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.

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.

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

Good stuff. But if you are as fat as that, don't upload any pics for the next 6 - 10 months unless you fuck up your diet or hit teh juice ;D

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.
