Wow!
56cm... which would be 54cm with a tight tape and a proper perpendicular measurement... but that's just nit-picking.
54cm = 21.2598 inches
55cm = 21.6535 inches
56cm = 22.0472 inches
...so assuming he's training arms and has a bit of a pump; let's give him the benefit of the doubt and allow him a legitimate 21.5'' cold arm.
Using the basic formula I posted:
((21.5'')
2/(15)
2)x150lbs = 308 lbs
...allowing for Phil being an inch or so shorter than average he should weigh 290-295 lbs in those pics.
Which would be 280-290 lbs allowing for his small frame (clavicle-wise; there is a cube relation between chest measurement and bodyweight)... which is probably exactly what he weighs in those pics.
Seems like all the guys claiming "Ronnie had 24'' arms"; "Levrone had 24'' arms"; "Arnie had 22'' arms" and criticising the basic math I used to calculate the guideline ratios in that other thread... well, it seems they all owe me an apology.
So, how about it? Anyone man enough to admit they were wrong?
