He's great, no doubt.

But where do you get the idea that Ronnie Coleman has 25 inch arms?

Post by: pumpster on June 28, 2006, 11:14:22 AM: Wouldn't surprise me if Coleman's arms are 24-25" pumped, which is how they're usually compared.

Aside from the muscle, his shoulder structure is so much wider than those other guys in the pic; huge difference.

U guys are so observant, bordering on moronic-Lavrone's obviously closer to the camera and on a slight angle in each pic. You guys are brilliant. hahahahhahah

Levrone making Coleman look small!!

Levrone was 248lbs in 1998. Coleman was 249lbs.

Levrone was holding a bit of water at that show. If he came in at 240-242lbs he could have been runner up or even won. Levrone did beat Coleman 5 months earlier that year at the San Francisco pro.

Post by: Hulkster on June 28, 2006, 02:25:20 PM: I doubt ronnie has ever had 25 inch arms in contest shape.

I could see a legit 24 inches at a huge weight of 287 pounds in 2003, but thats it:

(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=50084.0;id=51597;image)
because of the high biceps peak and huge posterior triceps head, I could see these arms maybe measuring 24 inches onstage...they are phenominal.

In 2003, Ronnie's arms may have been the best of his career.

I know guys who weighs 330 lbs+ and have enormous triceps, powerlifters.

These guys normally usually have arms around 20-21 inches.

So how the fcuk is Ronnie gonna have arms who are 3-4 inches bigger than them?

WITHOUT the fat?

I believe Ronnie or Toney "Spelled with E" Freeman to have the biggest arms today. But they're never gonna be above 23 inches in contest shape.

Which is STILL enormous.

the reason why ronnie and other bbers would have bigger arms that those powerlifters is bc they dont really train their arms. sure, they may 2 exerices combined for bi's and tri's, but not a complete workout like a bber would to develop and build his arms.

same thing with the wsm competitors. some are 330 lbs. and have 20 inch arms that look like the arms of a lineman.
Title: Re: look how big coleman looked even at 253lbs at the OLYMPIA 1998
Post by: Hulkster on June 28, 2006, 08:47:58 PM: the other thing is that a really high peaked biceps muscle ontop of an othersize equally sized triceps will tape larger than an arm with a longer, flatter biceps muscle with a low peak. Ronnie's peaks are really high. In some shots they make his arms look almost as big as his head:

Add 20 lbs to his waistline and 10 lbs to his quads and calves and you have the current Ronnie.
