    16" arms good on a 200lb 5'11 21 year old I'd say I'm around 15%bf?

    Opinions on progress please

    Started at 5'11 150 lb 2years ago my arms measured 14" or alil under on a pump now cold there 16" on a pump 16 1/4" - 16 1/2"

    I'm all triceps and don't have much of a peek, I've been bulking the whole 2years all tho I've got held up Afew times due too job and etc. but going for 210lb by spring and don't plan on stoping till I get too 17" arms cold.

    What yal guys thank?

    I am still one of the guys who is focused on arms size. I know this is not the true proper way of body building. Body building is just that, not arms building.

    But, I still like having larger arms compared to most.


    I would say 16" is mediocre at best. When I started lifting I had 14 1/4" arms now I am at 18" on a full pump at 16-18%Bf.


    I am not stopping until I get to 12% or so body fat and 20" bazookas.


    Seems attainable, currently I am weighing in @ 220.

    I agree like I said I'm all tri's no peak I'm nearly 16" with my arms down at my sides, my friend can get 18" on a pump he's slightly bigger than me bout 10lbs but until we flex we look almost the same size arms..how long have you been lifting? I feel like at 17" my arms would look good size even at 215lbs because I started out so slim I can hold weight at slow bf% perty well

    Originally started about 7 years to ago. Went on and off since I didn't know much at all the time. Got to 15.5"+ all natural in 2-3 years. Stopped for a bit, didn't get anywhere else.

    Then about a year ago I started the sauce - I just started to blow up until now. Now I am at a standstill and can't budge at the moment. I am sitting at this size and just trying to think of the best way to stay growing again.

    16" arms aren't bad, look at some guys out there thy have been lifting for a while with small arms. I'm at 16.25 and that was before lifting. Tho I transitioned from rock climbing...

    Damn it, I need 20" Bazookas.


    Seriously, I am set on this. People don't bring it up much on here just because of proportioning.

    Yet again, again the BB grain. But, you want em'? Get em". Hit the arms hard(tri's even more than bi's). Lift heavy, with low reps. This is what I used to get to where I'm at.

    Bad ass, lol. . . .

    Solid for sure. . . How big are your arms just to compare? Your strength is still at 30-40% more than mine. Your deads are insane!
