#Everyone's so shocked someone pls tell me what's a normal muscle mass for an arm

I am weirdly strong and I never noticed.
So basically my brother has this masculinity complex, so he degrades me at every opportunity, especially my strength. Therefore I assumed for years that my build and strength were perfectly normal and that actually I was really weak compared to most people.
Then a few months ago I lifted something and one of my friends was like "oh god let me get some of that" and I said "it's fine it's not that heavy" and she was like "???"
And since then (due to it now being summer and my newfound lack of fucks to do with what people think of my body) several of my friends have commented that I have "scary big" muscles. In both my arms and my legs.
And now I think about it... I can lift up and throw around my little sister without really thinking about it. My leg muscles are strong enough that I can go up on pointe without the specialised shoes and hold the pose for a good amount of time. On DofE I was the only person not to get bruises on my hips from the bags, and I found carrying the tents far easier than everyone else. But I just assumed that that everyone was like that and when I looked in the mirror I assumed that everyone looked like me too and now I'm realising that I'm actually kinda... Muscled. Like I never noticed that most girls my age have thinner arms and legs than me. I just assumed that everyone had fairly well-defined muscles and left it at that.
TL:DR: I didn't realise that I'm ridiculously strong and kinda buff and now I'm wondering whether I can use that to attract the ladies.
