I guarantee if you have 16 inch arms, 90+% of the general public will think you are huge. the misc, maybe half will think its big
If he's got even a few muscles, I say they're 20 inches as a matter of course. I figure not one is going to come at him with a damn tape measure in a general conversation.

6’0 going to bed height. 21 inches clavicle width. I can’t really remember if this is it though as I measured it a while ago. I’ll remeasure later if I can remember. I’m wide as **** and have a nice v taper because of my shoulders.

6'0 and 21 inch wide clavicles is perfect!
Also, those with wide clavicles can get away with having a little belly fat, because their shoulders are so wide their waists appear small.
21 inch clavicles is well over average, which i believe is 18 inches for an adult in the US

You look around 16-16.5 max, bro.. In your other photos where you also had a t-shirt, you look different.

Doesn't really matter to me how many inches my arms are, as long as they're in direct proportion to the rest of my physique tbh

But 20 inch arms is essentially like having a mini football in your bis/tris.

Agreed with the proportion part. Having 20 inch arms is good but if you have narrow tiny shoulders or chicken legs or a pigeon chest to go with it it will look weird. you need to be built all over

Last time I was single digit BF% (maybe 2 years ago) arms measured at 19" cold. I have all of my other measurements recorded in my training journal.. I would have to dig it out and see where I was everywhere else. 2020 has definitely been a fkng whore for gains (or fat lose) but whatever... back on the grind by any means necessary


And nothing to do with being lean but 20"+ in this pic for sure.... lol... @ 270ish lbs

6'2" @ 247lbs

6'3", 250 pounds, with 19"-ish arms. Definitely not as lean as I want them to be, and to get legit 20 inch biceps, it will take a decent amount of time. If I leaned out, I'd say I'd be at 18.25" Biceps. To get to a legit 20" plus, I think it would take 3-5 years of time. You could get 20" fatceps pretty easily, but they will look like chit.
