This thread is hilarious...
If Arnold's arms were 22'' they wou have been taller than his head.
The fact that posters on this board can't even understand that bodyweight increases with the square of limb girth, is a damning indictment of the American public school system.

LUKE FROM WHERE DID U GET THE IDEA TO CORELATE ARM SIZE TO HEAD SIZE , AND IS IT LOGICALLY CORRECT ? HEAD SIZE VARIES, SERGIO HAD SMALL HEAD SIZE WHEN COMPARED TO ARNIE , ARTHUR JONES MANIPULATED THIS FACT, AND SO DID CHARLES POLIQUIN .....JUST TO DISCREDIT ARNIE .....

NAUTILUS BULLETIN #1 / By Arthur Jones / CHAPTER 35
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF MEASUREMENTS
here arthur jones , states ...
'' ...the largest muscular upper arm that I ever measured....was the left arm of Bill Pearl; which was 18-5/8 inches measured "cold" ..
The size of the average man?s head is between 22 and 23 inches, and I have yet to see a man with muscular arms that even began to approach the size of his head .
..a 16 inch muscular arm is very impressive -- a 17 inch upper arm is so large
an 18 inch upper must be seen to be appreciated -- and a 19 inch upper arm approaches the impossible insofar as size is concerned ..'' .

NAUTILUS BULLETIN #2
Chapter 36 / THE ULTIMATE PHYSIQUE
'' The largest muscular arm that I ever measured -- or saw -- was Sergio Oliva?s, which, accurately measured, "cold" was 20 1/8 inches. Arnold Schwarzenegger?s arm was 19 7/8, slightly pumped -- probably 19 1/2 "cold"..
..an actually muscular arm that measures a full 18 inches is enormous -- a 19 inch arm is simply huge -- and a 20 inch arm almost defies belief;
Arnold Schwarzenegger?s arms are almost as large as Sergio?s, and he shows no signs of restricted movement around the elbow joint.

does arthur jones contradict himself ?And what can arthur jones , mean by saying , arnie's arms are as large as sergio's arms ... does jones means in appearence or photos both arnie's and sergio's arms appear to be same in size ?
FURTHER JONES STATES , ''in a recent full-length picture of Sergio, the width of the flexed upper arms exceeded the height of Sergio?s head -- his arms were literally larger than his head, a size ratio never before approached by anybody else.
------------------------- ----------
thus, i suspect .., arthur jones what arthur jones .....meant, was that - sergio's arms looked even , bigger in photos since they (arms ) looked bigger than sergio's head ...

BDJ: I believe you may be the only person to officially develop a muscular arm with a height (from the top of the biceps to the bottom of the triceps) greater than the height of one’s head. Did this phenomenon occur while training with Jones?
SO: This occurred with Jones, around the time of the 1972 Mr. Olympia in Essen, Germany. You see, Jones tricked everybody. He would invite them down and pay for the trip to test his machines. Everyone went down… Columbu, Arnold, Zane… everybody. And as soon as you arrived he would start measuring your arms cold, then he would tell you how much you can increase in a couple of days, and nobody would believe it. All those Weider magazines claiming 21-22″ arms would have everyone coming down to 18-19″… and the only 20.5″ cold was my arm. After going through his workouts, my arm was almost an inch bigger, and that happened for everybody. Arnold’s arm was 19.75″, and Weider had him in the magazines with 22.5″. It was ridiculous — all their measurements came down when Jones measured them. It was during that time that Jones measured my arms and my head, and I couldn’t believe that my arms were bigger than my head… I didn’t pay attention up to that point.

The Truth About Bodybuilding Arm Measurements
by Charles Poliquin
Anyhow, the Olympian who keeps bragging about his arms having been over 22 inches (in fact, I think that he may have won an Olympia, or maybe two, or seven) is, in fact, pissing mighty rivers down your leg and insisting that the mother of all rain storms is upon you.
At 6'1" tall, this Olympian would have had to weigh about 308 pounds for his arms to be even close to 22 inches around. However, his competition weight was roughly 235 pounds. Of course, maybe his bodyfat was minus 15%...

SEE WHAT ATHUR JONES ACTUALLY MEANT AND WHAT SERGIO HIMSELF AND POLIQUIN SAY ??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEN HE (CHARLES POLIQUIN )SAYS'' (ARNIE ) WOULD HAVE TO WEIGH 308 POUNDS FOR ARNIE'S ARMS TO BE CLOSE TO 22 INCHES ?''
IS CHARLES POLIQUIN REFERRING THIS CHART DEVELOPED BY David Willoughby. ,
http://www.mm2k.com/bodybuilding-chart.htmlBUT THE CHART OBVIOUSLY IS BASED ON RESEARCH DONE BY WILLOUGHBY DURING THE PRE -STEROID ERA ! HOW CAN POLIQUIN ''USE '' A PRE STEROID RESEARCH CHART TO DISCREDIT AND DIS PROVE ARNIE'S 22 INCH ARM SIZE , WHEN ARNIE BELONGS TO ''POST - STERIOD ERA '' ?

CHECK OUT SERGIO'S HEAD SIZE WHEN COMPARED TO ARNIE'S HEAD SIZE.....!!!
