    As to whom said it before, overall body compostion matters to decide.

    a midget with size 15" guns, now thats huge!!
    (IMPRESSIVE)

    A person with high body fat and 20.5" arms has huge arms but its fat not muscle.
    (UNIMPRESSIVE)

    Its all relative to ones height, weight, bf%, shape & contour of the muscle...etc,etc.

    If you want to catergorize normality and freakishness, make weight classes and things of that sort to place people in.
    If you fall under this height w/ this body weight and bf%, = this size arm then you have freaky or huge, or big, or normal sized arms.

    Doubt that happens....
    STATS COMING SOON:Age: 29 | Height: 5'10" | Weight: 78KG/ 172LBS| bf: |Years Training:?? | All-natural: Yes|

    Chest: | Shoulders: | Upper Arm: | Forearm: |
    Waist: |Neck:| Upper Thigh: | Calf: |

    Personal Bests: COMING SOON:
    Flat Barbell Presses: | Dips: |Wide-grip Palms Away: |
    Military Barbell Press: |Barbell Squats: |

    "Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21

    "I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
    So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
    Romans 7:14-25

    Theres a big difference to me on this. 18" arms but no definition is NOT impressive to me at all, not even a little bit.

    Now 18" arms ripped to shreds is incredible. 15" arms totally shredded is also impressive, 16" is pretty big if you ask me, 17" is huge (shredded, 18" is just amazing (for a natural), and 18"+ is just into the freak category.

    He's no doubt massive but he's not all fat,like I told him in a private message you can see that if he dropped about 20-30lbs he'd be a beast.Actually WL the fact that you're that big & strong naturally shows that you don't really need AS to get big and strong.1 question energy wise how does it feel carrying that much size?Do you ever feel exhausted or tire out quickly?

    well. i was asthmatic.. so even when i was much younger before i became active it was a bother.. but i find as i start to do cardio more and more now, the weight doesnt bother me much.. i have pretty strong/large legs so having weight on them doesnt reel feel " no normal". Before i started cardio i had NO running stamina. but i blame that more on my asthma then bing a fat ass. Doing cardio is making a HUGE difference.. the more im doing cardio the more iu can actualy feel it being easier to carry my weight around. Energy wise it doesnt really affect me. If i run out of energy at the gym.. i use will power


    oh.. and big show.. my current goal is to lose alot more then 30 lbs i want to pack on at LEAST 15-20 more # of muscle and end up being under 240lbs. its a hefty goal.. but.. i have the desire and determination to do it now.

    What do I consider massive arms?

    When women want to come up to you and "just touch them", and other men stare at them jealously, they're massive.

    I have 16.5" arms but I'm 6'4 and no way do I consider them big. My brother is 6'2 and has 18" arms, but on his build I consider them big, but not huge.
