I'm amazed people still argue who had best arms in history

[gracie bjj]

thats a great shot

[Parker]

beckles bis where short n very peaked and arnolds where long and full with a pretty good peak also, bad comparison bro

uh no...Sergio's were long and full, inserting closer to the elbow, which is why he didnt have that much of a peak.
Arnold's insertion was higher, thus giving the peak. He talked about this in his Encylopedia of Bodybuilding.
Just like Ronnie Coleman..
Other examples of bicep insertions closer to the ELBOW are Levrone, and Phil Heath and Flex Wheeler to an extent. The bicep is lengthened, thus giving less of a peak, but it seems maybe more "volume".

i know that read what I wrote...
Arnold himself said that his biceps had shorter inserts (higher up the arm), it is Sergio who had the biceps closer to the elbow...

That one pose where Arnold has both arms outstretched---Arnold knew how to pose, and the arms are angled out, and not fully contracted (like the Beckles pic). If you hold your arms outstretched with a slight tension, you focus on the fullness of the bicep..try it in the mirror...you are not emphazing the peak as when you do a full contraction.

Anymore questions?

BEST shape/size HAS to go to Larry Scott
(Yeah, you can go UGLY-ASS like Ronny's 25 inch- now RAPIDLY shrinking- mountains, but they AIN'T pretty!!)

[NarcissisticDeity]

Lee has it all and in proportion too

[Parker]

Lee has it all and in proportion too

Sadly, that is all Lee ever was. Notice his severe lack of chest in that Victory pose.

i agree,arnold was a very good poser n knew how to angle them to make them look bigger n fuller

[NarcissisticDeity]

Still amazed?

[Master Blaster]

Is that tbomz?

[markofan]

I think Moyzan and Marko tie for No. 1

[Tony Doherty]

This shot is not shopped, it was taken in a mirror that distorted the dimensions.

[Rudee]

Aaron Baker was no slouch in the arm dept.

[Parker]

Aaron Baker was no slouch in the arm dept.

the BFTO where he was training arms with Robby shows just how good they were.

[deadpan]
