Franco's REal Arms Measurement!!!

[Figo]

THE REAL QUESTION IS:
Who would win a fight between Arnold and Franco?
Remember, that Franco was one of the strongest P4P, and he was also a boxer, as we saw in pumping iron.
So, could the little man beat the shit outta the Oak??
(and BTW, what about Rocky Balboa?)

That must've been 1 conversation where subtitles were essential to understand wtf was going on...

Franco was never anything other than riding the coat tails of Arnold..if it hadnt been for Arnold he would have not ven have won M ;Dr Venice Beach...

I beleive Arnold had 21"  plus arms when he was filming movies like predator.

Wishful thinking and absurd. He was around 205-210 lb. tops for movies, deliberately slimming down due to the well known belief that movies add 10 more lb. and already being far bigger than anyone else on screen. The idea was to be muscular and athletic. His arms were around 20.5 cold only when 230-250 lb.

I contest shape,just after 76 or 81 O win, Jones measured Franco at 16.5in.

Arnold never had 22in, nor 21in, nor 20in arms, on stage, Arnold's arms were 19in.

Jones had some incentive to fudge the measurements of the Weider boys due to ongoing acrimony with Weider, and both of those are too small. Arnold's arms were always around the same size as Oliva, 20.5 cold close to 22 pumped when in the 230-250 lb. range. Franco around 18-he didn't lose 1.5 inches for a contest.

Arnold weighed 220 pounds for Conan The Barbarian in 1982 and went as low as 212 pounds for ONE scene. He beefed up to 240 pounds for Terminator (1984). By 1988 he was down to 230 pounds and by 1991 he was down to 215-220 pounds for T2. For all other movies after that he was down to 210 pounds.

Total bullshit. He had no need, incentive or reason to go above the low 200s once embarked in movies, which is why he was so light at the 80 Olympia. 230-240 (his top Olympia weight!) on screen not only doesn't make sense it would've been total overkill, as he was at 210 already far bigger than anyone else on cam, and the idea was a lean and athletic look for action movies.

Ill be sure to quote you on that mr. ``muscular bulk``..

From this thread, I want you guys to learn that arm measurement is not that important.
The important thing about arm is the shape and quality which create the illusion of muscularity of arm.

That's the stock reponse that's been recycle for decades. Cute but in reality, the measurement does matter as well as what it looks like, it's not either/or.

Yep. You should know.

i love those pics, this dumbass doesn't get that lol absolutely mindless posting em.

Not a big fan of columbu due to underserved hype and "wins" accompanied by a lack of humility, but i have to say his density and dryness were unusual; only a few guys then or since have had that.
