Thirdly and most importantly. I AM NOT CHUNKY roflmao!!!!!! I wear a size 5 pant during contest season and a size 7 post contest. I am 5'4" tall and weigh about 155 off season. I am a bodybuilder with a 14" bicep, 29" quad, 40" chest, 36" hip and 27" waist. I wouldn't consider myself "chunky" ;)
think laura platz might more than give him a run for his money.

I always get a chuckle when the lady has bigger quads then her man. ;D
I make fun of my friends for that too.

Arnold's quads 28"

Ahhhh...didn't catch that it was Laura Lee's measurements.
Makes one wonder what top level female pros like Kyle and Cadeau's measure at. They are so damn huge these days, they may actually surpass Arnold's 28.5" best thigh measurement. Pretty sad! :-\

pics of thighs please

now that right there is some funny shit.
arnold wasn't 6'2 ever. more like a whisker over 6'.
chest was never 57". that's just dumb.
bis were measured by arthur jones at '197/8" slightly pumped'(only verified time arnold's arms were measured accurately).
thighs were measured at 25.5" when he came to usa from austria BULKED and later at 26.5". arnold's legs looked bigger at times because of the condition they were in. now, i know the cellulite squad will say, 'but my thighs are...', but, well, i give you jaejonna after 16 weeks preparing for a contest 'spilled over a bit' for an example of the less deluded among you (at least he put it down).
calves 20"? ;D lol. refer chest measurement comment and add a few more 'dumb's. if that were true, proportioned to his thighs he would have legs like dorian yates with calf implants. ::)
-
Hmmmmm, I would put Arnold at 6 foot 2 and would be astounded if his thighs were only 25.5" bulked !!

First none of them were even competitive during Arnolds time (1970-1975) let alone had bigger or better legs. Arnold dwarfs all them but hey if you need some help getting atleast one guy I will give you Sergio Olivia, good luck finding anyone else even close to either of them.

Source for the measurements is http://www.bodybuildinguniverse.com/arnold.htm (http://www.bodybuildinguniverse.com/arnold.htm) and http://www.schwarzenegger.com/en/help/index.asp#0 (http://www.schwarzenegger.com/en/help/index.asp#0). They are supposedly from Arnold's Education of a Bodybuilder book.
Makes you wonder if that is why they stopped providing measurements for competitors...they were fantasies created to make the competitors appear more impressive.
Interesting to see that in the Wikipedia entry on him, someone puts Ronnie Coleman's measurements at:
Height: 180 cm (5 foot 11 inches)
Weight: 135 kg (296 lbs) (contest) | 147.5 kg (325 lbs) (off-season)
Arms: 61 cm (24")[4]
Chest: 147 cm (58")[5]
Thighs: 86 cm (34")
Anyone think that is accurate?
-
Here is a link to Youtube video of Ronnie in Korea - They measured his arm, chest and thigh in this video on 3:54:
Chest - 146 cm
Biceps - 55cm
Thigh - 84 cm
This was taken in 2004.

Nasser has huge quads

I think many of Arnold's measurements have always been exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, he has been a very positive influence on BB. I am 5'11" and have shaken hands with him. We were eye to eye. There is no way he is 6'2". At his best his quads were maybe 27". Quads and glutes were always is weakness. He was a master at drawing attention away from his weaknesses and toward his many strengths. None the less, he was great.

he's slowly shrinking

I think the Guiness Book of World Records lists Arnold at 6'1" and I think thats accurate

lmao
who the hell was competitive (and not quickly disposed by schmoe weider) with arnold during his competitive years?
you asked for 3 bbers during arnold's time.
those 3 were competing bbers during that time and all had bigger legs than arnold. do your own homework next time son or, better yet, don't spout off in the first place. ;)

Arnolds quads were the size of Nassers calves...

id suggest that every mesurement you see here take about an inch off and add about an inch to the waist,,only thing that is accurate here is wrist mesuremtn
sandow didnt have no 18.5 inchers with 30 inch waist in 1900 ,,id say 17.5 pumped with 30 inch waist after swimming in the hot tub and eating nothing but caffeine ;),,,18.5 inches 30 inch waist in 1900.. ummmmmmm nope

HAHAHAHA your sad attempt to put me in my place was a great way for me to start my day. First all three of those BBers named were in the beginning of their careers hence no challenge to Arnold. Second they were all shorter and smaller then he was. Third show me any kind of proof that their legs were actually bigger or STFU douche bag. Oh and enough with the cry baby conspiracy bullshit, Arnold owned everyone from his time, competitors weren't disposed of by Weider they left to compete in other orgs. because they couldn't beat Arnold. If your theory is correct then what happened to his top Challengers not named Serge or Sergio, Louie retired for acting, Franco won the Sandow, Zane won the Sandow, etc... So please next time use some facts not opinions or conspiracies.

I can see Sandow's arms being off, but why wouldn't a 5'9" bodybuilder have a 30" waist, even back in 1900?
I don't doubt Reeve's measurements. Why would anyone post an arm measurement of 18 1/4"? If he was going to lie about his biceps, he would have just pushed the figure up to 19".

i know you struggle with grammar as much as you struggle with your teacher's penis but do try to learn sentence construction from him, at least in between facials.
anyway, from the jist of the words, i can see you are apologising for putting your foot in your mouth and making ecuses when someone called you on your naivety.
i'll let you run home to sugar daddy this time, but do try and peak out from behind arnold's nutsack every once in a while, there's much knowledge that you are obviously missing out on. ;)

Once again a sad attempt, first thing you do is bust on my grammer when you forgot to capitalize every name in your last post and you have many errors in the above post ;) Oh and way to go off subject for a lame try at making a joke rather than proving me wrong in some way. So until you do prove me wrong or make a valid point please refrain from trying to be "cool" and using homo jokes as your argument.

oh
if you actually think arnie's legs were better than casey's, mentzer's and padilla's then there's not a whole lot i can do for you anyway except, again, suggest that you peak out from behind ol arnie's nutsack.
better not keep sugardaddy waiting son. he'll get blue balls. :-*
