Pro armwrestler Alexey Voevoda. Fan of him.  Forearm size is 18.9 inches and 21" arms.  This guy isnt even a pro bodybuilder or takes all these crazy dosages of drugs.

I think Alexeys forearms are both about the same size.  Seen many full pictures of him and videos looks the same to me.  Maybe the right just a bit larger but probably the same.

his forearms are nowhere near 18.9,and arms are not even close to 21,maybe 16 and 17.5 tops.

I'm sure Alexeys arms are 21" with over 18" forearms.  He doesnt even take all these steroids or supplements like pro bodybuilders and still has bigger forearms.  Just shows you what hard training is about.  In the video both upper arms and forearms looks big.  heres a clip...

McGrath's look bigger than Viators and more impressive than Viator or Priest. Very similar in shape and even a little bigger than Oliva's.

I would also take Chuck Sipes over Viator due to better density and over Priest because of Priest's SF (stubbiness factor).

Here's Sipes & Viator in that order:

At the GNC show a while back, Joe Roark measured Lee Priest's forearm at 15 3/4" clinched fist, and 17" goosed. At the time he was 235 lbs.

The great powerlifter Doug Young who was huge, only had a 16 1/2-17" forearm.

The arm wrestler has excellent arms, but no way are they close to 19".

lol.  No way are his forearms and biceps even close to those measurements.

true

he has very large bis and forearms but not near those measurements.

for one thing, his tris are not close to the development required for a true 21" arm, which is significant when you consider that tris take up 70% of the total size potential of the upper arm.

false claims has always been a mainstay of the muscle building world and, as far as his natural status? you can file that one with his bogus size claims. ;)

kiwiol, you have massive forearms in those shots. obviously you have a short arm with long bellies.

your forearms remind me of steve brisbois'.

hahahaha I just made a comment about him probably being good at arm wrestling (that in hindsight does sound pretty gay) then just played along with it.  His forearm is freaky but I'm doubting the claim that "beautiful women love them".  ;D
