Dude I don't care what measurement Arnold had what does that have to me
I know how to measure arms if u see my old vid posted of me measuring my arms u will see that and yes they are 19.6 cold 20 pumped I'm not the only one here with big arms groink ursus and so forth I have no need to lie.
Didn't that vid you posted (never seen it) show your arms to be 18.6'' pumped...?
A 20'' arm is 16% bigger than an 18.6'' arm (ratio of the squares)... did you gain 30+ lbs of pure muscle to go along with that arm increase?
What Ahnuld's arms have to do with this debate is a matter of perspective... Arnold claimed he had 22'' arms at contest time weighing 235 lbs. In reality, he actually barely stretched the tape to 20'' in the off-season at 250 lbs... and Arnold was all upper body, with arms that weren't equalled till the 90s.
In reality... where the rest of us live, mesomorph78... no one under 200 lbs has a 20'' arm; no one under 240 lbs has a 21'' arm (except maybe Lee Priest); no one under 280 lbs has a 22'' arm... on top of this NO ONE can pump their arm up a full half inch; an eighth of an inch to maybe a quarter of an inch is realistic, and your arms pump up less as you get bigger (not more).
I doubt you can pump up your arms more than half an inch... you'd need 12'' arms to see that type of circumference change. Over 18'' a pump adds maybe a quarter inch.
I doubt you have even 19'' arms... you'd need to be 240ish lbs to have that kind of measurement.
I doubt you have 20'' arms... because you don't weigh 250+ lbs.
I doubt Ronnie Coleman ever had 24'' arms... because a 6' tall silverback mountain gorilla (not a racist barb) can't match that measurement till his bodyweight exceeds FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS.
I'm happy here in reality... you're happy with your self-delusion... everybody's happy.
