you are the racist - you criticize every white bber.

plenty of guys have better amrs than ronnie - dillet, flex and fox - all of whom are black.

post of shot of ronnie where his tri's are flexed and look good.

in case, your dumbass cant read or your power rod snapped and hit you in the head again, best arms does not mean just biceps.  with ronnie's triceps, he is not and should not be included in a "best arms" list.

Agreed.  Damn, this is an awesome pic of flex.  All the other guys mentioned have great biceps.  Mike Christian had great triceps but can't think of anyone who had a better combination of both like Flex did. 

I'm surprised no one has said Arnold yet.

Mike Mentzer's arms are what made him Mr. Universe. Some of the best tris and forearms ever.

Mike Mentzer's arms are what made him Mr. Universe. Some of the best tris and forearms ever.

Mentzer had virtually no arm or chest definition, areas where Szkalak beat him. In terms of triceps there were other guys who were better. He never had Robinson's density or cuts. He could never compete for best arms with these guys from the 70s in terms of size or definition, he had to win on good overall upper and lower body balance. Same thing against Schwarzenegger in 1980.

Great arms, right up there and should've won at least one Olympia in fair contests. Comparable but not better than Robinson, Dillet, Coleman, Schwarzenegger, Fox, Oliva, etc.

That pic's not any more special than any number of others. If you look at Coleman & Wheeler side by side in the late 90s, Wheeler looks incredible yet Coleman still had more arm size, better peaks and more refinement/detail.

-Priest never had Coleman's refinement or thin skin.
-Priest never had peaks
-SF (stubbiness factor was real, taller guys had better flow and aesthetics)
-Even without forearms Coleman's arms are still better than Priest.

Resorting to "aesthetics" is due to the fact that Mentzer loses on every criteria and will never be remembered as having anywhere near best arms. Unfortunately Mentzer's arms (and chest) were less aesthetic (bloated from drugs), less cut, less refined AND quite a bit smaller. Oh but he was white. ;D

kamali 1

valentino 1
sergio 1

  Taking into consideration biceps, triceps, forearms, both for size and shape, Sergio definitely has the best arms of all times. Some have bigger arms, but Sergio's combination of mass and shape is just out of this World.

but overall coleman..
quite easily



Arnold, Ron even Robinson had outrageous bis, but their tris had excellent size and were pretty much in balance, it's a misconception that they had Ruhl type imbalance. Triceps unless they're outrageously big or cut usually just don't jump out as much as biceps.

Mentzer's arms had balance, but so did Robinson, Fox, Padilla, Szkalak, Callender, etc., with MORE size, far more cuts and equal or better aesthetics. I'll give Mike solid balance and good forearms & thickness, but otherwise he didn't stand out at all in that crowd; the hype with him is tremendous.

Fuck Ronnie, no one single BBer in history beats Dorians front double bicep! Size, thickness and especially aesthetics come together to utterly destroy Ronnies noodle arms.

The first Mr Olympia Larry Scott had full and balanced development in his biceps, triceps and forearms.

Priest isn't necessarily even in the top 10 because of:

-SF (stubbiness factor) - none of the flow of taller guys
-Lack of peak
-Lack of detail & refinement.


Among shorter guys i'd take Padilla's arms.

Agreed, this was true balance from someone who was a student of BB training. Also had superior aesthetics and was one of the very first BBs with real size in the 1960s after being one of the first clearly on roids. In the context of that era the arms were enormous. In the early 70s Schwarzenegger said those were the best arms.

Sergio's arms were awesome but his biceps were so long and full that I don't think they had very good shape.  In regards to size, his biceps/triceps/forearms were in perfect proportion.

1. ronnie

2. fox

flex had great arms but nowhere near the detail, density and thickness of the above.

imo fox did the best with what was available to him, supplements wise. i'd love to know just how much gear fox used. his density and thickness was far ahead of anything i can remember seeing during his peak.
