Title: How long until Phil Heath topples Ronnie for 'best arms ever'?
Post by: 240 is Back on November 30, 2008, 12:22:48 PM
he hasn't done it yet, but he's close.

Or, will he never be able to be as diced as Ronnie was - at this early point in his career, Ronnie's skin seemed much thinner...

Heath's are huge but somewhat bloated, Ronnie's are huge and shredded.

Priest's arms are overrated.  Heath's are better.

Ronnie's triceps suck.  Heath has a complete arm.

Show Ronnie in a side tricep pose.  Not very flattering compared to the rest of his physique.

Ronnie's triceps look a little thin. Phil's are larger and pop out quite a bit more. Still hasn't developed as much maturity or size, but he's still a young buck... I think that if he plays his cards right, he may be the next King. :o

Ronnie's arm in that pic with the cellphone is fucking ridiculous though. It looks as big as my God damn waist.

Ok, let me rephrase...compared to the rest of his arm his triceps are below average. ::)

Only in a side triceps they look small
But in a Front Double Biceps Ronnies triceps are among the best of all time, they hang like pillows

I disagree: they look pretty damn good when he was at his peak:

striated too, unlike a lot of other guys supposedly known for their triceps..

yes heath arms look like they are blowned up with air within a few weeks. rons arms and from these others guys shows muscle maturity, quality, and shows off hard work in the gym. heath is a blown up doll.

Incorrect sir.  Lee P has the most complete arm of any BBer, including Heath.  Lee's arm has muscle maturity, it doesn't look blown up.  In a couple years we might be saying something different.

Well he can't have the best ever everything doesn't he?

Ronnie have AWESOME and very complete arms, I do like heath arms too, they look more freaky most of the time because he is half Ronnie's size on all other body parts but can hang very close on arms, very comics like.

I tend to agree, while ronnies are bigger i prefer the overall look to heaths.

IN terms of LEE PRIEST vs PHIL HEATH

Who is better when it comes to forearms?
Phil has giant forearms but small wrists, which create the illusion of an even bigger forearm.
Lee has huge forearms but also damn thick wrists..

Which is the better look?

Both  Heath and Ronnie look amazing - when they are that good it comes down to personal preference.

both have incredible arms,ronnies on the tailend of his career and heath is just comin into his own,ronnie has muscle maturity and we all  know that gives a muscle a unique look you can only get from years and years of pumping iron,muscle maturity looks awesome imo,it shows you put in your blood,sweat and tears

He just didn't do the pose well. Huge tris, get out your glasses.

Priest's arms were good but flawed-stubby, no peak, lacked some refinement and vascularity. Heath doesn't have enough detail yet.

Phil will NEVER have arms that can compete with these -whether you are comparing measurements or aesthetics.

Nasser didn't have the "flow" of Ronnie or Flex.  Nasser's time as a top contender for the Mr. O was relatively short, probably 3-4 years, tops.

Ronnie really has alien arms.
unique look that no one else has
heath has the size but lacks the seperation and vascularity, not to mention the insane bicep peak

I guess you don't realize that Nasser's standing closer to the camera and that the other guys had smaller frames. Nasser's arms were alot bigger than Yates but not larger than Coleman. Wheeler's arms were similar size on a much smaller frame than Nasser.

BTW was Nasser "white" ;)

heath does have great arms

look at his thick skin already though  :'(

compare the skin to ronnies - no contest.

cutlers high insulin and gh in the off season is clearly doing the same to heath as it did to cutler.

expect zero veins on heath very shortly, followed by a gut  :'(

Bigger is not always better. Lets not forget shape, peaks, definition (split biceps), etc.  Let's not count Heath out just yet. Remember, he's just and infant in the bodybuilding world with a lot of good days and good training ahead of him.
