"Anyhow, the Olympian who keeps bragging about his arms having been over 22 inches (in fact, I think that he may have won an Olympia, or maybe two, or seven) is, in fact, pissing mighty rivers down your leg and insisting that the mother of all rain storms is upon you. At 6'1" tall, this Olympian would have had to weigh about 308 pounds for his arms to be even close to 22 inches around. However, his competition weight was roughly 235 pounds. Of course, maybe his bodyfat was minus 15%..."
Who does this clown think he is to question Arnold's integrity?

hahahaha Yes what a clown. Arnold is god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Poliquin is the best trainer on the planet and I'll take his words before Arnold's 8)

I agree entirely. Arnold had 20 inch arms, live with it Alexxx!

19.5 according to Arthur jones

19.5 according to Arthur jones
With a semi pump.
Arnold is god in my eyes but his arms were never that big.
-
Who cares. They don't bring out a measuring tape onstage.
-
I measured Arnold's arm at 21 1/2 inches in October 68 at the original Golds Gym. He was weighing about 255 at the time. He is 6' 1 1/2". Measured him in Honolulu in Jan 69.

Who else have you measured?
Do you think Arnold Site injected at all in the biceps?

He was quite pudgy back then,in fact as vince girronda called him a "fat fuk"

Flex Wheelers bodyfat was measured at 0.0% in 93

I doubt both of these claims, but as an offseason measurement I suppose it is somewhat believable. I would put Arnold at 6'0.
dude, i have never known anyone so obsessed with height. did you get teased alot growing up or something over your height, whats the deal bro??
-
Yes what is arnolds official height. Some Say 6 - some 6'1 and on the Pumping Iron DVD he is 6'2 according to the narrator
-
I'd say 6'1.5" like the dude above who actually measured him said.
Look at the 1980 Olympia pics, if he's just 6' then everyone else is like 5'4". I know musclemen are generally short, but 6'1" isn't even particularly tall in real life.

arnies arms were 20 inches atleast.my stupid dumbass trainer says arnold had 17-18inch arms.ahahahah some people are extremely dumb

bodybuilders lie about everything else, so why is it a big shock that they would lie about their arm size and height?
-
right, Bodybuilders would tell you they were already strong before they even picked up a weight, they would tell you they have no weaknesses, but they won't tell you that they're full of shit..haha go figure

19.5 according to Arthur jones
I remember that. Before he and Franco got off a plane to meet up with Arthur Jones, they freaked out when they heard he had a measuring tape waiting for the athletes as soon as they got off the plane. Sergio Oliva was the ONLY one who's arms spoke of it's size.
-
Charles Poliquin is the best trainer on the planet and I'll take his words before Arnold's 8)
Yeah, pretty much. And he's probably actually trained more Olympians than Joe Weider. Real Olympians. For training and the science behind it, CP can't be beat.
-

I don't think he's the best at all. We went to the same school for several years. Never saw him train hard, nor did anyone else; very average physique. Then suddenly years later late 80s he gained about 30 lb. in a short time wink wink. Still wasn't training hard even then. No special training insights from what i've read of his advice, he recycles other people's research.
We had a disagreement on how to reconfigure the school's weight room and they went with my suggestions, which he didn't appreciate the angry little twit. His ideas didn't make a lot of sense, nor did the equipment he recommended that unfortunately they ended up bringing in to the gym in the early 80s, mainly hydraulic resistance machines instead of basic good bodybuilding/lifting equipment that was needed. Those hydraulic machines were like the ones used at Curves & weren't popular; essentially a waste of a budget. His demeanor can best be described as unfriendly.
He's quite clearly jealous of Schwarzenegger.
Arnold's arms were probably around or over 22" pumped when he was 250 lb., so the number's never been entirely fictional.
-
arthur jones was known for his 'no bullshit' approach to strength and muscle building.
i would believe his claims before anyone elses, especially arnold himself who was known for the opposite.
jones measured arnolds off season right arm at 19.75 inches (apparently 'slightly pumped'),
franco's at 16.75 inches cold
sergio's at 20.5 inches cold
viator's at 19.5 inches cold
in one of his books there is a photo comparing casey and franco's biceps and casey annihilates him for size, although franco's are more cut.
-
Arnold's arms we're NOWHERE NEAR over 22 inches at any time in his life, 19 inches is more believable.
-
Agreed great arms but I don't believe 22 inches
-
I doubt both of these claims, but as an offseason measurement I suppose it is somewhat believable. I would put Arnold at 6'0.
Almost 6'2, I have met him.
-
When Arthur measured those arms no one here knows for sure how long Arnold was training for competition at the time. I have attached a pic of Arnold at the nautilus compound. Also those arms where cold. 19.75 inches pumped would be over 20 1/2 inches. Arthur also measured Ray Mentzers arm as the biggest in bodybuilding history. ::) Ray was able to achieve this feat throught machine training......
-
'Arthur also measured Ray Mentzers arm as the biggest in bodybuilding history. Ray was able to achieve this feat throught machine training......'
if you're going to make a supposedly factual statement don't speak from the rectum.
i mean, i know you like doing many things with your rectum and i know as a result of all these activities it is very large now, but try all the same.
-
That's 23 1/2 inches.
Magnus would probably have close to 21 inches if he was ripped, and he's 6'5''.
Considering the size of Magnus' triceps, or rather, Arnold's lack of triceps mass, I don't for a minute believe that Arnold was anywhere close to 22 inches, at least not when competing.
In the light of all this, Klownmali's claims of having 21.5 inch arms in contest, are extremely ridiculous.

If you know anything about lifting then you would know that the famous Mentzer brothers trained like little girls at the nautilus coumpound.

Hero worship always will cloud good judgement when it comes to BB'ing. People avoid, or not accept, the real world trues about their selected idols. Case in point: Arnold.
Going by Jones past record about being hard nosed about measurements, I'll take his findings above others. Jones used a thin, steel tape and preferred subjects being measured first thing in the morning. Even before the natural pump people may get during a normal day(measurements tend to be more in the afternoon for even average people who never workout). Any other"true" measurements" given by Arnold, or those allowed to kiss his rings, I would doubt very much. 22"'s for his quads maybe, when he was gifted with his last Mr. O, but never his arms being 22''s when in good shape. Integrity has never been part of his basic nature anyway.Sergio would be the master of true arm measurements, they looked bigger than his head when posed.
Poliquin is in the line of good trainer's, but not the selected few great trainers. For a little guy, Poliquin has outstanding arms himself, but that does not make him the reining expert about training. Reading some of his articles on T-nation he appears to use subtle sarcasm too much of the time. Making him look petty. His articles lose their value for me the more I would read them. Anyway, glad that he is still around after his heart operation years back. I believe he's in his early fifty's and still going strong.
If anyone had trained on the original Nautilus machines, like the Mentzer bro's did, you would understand that no way anyone could train like little girls. It was full steam ahead or nothing else, by the very nature of the cam's design.
-
i would believe the following measurements for Arnold in his prime
Chest 51
Arms 19
Waist 35
Legs 25-26
Calves 17
still damn good but not what has been claimed.
-
Sure thing. When he is natural and training for a movie.
no, those are from his prime.

hahahahaha, another newbie who believes all the hype about the "great" Arnold. ::)
-
not the hype no, but to say 25-26" legs, 17" calves and a 51" chest youre fucking out of your mind. the waist is probably close to spot on, the arms could be to within an inch, but the rest are just idiotic statements
-
Arnold had no triceps....no way his arms were 22 inches.
-
I don't know about the other measurements, but when it comes to arms, I have to go with sarcasm. He's spent his entire adult life watching and measuring millions of arms! He's obsessed with it. ;)
-
19.5 according to Arthur jones
Yeah, and I believe that measurement, but if you see the photos from when it was taken you will see that Arnold looked to be "off". He was significantly smaller than his normal competition size. I personally believe Arnold's arm was 20" or just over when he was at his largest.
-
hahahahaha, another newbie who believes all the hype about the "great" Arnold. ::)
Well, if those really were Arnold's true measurements that you gave; that would mean you have 45" arms, and a waist near 12".
With all the shit you spew, you need to make sure that it all lines up or else it comes back to you later. Case in point being what just happened. You claim one thing, call bullshit on another person, and your claims that are already misrepresented, are that much more bullshit now.
-

Arnold had no triceps....no way his arms were 22 inches.
Most confuse Arnold's lack of extreme triceps cuts for a lack of size; one has nothing to do with the other. He had real size overall, both tris AND bis. 22" pumped at 250 is believable.
-
I don't believe Arthur Jones about Schwarzenegger. It's obvious here that both of them had about the same arm size, and Jones measured Oliva at about 20.5" cold. 22" pumped would've been viable off-season for both of them.
-
His long head is ridiculous.

you're making the mistake of thinking that i'm saying that those are small measurements, they're not, they are GREAT measurements, just because they're not the FAKE 23 inch arm, 36 inch leg, 60 inch chest and 23 inch calf measurement bullshit that todays pros spew doesn't make those measurements less impressive.
-
He's defiently not 62 there's a picture of him with like a inch on george bush. Who's 5 10-10.5 so he's struggling for 6 foot i donno maybe he shrung 2 full inch's in his old age but that seems a bit much

look my quads are 26" and my calves are 17" yet his look atleast 2" bigger than mine. Thats the perspective im coming from. Like i said your waist and arm measurements are probably near spot on but his legs were bigger than people give him credit for
-

a 26 inch leg on one guy can look completely different than 26 inches on another and i don't think you realize how big a 17 inch calf is, very few men have calves that big.
-
I'd say a shredded 26-27 may be true cause he had no hams developement
-
ive never seen a 17" calf as a major thing, theres plenty of guys in my footy team with calves just as big or bigger than mine. Granted it might be an above average measurement but my legs have always been pretty well developed without any direct training so ive never seen it as a hard to reach goal. Im 6"2 so it doesnt look overly huge either, thats how i can draw a direct comparison with Arnold. And IMO his legs were bigger than mine with room to spare

He's about 6'1", he was a few feet away backstage at a contest. No shorter than that.
-

I can verify. I saw him stand and talk to my dad and took a picture with all of us. My dad is 6' and Arnold loked to be an inch or two taller in the pic.

Poliquin is the guy who said that barbell rows are worthless, because you waste too much time acquiring neuromuscular coordination for performing the exercise effectively - too bad you'll end up with a rower's back if you do nothing more than pulldowns: wide and defined, but lacking in thickness and hardness.
He's the guy who said that doing 100 rep leg presses once in a while boosts overral mass gains more than anything - because it causes a miniscule increase of 10% in T levels, which return to baseline levels only two hours after the set is finished.
He's the guy who recommended sprinting on an empty stomach to boost GH levels - no matter if you faint do to sudden accute hypoglycemia.
Poliquin is the guy who is a retard.

come on franco no way franco had less than 17 inch arms he was 5-5 and 200 in contest shape. im no freak but as a senior i had 16 inch arms at 150 but they didnt get over 17s till i was 180 of course that was years later......

i will never agree with the fact that arnold is over 6 foot tall,and i have shook hands with the man so i am not talking out of my ass
-
What are my measurements?
You are a tall guy.
Arms=16.75" (cold, measured properly)
Legs=26.5" (relaxed, measure just below the buttocks line)
Calves=17"
Chest=46" (not expanded)
Waist=34" (measured at navel level)
-
Wow you are good.
Waist is 32 inches though. ;)
No sucking it in!
I have been in this game a long time and have a pretty good feel for things.
-
I take my measurements flexed. So when I flex my abs are 32 inches. 32 1/2 when I just measure it relaxed. Chest is 45 expanded maybe more I don't know how to take it accurately.

Anthropometrics - How Do I Measure Up?
By Wesley James
-
Too put it into perspective, chris cormier says his chest is 52 inch contest and 54 inch offseason, and ronnie claims his chest is 8 inches bigger and so does arnold? :S chest is a tricky one, because they measure around the back, lats etc. So its not really chest size.
-
I don't know the truth, but I think the most of the competitors are lie about their arm sizes. And I don't know why...
Anyway if you have good genetics and good proportions then I don't think that you have to have a big arm size (in inches) to have a big (or big enough) looking arm onstage.
For example this year my arms were between 18.75 and 19 inches on stage. At 198-200 lbs, 5'7".
I think they're proportional, but I think I'll need much bigger arms because that's seems like a requirement on the pro stages.

You must be geneticly gifted in the arm department Steve..
Guys that out weigh you in off season weight by 20-30pds(220-230) on gear with a height of 5'9 -5'10 usely have 19 inch arms.

He's a "guru"

He's a "guru"
AHAHAAHAHAH!!! a "guru"....I love that b.s. term.
-
I went to the same school as Poliquin did, at the same time early-mid 80s. If this guy's a guru then it shows just how many athletes don't know, like being led and need a personal trainer because the guy doesn't know much. Never saw him in the weight room when he weighed around 160 most of the decade, until all of sudden while revisting the playce in the late 80s finally saw him working out, he'd gained about 40 lb. quickly-i wonder how? ::)
We had conflicting ideas of how to rearrange the school's weight room, management went with my idea over his screwy one. He didn't like me after that because he's all ego and an ahole. Then a little later, for a weight room with only some basics that really could've really used some good equipment-for example I asked regulars to chip in for a cheap preacher bench that i then bought and installed since they didn't have one-he managed to convince them to buy a fairly useless line of hydraulic air resistance equipment that even regular joes didn't use it, no one did. Just sat there collecting dust.
I think Schwarzenegger's arm was likely around 22 pumped at a higher bodyweight, consistent with what Basile measured. Arthur Jones didn't get along with Weider and had good reason to put down Weider's boys.
-
there is a video on online somewhere, pretty recent where arnold admits he has lost about half an inch in height if i remember rightly.

seems about right. im 95kg with 17.5 arms. flat stomach so not ripped like you.

Bbers lie about the size. Shocking ::)
-
The way Jones measured arms would reduce all of you dumb dumb's here by 1 - 3 inches.
Also, would you be satisfied with one random arm measurement in your entire life as an accurate best? Would you like other people branding that onto you?
Oliva had more mass due to very long biceps and forearms. But this worked to his disadvantage as he could not flex an impressive peak.

Poliquin is also the guy who says people should not do cardio because all his clients don't(something like that) yet he fails to leave out the part where most of his clients are top pro and amateur athletes who jump run, sprint, skate, toss, and swim and move around generally several hours a day in practice and competition hence burning 1000's of calories from just that

"Anyhow, the Olympian who keeps bragging about his arms having been over 22 inches (in fact, I think that he may have won an Olympia, or maybe two, or seven) is, in fact, pissing mighty rivers down your leg and insisting that the mother of all rain storms is upon you. At 6'1" tall, this Olympian would have had to weigh about 308 pounds for his arms to be even close to 22 inches around. However, his competition weight was roughly 235 pounds. Of course, maybe his bodyfat was minus 15%..."
Who does this clown think he is to question Arnold's integrity?
^^
REALLY??????? 15% ::)
See below for evidence to the contrary...

Bodybuilding isn't about arm and waist measurements. That's for tailors.
-
my arms were 19 inches i am taller than arnold i they were a lot smaller both visually and for real.
-
I measured Arnold's arm at 21 1/2 inches in October 68 at the original Golds Gym. He was weighing about 255 at the time. He is 6' 1 1/2". Measured him in Honolulu in Jan 69.
What did you measure his penis length? You old queen you.

That guy is a clown and he has no credibility with me. He's uses the classic method of operation of taking credit for the athletes he "trains." Another guru who gains some fame then a few athletes thinks he has secret knowledge and flocks to him.
What really sealed the deal is the numerous times I catch him putting out garbage. He actually wrote it's technically an error for an Olympic lifter to rise up on their toes when pulling a weight in the snatch and clean. He obviously had no experience. An Olympic lifter explodes with speed upward and rise upward almost like a jump. To say he should be flat footed shows his lack of experience but not the lack of knowing when to keep his mouth shut.
-
Hmmm, that's not how he showed me how to rise for a clean... ;)
-
i would believe the following measurements for Arnold in his prime
Chest 51
Arms 19
Waist 35
Legs 25-26
Calves 17
still damn good but not what has been claimed.
LOL okay...
-
Old thread but Polquin also said how he had some Bob Sleders who had bigger calfs than Dorian. Yeh at what BF percentage? One rule for one measurement, one for another.
