19" arms

I've asked this question on another board, thought I would get some input from you guys. Out of guys that lift, how common do you think a arm size of 19" or bigger is. I know shape and everything makes a diff. on apperance, but I want sheer size, massive arms. Alot of the pros claim they have 22-24 inch arms, I dont expect that but my goal is a good solid 20. I checked out arm size of guys that dont lift and ther puny arms measure around 14-16. What do you think..

19" is BIG in my opinon. i think a lot has to do with genetics. some guys just get big arms with little effort while me... i spent a whole year focusing mainly on my arms and never got a hair over 17.8".

I was around the 17.5 - 18" range for ever it seemed. last spring I measured my rt arm AFTER a WO and it was just under 20'' (19 7/8"). I was shocked because I hadn't measured it in a couple yrs. 5x5's. tren. IGF1 was the difference over the last 2yrs I believe along with other goodies.............11

i

I got 19" also some times they are a tad under some times a tad over. my goal is 21" but it seems I cant get past 19 1/4th or 1/4th under also thats flexed. and since there is only 2 guys in both my gyms i go to with bigger arms than me i would say 19-21 is very uncommon. I have not measured them in like 4 months but i also dont want to hehe i will shit myself better if i wait 3 more months, my trainer buddy at my gym says he can get me 21" arms so we will see. He got me training my triceps more than biceps but i dont know why as my triceps i think are already huge as hell. But I guess its best to take advice from an out side view, because i always thought my dick was big to hehe:).

mine while on get to bout 19, I stick to basic hard simple stuff weighted pullups, ( Bi's) Deads (Forearms) Skulls (Tris) then some cable work,,,

I see lots of fat women with 22-23 in arms I rather have defined 19's then fat 20's anyday.

I know what you mean, there a girl at my work who has bigger triceps than me, looks nasty. My arms are right at 19 cold and after i work out between 19 1/2-3/4. My goal is 20. But I have naturally long arms and wide shoulders, so they dont look big to me, everyone always coments on my arm size, but they look average to me in the mirror. Two years ago the were only 16. But I'm counting on a little help down the road, O YA!

LMAO..."they look average to me in the mirror"...Welcome to wonderful world of complexed bbers who can be 300lbs 12%bf and 6ft and still think they look small in the mirror...I'm not sure where mine are but they are somewhere in the 18's, I don't believe they have hit 19 yet but they're probably close...I think 19's look pretty damn big though judging on my buddy's arms whose got 19's.

Like I said when I look in the mirror I think my arms look small, but like my wife had some picture from a few months back she had taken, and I looked at those and my arms did look pretty f">@# decent. She told me that they look that way all the time.--Maybe I should stop looking in the mirror so much,HAAHa:eek: But I'm still going to hammer them in the gym every week.

D-red for your info a 16 1/2" arm is far from a small arm Mike tysons arm was only 16" at his biggest. and a cutt 16" arm looks way bigger than a fat 18" arm.

The true question is how are you guys measuring them....

I'm sure alot of guys on here have 18-19" ARMS even when not "flexed" but with your arm at a 90degree angle....

Go back and remeasure with your arm relaxed hanging down to your side and see what you get.

Well, Chop, that would be the incorrect way to measure them, now wouldn't it.

No that is Sergio Oliva, he was around back when the OAK was in his prime. I think his arms are impresive.
