You do know that an arm is a three dimensional object with no sides, it has length, width and depth.- Good try - but your theory does work on 2 dimensional cartoons.

True, but let's be real...

So top to bottom is 7... So that's 14.

Let's say that his width is 1/2 his height.

That's 3 + 3... 6

So that's 20... so let's add in a 1/2 an inch of play top and bottom and you still get 21.

That is probably relatively close to accurate.

There's no way that there's an extra 5-6 inches floating around unseen.

I tried it with my under 17" arm. It's about 7 inches tall (or you can see 7 inches from the front to be more precise). The same as with Mike here.  ;D ;D ;D

obviously, but my point is 7 and 7 is 14 and already cutting into the depth a tad, so still pretty dumb to think the remaining depth is 12-13 inches. Just messing with you anyway. I don't think you thought that. realistically 20 inches is pushing it.

A very common practice observed with tape measures was that the measure was cut several inches taken out and then taped together to show readers of magazines that 26 inch arms are possible with xyz supplement.  Complete BS.

If someone claims to have arms 22" inches or greater, just compare their arms to their head.   The average circumference of a mans head is 22".  If the persons arm clearly looks smaller than his head, then it's likely less than a 22" arm.  Quinn has a bit larger head, say 23", but looking at the picture his arms are not as big as his head, so no even 23" let alone 26".

was mike tall? Don't forget height plays a huge role. I can show you guys pics of my arms 16 17 inchs at around 6'3 and let me tell you they wernt pretty lol. Cut. But boy... I never got when I was younger how arnold or so on only had 20 or others 22 inchs lol. When ur taller than most those guys you realize you need 26 to look decwnt. I guess look at kovacs he was 26 inchs? My 16 or I remember 15 inchs on me looked like 12 inchs of a normal height non orking out person.
