A TRUE MEASURED 19 INCH ARM

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Why do people insist on posting obviously shopped pictures?  So stupid.

You take this "men in thongs" pageant seriously don't ya? Every fucking on the shelves use chopped pics. You must have also got rid of you TV since they went to HD and everyone on TV is using special HD makeup and white lightning to hide fine lines.

Vince Taylor's arms were larger than 19.

Brandon Curry 18.5

Curry is 5'6. Vince was 5'8-5'9. I'd guess Vince had solid 20s on stage. He has small joints.

I'm not doubting that measurement, but this pic is looking funky too!

pretty tough to tell by pics.  here are two arms measuring the same.

Mentzer claimed 18-5/8 was his largest. Some years ago at the Arnold Classic I measured Vince's pumped arm at 19.75".

If I ever find it, I have a pic comparing arms with Vince. Mine were a little over 17" cold at the time.

good point, that's why you have to take into consideration bodyfat levels

a 18 inch arm @ 5% is much much more impressive than an 18 incher @ 10%

plus wrist size and insertions.   if phil heath had the shoulder width of an average untrained man his arms wouldn't appear as big.

My training partner has crazy arms for his weight. Here they are over 20" @ a bit under 220. Competes at about 195, loses a bit but almost "20. Not a single needle of any type of oil has gone into them. Funny thing is that I measured them at "21 like 17 years ago! But then he was fat and now he has the same sized arms ripped.

there is no real definition of grainy, but if someone is confused you can just show him a pic of this guy.

Nice compliment. He's 10 weeks out from the IFBB worlds here. 7 weeks to go now, hopefully real grainy by the end.

he's got the young Markus look.  how does he look straight on? thick from the side.

[ergo]

19+ no oil... Mentor style training 52 years old...

[Parker]

Mentzer always had that "I am not a fun guy, and I rather be banging my head against a concrete wall" look to him. No real smile. Like he is lost in his own world of misery.

I'm in the second camp, even when I'm a lean 18.5 my terrible arm insertions make my arms look like crap especially my old white guy tris

Absolutely.

ya, it sux.   i'm less than 5'10, but my reach is 6'4.  super long arms, and my bicep itself is so long It wouldn't even peak when they were almost 21''.  I would have been the perfect candidate for a site enhanced bicep peak. my arm woulda looked better and an inch bigger.

[funk51]

two shorter guys with large arms scott listed 20 1/2 oritz 19 1/2 .... what they actually measured who knows [rhetorical question.]

funk you're too good to use photoshops

Vince Taylor...19 inch arm in his prime. I remember reading a muscle mag(no homo) with him on the cover and the article saying 19 inch arms and how to get them. This was early 90's before the seriously mentally ill oil bags took over...

One of the best bodybuilding physiques of all time. No homo.

Sergio's biceps didn't really peak, nor Kevin Levrone's, due to their biceps inserting closer to the elbow. So, I'd say that you are in good company

You complaining to me is like warren buffet grumbling that he only made ten billion dollars this year, lol. Your arms had that super thick look from what I remember but you didn't have that ballon shape that the black dudes get.

My (white) bro put an inch of oil into his when he did the USA a few years back but he still got marked down for small arms.

wow, thanx man!  

edit,   I always thought that my arms were a weak point, despite measuring fairly large
