Reality check: at 6'1-6'2 tall to look grotesquely huge like those would take AT LEAST 22 inch pythons. Common sense will just wipe out whatever "Arthur Jones" or another liar/hater claims. Hope this helps.

if he was your average 5'6 bodybuilder then maybe. Im 6'1 and I do have 19 inchers so I know what I am talking about, hope this helps.

I challenge anyone here to post a current pro toping those guns in a FDB. There is a few pros, IF ANY, that can do that, even at wayyyy shorter heights you are most likely to dont find anything.

Good job brother.

I believe Jones measured them cold and extended, so you'll get lower readings -not that I even give a shit, but for the sake of argument.

NOT EVEN A himself has ever claimed his arms were more than a tad over 22 inches.
And that WAS NOT as early on in his carreer as this pic.
He is ca 20 inches there. Point blank. With all respect.

in pumping iron Im pretty sure the number 22 or 22.5 is thrown, and 1975 was one of the lighter competing years of Arnold (after '80).

It; as in "22" ", was "thrown around by one of the inmates in prison, were A was guestposing in the movie. IT was NOT A measurement at 75 O,,were he was light !.

Its called camera angle,his forearms look bigger than his head,all angle.WHen judging armsize compare the arms to the head as long as the pic is not taken from below or at an angle.Id say 20-21 at biggest when he was 255.
-
oaky Arnold had 22s, if Arnold had 22s then Sergio had 23s, because his were measured bigger than Arnold's...due to his arms being volumous and lacking peak...
And Leroy Colbert, ha, he only claimed to be the first man with with 21s, and I think Arnold outmassed him, and had bigger arms...numbers to sell magazines, just like today...
-
Arnold also isn't 6'2"!!

Who cares if they are 13'' or 25'' , they look huge that's all it matters .

MYTH.... another bs someone just made up and is now "fact". Look, if you look at side by side comparisons on both, at the same pic, you will see that Arnold almost dwarfs Sergio. Once again, frame and height are big factors when it come to absolute size numbers.
Sergios a lot of Sergios mass was an ilusion caused by his small head and tiny frame.
balls is back to you, if Sergio had 20 inchers, Arnold was easily 21+

:D
these are pushing 20 and i'm only 5'11" compared to Arnold's 6'2"......his are far bigger than mine
-
Arnold's skeletal frame easily supported his mass and without such a large frame upon which to build, he would most assuredly not have been nearly as large as he was. I have seen men with wrists measuring over 8" in circumference and their arms were much larger than those at very similar body weights with smaller bone structures. Think of all those "tiny" clavicle arguments about Phul Heath and perhaps then you'll understand what I am saying is true.

19 inches.... ::) ::) ::)
most impressive bicep pop ever!

And think of how much bigger volume-wise Arnold's arm were than mine to appear as big as they are on a 6'2" guy....19 inches is nonsense
-
19.75 cut like diamonds plus a crazy peak
groink you may have 18.5 inch arms, nowhere near contest shape and no peak, hope this helps

The inmate claimed Arnold's arms were 23"..
I read that Arnold's arms were 20" when he lived in England, because the woman who made his sweaters had to make them to fit a man with 20" arms...
-
Arnold also isn't 6'2"!!
Today, no...he's barely 6'0" today (if that).. In his youth, he was 6'1.5"-6'1.75"...

Was just going to say that. I've stood next to him on several occassions and I'm thinkin 6ft on the button, 6'1" stretching it.

Why would he use steroids, to have the best arms in the world? ::) :D
-
I don't understand these ignorant motherfuckers that think they know precisely how tall someone is because they stood by them. Or the dipshits that think they can calculate height, weight and arm size from looking a poorly scanned photo on the internet. Fucking kill yourselves.
-
in the 60's, EVERYBODY had 20 inch arms, larry scott, freddy ortiz, bill pearl, everybody ::)
in the 70's, 20 inch arms were old news, now EVERYBODY had 20 inch plus arms ::)
and so it progressed, Mike Mattarazzo and Dillet had 23's or 24's, ronnie had God-knows-what ::)
a REAL 20 inch arm of defined, striated, dry, contest-ready muscle, is very, very large, its almost the size of a sedentary individuals' thigh.
24 inches is almost the size of arnolds quads at his prime
bullshit propaganda from the magazines to make the bbers seem mythical, and sell supps.
-
agreed!
Then you are shooting your own arguement in the foot - it is a fact Arnolds arms were measured less than sergios - muscle bellies and illusion plus the mags editing pics play a huge part in what you see.
Arnold at his "biggest" before he made a splash in the BB world could well have had 20 inch arms but he was also fat and stupid - it wasnt till he had his ass handed to him by a much smaller yet better conditioned Zane that he stopped and realised that the biggest man is not always the best..
Your comment regarding Nubret holding his own against again is all illususion - Serge's Bellies and that god dam insane midsection help here - look to the width of sergio and serges medial deltoid to medial deltoid - that gives an honest answer to who held more mass.
Nubret's Arms at there biggest on stage were a lil over 18 inches - its all illusion/ full muscle bellies and insertions that make them look bigger.

In Arnold's Encyclopedia he says he has a small bone structure and people would often be surprised by how thin his wrists were.
"Small bones, big muscles'' if I remember correctly, is what he then said after mentioning this.
That's probably one of the reasons he always looked so much bigger at his weight.

i personally think arnies arms are near enogh 22 inches
-
Poeple wish they were 19 to make themselves feel better ... Arnie had 21-22's .. and that is ripped ...

Arnold's arms were about 21 inches....thread over.

the number is totally IRRELEVANT all that matters is how it looks

Bambi, you are not taking into consideration that Arnold had small joints and round muscle bellies that made his muscles seem much larger than they were. Bodybuilding is a lot about illusion. Paul Anderson had 23" arms and they looked smaller than Wheeler's did at 18", because Anderson had huge joints and square muscles that made them look smaller than they were, whilst Wheeler had extremely tiny joints with round muscles which gave the illusion of size.
SUCKMYMUSCLE

At 6'1" tall, this Olympian would have had to weigh about 308 pounds for his arms to be even close to 22 inches around.
----------------------------------------------------
WHAT DOES CHARLES POLIQUIN MEAN BY THIS ABOVE STATEMENT ?
IS POLIQUIN REFERING THE David P. Willoughby.SIZE CHART ...WHICH TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE ARM SIZE MEASUREMENTS OF THE PRE-STEROID ERA BODYBUILDERS.. ?
IF STEVE REEVE CAN HAVE 18 INCH ARMS DRUG FREE ..WHY CANT ARNIE HAVE 22 INCH ARMS..DURING THE POST STEROID ERA ?
-
Whoever saying Arnolds arms were below 19" are complete morons. Put any 5'8" bodybuilder with 19 inch guns beside a big man like Arnolds and you will see the size difference. Sure, too you people Lee P's arms look bigger than Arnies because of the illusion of definition. The big dudes with the big frames always have the larger gunz you stupid twinkies.
This all started from some Napoleon complex little f#ck that doesnt like the fact that no matter how much they work out, they will always be a short little man and will never have truly huge impressive proportionate arms like the big guys.

Lots of tiny tits with small shitty arms in this thread

Yes. Chances are the ones questioning Arnies arm size have of course, small arms. Jealous desperate underachievers or just talking out of school, I dunno.

No fucking less than 20 inches

Who the fuck cares? He still looked the way he looked. If you had his arms, you still wouldn't look like him, so why worry about it?
Doesn't matter if they were 18 or 25" -- he still looked like Arnold, and you can't and never will.
