they really dont have to be that big, even 15's would look jacked if you are really low bodyfat with some decent insertions, i know people with average arm size that look jacked because they are lean
all about dat illusion

I haven't measured my arms in forever but at my peak they may have been just over 19" at 5'10. Probably in the mid 18s now. I used to maintain 220lbs, now I'm around 210lbs.

I do dedicate a day to arms in my bro split but it's my most low effort/neglected day, if I have to skip a day in the gym I skip arms.

I hate to burst the OP's bubble, but it might never happen.

At just shy of 5'9" and over twenty years of training, I've never gotten 17" arms. Now I don't have the time to dedicate to 8 hour arm workouts and refuse to resort to "Vitamin S" but arms just never responded with size. I dedicated several months to focusing on that weak point and got them up to 16.5 - but the arms just would not go beyond that. I could get my chest above 50", but arms just would not gain size to speak of.

Push and your body will do what your genetics will allow. Yours might do what mine wouldn't. But give it your best efforts and enjoy the results, even if you don't meet your goal. The best thing you can do is focus on doing the best job with what you've got to work with. Gauging by a measuring tape is not going to be the best way to evaluate.

Good luck!

That’s why it’s hilarious when he mentions someone else’s body.

I’d have thought you could manage a close grip quite easily with your narrow clavicles?
