15". Normie are impressed easily

18" for /fit/

I agree with you mate.

I think the perfect size is 16-17 inches.

16

Depends on your body, but anywhere from 14-16 inches.

Normies have low as fuck standards, and your average male has stick arms.
>>
>>36203285
TFW 6'1" and 14" arms
>>
>>36203302
this, i am 6'3" and have 15" arms. to me they look like spagetti but normies get impressed
>>
15" for normies
17" for most of /fit/
18" if you're tall. Tough shit lanklets
>>
Do you measure your arm when it's flexed or non flexed?
>>
>>36206114
flexed

To OP I'm at 16.5" or some shit, and Normies get impressed
>>
>>36206078
So wait a second
Not only is it harder to get wider arms but they also have to be even wider than the short guy
That's fucked
>>
>>36203285

> normie standards

16 inches seem very fucking big to normies

15 inches seem decent to normies

> fit standards

18 inches is pretty fucking big to fit guys

17 is considered decent to fit guys
>>
>>36203285
Tfw 13.5" and get compliments all the time. Most guys my age have twig arms or fatceps
>>
>>36203285
>Average
>6ft

It all depends on how lean you are. If you have a decent amount of muscles mass and are about 15% or less body fat, you will have a nice cut where your bicep bulges out. 15 inch arms with cut biceps give the illusion of being "bigger" than 15 inch fatceps
>>
>>36206338

That is pathetic, you and whoever compliments you
>>
>>36206292
Seems about right

My arms are 15.5 inches and look pretty good to people
>>
>>36206244
Think of it as more room to put muscle on. Plus, you have to be proportionally bigger to look impressive, not just objectively
>>
How do I grow my arms?
>>
>>36203285
6' 2"
11-12% BF at 16 inches
Normies very impressed especially if I wear a good fitting shirt

You can probably get mires even at 14 or 15 in

Vascularity plays a big role too, definitely makes your arms pop and you know they're not fatceps

suck it up, sasquatch

>you have to have 18 inch arms to impress /fit:

18 inch arms are the fucking natty limit. So you're telling me to at least impress all you neckbeard I have to be maxed out at natty limit lmao?
>>
>>36206244
Well, at least you have a statistically longer life due to lower likelihood of committing suicide over being a manlet. Pros and cons.

Try lifting?

Specifically, triceps and biceps exercises.
>>
>>36203285
Relative heights are king here.

18+ inch arms on a natural man who is between 5'10" and 6'6" is huge.
15-17 inch arms on someone who's 5'4" -5'9" is huge.


Anything above and below that is entering into freak territory and I have no idea how things work there.
>>
>>36206608

17 looks already very decent to /fit/.

18 would be mind-blowingly mirin hard for fit.

Yeah, 18 is definetely the natty limit
>>
I have 17.5 inch arms because my forearms are 13 inches and im 6'2 they look small

What about calves, team? What size calves would you say are inpressive by

I have 13.75"(i never even do isolations for arms so that explains it) and normies always mire because im low bf, have defined arms, and have a few veins poping out.
My advice to you is focus on overall physique more and youll get mired instead of turning into some rich piano freak with oversized arms.

A for effort though buddy.

Bro I am 6'3 too. I have just over 15'' flexed. Are you talking flexed or non flexed?
>>
>16 inch arms, 13 forarms
Do larger forearms make biceps look smaller?
>>
How tf do you measure your arms by yourself?
>>
>>36207952
With measuring tape and your left hand? Are you retarded or something?

Its hard as hell to wrap it around your own arm

kek
>>36208090
drop the tape over the top of your arm and adjust from the bottom, instead of going from back to front.
>>
>>36208136
That actually worked pretty well. Maybe I am retarded.

16'' biceps but still 6'3 and they dont look big.

I have to cut about 15-20 more lbs How much size do you guys lose off your bis on a cut?
>>
>>36203948
I also know that exact feel.

As long as you aren't fat, it should be the same measurement regardless.

The first day you started lifting was the day you became forever small

>>36203285
I have 16 inch arms at 5foot 10 inches. I think they look small and disproportionate to my body but normies compliment them when I wear short sleeves
>>
>>36203285
I'm 6ft tall with 16 inch arms, long bicep heads with low peaks.

My arms are bigger than everyones except the fat guys(and girls) and the guys that look like they lift.

No one has ever casually commented on my arms.
>>
>>36203285
Depends on body type and your environment. I'm 6'4" with 18" arms at 12%. Normies are impressed but I'm not sure about fit people.
>>
when people measure arms do they do it flexed?

and is it just measured around the biggest part of the bicep?

thx

Cold, flexed, biggest part.

Yeah ain't that just a bitch, 5'11" 17.5in arms, ain't nobody miring but the senpai. STRETCH MERKS AND ALL
>>
>>36206244
yep. I'm 6'3 and mine are 19 inches. my shirts are only a bit snug around my arms.

it all has to do with the arm length/curcumfrence ratio. but standing next to a manlet makes him look like a child.

good news is that we have greater space to put more muscle.
>>
>>36204436
>i am 6'3" and have 15" arms. to me they look like spagetti but normies get impressed
No they don't.
>>
>>36210342

thx again
>>
>>36210356
agreed, I'm same height and have 19 inch biceps. peo9le say I'm big but never has anybody said I have big arms.
>>
>>36203285
If you're under 6 foot I don't care what your standards are or what your arm size is.

6 and over - I would say 17" inches is big to both /fit/ and normie. Any less and you still have work to do.
>>
>>36203302
Yep, I'd even say 13-14, mine are close to 15 and everyone is impressed, dad told me to stop putting on weight now LMAO no thanks DYEL dad
