again phils arms dont look as impressive in some angles, mainly arms up poses like the fdb and rdb. but compare a mm picture with both men, or a side tri and its a way different story. just look at them standing relaxed and see how much thicker phils arms look especialy from the back due to his huge bowing tris. darrem has really big peaked biceps, thats it. his forearms and tris are small and lightly boned, sure his tris are ripped but still look small next to bb who actualy have all around big arms.
Yes, Phil's arms do not look as impressive in the front double as they do in other poses...you know why? Because they aren't enormously huge arms like Ronnie, Markus, Wheeler, Dillett, Levrone...but Phil has extremely deep separation in the muscle and great muscle bellies. He is the David Copperfield of bodybuilding...a master of illusion. In the 2006 Colorado pro show, Phil was blowing Darrem off the stage. Yet if you put a tape to each of their arms, Darrem's would be larger. The fact that Phil has a rather narrow torso only really accentuates his arms as well.
