Arthur Jones has made the following measurements:

Bill Pearl 13 3/4"
Arnold Schwarzenegger 14" cold
Franco Columbo 13 1/3"

the largest he ever measured where Sergio's at 15 1/2" cold
Casey Viator also almost had 15 1/2" with 7 1/2" wrists

Both Mentzers had 7 1/2 inch wrists and Mike 15  1/4" and Ray 15 9/16"

Now the thing is you're supposed to measure you forearms when straight out and not bent.

I measured mine at 13 5/8th cold.

What's yours?


15 9/16" is fractionally bigger than 15.5", but sergios look bigger than rays to me

Yes but you gotta remember that Arthur Jones was a sneaky bastard. He measured the Mentzers arms in front of an audience and those "bodybuilder" brothers probably pumped each other up before their guest appearance. Ray was also dubbed as the worlds biggest arms in the book. ::)

Ray was said to have bulked to 280-290, completely surpassing his brother Mike's level of muscular development, although there are little to no pictures available of his at that time.

Onlyme knows what I'm talking about.

that what I was thinking.

they honestly believe that dorian could match Ronnie when Ronnie is in shape, which is ludicrous.

but we have a 690 page thread for all about that.

Arthur Jones wasn't a "sneaky bastard" Alexxx. Jones is known for his uncompromising integrity.

Bill Pearl recently said in an interview that Ray Mentzer was the strongest bodybuilder he ever saw.

Those are some seriously monster forearms. Both he and Coleman had massive, detailed forearms- I don't see too much of a difference except for probably Ronnie's look a little shorter- more taper.

Sergio's are nuts in that shot! :o
