r ronnie colemans arms 24inches?

[pumpster]

I think it was Muscular Development that had a picture of Dillet's arm being taped at 26". Could have been a bogus tape though.It was in his column,The Word. Seems a little rediculous,26".Dillets definately are the biggest though.Sick tris, no one really talks about them either. Everyone saying Arnolds are 20" need to wake up.My are 18" and Arnolds are sure as hell more than 2" bigger.I'd say 22".

Coleman's were even bigger than Dillet, as seen here. Pause around the 7 second mark:

arthur jones measured arnold's arm, so you would have to bring that up with him.

I don't believe Jones' measurement of Arnold's arm; lots of acrimony with Weider at the time and also Arnold may not have been in shape then. It's clear from the shots that Arnold and Oliva had about the same size, about 20.5" cold, close to 22" pumped, in shape and a little bigger off-season with more weight.

To put all this into perspective:

Assuming a perfectly circular upper arm:
16'' arm has a cross sectional area of (16²/12.566) =20.37243355 inches²
17'' arm has a cross sectional area of 22.998 inches²
18'' arm has a cross sectional area of 25.783 inches²
19'' arm has a cross sectional area of 28.728 inches²
20'' arm has a cross sectional area of 31.831 inches²
21'' arm has a cross sectional area of 35.094 inches²
22'' arm has a cross sectional area of 38.516 inches²
23'' arm has a cross sectional area of 42.097 inches²
24'' arm has a cross sectional area of 45.837 inches²
25'' arm has a cross sectional area of 49.737 inches²
26'' arm has a cross sectional area of 53.795 inches²

Does anyone notice the trend here??
The amount of muscle needed to increase the cross sectional area increases exponentially...
16'' to 17'' means gaining 2.626 inches²
17'' to 18'' means gaining 2.785 inches²
18'' to 19'' means gaining 2.944 inches²
19'' to 20'' means gaining 3.103 inches²
20'' to 21'' means gaining 3.262 inches²
21'' to 22'' means gaining 3.421 inches²
22'' to 23'' means gaining 3.581 inches²
23'' to 24'' means gaining 3.740 inches²
24'' to 25'' means gaining 3.899 inches²
25'' to 26'' means gaining 4.058 inches²

...there is a HUGE difference between a 17'' arm and an 18'' arm, the difference between a 20'' arm and a 21'' arm is ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS.

By extrapolation, if you had to gain 15 lbs of bodyweight to go from a 16'' arm to a 17'' arm, then you'd still have to gain another 176 lbs of solid muscle to get 26'' arms.

Get real people... Ronnie's arms are probably around 22'' in contest shape... maybe 23'' at 320 lbs offseason.

Whereas Arnold was about 50 lbs of muscle away from having 22'' arms. Contest day... Arnold's arms were probably about 19'' maybe 19.5'' at most.

The Luke

All that and you're still too low. Oliva and Arnold's arms were around 20.5" cold, in shape. And Coleman's arms are clearly bigger maybe 22-23" cold in shape, then add another inch at least for a pumped measurement.

[pumpster]

no way man arnold's arms were 22.

You're easily confused. Arnold & Sergio both had arms around 22", pumped.

[pumpster]

Valentino's arms are much cooler than Manfred Hoerbel's ever were, but Manfred was a pretty good strongman so you've got to give hims points for that.

Cooler?

[delta9mda]

not even close to 23 or 24 inches

[delta9mda]

i took the pic at the nationals and i have more

[pumpster]

not even close to 23 or 24 inches

When those were taken maybe. What a worthless post.

Were you as annoying there in person as you are here or did you actually have something positive to share?

Yates' 16s. Using your logic we should assume this was his peak condition LOL

[delta9mda]

ronnie said bowflex is worthless

Ronnie's seperation and veins make his arms look bigger. His bis are still great but his tris just aren't too big anymore.

[Hulkster]

2006 Ronnie may not have 24 inch arms.

but look at Ronnie 2004 : I wouldn't be surprised if they were as big as Dilletts:

By the way, what statue is that in his hand? It's not the Sandow.

You guys should get our ass to the gym, and look these guys in real life. You can't measure them by the pictures or youtube clips, you have to see them yourself. I have seen bunch of old pro's in action while they were training for finnish grand prix, and they were big. I mean BIG. You can't see it from the picture, but every one of these pro's are so fucking big, that you cannot understand it before you see it in your own eyes.

What a little fucking bitch you are. You basically just described yourself to the T

The hypocrisy from you is absurd.

F*ggot

That is one of the most insane pics I have ever seen. Ronnie's shoulders are almost twice the size of his head.

Someone who gets how much bigger they are in person. Pics and videos are good for comparing relative size or condition only.

[pumpster]

whoooooosssssshhhhhhhhhh

To summaryize Delta's trolling:

-He can't stand that Coleman's arms are 5" bigger than Yates'

-Clearly wants a bowflex LOL

people forget how massive Ronnie was in 2004..

it was certainly not his best shape, but was his largest and most full.
