'I believe it is possible to build 19 inch arms naturally on a guy who has an average frame and is 5-9 tall. Possible but difficult.'
Personally I have never in my life witnessed such a feat however I would not discount it completely.
I'm 6'4' and at 23/23 yrs old I was sitting around 14-16%bf. I had never touched gear until that point but started bb at 19 - so a late starter.
My arms were 12 inches when I began - I'm long limbed but with a pretty massive frame. By 22 yrs old my arms were just a touch under 18 inches cold and like i say bf was still 14-16%. I'm pretty sure that had my bf been around 5-10% my arms would have been, I would guess at least an inch smaller but what I'm getting at is that from absolutely no training and in the so called peak of my life in terms of natural testosterone I grew my arms around 6 inches in 3-4 yrs. I'm no genetic marvel by any means but there are others out there that are - particularly some of the polynesians I have known. So what I'm saying is - with the right genetics and training at just the right time when you are in the peak of your natural hormone production and doing everything right in terms of training - maybe, just maybe it is possible - not probable - but possible.
What I do know from my personal experience is that once my arms had naturally got to just on 18 inches I could not get them to grow beyond that - no matter what i did. Looking back I could have done things better trainingwise but given that i was growing pretty well all round anyway changes in training style would probably have only resulted in incremental improvements at best.
you know i do not like to sound digrading to younger fellas that intrest in bodybuild,, but since my pupils do such good job of answering this balonie... lol i will answer this one myself,,
do you ever read what you say in your post?
you are a fuckin ANTENA,, YOU NEED TO HAVE 18 INCH ARMS TO LOOK NORMAL! ,, 6'4 IS VERY VERY VERY TALL FELLA,, OFCOURSE YOU CAN HAVE 18 INCH NATURALY AND EVEN 19 INCH NATURALY ,,
for you to even look at you will hav eto have 20 inch arms ,, dont you get it ? with 18 inch arm you will look like twink at 6'4 unless you are really shredded to the capital S even then 18 will look too small on 6'4
18 inch shredded belong on 5'9 5'10 fellas maybe 5'11 maybbbbbe 6 feet thats it ,,
when you see 200lb fella 5'10 18 inch ripped....THEN you know he is a bodybuilder...or fitness model or whatever,, 6'4 18 and 19 dont cut it my friend,,
when you got 200lb fella 5'10 18 inch arms and those usualy the ones with bad arm genetic ...you firstly know they are hormonized ofcourse because they will look like walking heart attack lol im kidding here but they will look like conditioned bodybuilder ,, their condition will look great and at 200lb they will look much bigger and very conditioned inorder to make this 200lb appear impressive
all this fellas i see around that say they are 240 18 inch arms...that doesnt cut it my friends,, 18 inch arms on bodybuilder should be there when bodybuilder is 200lb actualy 195... whne bodybuilder is 220-230 he should already have 19-19.5 inch arm,,, and it grow on and on from there,, and the heights im talking about are 5'9 to 6 feet not even 1 inch over
