Title: How big are Gustavo's arms?
Post by: M1 on January 16, 2006, 07:54:59 AM
I reckon they're only about 18 or 19 inches

He's about 5ft 6, and his arms arn't as big as his head (about 22 inches), so I can't see them being any bigger that 19.

If he was like 6ft or over, they'd look like sticks, but cos he's 5ft6, they look way bigger

what do you guys think his arms are?

I think Gustavo has a shot, but I think Branch does too. I saw some pix of Branch in MD yesterday and I have to say I was impressed.  He obviously has the work ethic and is willing to take the (necessary?) risks.  His conditioning is always on and he keeps improving.  I think he may be the one to break the short man’s curse.

I agree I am a big Branch fan. I live in Dallas and got to see him at the Europa Show.  I also saw him in a mall one time with some girl. Every on was just staring at him like they were scared I was probably the only person who new who he was. (He is one hairy Mother fucker in the off season)

Arm's 1-2" less than Jay's, who is better than him. By the time Ron & Jay are gone, someone more compelling will win, such as Gunter or Martinez.

Gustavo will be a good runner-up or top 5.

i like Gustavo and his New columb in MD was awesome. I think he should've had 2nd at the O and he also beat ronnie in the challange round.  If you read it, it says Ronnie imbaressed him in front of his family, you see ronnie is a 40 year old teenager still and hes high on Mr. O power (being the best) Gustavo is married and has a family and has responsibilities. I just think that would make for a better champion.

well the sad thing is that one day Mr. Cocky Badell may be Mr O, but he sure as hell ain't a good role model, he's cocky, arrogant, brassful and full of hot air  :-\

I would say Gustavos, arms are about 22 " .He trains at my gym,  my arms are 21 " and his arms are bigger then mine so I would say his arms are about 22"to 22" 1/2 easily.His arms have gotten alot bigger, he looks good, he weighs about 275lbs now and has good shape .

You can't say Gunter will take over when Jay and Ronnie are gone because Jay is YOUNGER than Gunter.

Gustavo's arms do look a little bigger in that pic, but he looks a good 3 or 4 inches taller.  Lee Priest is like 5 foot 4 with 21 or so inch arms.  Lee probably has the biggest arms in bodybuilding compared to the size of his body.

Gustavo will be a good runner-up or top 5.

That's my feeling.

Gustavo is impressive by himself as all bodybuilders are. But when you compare him to Jay and Ronnie he just gets dwarfed. It's his height. He's just too short. The most impressive thing about him to me is his shredded mid section. I favor Jay or Gunter. Jay has the best chest and maybe quads too imo. Jay is lightyears ahead.

That last quarter turn shot really shows how much better Gustave's midsection is than Jay - which used to be Jay's big strength against Ronnie, gone.

Back shots just reinforce how fucking insane Ronnie is. Although many say he is "aging" "getting old" "nearing the end" he still smokes everyone with the back. And as we say with dorian, if you're back is dominant, you will reign as long as you want.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gustavo surpass Jay when Ronnie retires.

I assume you are kidding, he placed 3rd at the Olympia.  His arms are well over 20 inches.  At most gyms, your average gym rat/ steroid user have 18 inch arms.  I assume you have never seen a pro bodybuilder in person.

P.S.   He is 5' 8''

Post by: 21Guns on January 17, 2006, 04:41:40 AM
his arms are at least 21inches in the off season,and over 20 in contest shape.If not bigger.I know pros exaggerate about measurements,but those of you who are saying 18,or 19 are not very well educated in the area.hes about 5ft8,and his arms are thick bis and Tris.Ronnie told me his are 23.I'm not a pro but mine are almost 22.Larry Scott at 5ft6,in the 1960s had 20 in arms.You can go to any gym and find someone with 19 inch arms.So a pro,who's known for thick dense arms are at least 21 off season,maybe bigger.

ive heard it stated that Ronnies arms have reached 24-25" but cant figure out how, after all these years, they still manage to grow by inches when everyone else his age are stuck at the same size or decreasing rapidly

Gus can have arms as big as he wants, but i still dont rate him as a top contender
Title: Re: How big are Gustavo's arms?
Post by: Hurricane Beef ! on January 17, 2006, 11:56:04 AM
I would say Gustavos, arms are about 22 " .He trains at my gym,  my arms are 21 " and his arms are bigger then mine so I would say his arms are about 22"to 22" 1/2 easily.His arms have gotten alot bigger, he looks good, he weighs about 275lbs now and has good shape .

And you're smoking weed, or pole? Oh yeah, both. 22 1/2 inch arms . . . and your's 21" ::)
