I'm not sure if I completely agree with that.. frame is important, two people that are 5'7" will not always look the same at 170lbs... even at the same bodyfat%.

But can you honestly say a person that is 6'5" with 18 inch arms and a person that is 5'5" with 18 inch arms will look the same?

I'm 5'7" and weigh 185... my arms at a person best were just over 16 inches (flexed) and they looked a lot bigger than my cousin who is 6'0" 196 with the same measurement.

This would be a good general guideline, but it'd be a lot like the old "1 inch to your arm every 15 pounds"... it'd be just a general guideline.

Well the first list "Ideal Body Measurements" is just my personal goal that I should have specified... not for every persons height necessarily.

Are these your goals? They'd be pretty good in terms of measurements.

I used to think 15/ 16 inch arms were huge. Then when i got to that size i didnt really think they were that big.  Right now im at 17 1/2 cold and 18 with a pump.

heh...ya after all we all belong to the greedy species of human beings...
nothign satisfies us :P

I was going to state the same thing, once you get there you will still strive to get bigger.

This is what Im shooting for  myself. My height is 62". That should place my weight at between 145 and 150.

Greek Formula based upon 6.5" wrist size

goal                                current 136lbs
Chest  42 inches               38
Waist  29 inches               34
Hip  36 inches                   37
Bicep  15 inches                13(uf) 14(flex)
Forearm  12 inches           12
Thigh  22 inches                21.5
Calve  14 inches               14
Neck  16 inches                 14.75

I have not tried the other method where you measure each joint. Im still in a cut. Im down to around 13 or 14% BF. Trying to get to single digets without any lean mass loss and then clean bulk from there.

Great goals BTW for the OP. How tall are you? That looks like some impressive measures.
How do you measure your pelvis size anyway?

Best of luck.

Well I'm assuming that a doctor could give you an estimate. And I am 6' 1".

To each thier own. I'm working to be bigger. I had these measurements in April.
 
Neck- 18.5
Biceps- Rt- 18.25
            Lt- 17.5  seems the accident and power lose associated with it has also effected size lose.
Forearms- 14.5
Chest- 52.25
Back- 53.75
Hips- 49
Waist- 47.25
Thighs- Rt&Lt- 29.25
Calves- Rt&Lt- 18.5
I'm even bigger now, about another 4 weeks I'll post new ones. Although at my age its hard to get the waist down. And 250 lbs for 6'5" is alot less than I want to be and I am now.

I hear ya on the age, waist thing wetdawg. For myself at 43 its not as easy as it used to be. You are however growing larger so you have a calorie surplus. Quite hard to shrink the waist in a surplus anyway. Thats what was so hard for me to get past, since I wanted a smaller waist for sure, I had to accept seeing no more real muscle growth, and possibly a reduction in muscle size. If I can just hang onto what Ive got and get the waist inline with my goals, then I can start clean bulking and bump my muscle size up.
