Thanks, MC, but it was already on CNN breaking news a few days ago.

Why not 24 inches? ???

Why not 24 inches? ???

Toney Freeman does not have 23 inch arms. What you are seeing is the same old tape measure trick that bodybuilders have been using for years. Hidden from the camera on the other side of his arm there is about 2" of slack on the tape measure.
True 23 arms would be bigger in circumference than the average man's head. So when you see someone in a picture claiming to have 22-23" arms, compare them to the persons head in the picture. You'll clearly most are full of shit.

I thought the skinny little 'All-star Schmoe' fela took measurements already, no ?

He is something like 6'2 and has long arms so it can be possible.
-
well in the first pic the tape is totally curved giving him an extra inch
on the second the tape is straight but we cant see shit in terms of numbers.
the guy is more likely in the 22 (55cm) area.
-
His fans love him .
-
ESPN already had a segment on that on sport center

No way, maybe an inch at most, but those arms are 22 easy, he is over 300 pounds and has a very big frame

Funny he does that, yet he looks weird w/o the 'stache.
23s at what, 280+? Paul Dillet would scoff...I wonder how the two would compare?

23 inch arm on one person is different to another person, its all about shape that's what creates the illusion of size

very true. my arms were over 20 inches and never looked that big on my frame.

you are a fucking idiot douche "rudee". Toney has no reason to lie and you are missing the fact that he is 300 lbs and 6'-2". arms are not round in cross section like a head. hope this helps.

I've seen your pic your arm looks quite big
Mater of opinion I guess
But to further illustrate my point also if the guy has huge delts huge chest and back .. They will creat the illusion of smaller arms
Eg heath yes he has big arms but because his chest is lacking for pro alread good arms will look even better
On the opposite end of the spectrum we have markus, branch, to some extent johnnie huge chest and back makes their arms look smaller

Very good point, so true, infact I guarantee Markus's arms are bigger then Heath's

I attended the 2007 Mr O and shook hands with all top competitors at the 'meet the Olympians night'. Toney's arms looked bigger than everybody including Culter and Ronnie. The only guy who compared size wise was Wolf. Remember Toney and Wolf are 3-4 inches taller than all the other guys. I met an off season Heath at the expo that year and his arms although huge were nowhere near Freemans' or Wolf's. If Toney can't have 23' arms then nobody does.

exactly, Toney is fucken huge.
-
An extra inch on arms makes a big fuckig difference, it's volume.
But Toney is tall and wide, long arms so the number is going to be higher tha your average manlet.
But just saying 23 maybe 24 is crazy lol, big difference between the two.

yup, that is like the difference between a 500 lb bench and a 600 lb bench. or an 11 second hundred meter to a 10 second hundred meter

I have seen both Toney Freeman and Paul Dillet up close, both who are around the same height. Dillet definetly had arms it least an inch bigger than Freeman! Dillet and others claimed his arms were 23 inches!

no way for you to tell that
like i said shape creates the illusion
-
I took this measurement and can vouch for its precision and accuracy.

Paul Dillet was at his height in the 90s, before Toney got his Pro card---Paul was 280+ at 6'1-6'2, Toney was competing at what, 260+ at 6'2? I guess Paul would have bigger arms...Also Paul didn't have big peaks, his arms were full and round, like Sergio's.
I wonder how they would compare at their respective bests. As both are probably the most symmetrical "big men", ie ones with pleasing lines.

He's at the age where the disappearing tricep starts to show its ugliness...Disappearing tricep=form of Palumboism

On a similar note; Billy Smith measured Flex's BF% at 0.00003% once.

"Flat Biceps" Paul...go to 5:51

will need THE LUKE to verify these claims

You also have to take in the detail of the arms, and shape---V taper...a great V-taper/small waist makes a good size arm look bigger.
In terms of detail, Phil Heath is a good example---during his Rookie yr, his arms were just as big as Darrem's, or maybe it "seemed" that way, due to detail.
Your arms are vascular, thus giving a image of size as well.

yup. two guys that train at my gym, one has very wide shoulders and the other has very narrow shoulders. they are both about 250, and you would swear the narrow shoulder guys arms are an inch bigger than the wide shouldered guy. they measured them one day, and the wide shouldered guy had arms one inch bigger. they couldn't believe it.
-
I'm surprised we haven't had some people talk about how they're "actually probably only like 18's"
based of what gh15 used to say
-

Paul is fuller and just as lean and dry, both have pleasing lines but Toney would destroy him from the rear shots, so it would be a good comparison but Dillet would still get the edge
-
2 arms can be the same measurement (22 inches) at the SAME height
doesn't mean they are the SAME size?
a big peak will exaggerate a measurement.
EDIT: i think lol
-
They can be 25 inches for all I care but they don't look impressive.
Lee Priest's biceps crush Freeman's.

Of course, good point right there,.. the more narrow you are the bigger you arms look

This is true
Big shoulders and chest cane make the biggest arms look small

I have a picture with Vince flexing my right bicep, I will try and find it and post it and everyone can try and guess the size of my arm vs Vince's!

Yeah, 16 inches on a midget look pretty impressive in a picture, but wait until you accidentally step on him at some EXPO.

Dont be jealous because of your brutal 12inch arms.
