Im brand new to the site. Im 5’6 I weigh 158 as of today. I have been working out on and off for the past few years. Reasons being: death of family members messed me up for a bit as well as strenuous jobs that tired me out by the end of the day. Its not a good enough excuse but it is what it is. My question is this. Im 5’6 with 13% body fat. I have 16.25 inch bicepts. Is that a good size or am I small?
Also I never touched actual weights, I have only used a bowflex and bands. I know everyone diss’s the hell out of the bowflex and what not but im just asking for your opinion on the size of my arms not what i work out on. Thanks Everyone who answers my question.

The only good thing I can say about a Bowflex, if you did that with a Bowflex, helloooooooo sailor.
Dont worry, that was as gay as it gets from me.
Could be interesting what you could achieve with some real weights.

I’d say, you have decent arms. ( no Homo ) I’d also say you already think highly of yourself. ( judging from your Avatar )
lolol yea i know my avatar is lame haha and also about the beer pong, we were playing in the world pong tournament and your able to lean over the table as much as you want… which i hated, i thought was a horrible rule. but oh well. i deff gotta switch up my avatar haha
oh and i think its higher as well, i used my friends body fat calculator thing… the one you hold in your hand and it does whatever, and thats what it said. I think its off.

There is a world championship!?!
If the Germans ever get wind of this you are fucked.

rules are horrible with full lean, kids were legit knocking their own cups over thats how far they were leaning.
i dunno what the extent of world represents championship lol i think it was just the name haha

Lol at this paragraph. Why even bring up the Bowflex if you don’t want anyone commenting on it?

Because people will ask for a general training background.

You look pretty solid. Do you have any specific goals like strength, physique, combination of the two?
Oh yeah, for future reference- all evaluation pics should include a shoe. No wrestling shoes either, they skew all of the relevant metrics.
If you are in fact, not a troll, please post a picture in better lighting. It’s amazing what shadows and a tight t-shirt can do. Also, its biceps, not bicepts. How often do you train?
