Title: 14" vs 20" arm pic
Post by: tbrunson on May 09, 2007, 03:18:12 PM
I cut this out of a flex or mf mag way back in the mid 80's and have kept it in a photo album for over 20 years for inspiration. I still like looking at the huge disparity between the two arms. Remember, this was printed back when 20" arms were pretty unusual and definitely something to brag about. The 20" arm looks kinda short to me but it looks about perfect to me in ratio of bicep to tricep to forearm.

The scan isn't the best but the picture got wrinkled over the past 20 years.

Enjoy

Yes, I could tell right away that the only difference between the 14" and and the 20" arm was just the high intensity training ::).............who couldn't figure that out :-\?

Thanks for posting it, I remember seeing it with some HIT Mentzer article years ago. I really brings home the point that real , 20" muscular (NOT fat) arm is rare and VERY impressive.     Howard

You know everyone hears "20 inch arms" and thinks of a huge bicep, but the majority of size in that guy's arm is his tricep. That thing hangs down about 4 inches! I think the real diff. between guys with 18 inch arms and 20 inch arms is the tricep.

That photo (which is astonishing) is from a 1985 issue of M&F.  It's one of the few issues I still actually have.  Jeff and Cory were on the cover and the super-feature was dedicated to "intensity".

arthur jones measured alot of the top pro's back in the 70's and hardly anyone had a legit 20 inch arm, I think the only one who was legit was sergio at his absolute biggest-the old pics of him posing outdoors at the nautilas complex.  Arnold was 19ish and Franco was 17ish...viator's arms actually looked bigger in the comparison pics but Arnolds had much better shape.

I've never seen a decent pic, don't know how tall he is, what he weighs or anything about him.  I can't even begin to guess.   I don't know how long he's been training etc. alot of arm size has to do with where your muscle inserts etc.  

In highschool I had people convinced I had 16 inch arms cause I'm short and stocky, I measured them when I was a junior and they were only 14 but I let everyone believe they were 16 cause they looked like they were bigger than they were.  Keep in mind that I had to hold my bodyweight at 140lbs for wrestling so I was pretty ripped thus adding to the illusion.

Actually they are a little over 19.25 right now because I've been dieting for three weeks.

hahahahaha, sounds like i touched a nerve with "big" Groink, all i'm trying to do is get you back down to reality and tell the truth, the only way your arms are over 19 inches is if you have 8 inch concrete bones, you're the most delusional person on this site hands down.

So take the bet if i'm so full of shit :D

Yesterday you said they weren't over 17

then you said our arms are the same exact size and youv'e said repeatedly that your arms are 17.5

now your saying they "aren't over 19"

Your estimate keeps going up.

i did complain about the price of gas, the thread is on the General topics board, and i never said i owned a CONSTRUCTION company, cars and trucks are bad investments dummy, they lose value from the second you drive them off the lot but i wouldn't expect a high school dropout like you to know that.

Youv'e said on numerous occasions you own a construction company. what that has to do with depreciation i don't know.

I cut this out of a flex or mf mag way back in the mid 80's and have kept it in a photo album for over 20 years for inspiration. I still like looking at the huge disparity between the two arms. Remember, this was printed back when 20" arms were pretty unusual and definitely something to brag about. The 20" arm looks kinda short to me but it looks about perfect to me in ratio of bicep to tricep to forearm.

The scan isn't the best but the picture got wrinkled over the past 20 years.
