King Kamali: Jan 12th 2007

"My arms measure 21 .75 inches in contest shape and 22+ in the off-season"

http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.p...379#msg1709379






Ronnie's arms were measured at 21.7'' 3-4 weeks after the 2004 Olympia

Ronnie at the 2004 O



Priest's arms were measured by Joe Roark- "His upper arm measured an unbelieveable 21-1/4'' " cold off-season . He said that his arms pumped come to around 22''
Someone posted an offseason video of Lee a week or two ago where Lee stated that his right arm was "still" 22 pumped off season. In competition, pumped you're looking around 20.75- 21"







Phil Heath in 2008, told a senior writer of flex magazine that his arm was around 21" at a bodyweight of 263- clearly off season, in a arm wrestling video posted on youtube, Phil also stated that his arm was 21.3 off season''




Sergio Oliva has stated his arms measured cold were 20.25'', and 21.25'' pumped








So the question is:
Are Kamali's arms -as he asserts-bigger than;

Priest's?
Heath's?
Sergio's?
and the same size as Coleman when they're both in contest condition?



I assume that there will be some who will accuse me of "hating"

All that I'm doing is asking a question and if there is something wrong with that well that means that we can't ask the following questions in threads; who's [body part] is bigger/better? cause that's clearly hating (rolleyes)

Phil Heath arms were measured 23's in his last off-season. The left one

wtf? Ronnie's arms are 23-24 offseason. His arms measured at 23 inches this past february, so they were bigger in his prime.

[Captain Sagara]

Kamali has terrible arms. Look like he has two Dorian 97 injured arms..

How do you explain that video on Korea at 310 lean pounds??

I'm trying to figure out the 1 voter believes that Kamali's arms are bigger than Heath, Priest, Sergio and on par with Coleman

What do you reckon?
1) We're both wrong?
2) sympathy vote?
3) Kamali ghost voting?
4) non-English speaking person not properly understanding the question?

[Pro King Kamali]

The answer to your question is no. Okay? Are there any other questions you have about me? I will be more than happy to answer them for you.

came across that post today when I was doing a search on getbig, most people believe that pros exaggerate their stats, I came across this statement and I was curious what the fellow members here thought of it, did they agree with it or not?

[Captain Sagara]

King how much they actually measure??
Sometimes insertions give the ilusion of bigger or smaller arms but sorry on that one but they are not 21.75 contest condition.

[Pro King Kamali]

I'm not sure.. But I will measure them the day before I compete the next time around.

It's cool brother... He is curious.

I'll measure them next week before arms (cold) and after (Plamosis pumped).

BTW.. That is not a very good pic you picked out JDX... Here are some pics throughout my pro career that give you a better sense of how big my arms really are:

[Captain Sagara]

You don't need to measure them to prove a point. I asked just out of curiosity.
They do look big in certain poses and at a bodyweight of 295 they are probably over 21's off-season,just that your insertions at certain angles make them look a lot smaller and injured (like that pic posted)

[iForce Dave]

ha! damn straight, shut em up King!

[KevinSorbo]

great pics

[Zane_Fan]

Damn I think this is the best pic of King I've ever seen. lookin pretty sick

ha! damn straight, shut em up King!

It's all good.

Respect.

nice the back and quads are sick!!!!!!!

Op needs to take a look at himself, really..

With the genetic card Kamali was dealt he has built an awesome physique, arguably surpassing those who are more naturally gifted than himself. Ontop of all that he comes on here regularly to answer aspiring bodybuilders questions, yet people still try and give him sh!t?

Get the **** out..

[Daewoo_Lanos]

so basically this thread has shown me that the majority of bodybuilding fans rate a person's genetics almost entirely on their arms and stomach. bicep and ab warriors unite.

just look at phil heath. how many people act like he's got the greatest genetics on the planet just because he's got the greatest genetics on the planet from shoulder to wrist... and nowhere else?

maybe it's just me... but since when has being born with shorter than "ideal" bicep and tricep insertions automatically negated every other genetic gift you've received and left you with so-called bad genetics?

[KevinSorbo]

yep^^ Kamali has great genetics, the fact that he is a Pro is testimony to this. Every bodybuilder has weaknesses and he says he is under construction doing what he can with what hes got, I have only respect for that.

Those pics look awesome, particaularly the rear lat spread.

kamali's delts, chest, back, traps, quads, hamstrings, and calves are not normal/average/poor/decent/pretty good genetically.

in the real world, they are abnormal in every way possible. in the bodybuilding world, it means kamali was born with some gifts most of us weren't.

but damn... he dont have the prettiest bi/tri genetics like phil heath, so his genetics blow anyone would be lucky as **** to be born with such 'badddddd' genetic luck.

in b4 someone besides me realizes that kamali's chest and his back thickness (at his IFBB pro peak) obliterate phil heath's.
