i always read this in flex mags and also on arnies profile on bodybuilding.com,it states arnold had a 57 inch..so is this true or just those old bodybuilding exaggerations?
-
I tend to believe it's true. The only thing I believe may be exaggerated a bit is maybe his height.

imo it was more around 63/64 ish.

chest is believable at 57''
but no way his arms were 21-22''

Arnold is and was THE greatest Bodybuilder in the world... # I think we need a friendly reminder so you don't forget who worship bitches >:(

You're right. No way are they at least 21''. ::)

YES!!!!!! This pic should clear it up........and I think his arms were what he said they were....what the fuck does it matter if they were 20 instead of 21....they definitely were bigger than 19.....

Hell. You can say they were 18''. The look of his arms were phenomenal! :o

Absolutely...they guy was ahead of the times......

Tiny quads and smallish arms
The Myth owns him 8)

well the 3 body areas that factor into the chest measurement are: lats, rib Cage, and pecs.
Arnold had the big pecs and rib cage, but I dont think that he had the lat size to measure in the 60" range.
-

That's a bizarre conclusion that one was accurate and not the other. His arms were probably 21-22 pumped.
Whatever his chest was doesn't matter still the best ever chest.

I totally agree. His ribcage, especially, gave him a big advantage!

Well, maybe in 1972, but that's it. ;D

It was always close between them, which made it interesting. Never obviously one-sided.

pumpy do you think that his chest was 57 inches in his prime?

No idea but like the 22" arms, probably partially true, maybe 22" at 250 lb., pumped.
Two of the top chest shots in BB history:

did he ever tip the scales at 250lbs?..most of the time he competed at 240lbs

When he got to Venice, late 60s, early 70s in between contests.

allways sticking up for the brothers huh ::)
-
but no way his arms were 21-22''
from 1970 to 1974 in the gym pumped they were around 22"
(bigger than big Lou 21")
If Sergio's were 21" at 5'9" tall,Arnold coudn't have less than that.
-
He could have had less than 57" chest......
but did it look bigger than 57?
Yes
WOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHH
-
If Sergio's were 21" at 5'9" tall,Arnold coudn't have less than that.
Looking at the pics Arnold and Sergio looked to have about the same arm size IMO. Oliva's were 20.5 cold, probably close to 22" pumped, about the same as Arnold give or take a little depending on bodyweight.
I believe Arthur Jones on Oliva's measurement but not on Arnold's, they were about the same size.

Many of his pics are morphed...I noticed that some time ago when some of the same pictures of him have an abnormally pronounced chest and then I would see the untouched picture somewhere else and see that his chest was no where near as big. THe same has been done to pics of his arms and waistline. I don't believe that I am mistaken in saying this same issue was brought up before about his pics being MORPHED like this one. I have to find the pics and scan them of the exxagerated chest and arm shots...pathetic....why spend so much time on a person who is all but dead now, while the real champs are going un-noticed.
BTW...no Arnold did not have 20 or 21 inch arms and no he did not have a 57 inch chest...These measurements were only a dream in that time and era...

-Were you there, to be able to say without doubt that the measurements aren't accurate?
-Your theory on morphed shots: but i haven't seen many, just a few. Post a shitload of em or your theory implodes.

Arnold claims that 1971 was his biggest (in size)and best year !!
arms 22" 1/2 and calves close to 21"
Serge Nubret at 6' feet tall had a 20" arms
this was 1971....

As for his chest, i don't think you could go around it with a measuring tape in less than 57"
(http://www.schwarzenegger.it/gallery/musclegallery4/m614.jpg)
I wish Jay can show a similar package this year!!!!

at age 21, with arms over 21"

Whats up with Arnold and his side chest, most of the pics his eyes look like he is higher than Robert Downey Jr. in the 90s
-
Arnold- "Ed look at the mirrow and tell me what you see"
Ed Corney- I would say "photo shop if it wasn't the 70's and i wasn't here"

from 1970 to 1974 in the gym pumped they were around 22"
(bigger than big Lou 21")
If Sergio's were 21" at 5'9" tall,Arnold coudn't have less than that.
I don't doubt he had a 21 inch arm, but both? No way. There was a noticeable diff. in size between his two arms.

maybe 21 in the off season when he was heavier but not pre contest. The chest measurement I can believe but his Arnie's height was also exaggerated
-
You can see that all he nedded to do was to hit the gym a bit serious for few weeks this was after filming Red Heat and preparing to work wirh Ivan Reitman .
arms around 20" with dear Joe in this Pic.

sorry i checked my height after i posted that and i am apparently 5,10 i guess that obviously means arnold is 7,0 ;D

I think Arnold is at least 5'11, but also doubt his height claim of 6'2.

sigh, you guys always compare with 'seeing him eye to eye' and shit.. when did you see him eye to eye? 20 fuckin years ago?
no in the past 10 years .. everyone shrinks a little when they grow older, due to curvature of the spine and vertebrae compaction etc
-
From celebheights.com: "Vince Basille has said he measured Arnie in 1969 at 6ft 1.5."
-
Arnie the best
-
the reason he always looks high is because he was usually high - it was the 1970's
-
i always read this in flex mags and also on arnies profile on bodybuilding.com,it states arnold had a 57 inch..so is this true or just those old bodybuilding exaggerations?
How about this? Chest: 57 inches *(World record, Guinness book of world records). He had that measured for a world record, so I believe that there is prove enough? Guinness doesn't certificate any records without official measurement, so that has to be true.

This would be educating thing for you: Walk to the public library, find any of the GBWR from years 1980-90, and read it from the source. I understand this is difficult to you, and you cannot understand things which have happened before you born, but you can still try.

this is correct..and in the book. in fact guiness dont allow the subject to spread their lats or breath in either.
theres heaps of guys walking around with 55inch+ chest measurement ....sheesh you guys must be midgets..
i dont train no more but measured 53-54 inches for years at 6 foot, with 19 inch arms, 19.5 pumped.
and no way does a 20.5 inch arm pump to 22 inches. 21 1/4 maybe...
i find it hard to believe that arnie's chest was only 57 inches...and arms only 21 inches. i do recall him writing about them being 22 inches and over at times during his career. why would everyone think he exaggerates?...what has he to gain from that?...
in fact it was his advantage to tell everyone what they were... coz it psyched everyone out. they'd be like...holy crap arnie make my arms look like twigs and mine are 20 inches!.
18 inch arms are maybe big on a 5 foot 6 guy.. but on a 6 footer they look crap...so no way was arnie's arms in his movies 18 inches...19 inches at least.
flame away retards but i really am amazed that you think such measurements are bogus...do/did any of you train at all?..

NO, THEY LOOKED THE SAME WHEN I SAW THEM PUBLISHED IN MUSCLE IN '74.
HANEY WAS NOWHERE NEAR COLEMAN, OLIVA OR SCHWARZENEGGER, HE ALWAYS HAD SERIOUS BALANCE ISSUES.

I think Arnold is at least 5'11, but also doubt his height claim of 6'2.
you guys are funny. He is at least 6'1" I am just a hair under 6'1". I am wearling tennis shoes in this pic as I think he was. We have hats on but his eyes are just slightly higher than mine. Now he might not be this tall today since you do shrink some as you get older. But he is 100% taller than 6' or 6'1". Unless he has some great lifts in his shoes.
