Just curious what everyone's height to bicep size is... ??

I see a lot of tall lanky mofos in the gym with string bean arms.... Who's got the bigger arms... Short bbers or the tall bbers
Im 5'6 with 17s cold. Today was the first time I've ever measured them but I'm fairly certain when I started lifting they were probably like 13-14

Why is it shorter guys have bigger arms? Its like anything above 5'7 and the lifting gods said "you shall labor for big arms"

6'3", 20.5". Never directly work them and they stay pretty damn big. Haven't even worked upper body in 5 months due to shoulder/pec/bicep injury, and they haven't lost much, if any, size. Blessed from early on with gifted arm genetics, although they don't have a great peak. Just big.

I don't. Have very good bicep genetics but pretty damn good tris. I've been trying to hit my bis a bit harder here lately and seen some pretty good growth

I'm 5'10'' with 17.5 cold. It seems like shorter people can grow their arms easier with those midget genetics. :) although I have never trained arms bythemselves. It is usually just a quick pump after workouts. It does bug me though that my proportions are a bit off. 51" chest with 17.5" arms lol.

Back when I did measure them they were a tad over 20". They're probably a bit smaller since I'm not as big as I was back then.

I think, in general, it just takes tall guys a hell of a lot longer to fill out their arms. I can only assume, in the long run, the taller guys will get ahead, but it will take many years to do. When I started, my arms were 11.25-11.5 inches. Before my recent surgery and when I was in my peak condition, they were 17.5 cold. Not sure what they are now, but I am willing to bet they have dropped to or slightly below 17 again.
