Norwegian, turned pro early 80's, good arms, lots of coverage due to marketable looks, never really did much as a pro. But always finished up there, top 6-10.Otherwise, dont know much, maybe one of the experts/old-timers can assist...
Slowdown bozo, he never turned pro, he was 81 and 82 IFBB Amateur World Championships second place finisher.He could turn pro in 1982 but his rival was Lee Haney It's like hitting a brick wall!I recently made an interview with 1979 NABBA Mr. Universe and 1982 IFBB Light-Heavyweight Amateur World Champion Ahmet Enunlu, he said, Rosbo had such fantastic forearms that you would stare them for hours without ever getting bored...But great back is more important than great set of arms for a good bodybuilding career
Ahmet Enunlu, he said, Rosbo had such fantastic forearms that you would stare them for hours without ever getting bored...
i'm sure enunlu was as straight a gentleman as one could hope to meet.
The drinking and smoking sure, and doesn't necessarily mean he was alcoholic, just in his zone.But 16in forearms before starting to train?20in forearms later?Dont think so.
doesnt matter if you think so or not. he was an alcoholic who had mental problems (not retardation), and yes his forearms where bigger (42cm...same as his dad) before he started working out than your arms are and yes, drinking does not mean you are an alcoholic. but rosbo was an alcoholic.
The last contests he was in, he had a HUGE difference between right and left side. I think due to injury. One of the biggest r-l asymmetries i've ever seen. He disappeared after that...I remember he smoked too, but the main thing was his r-l symmetry was incredibly off.
I am really sorry because I really don't do this but there is no way his forearms are 20" or even 19" or maybe 18". Sorry. Are his forearms bigger than his upper arms. Have you seen an 18" forearm. They are bigger than his. Bill Kaz doesn't have 18" forearms. I used to inflate my forearm measurement 18" to be bigger and mine at the biggest were 17". Unless his bicep is somewhere around 23" then I highly doubt he has 20" forearms. If they were there has to be pics of him measuring his forearms somewhere.
Dude, are you a midget, those are some freaky forearms...seriously, how tall are you?
