My arms are my weakest bodyparts :-(

**Grug** · 02-14-2009, 02:51 PM

Define "big". To average punter 15" is big, heck mine are only about 14.75" at the moment and I still regularly get comments about them. At their biggest mine were about 15.5" and I literally had people comment on them daily. I carry very little fat on my arms though, so they're always fairly well defined.

Now to bodybuilders 15" is obviously just a starting point, and 17-18" is where "big" starts. Personally I want 16" arms, I have a large ribcage and comparatively skinny arms, so thicker arms would really help balance my physique proportionally.

5'3" and around 16.5 flexed

**DGreekStallion** · 02-14-2009, 03:10 PM

Mine are a bit above 16,not bad in my opinion.

**Replicator** · 02-14-2009, 03:24 PM

5'10", 175 and 15.5" arms here (BF around 12/13%, my arms are still really lean).

Used to think when I was at 13" that 15s would do me, now at 15.5 they still feel pretty average. Don't get many comments, just a few every now and again. Mates like to take the piss out of the "guns" for lulz (on a sidenote; God I hate how that word has seeped into every halfwit's lexicon).

I think 17s are when it gets BIG at my height, I think I'll be very happy with 16/16.5s at around 175/180 lean.

**Clean** · 02-14-2009, 03:29 PM

16, 17, 18, 19, and 20s can look big on anyone under 5'11" if done right.

Think I have around 16s now pumped.

**mada071** · 02-14-2009, 03:52 PM

god damn you white people and easily being able to get 16's, 17's, and 18's!

(NO RACIST) (just jealous)

im at 14 flex and 12 non. My goal is about 17 at my height with a cut. (I can hit that in about 1 and 1/2 year - 2 1/2 year, I hope. )

You are never gonna reach your full potential or anywhere close to it if you keep on blaming genetics for not being big...

**BrainSlayer** · 02-14-2009, 09:07 PM

I'm like 5'7.5" tall and Arms (R)14.875 (L)14.5 cold flexed =(

**HeavyShadow** · 02-14-2009, 09:15 PM

6' tall 17.5" arms cold flexed. Honestly, I think they're pretty small for my size. Would like to gain another inch or two.

True True, I don't fully blame my gentics. I beleive in 75% nutrition 23% exercise, 2% gentics. The 2% is what determines who is hyuge or just ripped, but either way, I will hit my 17 inch arms cut. ty for motivation/reminder!

**blancmange** · 02-15-2009, 04:16 AM

Depending on his height, they look a lot bigger than 15s. I have 14.5"-15" arms and mine don't look that big, but then i'm 6'5".

are you serious? There is no tri and the bicep is flat as a pancake.. Even the unpeakiest of arms still bunches up a little bit

**L J** · 02-15-2009, 04:39 AM

I'm 5,9 with 16's, look pretty small in clothes tho, need to be about 17 i'd think to stand out

**clive** · 02-15-2009, 05:14 AM

Again it all depends on your build, 17 inch arms can look very impressive on a small/medium build, but on a big guy nothing special.
I had 17 inch arms a couple of years ago when I was only 160 pounds, (pictured.)
I've filled out everywhere else a bit since then, but strangely my arms haven't actually grown that much more.

Yeah i was impressed, i have 16.1 cold and flexed, after a great bis and tris session last week i measured them straight after and they were at 17.3 pumped and flexed

i did take an NO supplement before the workout though (aids pumps) i reckon that helped lulz but still

felt great

**Usman_08** · 02-15-2009, 06:13 AM

So, baisically if your taller your arms have to be larger than a shorter guys to look as big. 5 foot 9 guy with 16" arms looks much bigger than 6 foot 3 guy with 16" arms and a similar build.

Im bulkin for another 2 months. Would be interesting to hear gains you guys have got in that kinda time frame. What do you think would be a realistic expectation for arm growth in 2 months guys ? I understand everyones different, just a general idea please. Cheers

Going off that picture alone, his biceps look very good and his triceps can hardly be seen. What's his username?

**DaPlasurNDaPain** · 02-15-2009, 06:19 AM

Mine is supposed to be 17.5 but is 16 cold, not far off now.
