at the 2003 Olympia (at a supposed bodyweight of 287 pounds) many believe that his arms may have been 24'' in contest shape.. Crazy.

Claims are claims until they are substantiated.

I'm sure coleman would let his arms get taped if someone puts it to him.

I'd say Ronnie's arms are somewhere around the 21'' mark, 22'' might be a possibility... but these figures of 24 and 25 inches are just ridiculous.

Greg Valentino's arms stretch the tape to 24.5 inches (he had them taped on Ripley's Believe It Or Not), Manfred Hoeberl at 6'5'' and 300 lbs had 25'' arms, and they looked horrifically disproportionate.

If Ronnie's arms were really 23 plus inches then the height of his arm from the peak of his flexed biceps to the belly of his tricep would be supstantially taller than his head. It's not! Ronnie's only 5'10''/5'11'', a 24'' arm would be about 10 or 11 inches tall... couldn't that be measured relative to Ronnie's height in a photo??

I'd go so far as to say Ronnie's arms might well be somewhere between 20.75 and 21.5 inches in competition shape. Any bigger than that and his arms would be sherical because the distance from Ronnie's deltoid tie-in to his forearm is only about 12 inches (if that).

Don't believe the hype!!

The owner of MetroFlex said that when Ronnie first came to the gym he measured Ronnie's guns, and they were 21's. Now Ronnie's arms have definitely gotten bigger, so make the conclusion on that...

Meh, lets make a conclusion based on fact, not heresay.

At the picture of the bodyrock show his arms looked a lot smaller.

Yeah, you can trust every one of Ronnie's friends. There seems to be some sort of unwritten law that people follow to keep the myths of the pros going. Just like this Mick Jackson guy (see other thread) eating rats for contest prep with some of them even being live? Yeah, great protein source there. Or, how about the M&M diuretic stories? Just make up something possible- anything is possible- and most likely there is a pro out there that you can attach the outrageous story to.

Joe Roark has tried to tape numerous BB'ing pros, and I know he attempted Hoeboerl (sp?) as well. The only person I seem to remember Roark being able to tape is Lee Priest. There is an older thread about the actual measurement of Lee's arms. However, I think most arm claims are Bullshit.... if it's too good to be true, then most likely it's not true.

Ursus · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:27:05 AM »

mine are only 17" and they lack the fullness, roundness and sheer size of ronies. i could well believe his arms are 6-7 inches larger than mine. even look at your own arms relaxed by your side then compare them to how thick and downright enormous ronnies are.

rocket · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:29:49 AM »

Lee priest taped his own arm and posted it here

And its not that I don't believe that it could be 24 inches, just its not that hard to tape an arm and lay the matter to rest. The measurement doesnt' affect your placings, if your arms look big they are big, end of story.. as far as judging goes.

gibberj2 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:31:23 AM »

23 or 24 is about right

I concur about beleiving arms to be x amount of inches big. Of anyone that has made outrageous arm claims, I think Ronnie's would actually be true. However, when it comes to other pros I think most of it is horseshit. And it's easier said than done when it comes to taping someones arm. That's why I made the Roark reference, because the only person that stepped to the plate when he asked them to be able to measure their arm was Lee Priest. And I remember Priest having a 23" and some change arm.

rocket · « **Reply #19 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:39:32 AM »

No priest doesn't have a 23 inch arm at contest, he measured them here and i'm pretty sure it was ~21

21Guns · « **Reply #20 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:41:12 AM »

ive talked to Ronnie,I asked him how big his arms are,he told me 23 inches when hes 300lbs,a touch smaler when on stage.That came streight from ronnie him self.To see his arms in person is a sight huge thick and riped.No other pros come close.And those who say he has no triceps dont know what there talking about.His tris are huge .you have to give the guy his props he does have awsome arms.

21Guns · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2006, 05:43:12 AM »

Lee's are 21 off season,remeber hes only 5ft4.his arms will look biger at a smaller measurement.
