Anyone who said Arnolds arms were less than 20 inches is full of sh*t!

and upon hearing about this Arnold and Franco pumped their arms on the plane on their way to Florida.

The mental picture of Arnold and Franco furiously pumping their biceps in an airplane kills me right now 

Stewardes we NEEED MORE WEIGHT...god damit....more weight!!!!!!

Arnie had some mega uneven arms. His right arm had a huge egg shaped peak while his left was kinda flat compaired to the right. ALL of his one arm shots are done with his right arm and his double bi shots are usally slightly twisted to hided the difference. From the back though it doesnt really show up to much

Those pics of Arnold in light blue trunks were when he was at his heaviest and freakiest!!! He must of been around 250!!!

Here is his most muscular from that shoot. Posted many times before...

Holy smoking gun, Batman. Is that our own True Adonis standing between Arnold and Dave D?

His chest is absolutely ridiculous! I cannot believe how thick it is in that shot!

The first photo is definitely morphed. I've seen photos from the same video, and while impressive, his arms didn't look anywhere near that big.

I don't think anyone except Sergio and maybe Larry Scott had 20" arms in the 60's and 70's. A true 20" arm is a freakishly HUGE arm. To put things in perspective, Gunter's arms were recently taped at 22", and he weighs over 300 lb in contest shape. Someone on Getbig measured Lee Priest's arms at a little over 20", and many people say he has the freakiest arms ever.

I'd like to know what you guys are doing to pump your arms up. My arms don't gain much over a quarter inch when pumping up.

i hope youre not referrnig to the first pic in the thread because youre chatting shit if you are. The 2 pics are years apart as you can tell from his features, hell even his hair is different. As i said it was filmed by Wag Bennett and his wife when he lived with them in England in the 60's

The point of this thread was to say that if his arms were that huge in the 60's you better believe they were over 20 in the mid seventies. My friend and one time training partner was a top ten guy at the 2001 nationals. He was a super heavy. 240 lbs contest. His arms where a shade under 20 inches and couldent hold a candle to Arnolds. Ive seen a few trully 20 inch arms in my life. Those arms on Arnie are far better and more massive. My guess would be Arnolds arms at there most massive were just shade under 21 inches cold. 20.75" cold. Almost 22" pumped.

Here is the corrected picture.

In almost every pic you see of Arnold flexing, his arms look 20-21 inches right? It's safe to assume he's pumped up in the photos. So it's not farfetched to think his arms were 19.5 inches cold. My arms are 15.5 inches cold and I can pump them up a good inch after I work them out. If his arms were 21 inches cold, then he should be able to pump them up to 23 or 24 inches. Ronnie Coleman's arms measure that large, yet Arnold comes nowhere close to that. You also have to realize that Arnold had relatively weak triceps, forearms, and shoulders which created the illusion his biceps were much larger than they were.

mine are a little over 18" pumped at at an inch or 2 taller are no where near as impressive at all.  dont forget 20" hangin by side. mine are over 18" pumped flexed. i well believe he had over 20#" flexed

[gracie bjj]

arnolds arms were way over 20 inches,my arms aint shit next to arnolds and mine measured almost 19 inches the other day after i worked out and mine look small next to his

[HUGEPECS]

SHIT, ARNIE'S ARMS WERE NOT UNDER 20 INCH. YA'LL DO SOME RESEARCH

[body88]

Well if you did some research you would see Arther Jones taped his arm at supposedly under 20 inches hence the reason this thread was started. To call bullshit on that claim



You knew that already tho

Amazing the life of threads on this; the magazine hype really sets in after a while.

A 20.5" cold arm that is cut is huge on anyone around 6' or under.
