Arthur Jones measured Arnold's arms when they were pumped, and they taped out at 19

Source:https://muscleandbrawn.com/biggest-b...3%2F4%20inches.


quoted from the article
"Welcome to the gun show! So, the question is: which bodybuilder has the biggest arms? Before we look at the answer to that question, let’s get something straight:

Most bodybuilders lie about arm size!

What did you expect? Did you really think that 20 inch pipes were are prevalent as tattoos at a biker bar? It’s hard to achieve 20 inch arms.

And for natural bodybuilders…it’s impossible. Impossible? Yes, impossible. Unless, of course, Mr. Natural is carrying around 58% body fat.

Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed to have 22-23 inch arms pumped. Arthur Jones measured Arnold’s arms when they were pumped, and they taped out at 19 3/4 inches. Quite a tall tale told by the Austrian Oak."



Thoughts? Do you think they are 20 inches flexed? Anyone on misc have 20 inch arms with little to no fat? Are they similar to Arnold's arms

I actually believe Arnold. He is 6'1 and 22 inches sounds realistic. The Rock is about 20-21 at 6'5, but Arnold looks slightly bigger

My arms have been over 17 inches and I'm a 5'11 natty nobody who barely even lifts.

There's no way Arnold's arms were <20 inches

I mean Arnold unlike his terminator character is a human being not a robot. The question iswhen those arms were measured
- if his arms were 19 in contest shape, they would be bigger off season
- if his arms were 19 early in his American years, he would have still added a lot of mass

Sergio Oliva's arms were bigger than Arnolds though, while Arnold was bigger at everything else

very well said. I think 22 inches if off season with much higher body fat
