What percentile are you based on this chart? Biceps circumference, flexed

Random fun fact: Arthur Jones measured Arnold's arms when they were pumped, and they taped out at 19 3/4 inches.
So please, if you are going to claim 19 inches lean, provide pics

I haven't directly trained my arms in years, if really ever consistently.

Shocked to see I'm in the 95th percentile based on this old chart.

Literally only kettlebell swings, snatches, and Turkish getups for the last few years.

There should be a seperate chart, one for the average non lifting joes, and one for lifters

Theres a good video, finding the biggest arms in the UK bodypower expo. Smallest was 16.9 inches, biggest was like 19 ish inches.Check out the monster at 7:20, 48 cm or close to 19 inches

99th (16inch) and I rarely train biceps (5'6" @73kgs). My arms arnt even that big, this chart must be for the global non lifting community
Athletics > Aesthetics
I guess its time to start training again.

The chart is actually for untrained 12yo
Everyone who got their guns measured in this video were around 44-50 cm. Thats 17.3 inches - just over 19 inches. Most these guys are lean, fit, most likely juicers who have dedicated their lives to this and some have bbc genetics

All it takes is 15.5" lean biceps to be in the 99th percentile? 95% of the misc should be on that list.

Yep. Do you go out to public places outside of the gym often? Sometimes we spend so much time reading bb books, videos, on misc, at gym etc then we go out to the regular world and everyone is so tiny
