wow, thanx man!  

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

Post another pic bro, I remember them being 3d looking and solid as hell, you had big joints and huge forearms too right?

two shorter guys with large arms scott listed 20 1/2 oritz 19 1/2 .... what they actually measured who knows ??? ??? ??? [rhetorical question.]
Scott's arms are insanely round and full. Plus they are short which is what visually looks crazy. I like Hazbin, have long arms but my biceps are pretty round which gave the appearance of them being bigger than they were.

ya, my joints got big.  I trained as heavy as the pros claimed they did, and it grew my connective tissue.  then when I met several of them I found out they didn't even write their magazine training articles.  fuggers.

how was your curling strength? for example how much could you barbell curl for 8-10 reps?

was probably my worst lift.   not often I would go over a plate a side. but hammer curls I would go up to the 140's in each hand. not strict

I feel your pain with the long arms, plus you and I have almost identical bicep insertion/shape. But I'm 6'3'' and twice as lanky everywhere else.

Crazy if only 19" - makes me feel fat. Mine are 18.5" flexed at 6ft1/2 (very long arms) and look like pipe cleaners relatively (obviously not to Joe Public) cos of weak triceps and length of arm. MD referred to Vince's arms as 23" but MD also said Ronnie had 40" legs... If people were more honest with weight and measurements bodybuilding's overall delusion, excess and indulgence of mental illness might be reduced.

Fu cking Rich Piano. Embodiment of all the above issues.

Actually Vince was known to use oil...

No he didn't. I met Vince and watched him compete in the late '80's and early '90's. No oil available then - look at him today at 59, still HUGE!
