You’re a male stripper/callboy?
Just kidding, brother 
Nice!
I measured in at 16" flexed, cold about a month ago at 6’-1" & 195lbs.
My bi’s have a tendency to grow faster then the rest of my body; so I took a few months off to get my chest/shoulders to catch up.
I wanted to keep a good ratio.
That was MY way of handling the situation, I’m sure X and a ton of other guys here would have another way to work the ratio.

I’m not saying they’re 18 cold, but when I flex them that’s what they measure. Is this the incorrect arm measuring protocol?
All arm measurements in bbing are taken flexed.
Unless you’re arthur jones, of course. He had to do it differently so that he could claim that people lie about their arm size big time.
Besides, how tall are you again?
Edit: Triceps and Delts are lagging imo (no offense meant), and could you please put on something decent ;D[/quote]
Good work, man. I was beginning to get the feeling that no one here even took this that seriously.
It is great to see people who actually stand out in a crowd…especially if you wear that get up on a regular basis.
I thought the Justice League at least had you wear a shirt unless you were Hawkman.
My biceps, much my legs, benefit from my genetics. Despite my dad’s stringy build, he always had a crazy bicep peak. His entire arm was rail thin but when he flexed it looked like a snake that swallowed a baseball.

Don’t know size, but from the majority of pics I’m guessing 17.5-18ish. Maybe one day I’ll measure.
Just measure them yourself, by the way no way they are 18 maybe 16

Lol. Yep you’re correct.
I just wanted to see the responses. But 16.25 hot.
I got a long way to go

That sounds just like my Dad! He is skinny as hell… but he can make a bicep pop out of bone…
good work!
looks like the delts may be lagging a little though… maybe you’re just not flexing them. great job with the bi’s though.
my arms are painfully out of proportion (in the small variety) with the rest of my body. my next workout is going to have solely an arms day. hopefully i can report similar results this time next year
good work kid.
I’m 158 with 16.1 inch arms. i tell ppl and hey dnt believe cos they say i’m too light. here’s a pic. what do you all think?

I think you shouldn’t run around telling people you have 16.1 inch arms.
…all i do is say the fact.ppl say they look impressive and i guess since im not too tall, my proportions make them look big.i could run around telling lies but whats the point?thats my size and i tell it like it is.aint nobody running around.
by the way i just looked at some of your pictures.no comment…
In my opinion, and I’m sure I’ve stated it before,… unless you’re on the tall side, anything over 16" looks pretty impressive. When I started training, my arms measured 14" and I weighed 150 lbs at 5’9 (I was 20). When they hit 16" (and I recall quite vividly how huge I thought I was -lol), I weighed about 185. When I hit 17", I was around 195/200. At my largest, 215/220 lbs, I didn’t even realize I had reached 18" until my brother convinced me to measure again (I would have been happy at 17 even if they never grew again).
16" is more than just looking ‘athletic’. I don’t think anyone can look at you and not assume that you hit the weights. With that said,… maybe it’s the bad photo (what is it with you guys and not being able to take a decent pic?!), but it doesn’t look over 16" to me.

I don’t care what I look like, I’m making my own progress… you just said you run around telling people your arm size. I found that funny so I did a little jab at you. Didn’t think it’d make you cry.

Dunno Stu… My arms didn’t look like much when relaxed at 16 inches. They did however look fairly impressive when flexed (considering my size at that time) in a front doube-bi.
I think that’s all way too individual… My issue started to resolve itself sometime between 17 and eighteen inches, though 17 still didn’t look like anything in a relaxed state.
And if you look at Austin, at his height and structure+attachments he has quite a disadvantage compared to guys like you or onemorerep. Leanness won’t fix that either at this stage. He simply needs more size and some focus on the tris.
And knowing him, I’m pretty damn sure that he won’t be thwarted by that and he’ll get there in the not-so-distant future…

This thread is about * 17 * …

Whatever the actual measurement is, arms look pretty damn solid to me.
Good job dude.

Stu - thanks for chiming in. I never knew your height-- thought you were shorter for some reason
Where are you now in terms of weight/arms?
Based on what you wrote, I’m tracking about 15 or so pounds heavier (ie fat heavier…) than you for arm size vs height. Going from 17 to 18 were you a bit bulkier then lean down, or what was your M.O.?
josh86, good job dude you arms are definately over 17"
