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.

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.

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).

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...
