guy was a freak probably some of the most amazing overall arms at the time and even now. unfortunately he suffered a nerve injury causing his one arm to shrink noticiably derailing his contest aspirations.

damn! them arms are a LEGIT 19 inches (but i bet that he claimed that they were 22 inchers) and he's got a LEGIT 31-32 inch waist (guys nowdays have legit 19 or even 20 inch arms, but their waists are at least 40 inches :D :D :D)

IMPRESSIVE

how tall was he and what did he weigh?

If you accept that Lou was 6" 5` then gunnar was about 4 inch shorter,he competed in the heavyweight class,won the european champs in 81 and placed 2nd to Lance Dreher in the worlds,then a year later 2nd to Lee Haney.

I'm under 5'10 and my arms look skinny when they are 19''.  I don't know why people can't fathom huge bodybuilders having 22'' arms

here's Pouliquin's arm measurements of 4 pros 10 days after thier contest ie. they were fully "filled out"

Bodybuilder A
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 286 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 20.62"

Bodybuilder B
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 228 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 20.25"

Bodybuilder C
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 214 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 19.62"

Bodybuilder D
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 258 pounds
Cold arm measurement: 18.9"

the biggest arm is a bit over 20 and a half inches

probably successful bodybuilders with small bone structures.   I have thick bones, so my muscles look a lot smaller than they measured ..     even when my arms were 20and 7/8's they looked like shit.

lee priest was a trur freak of nature even joe roark of ironhistory.com has to admit that lee's measurements defy description considering height and weight. hazbin a lot of guys on here grew up with articles debunking guys with large measurements. sergio arm was claimed to be a mere 20 and 3/8 or so arnold 19 7/8, mentzer 18 3/4. hard to believe .

than you had other writers writing from the other side. saying 25 inch arms would soon be common.

but a well developed, defined arm will be impressive no matter the difference of a few inches.

it looks much bigger coz he's got tiny joints and a pea head

Mentzer's ON STAGE arm was 18.5 inches

Zane's was maybe.... maybe... 17 inches

that's a big, big arm dude

and not to be a jerk, coz i like you and you are a good guy

but, that arm isn't stage ready (but yes, it is big and impressive)

big ach had well over 18 inch arms as a fatty, but when he got down to contest level leaness his arm was barely 16 inches

offseason if one eats till smooth trying to gain an ounce 'natural ahem as big ach was not smart,1st the diet must burn the fat/smoothness,then lowering carbs each wk and as one gets leaner shows wkly improvement,then u hit that cruising time 4 wks out look where u almost look stage worhty and thats the best loo then u dry out last few lbs of water last wk and u either are shredded and carb full and nice,are shredded and small but still respectable which works but if someone is as ripped and bigger in your weight class your fukked,and then it all goes wrong your lean but smooth out due to some miscalculation or nerves ..hazbin has stated this one many times,he could have been pro but mistimed the last few days he'll tell ya...

its allillussion,mentner 18.5 thick joints /thick natural forearms/had ability to train heavy/hard/5'8ish/.....zane thin joints /trained lighter side /17 inch on small torso/5'9 posed his size tohis advantage and one more ripped than mentzner ever could,with zane and illussion when he was in yrs 69/75 he was bigger 'looking'but looked better 77/79 due to ripped condition'dry to thebone.its all relative too much to argue could go on and on and on.......

that's true about zane and that's why i firmly believe that my ideal ripped bodyweight is about 165-170

zane @ 187 SMOKED zane @ 205 even at the same level of conditioning

his frame just wasn't meant to hold over 2 bills ripped
