It has taken all of my patience and motivation, yes.

5'5", 180lbs, arm measured a tad under 17" three weeks ago. But I am dieting for a contest in two and a half weeks. When I was 200lbs at 13% I was over 17"...I want 20" arms though...who doesn't??

This is true Gopro...
I used to workout with a guy who had like 20-21 and never worked out a day in his life... Why? Because he was a large man with lots of fat. I've seen a lot of huge obese ladies that probably had larger than 20 inch arms (they're all over) .

So when you say you have a 20, it better mean a lean muscular 20.

arm size is relative to your height and weight, also your bone structure.

my arms are just over 17".

Lee labrada's arms were supposedly only 18".

also, those blessed with a high bicep peak could easily have another inch on their arm measurement.

Since I was like 16 years old I have always been the same height. When I was 21 my weight was about 180 or so. Not until after I hit 30 or so I hit the 200lb mark. But my weight has relatively been within the same range. My arm size was always the same too... I was roughly a 15-15 1/2 like everyone else. But after years of hard arm training I grew. I never thought I would get to a size 18, but it happened very very slowly. I remember after a year or 2 of work I hit a size 16.5 and then about a couple years later made it to an 18. But I guarantee mine is not composed of fat.

oh, another thing with arm size is leanness, the more fat you gain the bigger your arms will get.

Randy, even though you may not have a lot of subcutaneous fat, muscles get marbled with fat just like a steak, which makes them appear larger.

So let me get this straight, you worked out with a guy who never worked out in his life?

Yes Twin Peak, I was introduced to a guy at the gym that had just started working out. He had never worked out before prior. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
