Are 18" arms considered big?

ad

I'm about 197lbs 30 inch waist bf is around 13-15%. Would 18 inch arms be considered big in your opinion? There's so many dudes out there with 20+ makes me feel kinda small. Thanks

I think a lot depends on how small a shirt guys are wearing.lol.

I think it has a lot to do with your build.. Guys with slimmer frames would look huge with 18s even if they're tall.. I think if your not built for 20 inch arms sometimes it can look like a bit of over kill.. Reminds of that mike/situation guy from jersey shore.. Yeah his arms are big but it looks friggen retarded

Yes I agree with this. It your lean, 18's can look like 21's on a short wide guy

you have to remember the guys that have 20 plus inch arms have higher body fat if those guys did a contest and brought there body fat below ten those arms are gonna shrink its rare to find guys that are below 10 percent and still have 20 plus arms

What's a good calf size? Mine are currently 19" and I feel like they are plenty big. 18" bis are good size for your heighth especially if they're cut and veiny.

Depends on height man. I hit 18 before breaking damn elbows. At 5-4 it was Hella big. At 6-0 its not.
