Did Hulk Hogan really have 24'' arms?

[4themostHIGH]

Some people told me on here that he did most definately. Yeah he was big, but 24 inches? thats bigger than ronnie coleman! granted hogan is 4-5 inches taller, but still. i'd say they were never bigger than 21''.

[JCV]

ohhh brother!

[Rusty Shackleford]

Of course he did

He also drank his milk, said his prayers, took his vitamins, led the Jews out of Israel, defeated Godzilla and Mothra in a two-on-one handicap match, started and ended all major wars in the last century and invented oxygen.

Hogans arms are LONG... I would say 20" or so... That and the length makes them look beastly.

The height don't make much of a difference in arm size. He definitely did not have 24 inch arms.

[pearljamfan]

hogan said during the steriod trial of 1993 under oath that his arms were 22 inches at their biggest.

here rachael ray measures him at 20 inches just last year



hogan was alot more than 4-5 inches taller than ronnie coleman back in the 1980s it would be more like about 8 inches, HHH dwarfed Coleman at Mr Olympia back in 2004 and hogan was a few inches taller than HHH in 2002

i saw hulk next to the Rock, and Hulk next to John Cena, and his arms looked bigger than both of their arms. So if his arms are 20'', do u think that the Rock's are 19 or 18''?

Yes. The Rock's arm were not really all that huge...

[mustanglifter]

I saw Hogan wrestle when i was like 12..im 32 now...and he was hugeback then. It looked like he had a 14inch softball sitting on top of his tricep..man his arms were huge as hell back then.

No Doubt 24.

[Rockon2233]

Under oath he said, 22 at the largest.

Even that was adding the high amount of water he retained when he was younger.

It was not until the late 90s that he got the really ripped look either.

22" with holding a lot of water, and around 14% bodyfat when he was younger.

I know they would say 305 and 6'8", but even at his biggest he was more like 290 at 6'5".

If he was ever heavier than that it was including even higher bodyfat%, and water weight.

If you watch any of his old matches, early 1980s, you will notice that the water actually pools away from where his back was on the ropes, and almost leaves and indentation in his skin, that would last for about a minute.

Heavy water holding, and moderate bodyfat was commonplace back then. Guys were using heavy doses of basic testosterones, and other AAS that tended to cause a lot of water to be held.

It was not until the late 1990s that they figured out Estradiol conversion was the issue that was bloating them so much. Puffy faces. Then when ways to combat that became the norm for the bodybuilding sub-culture, so in turn did wrestlers start showing up a lot leaner, with a lot less bloat.

So, if his arms were ever over 22", which I doubt, it was including bodyfat and water holding.

Ronnie Coleman, on the other hand, had 23" arms, without much bodyfat, or extra water retention.

How dare you insult the masked maniac? Show some respect lol

[4themostHIGH]

what about the Rocks and ultimate warriors arms?

[Vengeance10]

I wonder if hulk tapped rachael ray after the show

[HoosierBoy]

Of course he did

He also drank his milk, said his prayers, took his vitamins, led the Jews out of Israel, defeated Godzilla and Mothra in a two-on-one handicap match, started and ended all major wars in the last century and invented oxygen.

He took more than vitamins...

I thought that was John Cena...

[Johnny Rotten]

what about the Rocks and ultimate warriors arms?

You want to compare them to Hogan?

[4themostHIGH]

yes, if hogan's arms are 20'', then what are their's?

[B.A.B.]

Hogan's arms were 21-22 inches at their biggest IMO, which was obviously some time ago now.

Strong knowledge.

I think Scotty Stiener had the biggest biceps of any wrestler... when he was roided out in WCW.

[Bib3773]

If you ask Hogan it would depend on who was around as to how he would probably answer. I remember them measuring them on a WWE show along time ago and WOW they were like 24 and a quarter. It was a gimmick. Kids (yes sadly including myself bought it). It was a selling point. He did have big arms, but Hogan is a big guy. Steiner in the later 90's are probably the largest arms i can remember seeing in wrestling (biggest in shape). Warrior was cut, but I don't remember his seeming overley huge. He still was in great shape.

22 inches is still pretty nice, I guess adding a couple inches isn't so bad. If you've ever been fishing then you have probably added a few to something at sometime yourself...lol

[Bulker]

I could take him.

[bernbabybern820]

Yes it does. Look at Lee Priest.

[BMatt]

Damn.. i always thought the Rock's arms were bigger than Hogan's, anyone see The Rundown? The Rock is a monster in that movie, guess not.

[Filthy Animal]

Damn.. i always thought the Rock's arms were bigger than Hogan's, anyone see The Rundown? The Rock is a monster in that movie, guess not.

rocks arms were huge back in 2004..they had to be at least 20

heres an interview from wwe from that year

[hoganrulz]

24'' baybeeeee WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE LARGEST ARMS RUN WILD ON YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ahem seriously though I agree with everyone else, I seriously doubt they were ever 24'', 22'' sounds more realistic. But Hogan still rules.

[mustanglifter]

X2!!!!!
