Let me educate you on the different types of vegetarians...
Vegetarians, as a whole, do not eat red meat. Some also choose to exclude poultry (pollo-veg) and/or seafood (pesco-veg). Because chicken and fish are indeed meat, it's debatable whether most would call it vegetarianism, but they are accepted forms.
Many veg's, in additon to actual flesh, eliminate non-meat animal products like gelatin and caesin. It varies a lot, though.
Drop all meat, but eat eggs and dairy, you're "lacto-ovo-vegetarian"
Drop all dairy products, and eat eggs, you're "ovo-vegetarian"
Drop eggs in all forms, but consume dairy, you're "lacto-vegetarian"
No eggs OR dairy, plus, no non-meat animal products, including honey, and you're, by definition, "vegan".
Go even further, and eat only plants and plant products (nothing grown with bacteria), and you're "macrobiotic" *please note, some macrobiotics DO eat meat. There's more to the philosophy than being non-meat-eaters. So, it's not technically a form of vegetarianism*
Vow not to cook your food, or do anything but pick and eat, and you're "raw-vegan", "raw-macrobiotic", or just "raw".
SO, to answer your question, there are, in fact, EIGHT forms af vegetarianism. (macro's don't count) pollo, pesco, pollo-pesco, ovo, lacto, lacto-ovo, vegan, and raw.

Your question makes very little sense. Diet is only one factor that determines how big someone's arm might get. Genetics and exercise are going to play vastly bigger roles. Yes, you need protein to build muscle, but a vegetarian diet is NOT (as you seem to think) lacking in protein. There are vegetarian power lifters, for goodness sake!

There have been many vegetarian athletes and there are many sources of protein that are not meat so if you are implying that all veggies are weaklings you are way off.
Edwin Moses - One of the greatest track athletes of all time was a vegetarian.
If you want more examples do a search on vegetarian athletes there are several websites on the subject.

it probably depends on how much they work out, % body fat, bone size and such...i would say it wouldnt matter if someone was a vegetarian or not theres a lot of factors that come into play.
