the biggest i've ever seen Lee's arms was the picture in Musclemag where he's shaking hands with Craig Titus in the gym, he's wearing a blue Powerhouse Gym t-shirt and his arms look as big as Craig's chest.

But think about it, Lee's arms are a bit bigger than Dillet's. However Lee is almost a foot shorter than Paul. So, on a pound for pound basis, Lee blows Dillet out of the water.

How do you know that? Very unlikely given the height differential. Dillet's arms look better to me.

incredibly doubtful that lee's arms are bigger than paul's. a 6'1 dillet's arms look enormous even for his height. not as much as the 5'3 lee, but plenty to tell you he's got a fair number of inches on him.

actually wouldn't that be "for his height"? this pound for pound bullshit gets on my nerves. his arms are huge for his height.

but anyway, dingus, you said lee's arms were "a bit bigger" than paul's, and because he was shorter that meant he blew dillet out of the water. clearly you meant that lee's taped bigger than paul's and the height difference made lee's even better. except for the fact that dillet had arms that looked too big for his body and was over six feet tall. that's an even crazier accomplishment.

okay I agree lee's arms may be bigger than some of the taller guys, but not dillet's.  Dillet is just a freak of nature, he was probably the only guy to actually have 24 inch arms, although others have claimed it.

Lee Priest and Paul Dillet were roomates for a year or so.  Ive noticed in this post and other posts similar to this one that people have compared Priest's arms to Dillets and the main point made was that Priest had the same arm shape and mass as Dillet except Priest is shorter.Ive even heard on one post where someone said Dillet looked like a taller version of Priest.Its possible that their training style were similar and that thats y their physiques look so similar in appearence,i.e. Priest being a shorter version of Dillet.Living together they must have discussed and compared training styles.Lee Priest kiks ass

I've said it once and I'll say it again; Priest's arms and delts completely destroy his symmetry, and make his chest look like one of a 12 year old girl. Isn't bodybuilding all about proportion and symmetry ???

dillets chest looks small too

He's way better proportioned though, Dillett still has a chest when he does a most muscular of front double bi... Priests seems to get burried underneat the mass of his arms and delts and just sticks out like a sore thumb.
No disrespect to Lee he's got an amazing body and all that.

NOBODY has 24" arms. That's two feet in circumference. Gunter's arms were recently measured at 22", and they look bigger that Dillett's.

Post by: badlad on May 01, 2006, 01:27:59 AM
First off, Gtbro1 - that shot of Priest and Titus has been photoshopped.
There is no way that Titus is that tall.  ;D

Second, yes there are pros with 24 inch arms.
I site Kovacs (definately) and quite possibly Vic Richards. Have seen both of them in seminars and talked with them up close.
Kovacs arms were immense - and one of my old training partners had 22+ inch arms so before you say I don't know what 22 inches look like guess again. I almost got mine to 20 as well and Kovacs and I are similar in height and I've seen plenty of top bb's over the years so I have a fair idea of relative size.
Kovacs when I saw him - and I asked him to flex his arms etc (which he did) had the biggest arms I have ever seen in person. Can't speak for any other bodybuilders but if anyone had/has 24+ arms then Kovacs did or does.

Thirdly, Priest has got some mighty impressive arms.
But then looking at that pic of Dillett's bicep - it looks like the size of his friggin head. Amazing. Wish I had seen Dillett in person - a true freak of nature (or un-nature if you prefer).

Nah, they're too stubby. One of the best pairs of arms, ya.

3 of Dillet's veins are almost the size of one of Priest's arms.  :o

Vince's arms are better, period. In part because he's taller. I'm not talking about size.

wait a minute.  A few days ago you were saying that Ronnie's biceps "look atrophied".

Now you are saying that Lee's arms aren't great given the fact that they are 20" and have good shape and peak.

Can you see okay?

You guys are ignoring the facts. Yes I said Ronnie's biceps look atrophied. See:
(http://www.ronniecoleman.net/2002olympia7.jpg)

To be counted as one of the greatest in terms of arms - you must have a combination of size and shape. Ronnie is lacking shape. His arms are overrated. In fact, they look plain weird. Priest lacks both size and shape in his arms. 20 inches is being generous - because we know these guys exaggerate. No peak is another fault. These guys are great - they just aren't the greatest.

Greatest arms I would say goes to Jay Cutler with a perfect balance of size and peaks.

PS - I'm most impressed with you Hulkster. You didn't bash Cutler when he posted here. Or did you?

Ronnie's arms looked like that ONCE. Most of the time they look like this:

(http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/1999britishgrandprix/49.jpg)
personally, I don't think I have ever seen better biceps when viewed head on than the pre-gut Ronnie at his best.

in 2003 his arms looked like the shot I posted above. Huge, and amazing. Certainly not overrated.

Dorian was overrated. Ronnie's arms are not.

And no, I did not bash Jay.

Jay Cutler better than those guys?  ??? If Jay's arms were in their league he might've won once in a while actually.

Some of Jay's shortcomings are a lack of arm defo & separation, plus he doesn't  have the same volume. Less noticable on that double bi and more obvious when his arms are by his sides. With his arms down it's obvious he doesn't Ron's detail, separation or size.

Ron is one of the all-time greats when it comes to arms.

ummm... ronnie's arms blow most other pro's arms off the stage when they are standing side by side:

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50084.0;id=51597;image)
ronnie's biceps have something that only a select few (and in fact only one other Mr. Olympia) have: a defined split (samir had this too).

saying his biceps are "atrophied" and that his arms are "overrated" might be even dumber than ND's infamous "dorian has better overall arms than Ronnie" comment.

You think that THESE arms are overrated?:

Post by: Oliver Klaushof on May 01, 2006, 08:34:19 PM
I think in the picture I posted - with good lighting (not the dark lighting in your pics) showing both men on the same stage facing straight ahead - well....Cutler's biceps are just bigger and fuller AND peaked. Ronnie's have no fullness - giving them their "atrophied" appearance. Coleman has odd muscle shapes all around - not just biceps - Calves and abs too. He's massive......but he's odd lol. Not my choice for the number 1 guy.

Post by: pumpster on May 01, 2006, 08:40:58 PM
To use the term atrophied you just have a thing for Jay. Ron's bis are ridiculous. Jay's bis are fuller, not bigger. Looking at bis & tris, the overall arm, Ron's are just much bigger and more detailed.

With his arms down, Jay doesn't have enough size or detail..arms looking almost Yatesian.  :-\

In terms of height/measurement, they're no bigger. Add in the lack of detail and overall lack of volume and it's one of the reasons he's never won.

Not to bash Jay, but I would bet that even HE would be the first to tell you that Ronnie has better biceps.

If you think Jay has better biceps than Ronnie, then you are very rare, indeed. Sorry, but many, many people think that Ronnie just might have the best biceps EVER, especially in his "pre-gut" days:

(http://digilander.libero.it/mrolympia2/rc37.jpg)

Better than Arnold's perhaps?
Better than Robby robinsons?

Jays biceps are fuller. not better.

there is a big difference.

Ronnie has one of the best pair of biceps in history, thats no question about it.
Thats some guys who can have maybe best biceps, or triceps than Lee for instance...But i never seen someone that had ALL of this at the same time...
 From the shoulder to his wrist, imo he has THE best arms in the history of bodybuilding...
 And lets not even enter on the forearm subject...hehe

 Now if you guys are talking about Biceps alone, than yes, there a lot of guys who can be considered better (i myself would put Arnold in front of him)

You've just discredited yourself suggests the mediocre arms were his only weakness. He always had a lack of taper as well as several areas that were just ok.
