Now, this is the story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

:o
i trained them really hard when i was younger, then later i had to limit them because they would take over on back and bicep workouts. i would always use wrist wraps during back because they were getting too big. there was a time when they were over 18".

A friend of mine who is 6.3 have 53cm arms, I think thats 21". In person his arms look big, but on stage they are nothing special. they are big but not as big as you would think from seeing him in person. 20 inch arms on a 5.4 guy will always look bigger than even 22 inch arms on a 6.2-3 guy...

Those forearms are sick!! crazy beyond believe!! ;D ;D ;D 8)

Chris Dickerson had the smallest arms.

baldwin stacks up pretty good to mentzer there. esp with a lighter bone structure. mentzers arms were said to be a shade under 19 inches at there largest but in person they looked pretty huge. pic of young mm.

Just trying to illustrate that Zane had pretty decent sized arms for a guy with a light frame my Dutch friend. :)

I think Dexter has decent size arms too, btw...for his dwarf size.

Francos arms were 18 I believe .. ?

In an old bodybuilding magazine Mike Mentzer was asked about 22" arms he said no one had them ( at that time ) and the biggest his arms ever got was 18" 1/2 I believe and he said he was at his heaviest at that time around 225lbs

His arms surely climbed well over 19 inches in the off season..

i haven't trained much in the last few years, and right now my arms look small and they measure 19". they were 20 and 7/8", basically 21" at the biggest. and because of my frame, they still looked small.
so i can't believe it when guys say Arnold never had 20" arms.

I agree I mean Arnold is 6'1" and his arms looked huge to boot
-

Try measuring them with the arm perfectly straight and the forearm not flexed. They are more like 14''

Zane looks great in these 3 shots

Pre-tear Dorian had good arms, but his upper arms looked smaller than they were because of his huge forearms and massive, thick torso. I doubt Dexter's or Larry Scott's arms were bigger than Dorian's at their respective bests.

Damn 16 are you serious ? I thought maybe Chris Dickerson around 15.5.

Legit pic but man it does look a lot bigger than his left arm.
Everyone has this to some degree, but that is blatant.

On a good day.
lol in stilettos
Arnies arms looked huge even on his massive frame, no way Dexter's were bigger. And comparing close up pics simply doesn't cut it either.
-
Yes,it looks photoshopped.
Wow you are sharp, wes ! ::)
-
Franco's were measured at 18+. Zane probably had the smallest.
-
I measured Arnold's height at 6' 1 1/2". His arms were 21 1/2" in 1968. When you saw him up close you couldn't imagine where he could add any more size to his arms.
Dickerson probably had the smallest arms. Zane's were probably over 18 but not by much.
-

I think your upper arms are 14", hence the jealousy
The guy has genes beyond belief, untrained his upper arms are almost 20", I don't know if you've seen pics of hazbin, guy couldve turned pro

Dickerson's arms were very big when viewed from the back. Did you measure Arnold's arms in 1968?

A 18", or even 17" quality muscle arm on the right frame, will always look better than a 20" arm on a less structurally blessed bber, with inferior insertions, bellies and joints
That is why guys like dickerson, zane, makkawyi, etc whilst not monsters, looked fantastic

Exactly, a conditioned arm is much more impressive than a "big" arm.

what do you do to train your forearm?
:o
Probably nothing special, people comment on the fore-arms all the time, & I have never done a fore-arm exercise in my life. It's genetic.
People always comment on my Delt's also, they ask "what do you do for your Delts'" = "I train shoulders & Tricep HARD once every x10 days" & that's it.
However, it has to be said that my gym is not wall to wall with GetBIG'ers - or they would clearly be saying, your fore-arms are shit, whay & your on juice, loser ;D
PT
-

yeah
But someone with the shape and insertions of ricky wayne or shawn ray always looks more impressive and bigger than the same size or bigger arm with inferior shape
-
does Dexter's right arm look 2 inches bigger than his left?
I have said that for many years now, they are ridiculously unsymmetrical IMO much like Rafa Nadal.

Yes, 17 inches easily and condition size!
-
I'd say over 17" easy
-
here's another thing people ignore.... they say 'Arnold's arms were....... Frank Zane's arms were........
when??? from the first time they competed throughout their entire career they stayed the exact same size????
everyone references the time Arthur Jones measured Arnold's arm. when Arnold went there he wasn't training. he took months off training and drugs every year and shrunk way down. so maybe then his unpumped untrained arm was under 20". he wouldn't have gone to Jones' facility in Florida when he was in a peak training cycle. he would have gone in one of his 'off' periods.
two months later his arms would have been back over 22" i'm sure.

He had pretty big arms for a guy around 5'9". Real athlete too. His top competing weight was over 250lbs.

Dickerson is the most undeserving winner of the Olympia.

I wasn't sure where to put Jay. And just like with Dex, it depends on which arm you measure.

Larry's arms were smallest for sure
