This was in Venice April 05. You don't realize how big these guys are until you see them in person. He was a very nice guy. I waited till after his workout to bother him.

No matter what people say here it takes a lot of guts to post a photo of yourself comparing arms to a pro.
Just a prelude to the "monster triceps" calls that are on the way :)

Where was this pic taken?
-
lol a confederate flag and a guy proud to be nest to a black man.

Yeah, the whole thing is kind of weird, the flag, the screen name, the whole bit ::)

Maybe Johnny Jackson will turn up missing.

Outside Golds venice.
-
cool man! nice that you waited for him to finish too.
-

-

of course they were. ::)
-
that seems right to me.
-
johnnie's arms are 19 and a half in that picture so you're gonna tell me that that toothpick's arms are 17?
-
you know for a fact that jonnies arms are 19.5? they look like they are 21 ish.

That's just a KKK mask, nothing to be alarmed about.

lmao...
but seriously, its funny to see you guys' viewpoints of the confederate flag. none of you must be from the south. its just become a sort of local cultural symbol, it doesnt mean you hate black people lol. my high school was called robert e lee and our symbol was the confederate flag, and 75% of the school was mexican kids. it doesnt really mean anything bad anymore.
-
it doesnt really mean anything bad anymore.
Bro, I've lived in the south my entire life and I've heard the talk "heritage not hate" but ask any black man what he truly thinks about it and you'll probably find he doesn't care for it at all.
The Confederate flag may very well not imply the hate it used to in most circles, I'll agree that a lot of people who display it don't mean anything bad or negative by it, but in my opinion it still causes more harm then good. It can still stir up emotions in certain people and rightfully so, after all, no matter what it stands for now, for the majority of its history it has been a symbol for hate and distaste for certain individuals who make up part of our fellow man. It's things like this that I believe have had a negative affect on the progression of society. The Confederate flag is not the only symbol that has caused this trouble, there are other things in other circles that can stir up the same kind of negative emotion, and this is just one of many.

Like pictures of Mohammed?
Seriously, I just wanted to show you guys a picture. Jeez. :P

Jonnies arms look huge there.

Hey bro, that's cool...cool pick :)
IN all honesty my post was not set out to bash you by any means, after all, I'm southern bred myself. I seriously doubt that you are some cynical racist bastard, in my experience most who fly the stars and bars are good people (most not all) but at the same time that flag stirs up hate plain and simple, and it always will.
-
do you guys know that wasnt the actual flag of the confederacy?
it was the army of virginias battle flag (The confederate army in the East that Lee ran)
a little known fact. If people knew this they might realize that it is a symbol of bravery, of fighting for your homeland against a foreign invader even though outnumbered, etc.
but in this day in age no one seems to know anything anymore, especially rednecks who wave them around

Must admit, if I got a pic with him, it would be me shaking his hand or something, not rolling up my sleeve to show my guns. ::)
-
I watched a video of him and chicherello, wow is he ever strong.

Yeah, the actual flag is really rather bland. The stars and bars have only in more recent history become sort of the “replacement” confederate flag. But you hit the nail on the head, the problem is the idiot rednecks who so proudly wave them...but truth be told, no matter where you go there are rednecks in every part of the world.
-
johnnie's arms are 19 and a half in that picture so you're gonna tell me that that toothpick's arms are 17?
19 1/2 at contest time....cold and unflexed.

Antietum was the bloddiest day in American history.
-
The war was about Northern Industrialists vying for control of the US Government with Southern Agricultural Landowners - the slave business was incidental.
-
fuck rednecks and confederate flags.
a defeated people still living in the hopes of restoring slavery and cotton fields. get the fuck out of here.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
-
If your arms are 17 inches Jonnie Jackson's must be about 23 inches...They aren't.
I'd estimate yours to be about 15 inches tops.
-
Got no reason to lie. Believe what you want.
-
His arms are 17 because mine are 15 1/4 and his are bigger than mine and not by a little bit.
-

...Agriculture based on slavery.

I believe you. Those are very likely 17 inches. Johnny probably has 20 inch arms right now. He does not appear to be ripped to the bone, so i bet you his arms are near or over 20 inches. Also, there is a very large difference in surface area of a 20 inch arm compared to a 17 inch arm; that is why Johnnie's arms appear so big relatively. That and he is closer to the camera. Regardless, Robert has a very decent physique and seems anything but a racist. You guys are always so negative. Next thing, Ronnie has no arms and legs ::)
-
holy crap,,,, Jonnie's arm is as big as your little body.... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
-

You do have reason to lie,To make yourself sound bigger.
Maybe you aren't lying but that doesn't mean your arms are 17 inches. Perhaps you just can't measure correctly.

funny, anytime you call someone on a lie and tell them the truth then you're being negative, the truth is that there is no way that this guy's arm is 17 inches, no one said Ronnie or JOJ has small arms or legs, i'm saying that the skinny guy in the pic has small arms, if you look at the picture closely, Johnnie's FOREARMS appear to be an inch larger than this guys upper arms so are you going to tell me that Johnnie has 18 inch forearms? that's how ridiculous that sounds.

Thanks man.
Apollo, I don' know any of you on this board and couldn't give a shit less how big you think I am. I measure my arms cold and flexed.

you'd get your ass kicked by all races for touting the confederate flag in my neiborhood

well that's ok. The Jews on Fairfax don't tend to throw down that much.

Maybe I should put that nazi flag in my avatar and claim it has nothing to do with racism but "Culture" like they do with the confederate flag.

Well, if you were Navajo or Hindu, you would be totally correct.

I still think that posting pictures of yourself next to a pro, or someone you admire, is a cool thing. I now think Johnnie Jackson is an OK guy, taking time to have a photo taken with a fan.
I've had pictures of myself taken with a Nobel prize winner in Physics, William Shockley. When I showed my friends, I don't recall them saying, "man, you are in no way as smart as that guy, retard". They just said "neat".

No,Just German ancestory.
That confederate flag was created by the south to be seperated from the united states. That flag is the confederate flag.
It would be like me waving a nazi flag around saying I have no problem with jews and am not racist and it's just german culture.

I walked down Venice boardwalk shirtless with it tatooed on my back.....nothin. Folks don't mess with southerners, cuz they know we don't f*ck around.

hahahaha, i'm sure everyone in Venice was terrified of your 6'2" 146 lb. massive body.

It is more a symbol of rebellion than racism.
-
It's a sign of ignorance, get it right.
-
I saw a Derka Derka with a confederate flag tat'd on his neck, and he was hanging out with a bunch of hicks. Does that mean al-Qaeda and Hillbillies are the new axis of evil?
-

it was about politics, not "just" about slaves that played a smaller role... :-\

Care to elaborate?

Sort of like the war in Iraq wasn't about getting rid of Sadam...

War is all about $$$

I've lived in Tennessee my whole life, and to the comment of how black people don't like the flag and they don't see it has heritage and are offended, go piss up a rope. Alot of black people are more racist than white people today. I'm offended by rap, by kids wearing there pants around there ankles, gangs. I'm also offended by the NAACP. Why is race listed for college scholarships? Shouldn't the best person win? By the way I don't understand the Robert E. Lee w/ a black guy, notice the "South Shall Rise Again" by his name!
-

Don't pay attention to these guys Robert. You try to post a picture with a pro, and all everyone does is tell you that you have small arms, that you lie about them, and make a cultural discussion over your friggin' avatar.
Most people don't even pay any attention to those things, but then everyone's an expert on political history and race relations, not to mention the size of your arms.
I thought it was a cool pic. And if someone's offended by your flag, it sounds like it's their problem for letting it get to them, not yours.

You're a disgrace to bodybuilding.

Does that look photoshopped to anyone else?

The North East seaside town I live in, Bristol RI, has a history of being one of the largest slave importers ever. Their was a big week long article in the Pro Jo last week explaining how some of the more promenate families made their $. You can still go to the mansions and see the shackles and chains in the basements. Plus charts of ships showing the cramped slave quarters and how they would take a count every day on how many died that night. Quiet an eyeopener when you always allocate the deep south with the slave trade. We were part of the Sugar, Rum, Slave, triangle. Dark part of our history not mentioned much till now.
-

Quit hating on my thread then, as a matter of fact, please ignore me altogether. I think that would be the best way for you to protest.
-
Ronnie dont listen to these buttplugs.. you think a white man went over there and said "hey im gonna buy some slaves" NO a black man sold the first slave, and slavery was not the cause of the war, it was because of the divide of the north and south, slavery played a small role... the flag will forever fly in my front yard.

Maybe you aren't lying but that doesn't mean your arms are 17 inches. Perhaps you just can't measure correctly.
Johnny Appleseed you don't have a clue, you claim to know math. Can't you figure out how much more actual mass there is in a 19.5" arm than a 17" arm? Its a huge difference. Plus one guys arm is all muscle compared to one with a layer of fat surrounding it adding to the illusion.

Didn't Shockley invent the transistor? He claimed the black man was genetically mentally inferior to the white race.

You get my vote for biggest asshole on Getbig. That is quite an accomplishment with some of the people who post shit here.

Robert E.Lee towers over Jonnie Jackson so we're not comparing apples to apples here. A 17 inch arm on Jonnie would still look pretty thick but on a much taller guy it looks a lot slimmer. Ralf Muller back in the day at 6'7" probably had 22 inch arms but they looks like pipes compared to a lee priest who's are probably measures the same thing at 5'4" or whatever. So Jonnie's arm is proportionately much larger though the actual measurement is not that much different.
-
a 17" arm aint big unless u r 5'4

Nonsense..Their arms are right next to eachother. The LENGTH of the arm doesn't make a difference. You can clearly see how much larger jacksons arm is..Not just 2 inches! Most likely 5 minimum.
-
geez talk about haters. dude u talk about a 17 inch arm is the holy grail like the guy needs to lie. 17 inches these days is a good measurment for the serious natrual bb in shape. anyway cool pic.
-
His arms are 17 because mine are 15 1/4 and his are bigger than mine and not by a little bit.
More like 13 1/4 ::)
-
Bossa you're the kinda guy who goes to the public pool to check out everyone else's penis and see if they're bigger than yours and if they are you go home and cry sitting on the toilet and pull and pull on yours saying "grow, grow, come on". then you sing the song: "My buddy, my buddy, my buddy, my buddy... I wish you would grow... a few inches more. My buddy, my buddy, my buddy, my buddy. MY BUDDY AND ME!!!!!!!!"
