Sergio was used as a model for the character of "Bisuketto Oriba" in the manga "Grappler Baki".

When I measured Manfred's arm he weighed 330 lbs. Priest weighed 230.
It would be helpful to know Ronnie's arm size at his various bodyweights.
Nothing can be proved without measuring.
Right before I measured Manfred I was speaking to a very, very famous bodybuilder who scoffed at the notion (and rumor) that Manfred's arm was 25"- saying they looked no bigger than 22"- and this was a man with decades of experience at the highest international experience. I was stunned that he would say what he said, but perceptions after all, prove nothing.

sorry for my english.
it was such a lot about Lee Priest here...

 may be Priest have the best arms in the history...
and may be he have a freakiest guns in the history...BUT only for proportion to his height.and sure not absolute.
look at this picture - Kevin and Lee at their biggest.

Johns was good but not the biggest in the 70s, and neither is close to the biggest anymore.

This shot in the 70s and 80s was the last word in massiveness; didn't seem possible to go bigger than this. Now looks a little slim in comparison.

Ronnie in terms of measurement.

Can't debate this.

Joe,

Knowing what you know, in your OPINION are Jones's claims that Sergio's arms were around 21" pumped in 1972 legit. I have always thought Sergio was possibly the most gifted man in the world when it comes to overall arm size bi, Teri and forearm relative to his body weight.

Jones' claim on Oliva's arm was likely accurate - around 20.5" cold, which comes out to over 21" pumped. HOWEVER his claim on Schwarzenegger's arm was either deliberately innaccurate or the timing of the measurement was misleading. From any number of pics from that era including these it's obvious their arms were about the same absolute size.

Arnold clearly has much better arms than sergio. shape, peak, size, and most of all definition, all better on arnold.

Personally i agree but objectively and in terms of judging it's closer because Oliva had better tris AND forearms, and more muscle volume since they had about the same measurement despite a 3" height differential.

Also, there are shots of Oliva with better definition than shown in the '72 show.

Lou


Kovacs (ugly, but big)


Big Mike needs to be mentioned...


DJ has thick arms.....his contest photos aren't as impressive


Jeep Swenson......over 400 pounds in this pick (just for perspective)


Kaz...just because he's like 50 in this pick and still dwarfing the other humans.  I think his arms measured around 23

Its funny you say that JP I was going to say the exact opposite. Arnold had more peak and thats about all. Sergio had better Tri's and MUCH better forearms. Sergio is 72 was shreaded

There you have it; pros and cons w/ nothing conclusive. And as i said, he's been more cut than in the '72 show.

I apologize in advance to Sergio fans, and I'm not the biggest Arnold fan, but Sergio is inferior in the comparison in that pic. Arnold looks bigger, better, more complete.
