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.

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?

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....

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #34 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:30:25 AM »

As for his chest, i don't think you could go around it with a measuring tape in less than 57"

I wish Jay can show a similar package this year!!!!

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #35 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:34:05 AM »

at age 21, with arms over 21"

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #36 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:37:07 AM »

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

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #38 on:** May 16, 2007, 10:41:37 AM »

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.

Ya, because the photographer got in the way of the mirror.

chest is believable at 57''

but no way his arms were 21-22''

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

hipolito mejia · « **Reply #44 on:** May 16, 2007, 11:11:36 AM »

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.
