How heavy does a 6'5 guy need to be to have 20" arms?

I played a lot of football for ten plus years so I wasn’t near 10% or less body fat, but I am 6’5” and was 300 before I had 20 inch arms… I was also 290 before going on the gear probably about 20% body fat, so definitely wasn’t lean… After a few years of consistent training and usage was 340 to 350 at 9 to 10% and arms were 23 1/4...I competed in bodybuilding around 300…Arms honestly didn’t even look super crazy at that height… Although Greg Kovacs, Quincy Taylor, and Ginter were all freaking out at my size… But personally I always hated my arms and thought they looked terrible especially just hanging there Even at that size, so basically it’s really about your muscle bellies in shape… My training partner was 6’1” and had 20 1/2 inch arms NATURAL and had triceps that look like Roelly Winkler’s honestly And his arms looked insane all the time hanging, flexed, whatever... it’s really just genetics……Probably not what you want to hear but I would say you have to be at least 260-270 like heavy hitter said minimum… Obviously you could get there in other ways by just training arms etc, but in all likelihood you’re going to have to be a pretty large all over… Maybe not what you wanted to hear but it’s truth.

Also just saw that post up and saw my profile pic… That was a couple weeks out from a show, and they were still around 23“ then FYI… They actually don’t look bad when their bent but like I said it’s a different story when you’re tall… Also people exaggerate the HELL out of there measurements, not many people really have 20 inch arms to be honest

What I was saying was, they don’t even like that crazy on the taller guy…I bet Brian Shaw has 25 or even 27 inch arms honestly, and they still don’t look too big on him because of his height… I have a picture of myself when I wasn’t yet too big at about 330-40 but fatter, still had some of my football body, standing next to 6 foot six or seven Noah Steere, And he had legitimate 24-25 inch arm supposedly… They were definitely way bigger than mine or at least looked a lot bigger because of the muscle bellies he had…

About 8 years ago I was 295'lbs with 21" arms at about 14-16% @ 6'2"s

Now I am same height and dropped a bunch of weight to build and do it all over again. I am 252 right now and not sure of bf yet but my arms are right at 18"s



So IMO @ a decent bf% the right weight for 6'5" would be 265-275ish and you would want bigger than 20" arms because even at my height I still felt like my arms weren't big enough for my size.
