Although Dillet and Coleman's arms may have taped the same at 22-23", Dillet had much more volume. Coleman's biceps are like rock hard baseballs.

IF they were the same measurement, Coleman would have more volume due to less height and smaller structure.

Exactly why Schwarzenegger's arms looked bigger than Ferrigno's-more volume, greater size for the height.

You're right, he looks great except that the size shown in those shots isn't consistent with what's on video and in some other pics. The other shots, the first one you posted might've been shopped.

&mode=related&search=




Eddie's numbers according to bodybuilding.com:

He's bench pressed 315 lbs for 50 reps. He's done seated shoulder presses with 405 for 15 reps. He's squatted 800 lbs for a single.

manfred was not a pro bber, but he probably had the biggest arms or some other guy with synthol.

seriously, as guys like valantino have proven, synthol has ruined the whole notion of biggest arms because all a guy has to do is put the most synthol in his arms and voila, biggest arms.

as far as muscular arms that i think were real i'd say dillet had the biggest, but then, his arms never seemed to get that rock hard look so i'm not even 100% about him.

bertil fox probably had the best combination of size and density and were outrageously thick for a pre synthol period. guys like fox and bill pettis had that kind of freaky development that looked as strong as they were big.

marko and marcus just look like they forgot to shoot the tris. that is probably unfair but these kinds of arms (where one muscle group ie biceps, just seems to jutt out disproprtionately to everything else) just don't have that much impact imo.

prime ronnie's arms, condition, size, density, detail, credibility seem to be the most developed in recent memory and are definitely the most complete of any mr olympia in the history of the sport.

Dillet, Marko & Coleman side-by-side. Pause at 7-8 seconds and Coleman/Dillet close Coleman might be slightly bigger and that was taken when he was smaller. Dillet a little harder, IMO. Markos a little smaller and possibly a little synthol based on the difference in biceps shape:

true, dillet's and coleman's arms are about the same size there overall, but marko's biceps by themselves are bigger than both of them, purely because of augmentation, however his overall arm size doesn't match.

syntholled arms look like shit imo.

levrone had great tris, but his condition in that shot, regardless of angles etc, is nowhere near coleman's.

put ronnie in the same slightly more bulked condition and ronnie would have much larger arms overall.

someone said that levrone's tris were augmented but i don't buy that. levrone was a very strong bencher and ALWAYS had phenomenal development in the delts and tris. i just think he was gifted in those areas particularly.

Synthol wasn't invented until 1996.  Marko's arms showed phenomenal biceps development back around 1993-94 when he won the Finnish Championships at age  20.  A lot of people have opined that Marko has used synthol but there really is no evidence of that.  He just happens to have incredible genetics for biceps mass.  And his overall arm size was bigger than either Dillet or Coleman eventually coming close to 24-1/2" cold.

Something like Ruhl, with insane bis not quite matched by tris. Unfortunately he supposedly tore one while doing 300 lb. preacher curls.

What keeps the synthol question alive is the fact that the peak seems to have changed, as seen in those pics.

Well, Levrone prays to GOD, the green horse.

Marko is an idiot, praying to the red horse. He manifested this kidney disease by his own ignorance.

don't buy it.

manfred had oiled up arms way before 1996. unless you expect me to believe that manfred's arms were natural too.

at least manfred was smart enough to get the tris done aswell so they would at least look anatomically...sort of...proportionate.

tris make up 2/3 of the upper arms in human beings. sorry, but i don't accept that marko's arms defy that logic. even if he did have abnormal genetics for the bicep muscles there are also changing shape tell tale signs mentioned by pumpster.

Hey Markofan,

Who knows for sure when synthol or predecessors were invented? Its not like they gonna give out a nobel prize and announce it on CNN. I personally, me, imo, believe they're not natural. If not oil, then something else.

I have heard that guys used to use silicone and mct oil way before snythol was "invented".  When synthol first came out it was like 400 a bottle and u could go buy a bottle of mct for 20 run it through a filter and wammo.  I had a friend do this and it worked.  I have no idea how it would compare to snythol but I have heard its just mct oil anyway but unsure.

Coleman's got virtually the same volume, with greater refinement, flow and peak.

how do you figure?

ronnie is 7 inches taller with 2-3 inches more on his arms?

Extremely predictable shot posted too many times. With "icecold" it's only white BBs. There are shots like that with Coleman, including the cell phone one, and as i said he clearly beats Priest on refinement, definition, peak, etc. Also i'm not sure the height difference is that much.

this clip of mikey is insane.

some of the biggest arms ever and widest shoulders EVER.

this is shortly after he won the USA in 91, when synthol wasnt even around. 

crazy.

The problem with Mike's arms, was that the split between Bis and tris was not as prominant as others, especially when he was a pro. I remember watching BFTO 97 and he was throwing up double bi shots in the gym. His bis were off the meter, but no splits. I was more impressed with his calves

And Hell,  you guys forgot Flex Wheeler. When he does a bi shot, his tris and bis make a complete circle...
Title: Re: Which Pros Arms Were the Biggest?
Post by: Danimal77 on June 19, 2007, 08:59:50 PM
Something like Ruhl, with insane bis not quite matched by tris. Unfortunately he supposedly tore one while doing 300 lb. preacher curls.

What keeps the synthol question alive is the fact that the peak seems to have changed, as seen in those pics.

Zane's PEAK changed also from 1978 to 1982.

What's the likelihood that Ferrigno, who specifically trained and dieted for a leaner physique in later years, would be 320 over age 40 when he was around 270 and clearly bigger in his twenties?  ::) ::)

From my forum:

Yesterday (Oct 9, 2004, Saturday) at 9:31am I chatted with Lee Priest at the GNC Show of Strength Expo Hall, and asked if I could measure his wrist, his forearm in two positions, and his flexed upper arm.

He said he weighed about 235 as we spoke and that he was about 5'5" tall.

Keep in mind he was cold, had not worked out that morning.

His wrist measured 7-3/8".

His forearm- with the entire arm straight- including the hand straight from the wrist, but with his fist clenched, but not goosenecked, measured 15-3/4" and is the most incredible forearm I have ever seen in person. So he has the magical ratio of his forearm being twice as large as his wrist PLUS ONE INCH! Manfred Hoerbel did not have the 2:1 ratio!

Then he goosenecked his hand, and put his forearm at a right angle to his upper arm, and in that position his forearm measured 17".

His upper arm was simply unbelieveable, and it is my personal opinion that from wrist to shoulder he has the best all-round development in the history of bodybuilding- I will not argue- that's just my opinion. His upper arm measured an unbelieveable 21-1/4".

He mentioned that when pumped, he can add an inch, which is of course likely. So pumped, his arm would be over 22" which would be triple his wrist size!

He allows people to believe what they wish in regard to his arm size, and he related this story. He was at a department store counter when the female clerk commented that he had large arms, but that her relative had arms 'about twice as big as yours'. Lee just smiled and said he must be a big guy!

Another time someone said to him, "What do your arms measure, I will guess 23""

"You got it", replied Lee, and smiled and walked away.

Thus misinformation is born.

Yes, I measured it, expecting his arm to be perhaps 20", because, as you allude to, his limb length is shorter. It was an amazing sight, because I have on other occasions been close in my visual (in person) estimates. Vince Taylor's pumped upper arm backstage at the Arnold some years ago I measured at 19.75". So Lee's arm was almost two inches larger than Taylor's! Who would have guessed that? Not me.

The real surprise/shock was Lee's forearm, measured as I described with a totally straight arm-forearm-hand, with only 'making a fist allowed. Any forearm twice the size of the wrist as measured in this manner is world class, ALWAYS. Talking about muscularity not obese people. Lee had an inch in addition to double.

The real disappointment is when pros decline to be measured. Vince Taylor had a wonderful attitude, sure, measure it, it is what it is- there is a man at home in himself.

Kovacs, while pleasant to me declined to be measured but did acknowledge that his arm size at that time was- pumped- about 25", not larger as claimed by others.

Some of the photos shown in the magazines showing a tape around an upper arm are staged fakes. Simply count the inches on the tape which you CANNOT see and determine how that compares to the inches of the tape which are visible.

kovacs made many claims but NEVER backed any up, even when money was offered. i wonder why? i don't believe kovac had even a pumped measurement of 25". i would guess about 23" pumped at the most.

i agree re lee's forearms. at a cold measurement that is just phenomenal. casey viator's measured slightly over 15 goosenecked (arm not bent though) and his were huge.

bill kazmier's were apparently about 17" held straight like lee's first measurement and bill's were probaably the largest muscular forearms ever measured and he was 6'4" and around 330lbs at the time.

I have never measured Ronnie's arm. Measured Manfred's arm at 25.5" cold and 26" pumped. I used calipers to measure the height of his flexed upper arm- 10" which was the same as Marla Duncan's waist width who was also standing on the Arnold Expo stage with us. I stacked one can of Pepsi atop another and Manfred's arm was taller than the two cans.

Marla's waist was 26", so her waist and Manfred's pumped arm were the same.

After I measured Manfred I saw Paul Dillett, who then, unbelieveably, looked small.

On the occasion I requested to measure Dillett's arm, he declined.

Years ago when I requested to measure Oliva's arm, he declined and said that my guess was as good as his. Had I been fast enough I should have said, then I guess 16". ;D

When I met Manfred backstage at the Arnold years ago, I asked if he was warmed up. He said no. But he was breathing like he had just run a 100 yard dash, and he was sweating.

I measured his arm backstage at 2.5.5. I then asked him if there was ANY foreign substance in his arms and he said no. His flexed arm was as hard as a brick.

His strength is known- strongman competitor- and synthol does not aid strength.

That's all I know. Many believe he used some enhancing agent and that is why I asked him directly- so I could get HIS answer. Was it a truthful answer? Until there is something other than speculation and the attitude that 'he HAD to have used' then I will defer to his word.

i read in one of the mags that one of his compatriots had said that he 'spent a lot of money on his arms' back in germany but, again, this might be hearsay as i have no idea as to the veracity of that claim or what it meant ???

if those arms were real i saw no hint of that genetic potential in any of his earlier pics displayed in the mags.

at least they were anatomically fairly correct ie bicep was not 6 times the size of the tri and forearms and yes, they were functional ie wsm events, although they did seem to get in the way somewhat in the stones event particularly. i can tell you, i was convinced (and awestruck) at the time but i was not really aware of synthol then.

yes, i guess it's hard to tell with speculation but then, how often do you actually get proof in this sport. :-\

When I measured Manfred's arm he weighed 330 lbs. Priest weighed 230.
It would be helpful to know Ronnie's arm size at his various bodyweights.
Nothing can be proved without measuring.
Right before I measured Manfred I was speaking to a very, very famous bodybuilder who scoffed at the notion (and rumor) that Manfred's arm was 25"- saying they looked no bigger than 22"- and this was a man with decades of experience at the highest international experience. I was stunned that he would say what he said, but perceptions after all, prove nothing.

mind you, lee would have been extremely bulked at 235. still outrageous measurements, but only pointing this out for perspective on other contest ready arms measured.

dillet had bigger arms than ronnie but they NEVER came close to matching ronnie's condition.

that's another reason why i think dillet probably used a lot of oil, because he never got that olympia level seperation and detail in his arms and delts.

It looks like the arm size was about the same or slightly in Coleman's favor.

As far as cuts they weren't good, nowhere near Coleman's refinement then again most guys couldn't match up.

When I measured Manfred's arm he weighed 330 lbs. Priest weighed 230.
It would be helpful to know Ronnie's arm size at his various bodyweights.
Nothing can be proved without measuring.

Joe,

Knowing what you know, in your OPINION are Jones's claims that Sergio's arms were around 21" pumped in 1972 legit. I have always thought Sergio was possibly the most gifted man in the world when it comes to overall arm size bi, Teri and forearm relative to his body weight.

Jones' claim on Oliva's arm was likely accurate - around 20.5" cold, which comes out to over 21" pumped. HOWEVER his claim on Schwarzenegger's arm was either deliberately innaccurate or the timing of the measurement was misleading. From any number of pics from that era including these it's obvious their arms were about the same absolute size.

Arnold clearly has much better arms than sergio. shape, peak, size, and most of all definition, all better on arnold.

Personally i agree but objectively and in terms of judging it's closer because Oliva had better tris AND forearms, and more muscle volume since they had about the same measurement despite a 3" height differential.

Also, there are shots of Oliva with better definition than shown in the '72 show.

arnold's arms look a little more conditioned than oliva's in that pic, yes.

pumpster, imo it's believable that jones' legitemately measured arnold's as 19.75 slightly pumped and sergio's 20.5 cold when you take into account the fact that sergio had considerably larger triceps at the time. triceps take up 2/3rds of the total volume of the upper arm so it's not so hard to believe.

arnold had a bigger frame and much more peak, especially in his right bi (sergio had longer attachments), but sergio had bigger arms.

swenson and manfred don't count in this thread because they were never pro bbers. bbing has never been about just adding more and more size just for the sake of it. neither of those arms ever looked very muscular, like say, bertil, who had anatomically correct (but freaky) dense muscular development.

when you go down the swenson and manfred path you end up running into valentino (i know it's a long way down the road) and he was just an abomination. there was nothing impressive at all (i'm sure everyone agrees) about valentino's arms. sorry greg, but you know it's true. yet, he probably had larger arms than anyone at around the time he decided to do his own surgery on those puss filled things. :-X

Sergio was at a very heavy bodyweight, Arnold was considerably smaller.

It was to Jones' benefit to punt Sergio, as he was his latest disciple/marketing tool.

Yup. The '72 pics confirm about the same size in contest condition. Jones had some good ideas but was/is an emotional nut, hardly someone to rely on in all cases for objectivity.

i'm not a hit believer, but i have read a fair amount of jones and, if anything, he seemed very intelligent. where is there any indication that jones is an 'emotional nut'? mentzer, maybe, but jones ???

i believe jones was very honest. arrogant, aloof, but honest.

if anything he would be more inclined to hype viator, as he took him to the bank, propping him up as evidence of his theories and, judging by the success of the nautilus empire, the combination was a roaring success and jones became a multi millionaire.

jones gave casey's right arm measurement as 19.5" which was somwhat less than arnold's.

this is pertinent because caey's arms were extremely massive and, visually, easily rivaled arnold's (pecs, back, refinement no comparison). it would have been very easy and self serving to state that casey had bigger arms than arnold.

besides, sergio was never a jones disciple and everyone incuding arthur knew it. he was well established before setting foot in arthur's ranch. he was a guest for a while and that's it. jones never made any claim to sergio oliva.

Post by: pumpster on June 27, 2007, 09:49:40 AM
Jones though was arrogant and preachy, like a born-again christian. The early HIT proponents like Mentzer had the same attitudes. Really smart would be to try to avoid this & retain open-mindedness, which they didn't.

Good ideas but not always right-some of the 1970s Nautilus machines were great, others could've been much better which tells me he was usually good but sometimes off. That and the arrogance coupled with animosity between he and Weider was enough to distort the claims on Schwarzenegger.

Clear here that there was virtually no difference in absolute size; the only difference might be in perceived size, since Oliva had a smaller frame & greater volume.

'arrogant and preachy' maybe but definitely not an 'emotional nut' or, at least if he was, i have yet to see evidence of it.

i wouldn't use the analogy of 'born again christian'. that implies follower ie mentzer, jones was an original and independant thinker. he was extremely blunt and directly to the point. not everyone received him well because of this but the man was extremely intelligent. if you didn't agree with him, you better come up with a reason why. if you did he would respect you and listen. if you didn't he would dismiss you along with some verbal venom to send you on your way.

here lies the problem with training ideaology of the time. there was none. just, if a little was good, more must be better and if it wasn't you needed more drugs.

jones came up with a theory that he backed with real science. i believe he underestimated many variables along the way and thus it was flawed but the fact remains he did present some real science and logic.

at the time his training philosophy was considered revolutionary or crazy, depending on which end of the spectrum you came from.

he seemed diametrically opposed to the dogma but, in reality, he wasn't. why? because he didn't give a flying fuck about bodybuilding. he thought it was full of idiots and prostitutes (perhaps for the aforementioned reasons :-\), he went elsewhere to seek his fortune and he was very successful.

many wanted him to set up a federation to oppose weider (including sergio who was a strong advocate) but he didn't want a bar of it. he was simply intrigued by the science of bodybuilding and he trained himself also. casey was his frankenstein and he took him to the bank, only he left him outside. simple as that.

if jones was diametrically opposed to anything, it was bullshit ie inflated measurements, egos, etc (maybe he didn't like egos larger than his own. :-\) which is why he never got into bullshitting himself.

in fact, if he was a sergio backer or was in any way trying to hype him, he wouldn't have given such a damning account of sergio's prowess in the gym. by all accounts, jones made sergio out to look like the veritable whimp in the gym, which was unfair because sergio was a novice to training with this method at the time.

no, jones was one of those rare individuals who told it exactly as it was. in fact i would challenge anyone to provide an occasion that jones was dishonest?

If anyone has seen him in person ( have from his days at 250-320lbs)  they'd agree...I've seen Priest and was very disappointed...I don't believe his arms were ever 21 except offseason when he was a 280lbs fatass...contest I'd say 19 which is still good for a midget...Coleman = 22 maybe 23 on stage...

Like I said no coincidence most Coleman fans are complete idiots , show me where I ever typed the word small they are sub-par in relation to his biceps & triceps absolutely in the context of a balance arms that shows great proportion , they're shaped like bowling pins analogous to having high calves , his forearms ( and ironically the lateral head of his triceps ) are shaped like Al Beckles 

so I never claimed his forearms were small pat attention to what the claim is.

how can they be sub-par? you think just because they're oversized for his forearms it doesn't mean they can't be lacking? you can't possibly be serious? just take a look at his side triceps pose and you'll see what sub-par means  ;) oh and by the way they are oversized ( especially in relation to his forearms which is what oversized mean or if you wanna play word games his forearms are undersized )

The same could be said of Arnold. Doesn't detract from how great the overall effect of his arms was. Sergio had the better tris and forearms, but not only would most people say Arnold's were better but he proved onstage many times that tris plus forearms gets beat by overall more shaped and defined arms.

Same can absolutely be said about Arnold and I've said it many times. and like I was originally saying his forearms are not in proportion with his biceps & triceps which is obvious but some fanboys can't even get that straight and lie and claim I said they were ' small ' his forearms are obviously huge just not as huge and in proportion with his biceps and triceps.

Arnold was arguably the best ever, him and Ronnie top many best arm lists. Maybe their proprtions are desirable? Mattarazzo was the same. Dorian isn't on any such list. A picture from Ronnie's umpteenth Olympia win aged 43 doesn't prove anything more than any of Rocketswitch's inanely turd posts. As you often point out every visible bodypart is judged in every pose, so Ronnie's tris might not look the best in the side tri some years, but the long inner head looks exceptional in many poses, and there are several pics of the outer head looking good in the side tri too some years. I won't post them because I know you know they exist, although I may if you play dumb and lie outright like you did about the '99 decent calves pics.

Who mentioned anything about Dorian? who? please spare us in a lame attempt at turning this into something else , and funny you wanna mention lists Flex magazine's list of best parts of the century doesn't mention Ronnie it has Arnold as best biceps? I've seen another list that put Darrem above Ronnie in biceps so not everyone has Ronnie at the top of the list

And the picture of Ronnie at 43 doesn't mean anything? yet I've seen many , many Ronnie fanboys post pictures from that very contest in best arm threads so I disagree it doesn't mean anything and yes Ronnie's triceps do look good in other poses and I'm glad you mentioned every part gets judged just like his lackluster forearms do , just because you're willing to overlook them doesn't mean the judges would

The point with the Dorian reference and the calves reference is that you talk tripe. You have attempted to prove in the past that Dorian's were better, so your opinion is based on coming across as annoying rather than being objective. That's the relevance.

Ronnie's forearms are great, just not the best on earth ever. Darrem Charles possibly does have even better biceps than Ronnie, what's your point?

So Ronnie's arms aren't worse they're just less balanced? I could agree they're less balanced, as this clearly doesn't stop them being the best. You say Dorian's aren't as good, but are more balanced? So really your idea of balance doesn't necessarily help or hinder actual goodness? Mute point or what.

Although Dillet and Coleman's arms may have taped the same at 22-23", Dillet had much more volume. Coleman's biceps are like rock hard baseballs.

circumference is related to volume, so i dont get what you mean here...

the only thing that would make the arm have more volume would be the length of the upper arm.

so in relative terms, a shorter upper arm with the same circumference would appear far more volumous.

do you mean peak?

actually ND you have been quoted as say ronnie's forearms were small, along with his traps.

yes, it was several years ago even before the truce thread, but you have said this.

those of us who have been owning your ass for years know all about it.

might be hard to dig up the exact quote from 4 years ago though.

but many of us know you did.

obviously, you will try and claim to the newer members that you didn't, but thats a complete and total lie and you know it.

I never quoted you as saying that. other people were saying that and then you jumped the gun and got rilled up about it.

you're implying that ronnie has bad forearms. -point proven

I never said you said ronnie had 'small' forearms. if so show where I did.

Showing one pic of Coleman when he over dieted in 02 and looked like shit and passing it off as if it was what Ronnie looked like the majority of his career. ::)
There is nothing wrong nor has there ever been anything wrong with his forearms...You want to see subpar forearms, compared to to upper arm?  Look at Kai...
Coleman has/had great forearms.  Do they look like Heath's?  No. They are far from "subpar"....If anything his triceps in the side tricep pose is subpar...his out head of his tricep got progressively worse...

to be honest I have never been a fan of ronnie, I think his muscles have a weird shape...quads, abs, arms etc. I don't think he has the best arms, they were of course massive but I don't think they were the best.

dillett was a freak. amazing arms.  I think dillett was superior to ronnie in many ways. he had a better overall structure but his back and chest were lagging.

actually ND you have been quoted as say ronnie's forearms were small, along with his traps.

yes, it was several years ago even before the truce thread, but you have said this.

those of us who have been owning your ass for years know all about it.

might be hard to dig up the exact quote from 4 years ago though.

but many of us know you did.

obviously, you will try and claim to the newer members that you didn't, but thats a complete and total lie and you know it.

nice try though. ::)



WRONG as usual I said his forearms and to small for his biceps and triceps which I proved many times over , idiots like you have piss-poor reading comprehension can't decipher between to small FOR his biceps and triceps and just like the traps I said they were small from the front which I mean narrow when viewed from the front 

See this is what makes you a weasel you think by quoting out of context you accomplished something because as usual you don't have shit and my point still stands that's the best part his forearms were NOT in proportion with his biceps you can't argue that and no amount of trying to steer away from the subject will change that

this quote was not directed at ND.  it was directed at the people in this thread and others who said ronnie had small forearms.

ND got excited because he thought it was directed at him. If hulkster jumps in on it, not my problem.

did you happen to gloss over the pictures I posted from 1996/1998/2004/2003? of course you did because you're being willfully stupid the irony of you calling anyone imbecile  ::)

There is nothing wrong with his forearm? nonsense it's not in proportion with his biceps/triceps this is a fact it's obvious throughout his entire career ( hence why I posted pictures from multiple years ) at times it's worse than others but it's obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head up Ronnie's ass that his forearms get dominated by his upper-arms the same way his calves get dominated by his upper-legs

And I'm glad you pointed out Heath because he has really great forearms and Ronnie's don't compare yet do admit this but claim they're great anyway  ::)  it's all about the entire arm complex and how well the muscles are all in proportion with each other and how it's in balance and this simply can't be said for Ronnie but then again most Coleman fans claim his calves are fine so it's to be expected they turn a blind eye

I would say Dillet, Matarazzo and Ronnie have the biggest, or most impressive arms. Savalainenana had almost fake looking bis and no tris at all, but impressive none the less. Levrone had great arms too. I'd probably vote Ronnie purely because I remember what everyone thought when the 2004 press conference pics came out.

Sticking to your lies doesn't mean it's magically make them true we all know you have a long history of lying on here from your fake screencaps which you still defend , to your made-up quotes I busted you using , taking things out of context and by the way thanks for proving my point his forearms are to SMALL for his biceps and triceps  ;) recall you have many times been busted posting things out of context it's the typical move of a weasel who has nothing else which in essence if you

Again if you think you can take shit out of context and it becomes truth not how it works , I said and continue to say and prove Ronnie's forearms are to SMALL for his biceps/triceps and I said his traps appears small from the front I proved that too , I'm not running from anything or getting defensive just exposing you for being a weasel and trying to take things out of context which is typical of you

I can keep proving my point how about you? how about the comment that Ronnie's calves were more detailed than Dorian and Dorian lost the 1993 Mr Olympia? still waiting to for that proof  ;D  ;)

Why would I argue about this? what would I have to lose? why does this matter to you? are you desperatly seeking to win an argument?

No I don't think you PMed it doesn't matter because I stand by my statement his forearms are to SMALL for his biceps/triceps

Ronnie does have big forearms no doubts about it , are they big enough to be in proportion with his biceps and triceps? absolutely not and the pic you just posted confirms exactly what I'm talking about.

  I think Lou circa 75', Marko Savolainen and Paul Dillet take the cake. All three of them had legit 24" arms in the off-season. Greg Kovacs was rumored to have 27" arms at 440 lbs off-season, but that would be close to impossible since the diameter of the arms would exceed the length and such an arm wouldn't be functional.

  Ronnie's arms were never bigger than 23", even in the off-season. Remember that, even though he was huge, Ronnie had relatively small joints and round muscle bellies that made his arms appear to be much bigger than they actually were.
