I dunno, doesn't really matter, Arnold was clearly more balanced and aesthetic.

Both Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger were renowned bodybuilders and had impressive arm sizes during their prime. However, it is worth noting that measurements can vary depending on different sources and the specific time periods being referenced.

In general, Arnold Schwarzenegger is often considered to have had slightly larger arms compared to Lou Ferrigno. During his competitive bodybuilding career, Arnold's arms were measured at around 22 inches (56 cm). His biceps were particularly notable and became iconic in the bodybuilding world.

On the other hand, Lou Ferrigno's arm size was reported to be around 23.5 inches (60 cm) during his prime. He was known for his massive muscular build and was often referred to as "The Hulk" due to his portrayal of the character in the television series.

It's important to keep in mind that these measurements can vary depending on different sources, and both individuals had impressive arm sizes. Ultimately, determining who had "bigger" arms is subjective and can depend on specific measurements and personal opinions.

Lou-but he couldn't match up to the dense muscular package of Gary Strydom-dropped out of the 1992 WBF Championship when he was told it was drug free.

Legit had a conference call with Lou speaking at my company years ago. It was surreal, dude was all business.

Anyway, I’m old enough to have watched Lou beat up chitty dad’s and bullies in hulk, so he’s got my vote. Arnie probably got bigger and then cut hard for that definition. Or it could be genetics. Both were blessed.

I also wonder, who wins in a fight, prime Arnold or prime Ferrigno?

It's amazing how skinny Lou's arms are now. Hulkster's arms went from 24 1/2" peak to 20", but Lou's went from 23 1/2" peak to now 13 1/2".

Here's a better photo from the same time frame. You also have to appreciate how long Hulk Hogan's arms are and high gigantic his head is to put things into perspective. Buster Douglas had a 6'11 1/2" wingspan and The Hulkster made him look short armed and narrow shouldered by comparison. The Hulkster's not a short armed tiny skulled manlet like Ronnie Coleman.
