Now around 18.5.
I usualy dont measure it. But since you guys talk a lot about this, i did.

19

10 inch biceps here, up from 9 inches 1 year ago.
-
Don't you know every getbigger has 24" arms cold unflexed?
-
I'm only 17.25 :( Though I don't isolate my arms in training
-
so, how do you measure , flexed or not flexed?

Cold flexed

Cold flexed
hardcore

The question needs to be qualified... is this at the top of a bulk or with single-digit bodyfat? Arm measurements will vary a lot between the two. Also, flexed or relaxed, cold or pumped?
The people who just pop out a number when asked this have probably never even measured. ::)
-
i guess everybody knows the measure counts only if its cold+flexed+not pumped
-
I think I have to settle with 15 if my bodyfat would be below 5%. :-\
-
hardcore
I wish :( They are seriously lacking in comparison to my legs, though I train for strength, not size. I'm not hugely bulked, though I'm not single digits either. The size of my arms only varies once I lose or gain about 8-10lb, otherwise they just sit at 17.25 cold flexed. I might do some curls and push downs over the summer when I have more time to train, hopefully grow them a bit. How about you?

Yeh, if I ever got that depleted I could see my arms losing a good bit :-\

So how 'bout dieted down or bulked? Some of these perma-bulkers toss out impressive sounding numbers, but they'd have shit with less body fat. Squadfather is the perfect example. He can claim 18 or 19 or whatever, but if he lost the 100 lbs of blubber he needs to his arms would be scrawny.

how about normal? i know theres a difference between perma bulkers and dieted guys, so the sceneario should be normal, not dieting, not bulking, aka having a life.

I agree. Not everyone goes on crazy bulks or cuts
-
how about normal?
Everyone's "normal" is different, depending on their genetics and "normal" diet/exercise regimen. Maybe they should list bf% along with arm measurement, which would make the arm measurement more meaningful.
-
from 20% to 10% the bicep aint gonna decrease that much, am i wrong?

I know what you mean, but then most people's body fat distribution varies. When I put on weight it always goes to my hips first and so I don't tend to have fat arms, though my waist could be a little chubby. Other people could be the opposite. I'd say the easiest way to distinguish would be something similar to what benz just said, cold flexed, below 10%, 10-20% or above 20%? Most people won't know their exact BF % anyways and also, even if they did, there's a good chance it's wrong :)
-
from 20% to 10% the bicep aint gonna decrease that much, am i wrong?
Yes, you're wrong. I get up to a 1 1/2" difference between 14-15% which is the highest I ever go, and 8% or so which is what I try to maintain if I'm not bulking. I imagine the difference is even greater for those that swing from 20%+ to 5% contest shape.
-
17'' cold over 18" pumped. ;D
-

Fair point. Maybe some people don't get much of a variance.
-

I'm lean and natural
-
Don't you know every getbigger has 24" arms cold unflexed?

Do you think he'd be named Gay Hitler in MattCocks fantasy?
-

41cm flexed but not sure unflexed, maybe 35?
-
18.5" cold flexed.
I'm lean and natural
Keep telling that to yourself ::)
-

Don't know.... I once emailed Jay and he replied that with the help of Matt's business expertise the stockmarket-value of "Naturecoated-Cutler-ThongsTM" literally exploded.
-
so 16 inches flexed.. .. and 35cm is 13.8 inches ... nope your thinking like me ...i thought my arm would be much bigger cold and unflexed too. i am thinking at 16 inches flexed your probably about 11 inches unflexed and cold. depending on your body fat of course.
-
Keep telling that to yourself ::)
ill post a pic to illustrate kid
-
Now around 18.5.
You're a liar. In the pics I've seen of you, your arms don't hit 17" even with a tennis ball lodged between your skin and the tape measure.
-

How about your arms, candidildo, how big do yours measure cold, unflexed?

Depends. It's all relative to your body type, and in a lot of respects it's about illusion. Some people (like myself and Alex23) have shoulders and torsos disproportionately bigger than our arms, meaning that even a 20"+ arms looks "smaller" on that kind of frame than it would on somebody who has a bird chest.

So they've grown an inch and a half since you've been on the juice?

Try it both ways, cold unflexed and flexed. You should change it up often so as not to get stale in your measurement technique.

i dont know how people claim 18.5 cold, 20" pumped.
My arms are good for 1.25 inches with the pump-used to go up 1.5 inches with the pump.
The real kicker is when I would hit the juice, could add 1.5 inches onto the cold and pumped measurements. Incredible reaction to the juice.

yeah i have a similar blocky build to what you describe :( broad, strong torso, wide waist and stocky legs, but small arms 'in comparison' (they are still small though keke)
