Bullshit!

Arthur Jones measured Arnolds arms at 19 5/8 cold. You can add in another 1.5 inches pumped which would bring his arms to over 21.

Franco had a 50 inch chest-and Armold makes Franco look like a 5th graders. More like 60 inches for Arnold's chest.

I also think the bench press is way too low.

I made a thread last time that Ronnie Coleman had 21.7 inch arms, nobody believed me even though countless others saw it on video (videos were removed)

From which source?

[The Squadfather]

From which source?

from looking at him.

[MoralMan]

Im surprised by the squats, i thought he would ve been doing a good 5 plates a side.

[JohnnyVegas]

BOOM! at .49

[The Squadfather]

it makes me laugh how people get so upset when you say he had a 405 pound bench press as if that's somehow a terrible number, i'll gaurantee you that 98 percent of this board can't do that, me included.

[The Squadfather]

BOOM! at .49

and what does that prove? we're supposed to believe it just because he says it?

[JohnnyVegas]

With 26 inch legs??? Are you serious???

I would think 405 would be hard for those pencil legs.  

I did 400# competition style bench (no bounce, 2 second pause) at 200#, most I ever did. Franco did 525# touch and go.

and what does that prove? we're supposed to believe it just because he says it?

Arnold would not lie about meaurements or lifts, unheard of in Pro BBing.

[theworm]

at his "training seminar" in Columbus after the classic,, he did say his max was 405.   But he never trained for max.  remember he used to lift for over 3 hours...

no way...arnold benched way more than 500lbs. he was probably doin 650lbs in his prime.

[SirTraps]

Im pretty sure he could bench more than 405, also squat more than 405 for 2 reps

There you go again belittleing poeples accomplishments just so yours can feel a little greater. 26 in thighs at 6.2 would make his legs look like sticks; small legs yes, but atleast 28-29, 315 for 8 for Arnold is the biggest player hater comment I've ever heard in my life. 405 on the Bench is nothing nowadays get through your pathetic skull 405=nothing 600=impressive, thousands can do 400 I think there is a few females that can do this. If you get impressed very easily then its up to you to live with the curse but always calling people bullshit just makes you look bad

Arnolds legs were SMALL...... cuts yes, size no.

all accurate,except arnold was never 6'1".i meet him twice and he is my height (5'10").

bench, the only way you're 5'10 is if you're wearing 6 inch elevator shoes

Surprised, when thighs were always proportionately smaller than the rest..

What year??

[pumpster]

Uh, no. Sorry to ruin the fantasy. Arnold had solid numbers.

2004

[pumpster]

Garbage. Stood beside him, he's 6'1".

26" seams really small for legs, rest looks about right.

The might've been a little bigger but mainly he deflected the size issue by good cuts, posing and great calves.

[theworm]

pretty sure 2004.  i went from 03-05, but pretty sure it was the middle year.

[tu_holmes]

Agreed... My dad is 6'0 even and he stood next to Arnold, and he was (my dad) what appeared to be exactly 1 inch shorter than Schwarzenegger..
