Funny how Franco doesn't completely wrap the tape around his arm to give the illusion that they're 19''.  :D

You guys aint picking up on the sarcasm.

His arms were 17.5, on their best day, 18.

I still think Franco's were 21 inches. This is just a grand conspiracy to make Arnold look better.

Show us where HE said they were that big.  Not a magazine article or any like that.  Weider is famous for inflating numbers.  Show the actual quote by Franco or video where he says they are 19+".

Franco was a buff little fella but I'll be a monkey's uncle if he had 19" arms.

He was short so a ripped 18" would look how 22" would look on someone my height.

Looks like pretty conclusive proof to me that Franco's arms were a tad over 18 inches. But bear in mind that he was only 5'5" or so with those sort of measurements.

If you were 5'10" (or any other average sort of height) you would probably need your arms to be between 19.5 to 20 inches to look comparable to Franco's. Any you would also need to be pretty low in bodyfat as well.

So all things considered, Franco's arms at 18in+ probably isn't too bad.

I used to see Franco almost everytime I was in the gym at least most of the time.  he was just getting into learning to give massages.  He would give you a massage if you wanted one right there between sets.  It was great.  The one memory I have most about him was when he was doing bent over rows one day with 405.  He stood on a block of wood without a shirt in shorts.  When he bent over his lats would just blow up and they started at his waist of his shorts.  He was just unreal wide.  I remember standing next to him doing curls one day and thinking to myself how big I was compared to him.  But when I looked at him not in the mirror I thought he was huge.  I was only about 247 or so.
