Is 16-17 inch arms at 10% BF the limit for natty bodybuilding?

Pretty sure anyone who can see 17+ on the tape is juicing. Maybe if you are 6'2+ tall you can exceed that.

When I say the limit that includes genetics. An average height 5'10 has never ever seen the number 17 in contest shape. Agree?

contest conditioning is completely different from 10%, especially for a natural. a natural will be flat as hell when natural and at 5%, ignore layne norton's look because he's obviously on something. for a natural to go down to 5% it's exceedingly difficult, but 17 inch arms at 10% isn't unrealistic

Yeah, I'd say 17 inch arms is about the absolute most a natty can get, and that's with better than average genetics. I'd say 16 to 16.5 inches is what the genetically average natty can hope for after years of hard training and dieting.
