Is 14 inch arms small 5'10 male

[DeathEdgeSlayer]

I'm 20, 5'10 male and have 14 inch arms. Are they big?

I'm 170lbs probably 15% bodyfat, can see top 2 rows of abs. 23.5 inch thighs, 15.5 inch calves, 40 inch chest, 30.8 inch waist belly button, but small asf arms.

I train biceps 2 times a week currently used to do 3 before lockdown. I train very intensly in it. I do pull ups and rows to help it. Can do about 15kg additional weight on my pull ups for 4-5 reps full ROM.

For my triceps I literally do bench press at 85kg for 3 reps (best record when I was 200lbs roughly I had 3 rep 100KG bench press before lockdwon) twice a week, 1 dip a week, 1 overhead press a week, incline twice a week. That's all my triceps.

Flexed or unflexed?

Well I have 15" arms (flexed) and people often say they look massive. They also tend to be really lean at all times (I carry all my fat around my waist) so it's somewhat of an illusion. I'm twice your age, so based on that I would say 14 inch arms on a 20 year old male is pretty decent.

Very similar stats to me. Same weight but I'm 5'9" and I have 14.25 inch arms but also I'm at about 20% with a 34 inch waist and I hate it lol. But I'm planning on bulking for a few extra months till I hopefully start pushing 15 inch arms. Then I'll cut till I can see my abs.

Take a look at my biceps and tell me if you think they're small.

I'd say no. Yours aren't small. They're decent to a bodybuilder and probably big to the average person as I've been told I got massive by a skinny guy (probably because I used to be his size).

I don't think I look anything special. And I think leaness definitely plays a big role on how big someone looks. If my bodyfat was 10% I'd probably look big to most people.

Flexed

You are doing lots of compound excercises which is good. If you want bigger arms, you'll need to do isolation excercises as your compound movements are not working your biceps/triceps enough. This likely means your chest and back are lacking and need to catch up.

Ah well I am doing curls for my arms. I do drop sets as well.

I probably need to incorporate skull crushes and more tricep based exercises really.

When I benched 3 times a week it was too much on my joint so it's down to 2. I still do incline press, dips, and OH press so I don't think It's not because I'm benching enough. Probably a case of time really. I incorporate drop sets or anything challenging in an exercise to failure.

Def not, I'm 5'9 and I also got 14 inch biceps flexed. I'm 150lbs and about 9% body fat and I'm about 17 years old. I've gotten compliments on my arms before. It's not considered "super big" but no where near small. Your good dude )/

When you are out in public and women that you don't know come up to you and feel your arms, you've got big arms. It happens to me.

That's also a decent amount to bench. I do about 85lbs of 12 reps.
