    average bicep size?

    hey dudes...im on my 1st cycle here 6'4 200 22 Y.0 about 7-8% bf....Heres my question even before I really wroked out hard I was always told I had pretty big arms, larger than would be usual for a lanky guy I guess, well right now after working out and starting a cycle they measure about 16.25'' cold with a stretched tape measure..which I think are pretty decent sized arms nothing wonderful though, anyway i hear a lot of dudes that dont really look all that big claiming 17 18 ever in some cases 20 inch arms.. I was just wonde3ring what the norm is for a lean under 10 % bf arm?

    Bump to that! Never compare yourself to "average." It's a dirty word.

    Those blood pressure machines at the grocery store say that this cuff is made for the average 13" arm. I was 19 1/4" now in my sixth week of dieting I am 18 3/4"

    It does not matter how big they are. it's all how proportion they are with the rest of your body.

    For example some one my hight 5.3 would have 11-12 inch arms. Mine are 16.25 so at my size they look big to people. To my self they look small. Most of us on the form that heavy in bb'ing are arms will all was look small to us.

    Mine are just at 18" with no pump, but for whatever reason they look small to me when my arms are just hanging, I guess bigger forearms do that? With a pump my arms actually grow another inch, I find it funny.

    matters on the rest of your body. i have 17.25-17.75's and i'm 5'9" 225. they look big because they aren't long. but remember that average is the guy at mcdonalds for breakfast every morning.
