Bodybuilding isn't about arm and waist measurements. That's for tailors.

I measured Arnold's arm at 21 1/2 inches in October 68 at the original Golds Gym. He was weighing about 255 at the time. He is 6' 1 1/2". Measured him in Honolulu in Jan 69.

What did you measure his penis length? You old queen you.

That guy is a clown and he has no credibility with me. He's uses the classic method of operation of taking credit for the athletes he "trains." Another guru who gains some fame then a few athletes thinks he has secret knowledge and flocks to him. 

What really sealed the deal is the numerous times I catch him putting out garbage. He actually wrote it's technically an error for an Olympic lifter to rise up on their toes when pulling a weight in the snatch and clean.  He obviously had no experience. An Olympic lifter explodes with speed upward and rise upward almost like a jump. To say he should be flat footed shows his lack of experience but not the lack of knowing when to keep his mouth shut.

i would believe the following measurements for Arnold in his prime

Chest 51
Arms 19
Waist 35
Legs 25-26
Calves 17
 still damn good but not what has been claimed.

LOL okay...

Old thread but Polquin also said how he had some Bob Sleders who had bigger calfs than Dorian. Yeh at what BF percentage? One rule for one measurement, one for another.

"Anyhow, the Olympian who keeps bragging about his arms having been over 22 inches (in fact, I think that he may have won an Olympia, or maybe two, or seven) is, in fact, pissing mighty rivers down your leg and insisting that the mother of all rain storms is upon you. At 6'1" tall, this Olympian would have had to weigh about 308 pounds for his arms to be even close to 22 inches around. However, his competition weight was roughly 235 pounds. Of course, maybe his bodyfat was minus 15%..."

Who does this clown think he is to question Arnold's integrity?
