Which IFBB pro had the biggest arms ever? (on stage)

[jld010]

Dillet and Ronnie had huge arms, but what about Heath's? What do they measure at currently, does anyone know?

Contest, probably around 21, 3/4

[BiggerTommorow]

Yeah... Except... Not only do you not automatically believe it, you're actually concocting a friggin' conspiracy theory based on zero evidence whatsoever. You're imagining circumstances in which they could fake it, to say that it is fake, despite having no evidence of it being fake whatsoever.

Dillet was always mentioned in FLEX and other magazines during the 90's for having the biggest arms in bodybuilding, I've read 25 and 26 inches multiple times. Are you telling me that FLEX got everybody involved and decided to give Dillet the arbitrary measurement of 25/26 inches and deem his arms the biggest? You saying they just put him into a character role like a wrestling show?

lol... Considering there is valid information out there showing other pro's arm sizes, and Dillets were always the biggest, I'll take the measurement > your conspiracy theory

Unless of course, you know, all pros actually have 18 inch arms

im talking about the kovacs image not dillet and also Muscletech was peddling kovacs hardcore with claims of 420lbs off season and 27" arms. He was all hype and they did whatever to keep people interested. I'm not saying the picture is for sure bull**** but unfortunately all too often pictures are exaggerated especially when they are made to appear in a magazine.

honorable mention of the golden age

[oneshotGG]

i always feel somewhat disappointed when dillet is mentioned

he had the potential to be the greatest ever with his genetics and dethrone dorian, spent years and years building so much muscle

yet he couldn't spend a few fuking months practicing his posing

phil heath

Best? Debatable. Biggest? Not really.

[gilesmiles1]

You retarded? Your arm is round not flat, so it wouldn't be just as simple as doubling it... circumference, not diameter...

please read my post again
now realise that I am trying to call the top and bottom of his arm, and allowing for a bit extra
now derp off somewhere else....

[gilesmiles1]

someone failed math in middle school. The arm is more round than flat

You do not use the formula for a rectangle to calculate the circumference of an arm

how is that the formula for a rectangle? see my above post

[gilesmiles1]

childrens do learn good.

you as well........go to the back of the class

[gilesmiles1]

Lets use his thought process though and see if the photo is indeed a lie (or most likely a lie).

If we look at the top, we could say 28" is the peak (although it probably would curve around to the other side more so)
We can also be generous and say 17" is where the midpoint of the bottom would be.
that mean 11" for the front half of his arm. Now you must ask yourself, is the back half 14-15"?

He probably has 22"-23" arms in that photo.

this guy gets it.......

[gilesmiles1]

What the...u srs too?

According to the tape it's about 26", maybe 25 3/4 idk. And it looks to be wrapped tight so seems pretty accurate, unless theyre using some sort of trick tape lol.

naive much?

[gilesmiles1]

LMAO, literally laughed as I was reading this

Tell me that was a well orchestrated troll post

glad you found it funny, as did I find you funny at the utter lack of comprehension. And the ashes will be 6-0 btw

[Groggery]

Slow down there chief. You goofed, no big deal.

this.
whenever someone nominates Kovacs arms, that photo is the only 'evidence' and its obviously fraudulent. Do it with your own arm in front of the mirror. You can see all but an inch or two of half the circumference. I wouldn't even say his arms were particularly large on stage, if anything too small for his structure. Ronnie has by far the biggest I have seen IRL, but I still vote for Dillet

You can respond in one post, there's no need to answer them separately.

This can''t be. What the ....

[VinceFTW]

^ Bertil Fox is one of the most eye pleasing IFBB physiques of all time for me.

OT: Paul Dillet was the name that popped into my head. Ronnie a contender, so is Kai. Kai's arms are bigger than Heath's but Heath's are more complete (imo).

[spamy]

Rommy needs to step in and school everyone in this thread.

[RoroCwalker]

Not sure about the size.

[71Avido]

Is it just me or does that look really odd.

[JohnSmeton]

for his size I always like lee preists foreARMS, BICEPS AND TRICEPS

[daveel]

Just came in to say that p4p , is this pic real life.

[LT1Squirrel]

Being over 6 feet will always help

[BartPimpson]

Gunter had huge arms but I doubt he would even have been in the top 20.

[jld010]

Not sure about the size.

yes this man is huge, contest time his arms dont look that great, no fault of his own, its jsut that he is 6ft6.

[Shredthetics]

When did Phil lose his gut?

[KoncreteKyle]

here we go....

please the bit of the tape you can see goes from 18 inches at the bottom to 27 and a half at the top. That's 9 and a half inches times 2, =19 inches, even if you add two or three inches you are nowhere near 26....

the answer is dillet btw

To help you both understand something here, I made a cross-sectional diagram of what a "Flexed" arm looks like and made a comparative analysis. This should give us a better idea of what we are looking at and further explain the photo.

[Groggery]

What? WHAT?

This is beyond FullROM level of analysis here, do people really not understand how a tape measure works?

LOL, I was bored and seeing those guys say his arm is 28" and all the other stuff ... I had to point out the obvious ... That kind of led to me wondering how the tape would stack up against some actual numbers VS speculation and my photoshopping skills kicked in.

......... Although, having a bicep 4 1/2" wide is somewhat curious

[Groggery]

Inb4 the master himself comes up with a better representation.

well I just measured your cross section with a piece of string, and the bit at the top that you reckon is 4.5 is only 3, if we accept the camera view is indeed 8.75. Likewise the rear is an inch too big and the bottom an inch and a half, so even by your analysis and drawing, that comes to 21.75

My god are you drunk or just really that retarded son?
