Funny you say cause those pics of Robby he looks huge but you can tell it's mainly illusion do to his muscle shape. My guess would be he goes about 218 in those pics.

There's a link over at Mayhem about Rich Gaspari. In it he's posing with Ed Kawak and someone else. Ed looks GIANT. Always has to me.
Then you reference the IronAge post I've talked about quite a bit, and you see how much of an illusion Ed really is. Looks to be 250 onstage, and about 6' tall. Then you see a pic of him with someone of that size, and he practically looks like Gary Coleman.

Robby competed around 210#, except for one year where he dropped down under 200# because they had 2 weight classes at the Olympia in the old days-under 200# and over 200#.

it's all joint, insertion and muscle bellies. this is Matarazzo when they were claiming his arms were 23". mine were barely over 19" cold at the time and they look pretty close in actual circumference. he totally kills me in shape, which gives the illusion of size, as Moosejay states. look also at the size of Mike's cranium, which again makes his arms appear larger.

if your arms look close in circumfrance, how is Mike giving an illusion of size? illusion = barely, if at all, being able to recognise the actual size/weight/whatever underneath the illusion.

and you're right, your arms do look almost as big as mike's. it's pretty easy to see that. mike isnt giving off much of an illusion in my eyes.

that's the thing; standing next to me, his arms don't look that big. mike is 100 times the bodybuilder i could ever be, but i look a similar size.  that's is the whole point of Moosejay's topic here.  when on stage Mike looks way more massive than me do to the tiny joints and insertion points. his arms being bigger than his head has as much to do with his head being small, but that is the theory of relativity at work.  my arms were too big at the elbow and shoulder tie-ins,, making a less dramatic flair and making my arms look unimpressive at a similar size.

i was only commenting on that pic right there, but you're right, onstage when he hits poses, his arms and body look freakishly big. much bigger than the photo. its probably partly because you also have wide shoulders and are turned more front-on to the camera than Mike, plus tight tanktops usually always give the impression of being smaller, add to the fact it's black, so you can't see the chest outline... you get the point. many factors in that photo as to why you match upto him sizewise, if not making him look small in some areas.

in the picture we see only the shadow of Matarazzo arms.
its not more than 20 inches,may be less...
if you want to see Matarazzo really monster 23 inch guns you have to see his pictures from EARLY nineties.
  he had only one competition that he looked unbelevable huge -no doubt that it was IRONMAN 92.
Title: Re: When it comes to SIZE....
Post by: 240 is Back on May 02, 2008, 02:32:19 AM
standing alone, with good shape and a small head, matarazzo would look giant.

this explains why he was so incredible in ads/magazine pieces, yet dwarfed onstage.

You need to give yourself credit. Whereas yes Mike had big arms, his lacked detail in his biceps and triceps. Especially when doing a front double bi ( or back), you match up pretty well...

Brett is a muscle bear, gay and there's photos you can Google to find out what he looks like. With hair, you do look like him facially (ironic to say "facial" when talking about a muscle bear! ;D ), but even if you put on 50lbs of fat, you would still be leaner than him.

Which is why I have owned a cell  phone jammer for about two years now.

Looks like a cell phone....shuts off all cells for 75 foot radius....never get interrtupted in meetings or anything anymore...restauarnts, office, giving lectures....I get respect in silence and attention....whether boors like Cormier know it or not

And Cormier....what a colossal dumbass....yeah babyboo or whatever you guys say

Cell phone jammer.

A phone jammer transmits low power radio signals to cut off communications between cell phones and cell base stations. It does not interfere with any communications other than cellular phones within the defined regulated zone.
Upon activating a phone jammer, all idle phones will indicate "NO NETWORK." Incoming calls are blocked as if the cellular hand phone were off.
When the phone jammer is turned off, all cell hand phones will automatically re-establish communications and provide full service.




Provides Acoustics Isolation.

A phone jammer provides the ultimate solution in any area where cellular communications frequently cause nuisance either by loud incoming call rings or resulting loud telephone conversations. Examples of places where cell phones can be disruptive include:

. Public Transport    (trains, busses, etc.)
. Theatres    (movie theatres, concert halls, playhouses, opera houses, etc.)
. Lecture rooms
. Libraries
. Museums
. Restaurants
. Schools           and        Universities (classrooms, lecture halls, auditoriums, etc.) cell phone jammers can prevent students from SMS cheating.
. Places of   Worship        (mosques, shrines, churches, temples, etc.)
. Country Clubs
. Sporting Events
. Recording Studios
. TV Stations, Radio Stations, etc.

Protects Against Breach Of Security Policy.

Cell phones are innocent looking communication devices that enable continuous transmission of voice/data. In secured places, where policy does not warrant the use of mobile phones, it is almost impossible to detect a person conducting cell phone conversations or to spot other such misuse, especially when mobile phones are very small. Examples of places where cell phone use may not be allowed include:

. Businesses    (conferences, board of directors rooms, seminars, meeting rooms)
. Government Building                 and Government Complexes
. Law Enforcement Facilities
. Police Stations
. Drug Enforcement Facilities
. Prison Facilities, Jails, Etc.
. Courts of Law and Court Houses
. Embassies
. Military    Installations,         Military Complexes, and Military Training Centres

Addresses Safety Issues.

In accordance with fire code regulations, mobile phones must be switched "off" in any area that has a potentially explosive atmosphere, including "petrol service stations" where sparks could cause an explosion or fire. These preventable accidents occur more frequently than most people are aware.
Areas where mobile phone use is prohibited include:

. Petrol/ Gas Stations
. Oil Refineries and Storage Facilities
. Offshore Oil Platforms
. Petrol/Gas Transportation Vehicles
. Chemical    Refineries   and Storage Facilities
. Chemical Transportation Vehicles
. Laboratories
. Fireworks Factories
. Liquefied    Petroleum            (LPG) Refineries and Storage Facilities
. LPG Transportation Vehicles
. Natural   Gas Refineries and Storage facilities
. Natural Gas Transportation Vehicles
. Power Plants
. Industrial   Plants   (or anywhere the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders)
. Hospitals

We recommend low power cell phone jammers for use in all the listed areas for obvious safety reasons.
