RETURN OF THE PROPHET
-
Please be mindful that spamming/flooding of multiple threads with Mentzer pics will result in a vacation.
We're all fans of the legends of the past, so a picture here and there is fine. But if threads get flooded with Mentzer pics, it could result in a small ban.
Of course, it would take many threads and enough members hitting the report to moderator button, but please keep this in mind.
Carry on,

About 18.

I remember reading in a Flex magazine, I think, Mentzer himself said his arms were 18.5'', properly measured
-
Gee, Dad, he's big.

Took the word right out of my mouth

Keep in mind Mentzer was 5'8'' (although some people claim he was 5'6'') so 18.5'' muscular arms look huge on him. To put things into perspective, in my pic my arms were 17.5'' back then at 5'7'', about the same height of Mike Mentzer

Impressive physique, it is unclear how strong Mike was, but with the help of steroids and meth, he probably had a 550+ bench press, a 750+ deadlift and a 900+ squat. Ray Mentzer claims he did a 925 lbs squat. Maybe he was on meth too

Another great shot of Mike, what a beast

Even short Lee Priest was 280 when his arms were about that big, but they were not lean.

Rob was once thrown out of a dental office because his arms were too big and threatening

^^^ The only sin that Mike Mentzer ever committed: lying about his arm size. He lied, and he pretended that his arms were less than 24. Will Getbig forgive him?

We don't need to because he's dead.

How much do you think a guy's arms grow when pumped if he has say 17-18 inches cold?
I "know" it's not as much as some assume, at all. If you never tested yourself go ahead and report here. Some fellas get next to no increase, maybe 2-3 millimeters.

Probably an inch.

Really? It is quite a lot. I don't know what your arms measure, it's not that important, but could you take your cold measurement and then pump up both the bis and tris to the max and measure again? If you're natural it probably lessens the pump effect but you should still get plenty of blood there. You don't have to say how big your arms are just the differential. I would be really interested if a few solid guys here did the same. I used to think I probably got an inch, but when I actually tried it was like maybe 1cm. Furthermore I think you actually might get a bigger differential the next 48 hours after a murderous arm workout as some inflammation and water buildup sets in. Those all day long arm sessions a la Piana only appeared to work due to local inflammation. Come on guys, do it for me, for research purposes :)
As a sort of related matter, I've been playing in my head with perhaps shooting some base hormones (just the base hormone without the ester which has to be cleaved before the hormone does its thing) suspended in MCT oil. Maybe there could be some longer term local hypertrophy? Some say just putting a small amount of MCT oil itself, or just any fatty acid, in the muscle say after a workout for that specific muscle, in itself stimulates a small hypertrophic response, and medium chain triglycerides (think the fatty acids in coconut oil for example) have been shown to activate the androgen receptor all by itself. There was some study showing chickens, I think, injected with nandrolone in the chest caused an outsized hypertrophic response in the chest in particular. All this is highly
theoretical. For reasons my arms are absolutely pathetic right now, haven't trained them for years but I just now started hitting them twice a week and hoping they respond. I actually have loose skin hanging off my tricep. :'( So I was playing in my head with ways to get even better results, even if they will necessarily be small (with local site injects I mean). Only problem is how to source base hormones. One thing I can get is suspened methyltrienolone which is shit strong even in microgram amounts while being extremely liver toxic but I was thinking maybe 25-50mcg injected in the arms instead of the 1 or more milligrams usually ran as short cycle bursts. As extra info, a number of years ago the whole Greek weightlifting team was suspened over methyltrienolone, I think they figured the doses are so small it should clear faster that other AAS but the tests are super sensitive nowadays. Other considerations would be trestolone base, which is also active in microgram/day amounts, stanozolol, test base, tren base, Dianabol and etc. Other considerations would be IGF-1 DES which some claim is somewhat effective as a local enhancement vs the more common LR3 which is systemic and longer acting. I was further thinking of perhaps some Fiasp insulin which is active within seconds, regular GH and etc, hit your arms with injects at the end of your regular arm workout, trap the peptides and blood in your arms for longer with those Kaatsu bands and do the Kaatsu protocol hoping to get a longer stimulus which otherwise would disperse into systemic circulation within minutes.
BTW, has anyone here played with the Kaatsu bands at all. They will cause one hell of a pumped feeling if nothing else. One mechanism behind why it works in studies is local hormone induction like IGF-1 and other beneficial metabolite accumulation.
Another long ass post which hardly anyone will read but perhaps some rare individual here might find mildly interesting :)

Have you ever said anything mildly interesting in your life?
-
Its official. These arms are 24

Mentzer was definitely one of the best in his era but I was never a fan of his physique. I favored Arnold, Olivia, Bannaout, Zane, Padilla, Nubret. His arms while big did not have that eye catcher roundness, his delt-pec tie ins werent nice, his waist was wide by his eras standards. He was pretty complete but just didnt stand out in one of the most competitive eras.

guy in the grey added half inch
guy in the yellow added one and a half inches which is... A TON

That stupid 8 hr arm workout put an inch on your arms from inflammation

It is a ton, almost unbelievable, although I don't disbelieve it either. Half an inch is good too.
-

Yep, but the sore elbows last a lot longer.
-

yeah those are AI generated. I don't know how that works but it doesnt even look like Mentzers face in the first two. Maybe the last one. But yeah fake AI generated pics.

One and a half inches though?

these guys are very annoying
