When I was growing up the best forearm was Chuck Sipes. Frank Mcgrath would definitely be in the running. BUT HAZBIN TAKES IT HANDS DOWN!!!!

Flex Lewis’s are very good also.

Heath and Yates had the best forearms

I much as I hate to admit it, Phil wins this in a landslide. Lee's arms are great, but are the length of the average 16 month old.

Did you ever try arm wrestling?

Did you ever try arm wrestling?
yes, many times i was approached by proclaimed world caliber arm wrestlers. they would always say they never wrestled anyone that looked like me and would i mind if they tried. i have never lost.
now my connective tissue is too messed up and i would pop a tendon or ligament before my muscle would fail.
i learnt the technique when i was young, so that helped. same as fighting. big muscles don't make you win, but if you have the ability to
win the stronger you get the better.
-
then vs. now
Still huge !!
👍🏻

then vs. now
"F...ng A" Just out of curiousity, how big is it (your forearm I mean)?
ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION!!

Realise this is an academic- if not pointless- question, but what did you do specifically to train your forearms? ;D

ever test your grip strength? I used to work w a guy who had a grip like a vice... huge gh looking hands.. popeye forearms.. never worked out a day in his life.. guy used to roll fry pans, crush fruit w one hand, open big jars w 2 fingers, axe to the nose trick, screw in screws w his bare fingers, ect.. crazy to see in person

As you wisely understood, genetic freaks grow no matter what!
His 8 inch wrists and loooong muscle bellies are give away :)

grip strength doesn't always equate to being good at arm wrestling. i know a guy who can close the 350 lb hand grips anything 200 lbs and under breaks in his hands , yet he's not that good at arm wrestling.

Yes, you need strength in the bicep, triceps, forearm, shoulder and lats as well but having insane grip strength is a start.

for the time and drugs available. Larry Scott had great forearms.

Interesting, so are guys like Brzenk gifted in the robustness department? He seems to have not suffered much albeit beating the shit out of his arms/shoulders with huge dudes for decades.

Crazy huge in both pics.That vascularity was crazy.

Flex Lewis’s are very good also.
Yeah and heath,5 way tie.

as a teen i was into bodybuilding as well as motocross so i focused quite a bit on forearm training.

i never did any specific grip test, other than at the chiropractor to see any nerve impingement. when i would let go after an arm wrestle the
guy would have a circular bruise around his thumb from my grip.

U LOOK GOOD HAZ ,GOOD TO SEE YOU SURVIVED BEING A HARDCORE BBER
-
Damn, Hazbin. Still looking good. You are on a short list of guys who deserved but never got pro cards, like Edgar Fletcher, Gerard Dente, Mendenhall and Leidelmeier. I dunno if Jeff King qualified (?); regardless, you were up there with those guys. I'd include poor Curt Leffler too, I suppose.

Do you train whole body or just arms.
Them forearms are still great :o

thank you, but i had an uncanny ability to look the worst all year on the day of the show. dammit. always
screwed up the last week. no wonder people spend so much on prep gurus.

Excellent physique Sir Hazbin!

You sir, have serious myostatin deficiency :)
I would cry "Shopped" if it wasn't you.
Such a ridiculous ascention starts from wrists, but you are right about competition day, I saw your competition pics and couldn't believe how ordinary you looked on stage.
I guess it was a blessing, a pro bber carreer wouldn't help your health much.
-
i do pulldowns maybe twice a month, limited by back issues.
still have back width, but not much detail.
Good going - injuries are a real hassle to deal with / work round
Very few get to an older age without any whether they be from
The gym or day to day life.
Do you do other activities / sport now as your not in the gym as often.

What's going on with this guy nowadays, did he have a kidney transplant?

What's going on with this guy nowadays, did he have a kidney transplant?
Yes he won his pro card in 2013 iirc & He had failing kidneys then - When he finally had to go
Into hospital in later that Year his kidney function was down to around 15% or less.
Apparently he was aware his kidneys were failing for approx 18mnths prior.
He lives around 20mls from me & has a Hardcore Gym - Full of wannabe drug dealers & plastic gangsters - I stopped going there just before he became ill.

As much shit as Cheath gets for everything else, his arms and especially the brachioradialis (circled in pic above) are extremely impressive.

Probably the best forearms ever, 2nd place is Dorian, 3rd place is both Mike Mentzer and Casey Viator

Honorable mention Gunnar Rosbo , Oliva and Priest
-
Gunnar Rosbo next to Lou Ferrigno, Rosbo has a small chest compared to Ferrigno's massive chest, but his forearms are outstanding, Lou had great forearms too

All these guys have great forearms. I would go with Lee Priest because of his ridiculous overall arm development.

The topic is BEST forearms. Not freakiest..
-
Sergio for the win. You can't use oil inject guys over real muscle.

Sergio's forearm is wider than Phil's clavicle.

I like this guy and I really do hope he wins the real Mr. Olympia, but really now...No real man should put on garb that makes one look like a boogalumpa. Those snorts and the rest of the ensemble are for genuine fuckwits. It makes him look extra stubby.

You have a crush on him maybe?

I would say I get plenty of forearm work from deadlifts, bent over rows and hammer curls
-

Of course not. I just happen to think he is built better than the last few "winners" of that pageant.

Dorian is nowhere close to the top 10. His arms -- including forearms -- have always sucked.
