To that last question...Because your just startin man, don't worry about it lol.

The size of your arms kind of depends on your genetics, but honestly it's how dedicated do you want to be to getting the body you want? Sounds like you have a solid base (any pics?) so if you know what you are doing and stay at it, there are no limits my man.

As to knowing what you are doing, you can find pretty much anything you'll need on this site. If you have any questions just ask.

It seems so odd to me how honesty is honestly the rarest thing upon us. Honestly, it's astonishing.

When he says time, it's gonna be years. But the progress that comes with it, you'll enjoy every step of the way. Well, maybe not every step.

LoL, some people say that they love every minute of lifting, others that they work through the hard work/stuff they don't like because they like the results. Just figure out what works for you and keep at it. Like Pearl said, when I said time I was leaning more towards the years end of the scale than the months. At your size it will probably be atleast 2-3 years with a very solid diet and lifting before you can be looking at 17+ in. arms, but you'll get 'em man, just stick with it.

You don't have to worry about not being able to keep them from getting much bigger if any.

His arms are hell of small I doubt 2 - 3 years I am going to say to get to 16 he is going to take 4 - 5 years and 17+ may take him 6 - 7 years 18 1/2 inches? you better be training for the next 10+ years.

So if I do work out for a decade or so I could have 18.5 inches? Thats ok I don't mind waiting that long cuz I'll only be 25.

From trying to estimate your age, your already thinking about 5 years from now?(thats if you stay dedicated, I mean addicted)

What are your plans to reach that goal should be whats in your mind.
Get short term goals, and you will be there in no time.

OK, maybe it's just me but does anyone think it's just a little strange that he picked 18.5?  Hmmmm.. why not 19 or 18inch?  18 inch arms are massive on a 6' person.
 
I agree with twisted... for a lean 18inch arm unless you have the genetics of a monster...you're looking at the very least a decade with some special juice one the side..
 
16 inch arms on a 6' man are way above the average and you would certainly stand out.. the ave 6' man that dosn't work out and is not obese has on the average 12-13.5inch arms..  
 
Set small short term goals... going from 12.5 to 14 would be incrdible an could be possibly done within 12-18 months with a good diet and proper training...
There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing

yer you better be careful man, you wouldnt wanna accidently do 1 extra rep and wake up with  20'' arms, that'd be hell.
trust me, isyou ever get to 18.5'' arms it will be hard as anything to get to even 18 5/8'' arms.

but like the fellas said, it will take alot of time and even then it sonly if your genetics permit for such size on your body.

p.s im only 16 and ive got 18'' arms, and im only 5'10 but ive got near perfect genetics in my point of veiw, my dad and all my uncles are built and they dont workout at all other than farm work.

From the avatar your developement looks similar to that of a man in his mid 20's..who has trained consistently..
Being only 16 you're genetics must be off the wall.. Impressive...
