Phil's arm measurement question, redux

[Parker]

I asked a few months back how big will Phil's get...this was assuming that he was just another competitor...
Now that he's Mr. O, he of course has to step up the freak factor...he is under no obligation to compete other than Mr. O. So, that gives him a yr to pack on the weight...if this is so, how big will the arms get, 24s? Are we looking at potential contest ready 24s in the near future?

Short fellas like that will never ever have legit 24 inch arms. And if they do, it will look ridiculous because their frame is too tiny.

This pic, which was a X weeks out pic from some contest should be a gauge for what is to be expected

Brandon Curry had his arms measured legit in a YT vid @ 19"


These guys don't have arms as big as you would think. The more conditioned, the bigger they look.

Yeah, I believe it about Brandon...Phil's arms are not as big as they look, as I think he said himself...they were hardly 20s-when he first came on the scene, it's the hands on palm MM which showcases his huge tris that make him look bigger.

Lol at anyone thinking Phil will get anywhere near 23's, its all illusion.

He has an absolutely tiny frame, good arm genetics, megadose slin/gear and seo and he still isnt over 21.

The more i see of Phil the more i think the genetics in bodybuilding at the moment are pure shit and always have been for the most part.

Ferrigno in summer 93 at 6'5" over 320 pounds (off season) arms were 23 inches... Wheeler at 5'10" tall, and arms at around 20.5 or 21 inches looked bigger than Louies arm....
Phil is shorter than Wheeler.....

Things you should take in to consideration.

I saw flex at supplement store in Pembroke Pines FL afew months before the 99 Olympia he said he was weighing 282 at the time. This was after he had done the synthol injections that he admitted to doing! his arms were stupid big mine were just over 18 pumped, he had to of had 22's at that weight!

[yates fan]

being that he weighed over 280# and had great arm genetics,wouldnt ronnie already have the best arms of any olympia competitor ever,and if any of these other meas. are true ronnie had to have at least 23 inch arms on stage.

Nice red x!

Phil said his arms this year were 22, same as his number at the O and same as his basketball jersey number.
