18in, according to my Tailor.
I never cared for measuring since I went soley by the mirror.

I do not believe that he didn't measure his arms.

I always assumed Shawn had 20'' arms, they look insanely big to me, at least as big as Dorian's arms

Yo, the sport is all Illusion.
Do the math.
I competed at basically 210lbs my Off season weight went up to 235lbs
Sometimes they may hve pushed 20in but who cares, that had to be when I was off season, heavy for me, smooth, fat and carrying excess water.
Now fast forward 12 weeks, I lose basically 20-25lbs, temporarily.
Water, Fat, size it all comes off. Your left with detail, proportion and balance all of which when combined with a Pump, Oil, Tanning and the proper Lighting can make for an incredible Illusion of MASS!
At the end of the day, I never cared, the judges want to see the finished product.
We are scored on Appearance not Measurements so I never wasted my time then and now I wont waste my time here.
If you dont know, now you KNOW!
Peace,
S. Ray
Shawn tbh your arms looked as big as Dorian's, yes bodybuilding is an illusion, tbh you were possibly the best bodybuilder ever, but that's debatable

His arms were big enough to be talked about decades after his competitive days.

his contest ready non-pumped arm was probably a tad under 19 inches

check this out...

I’ve personally measured the arms of the hulking individuals listed below. All of them had placed in the top eight of a recent show, and the measurements were taken about ten days after the show, presumably when they were at their biggest from all of the post-competition carbs ingested.

BODYBUILDER A
Height: 6’0"
Weight: 286 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 20.62"
BODYBUILDER B
Height: 5’3"
Weight: 228 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 20.25"
BODYBUILDER C
Height: 5’7"
Weight: 214 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 19.62"
BODYBUILDER D
Height: 5’11"
Weight: 258 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 18.9"
If I published pictures of these bodybuilders, you’d see that Bodybuilders A and D were famous for their leg development, while Bodybuilders B and C sported larger arms in relation to their lower bodies, which were still quite well-developed by any standard.

bb B is lee priest and his arm was 20.25 inches 10 days post contest

bb A might be dillet and bb D is milos sarcev i'd say

20inch calves

An 18" arm is gigantic if it's muscle at his weight of 210lbs.  Far too many fat guys say they have a 20" arm when it's a fat blob. MY grandma had 20" arms too when she was 80.

there is a correalation between bodyweight and arm size 99 percent of the time, that's why i always laugh when a 220lb. pro claims 22 inch arms, hahahaha, ok. ::)

If I recall Eddie Robinson's arms were measured at 20.5 inches at 220 pounds and his arms looked massive on his frame

this

an arm measurement only counts when you are 4-6% bodyfat

get to 4-6% then tell me what your arms measures

Image how big Flex Wheeler arms would be if he got to 6%, given he claimed 0% bodyfat.

Lee Priest was true when he claimed he had the same arm measurement as the taller guys.

A legit 20 inch lean arm is huge

In general arms really start looking big at 17 inches especially if your waist is under 32 inches

20 inch arms with a 40+ inch waist? Thanks but no thanks

Regardless of what they measured Shawn's arm's were very impressive
and looked big.
