Pro armwrestler Alexey Voevoda. Fan of him.  Forearm size is 18.9 inches and 21" arms.  This guy isnt even a pro bodybuilder or takes all these crazy dosages of drugs. 



"21" inch arms" and you believed it? hahahahahaah

casey viator in 79 maybe were the biggest ever. i'll dig out a pic from muscle builder.
McGrath's look bigger than Viators and more impressive than Viator or Priest. Very similar in shape and even a little bigger than Oliva's.

I would also take Chuck Sipes over Viator due to better density and over Priest because of Priest's SF (stubbiness factor).

Here's Sipes & Viator in that order:

His upper arms aren't any bigger than his forearms. Maybe his forearms are 21".  ::)

At the GNC show a while back, Joe Roark measured Lee Priest's forearm at 15 3/4" clinched fist, and 17" goosed. At the time he was 235 lbs.

The great powerlifter Doug Young who was huge, only had a 16 1/2-17" forearm.

The arm wrestler has excellent arms, but no way are they close to 19".

true

he has very large bis and forearms but not near those measurements.

for one thing, his tris are not close to the development required for a true 21" arm, which is significant when you consider that tris take up 70% of the total size potential of the upper arm.

false claims has always been a mainstay of the muscle building world and, as far as his natural status? you can file that one with his bogus size claims. ;)

Exactly! I'm the same height as Dennis James and my forearms are about 14 something inches. No way that dude's forearms are over 15 inches - he looks pretty average compared to real big guys his height

Fully extended with fist clenched. Goosenecked is a bit more
