Title: Flex Wheeler, 23" arms my eye !
Post by: Parker on February 27, 2013, 05:08:24 PM
Yeah, these sure are 23s, Joe Weider looks like he outweighs Flex

 http://forum.bodybuildingpro.com/showthread.php?1350-1993-Arnold-Schwarzenegger-Classic. (http://forum.bodybuildingpro.com/showthread.php?1350-1993-Arnold-Schwarzenegger-Classic.)
And a rare pic of what looks to be Joe, from the same vid where Vic Richards had posed in. Dorian with the gut.
(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HwMSYcfSGW0/0.jpg)

Anybody remember that lame ad where Weider was showing Paul Dillett how to pose his back and there was a letter from Paul thanking him?
Well, it obviously didn't work.

Had to fix pic, because a certain Ron will not allow pics from a certain website (ahem spam), it seems.
But there are previous rare pics from the 93 Arnold.

After 20 inches an inch is an enormous landslide. The difference between 21 and 22 is a different planet. So yes curry's are 21 and Flex's are way bigger but no more then 22

Saw Flex at a nutrition store where he was making an appearance in Pembroke Pines FL back in 99! He said he weighed 286 at the time! His arms were stupid big cartoon like! At the time I weighed 215 with a little over 18" arms! I would say his arms were 22" maybe a little bigger in my estimation!

To be honest with you in 1993 Flex Wheeler arms were around 20.5 to maybe 21 .....but  in person  it was hard to beleve they were not over 22 inches....  that's what really matter in BB.

He could tell you 23' in your face and still get away with it.

93 was before Flex used Synthol / Site injections so, off-season around 1999 his arms were probably close to 23"!

The average circumference of an adult man's head is a little over 23".   When looking at photos, compare their biceps to their head.  If it's clear its not even close, chances are high that they are BS'ing about their arm measurement.

At the 5:40 mark they measure it 55cm which equals 21.5 inches

hm i dont know, a former training buddy had quite lean 22inch arms, ridiculously huge, and he measured them infront of ppl, but flexs still look bigger and flex is bit taller than him.

as for levrone i totaly believe it, i seen levrone with my own eyes from maybe 3 feet away.and i seen jp fux many times.levrone is easy 23 inch arms.

To put in perspective Phil Heath measured a few years ago around 22.

It's all in the shape can deceive u

I actually take my comment back about Flex's arms (93) being way bigger then Curry. They are probably the same size, When I saw Curry do a front double on stage I was in awe, the proportions were mind boggling, the most impressive front double in person
