Phil claims his are 22 inches, so no way Arnold, Lee haney and all the bodybuilders of the past who claimed 22 inches were telling the truth!

20 inches = Arnold.

What youa re not getting is that Phil's tris are huge as fuck---and the height of the arm is not the telling part, it's the volume...it's the reason why Sergio's were bigger than Arnold's

Phils arms are undoubtedly larger than Arnold's. Whether or not that means better is up to you, but in terms of size the simple reality is that Phil's arms are larger.

Yeh, not necessarily better at all. Haney claimed his were 22 inches which is hilarious! Super religious but such a liar!
-
Haney's were 19 at best, maybe closer to 18.
-
I have no problem believing Arnold's arms were somewhere between 21in and 22in - remember he was over 6ft tall and wasn't as ripped and dry as Phil when he competed so in terms of pure girth they were probably about the same.

Are you 12 years old?? 5 inches ... Everyone knows Arnold's were measured once live (off season) at just over 19 inches.

philsulina arms on stage are 20 inches which is huge in terms of the bodyfat he is at ,, inaddition to the lines and muscle bellie make it look bigger,, but it is 20-20.5 inches on stage
just to show you how crazy fellas are when they describe mesurments lol ,, 20 inch on stage is the biggest arms you can find for fellas 5'9 5'10 unless you are ron colman which was not human and was ...5'11,,but ron colman was just not human it was truly in the 21+ range and freaky freaky shape unlike philsulina which have seo in them ron didnt and ron muscle shape was freaky not just slabs of meat but the shape of it was freaky and built in layers,,,philsulina is just slabs of insulina and hgh enhanced with seo into good muscle bellies

Says the internet hero by looking pictures? One question: How you can measure 3D arm from the 2D picture? Well, you can't. End of the story. You simply can't compare circumference of the arm by lookin 2D pictures, that is stupid thing to do, because you can't know even the aspect ratio and how thick the bicep really is. You can get real inches just by measuring the real thing, and that's it. There is no another way to do it.

Haha, I don't think so - certainly not in his competitive days in the 70's.
Hell, I've got a 19in arm and mine look puny compared to these guys.

Well documented.. Prob because Arnold didn't have the hugest of triceps (2/3rd of arm size)

He's talking height....

If it's so "well documented" then maybe you can put the video on here for us all to see?

Arnold's weight and arm size varied throughout his career from big to huge. At his biggest, he would've easily had 22" arms, given his height.

Good way to expose yourself my friend. If your such an expert you'd know even ronnie inflates his own height, he's only 5'9"/5'10", these guys inflate all there measurements by atleast an inch, even bobby chiocorela claimed to be like 6 10. Anyhow numbers mean nothing he looks good move along.

If you knew your bodybuilding history you'd know this is fact. Don't think a video exists as it was in the 1970's. In fairness to Arnold it was a cold measurement. I think Arnold had genuine 21 inch arms off season. That is bloody huge. 2 inches is an enormous amount re arm size, just look at the difference in your leg near the knee and higher up!

This was claimed by Arthur Jones as a way of discrediting Arnold and sell his Nautilus equipment.
Only a true 100% fukwit would believe it.
Vince Basile measured Arnolds arms personally when they were 21.75 I believe.

Exactly. My arms are just shy of 19's and the difference is staggering.
-
Haney's were 19 at best, maybe closer to 18.
haneys arms were overshadowed by his immense torso, very thick chest, and huge wide thick lats, much like yates, this makes the arms appear smaller, while they're actually not
haney probably had 19 1/2, maybe 20in arms onstage, the fact he had high biceps didnt help
-
Phils arms look massive when he is alone due to insertions etc
When he was standing next to WOlf they didnt look so huge
-

This also it depends on shape and also the rest of the body in relation to the arms
Phil has good shoes arms... And a relatively small torso
-
Although a Totally Different Generation Sergio was Roughly the same height as Heath and was known for his Extra-ordinary Muscle bellys etc Arthur Jones Measured This arm COLD @ just over 20inchs @ 233lbs in 1971.
-
gotta be kidding if this is 18 inches,
look at the size of the man, 250lbs, tiny waist, not huge legs, which means bulk of the size is in torso, making big arms (with short bellies) look small

Arnold for the bicep.
Phil for the tricep.
Sergio for sheer size.

matarazo admitted the 24 in thing was bullshit for the magazines, off season bout 21 inches he said, bbing is all bout illusion, while mike had humungous arms, levrone and flex were same or bigger, but on mike because of his proportions, they were made to look even bigger
same with his calves and dickersons calves, the fact the thighs were not overdeveloped and they hade big, big calves, made their lower legs appear even bigger

Arnold was 6'2 and had a massive frame, no question his arms were over 21. Its impossible to tell by looking at a picture of him by himself, you need someone else in the picture to compare with to understand the relativity of 'size'. Definition has nothing to do with arm size either. People seem to get thrown way off when they see a little man with arms that look huge and ripped on a tiny frame, and automatically assume their arms are bigger than they actually are. Whats funny is, Heath probably struggles to curl 50lb dumbbells with those "massive" 22 inch arms. ::)

that pic was shopped...heres the real one....

Phil has big arms for his structure, but he's 4 or 5 inches shorter than Arnold. Put Phil's arms on Arnold and they would look small.
-
Always find it a bit weird how in the FDB phil doesnt seem to have any real size advantage over a lot of guys from top-to-bottom of the arm
But in his hands-clasped most muscular he annihilates everyone on arm 'height'
Am sure there's a logical explanation for this
Because he's got a narrow torso.
-
Matarazzo's arms were ridiculous offseason & in contest condition, however what most neglect to realise is that whilst Arnold's triceps werent great his bicep itself was freakish. The volume of it was far above average even by elite standards, his peak was ridiculous.
BTW i searched "Mike Matarazzo offseason" and came up with this pic lol.....

HIS ARMS ARE AS THICK AS HIS TORSO, YOU CANNOT SAY THAT ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE.

the douches on here call you assbruise, correct? anyway, i'm thinking the same. phil is a narrow 5.9. 19 in arms would look like 21 on his frame. how would you know the difference? how big were ronnie's, a guy with a big trunk, arms?

Where's The Luke and his infallible Bicep Volumetric Equation?

His upper body mass was insane, bicep development was just out of this world. They screamed volume.

Interesting - mate of mine I used to train with had 21 inch arms and he was about 5'7. I'm 6'4 and got mine to almost 20. Got to say - just by looking at us side by side at the time if you knew nothing about it you would assume his arms were like 26 inches or something if someone told you my arm measurement. Total illusion. I agree also - Arnold's arms in some of his pics - if he was 6'2 must have been around the 21/22 inch mark to look commensurate to the rest of his physique.
