Arthur Jones has made the following measurements:
Bill Pearl 13 3/4"
Arnold Schwarzenegger 14" cold
Franco Columbo 13 1/3"
the largest he ever measured where Sergio's at 15 1/2" cold
Casey Viator also almost had 15 1/2" with 7 1/2" wrists
Both Mentzers had 7 1/2 inch wrists and Mike 15 1/4" and Ray 15 9/16"
Now the thing is you're supposed to measure you forearms when straight out and not bent.
I measured mine at 13 5/8th cold.
What's yours?

Joe Roark measured Lee Priest's forearms at 15 3/4" straight out, 17" goosenecked. Powerlifter Doug Young's forearms were 16.7" goosenecked.

Yes but you gotta remember that Arthur Jones was a sneaky bastard. He measured the Mentzers arms in front of an audience and those "bodybuilder" brothers probably pumped each other up before their guest appearance. Ray was also dubbed as the worlds biggest arms in the book. ::)

Ray was said to have bulked to 280-290, completely surpassing his brother Mike's level of muscular development, although there are little to no pictures available of his at that time.
Onlyme knows what I'm talking about.

Waiting for the dorian nut huggers in 3, 2, 1........

Waiting for the dorian nut huggers in 3, 2, 1........
that what I was thinking.
they honestly believe that dorian could match Ronnie when Ronnie is in shape, which is ludicrous.
but we have a 690 page thread for all about that.

Arthur Jones wasn't a "sneaky bastard" Alexxx. Jones is known for his uncompromising integrity.

Bill Pearl recently said in an interview that Ray Mentzer was the strongest bodybuilder he ever saw.
-
Rosbo's forearms were so big he had no wrists!

You're absolutely right.
Just look at his left forearm in the front double bi. I always thought it looked crazy in this pic.
-
whatabout lee priest
yea, that's what I was going to say, Lee's are some forarems are among the best.
-

Ray had immense strength in all the bodybuilding movements according to Pearl.
-
You're absolutely right.

Those are some seriously monster forearms. Both he and Coleman had massive, detailed forearms- I don't see too much of a difference except for probably Ronnie's look a little shorter- more taper.
Sergio's are nuts in that shot! :o

More taper? lol is that the spin? I guess guys who have high calves just have better tapered calves lol
-

Well, yeah. If you have a thin diameter at one end, and a thick diameter at the other, as opposed to thick all the way through, what does that make? More taper ::)
-

You act like its more desirable that way I suppose having taper calves mean are more desirable as well?

Find me a comment anywhere in my post where I said it was more desirable. ::)
Sometimes, ND, when you post things like this I can't help hearing the X-files conspiracy music.

I never claimed you said it , I claimed you acted like it there is a difference .
-

Well there is a difference. One has more taper, the other is fuller. Which one is better I never commented on.

These are the best forearms IMO

I'd be happy if my upper arms looked like that

Ray weighed 290 when we trained and was just massive. His arms were ridiculous. His thighs were unreal. He must have had some big forearms but really I can't remember them so I wouldn't think they were anything special. At my biggest my right forearm (flexed and pump like shit) was a hair shy of 17". My left forearm at the same time was under 15"

How much bigger at 290 lbs. was he compared to him here at what, 220?

I'm not sure who you are talking about at 220 but I didn't know Ray when he competed. I might have run into him at the gym but don't remember back then
-

Well, then how does the Ray of these pics compare to the Ray in your memory?

Arthur Jones has made the following measurements:
Bill Pearl 13 3/4"
Arnold Schwarzenegger 14" cold
Franco Columbo 13 1/3"
the largest he ever measured where Sergio's at 15 1/2" cold
Casey Viator also almost had 15 1/2" with 7 1/2" wrists
Both Mentzers had 7 1/2 inch wrists and Mike 15 1/4" and Ray 15 9/16"
Now the thing is you're supposed to measure you forearms when straight out and not bent.
I measured mine at 13 5/8th cold.
What's yours?

Nobody cares about the metric system. We're American. ::)

Pretty sure there's a couple non-Americans here.

Well, then how does the Ray of these pics compare to the Ray in your memory?
Ray looked like an off-season competitior. You could easily see seps like in his delts and huge tris and quads. His stomach was round. Far from flat but not flabby. His was just veryvery thick. His legs were so HUGE they were prbably the biggest I had seen in along time. And he was very strong. He had great triceps. But he enjoyed eating.
-
I've just this minute measured my forearm at 14.5 inches. Straight out, cold. My wrist is just over 8 inches.
-
Check it out here! :o
-
my left forearm is 14.2 and my right is 14.5, pumped 15, but i doubt my forearms are bigger than arnolds or any other pro bodybuilder in the 70's...i think arnolds forearms were at least 15.5 15.25...

It could be that Arnold was not in contest condition when Arthur measured him. that would explain why his arms where a hair short of 20 inches.

mine

Sergio forearms

13.5 last i measured. Arnolds only 14, i don't believe that.
