I actually have 16.5 inches flexed, and my arms are small af still. I'm gonna say 18 LEAN is when you've landed some big ass arms. Height is also gonna play a big factor too.

>>39214838
Fatceps don't count.
>>39214813
At 6'2 I've accepted that arms will never look 'big' unless I'm roiding or 230lb+ so I just train them proportionately.

Cos if u want to actually grow your arms you have to isolate them 2-3 times a week. Bench press is a stupid meme.

>>39216209
i started with 9 inch arms senpai

>42 cm/16.5inches
>6 ft

Started with 36cm arms. Only ever got compliments for my biceps and traps nothing else really (and mainly because fat hardly stores on my arms at all). At most bis were 46cm, that was mostly triceps popping out the side from surfing but my bis really did get longer and fuller easy with incline curls and preacher bench.

I may be brosciencing a bit but I think you really need wider triceps at the bottom first before you target bis so they have something solid to push against when contracted.

>>39216412
Which of your listed exercises uses biceps and Triceps?

At most you get a bit from Ohp.

Maybe your pathetic arms will grow when you stop lifting pathetic weights

I reckon anything over 15 inches can be considered big by a normie.
I think 13.5 inches is the average male arm size, and obviously bf and height will affect how a 15 inch arm looks.

My arms are currently 15.5 inches, probs will be 15 after I get to my weight loss goal.
Back in high school when I first started to lose weight / workout I had 16.5 inch fatceps; since barely anyone worked out everyone thought I was swole af.

>>39216597

Tfw 17 inches flex but youre 6'5 so they still look small

>>39216791

your forearm is large compared to your upper arm, which helps make the whole arm look big.

>>39216412

i got to those numbers after 15 months of gym (starting with the bar for many lifts), so those lifts aren't going to indicate large arms.

15inches here. 5'7. I get compliments on my arms all the time. Triceps are essential for having good arms.

I feel bad for tall people, it's so hard to get thicc.

18 and change but i'm a little under 20% bodyfat

when it comes to arm size muh genetics is a real factor, my arms went from ~13 to 16 in my first year and change of lifting and i have stretchmarks on my forearms, elbows, and biceps from gaining mass

Normies will literally think 14-15"+ arms at <12%bf are big
I'd say anything over 16.5 lean is pretty impressive
18" lean and other numbers quoted are fucking huge and unattainable unless you're 6'6+ or roiding and training very seriously. Iirc Arnold was 19"

>>39217656
You're embarrassingly weak for your size and likely fat
14" (was 15" before sickness) and I can curl 44s fairly easily with good form

>>39214813
I'd say 18 is when they're irrevocably noticeable. 20 and no can't notice.

tfw my 17.5 inch arms should be impressive except i'm at roughly 18% bf so they look fat

sad fatceps permabulk man

Do more reps. Biceps get hit best on the eccentric motion. My arms didn't really start to increase till I did heavy negatives and ended every arm day with an intense burn out

No, they are not. There's a video about how arm position changes which head is dominant in the triceps exercises, but I can't find it right now. Over the head, straight down and backwards all work it different. Definitely want to be doing cable push downs every arm day.

Had 18.75 inch arms as a natural at 18 but at 6'3" and a bodyfat of 20+% it wasn't that impressive in my opinion.
I also hated how every single shirt I owned was so fucking tight around my arms.

Does fit know that most women like "bulk" men, but you shouldn't be too bulk if you want most woman's attention. If you have no interest in getting laid super easily go ahead and get as big as you want. Honestly having muscle still makes it easy getting laid but not as easy
