Did Hulk Hogan really have 24'' arms?

[Blue Blazer]

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

x2, because let's look at this from a bodybuilding perspective, Arnold had 22 1/2 inch biceps, but he was definitely shorter than the hulkster

Point is, 22 1/2 inch arms are f*cking huge, so I doubt Hogan's were bigger than one of the best bb'ers of all time (my opinion onn Arnold of course)

I could take him.

Lol, just lol

You guys really don't know much about height and wing span do you? A midget the height of Ronnie Coleman can have the exact same circumference arms as say Shaq or Big Show and they'd look gigantic on that midget, but not so big on Shaq or Big Show. Hulk Hogan was at least 6'7"(6'8" according to some) back in 1979. He also has very long arms like a basketball player. Here's a photo of the Hulkster's massive arms back from 1979.

Here's a very interesting site with Hogan shrinking over time and how big he used to be back in the day.

strong bump, hogan under oath said his arms were not bigger than 22 inches so why do you still believe kayfabe, colemans arms (measured at 21.5 inches btw) still look huge next to big show

[Musicnation]

I wonder if the guy talking about Hogan retaining water still posts.

Be interesting to hear his thoughts on Hogan 1993-1994 physique, guy shrunk down more than Chris Masters.

Would love to know the timeframe/see pics of the before after steroid trial if indeed that is when he shrunk.

If indeed the guy still posts... It was 4 years ago lol

Also, he may not have had 24" arms, but Rick Rude had the most aesthetic physique going for a while.

I wonder what old school cutting aids were used.

[Hardbody316]

ITT people cant understand 20 inch "bodybuilder' arms look bigger than 20+ inch hogan type arms..Obese people have like 30 something inch arms..whats hard to understand

[treeleaf]

In Hogan's testimony Hogan never says his arms are 22 inches. I think he's just agreeing with the lawyer to not be arguementive. The lawyer never asks specifically how big his arms are. The lawyer only asks if Hogan says the 22 pythons are going to get you or whatever I can't remember the exact quote.

OLD POST OF MINE ^^^

Found testimony courtesy of old link by Pearljam

Government: Is part of the appeal of Hulk Hogan his physical size?

Terry B: Yes.

Government: His 22 inch arms?

Terry B: Yes.

http://www.hack-man.com/Wrestling/Ne...ulk-roids.html

and second mention from same link

Defense: Do you still refer to your arms as pythons when in character?

Terry B: Yes.

Defense: As 22 inches?

Terry B: Yes.

Defense: Are they still 22 inches?

Terry B: Yes.


Maybein, I's forgotten how to read and me's edumacation is has failed me but I do believe Hogan never actaully said his arms were 22".

He's, as I said agreeing to not be argumentative and move the proceeding along. Look at the last exchange. Hogan NEVER referred in character as his arms as being 22". Hogan also says "yes" to "still 22 inches". He perjured himself by saying he refers to his pythons as 22". This indicates he's merely agreeing to move things along not quibble about unimportant facts. You think Hogan would do that if it was an important fact?


I don't think HOgan's arms were 24" but that testimony does not prove Hogan had 22" arms or that Hogan said he did.

[SuperGeO]

He was also nearly the bass player for Metallica.

[wake_me]

anyone else not realize this was an old thread until seeing Masked Maniac's post. lulz

[wake_me]

I wonder what old school cutting aids were used.

they clearly were never 24 if ronnies were only 21.5 and arnies were only 19.5, i remember hogans arms used to be dwarfed by tony atlas back in the early 80s and his were nowhere near 24

and they certainly don't look 24 here without shadows, lighting techniques etc

From a random point of his life isn't the same, arms weren't always that big, may not of been when the "24" gimmick.

They were massive in his prime. Was around 6'7. Had them sort of measured at 24" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--LCfLawvSc) and in around 2007 at just under 20". Not definitive, but everything considered quite possible and think so.

Haha yeah of course! Rude must have had a couple grams a day the bodyfat he had.

you obviously still dont get the idea that someone with a larger fram/height who is actually somewhat built will have big arms reguardless...obviously u didnt wanna read this thread, his arms were like 20 inches in 2008 when he looks like 50 pounds lighter than he used to be.

so you believe wwfs cartoon stuff back in the 1980s?? vince was billing hogan at 6'8 and 340lb too, andre 7'5 and 550lb, john studd 6'10, andre lifting 2000lb, dino bravo benching 715lb, none of that stuff was legit

if hogan really had 24 inch arms back in the 80s vince would have said they were 30 inches or something mad

[Sal29]

Height and WINGSPAN are VERY VERY important here and STILL BEING TOTALLY IGNORED.
Hulk Hogan was taller than 99.8% of bodybuilders in his prime. Even after (multiple knee surgeries, back surgeries, hip surgeries, neck surgeries, a curved spine, etc caused MASSIVE HEIGHT LOSS), the Hulkster was STILL TALLER Than Lou Ferrigno.

Has ANYONE actually looked at this site below which shows how tall the Hulkster really was back in the day?

http://fighterplanes.yuku.com/topic/...F-A-MAN?page=1

BTW, Ronnie Coleman looks VERY VERY VERY PUNY next to Big Show . Big Show's arms can't be seen, but they'd definately be much bigger than Coleman's. Big Show has lost height and has stopped working out hard. Coleman would look even more miniscule compared to peak Big Show. Big Show's hands look bigger than Coleman's whole body LOL!

[Sal29]

Most people are living in a dream world about Hogan's arms and his height. Hogan's arms have fluctuated throughout the years. Showing photos of Hogan when his arms were FAR FROM peak doesn't prove anything. The question is what was Hogan's PEAK arm size, not what his minimum arm size was.
Is Hogan's arm size the same in these 2 photos?

19" arms in pro wrestling are a dime a dozen, and even women in Pro Wrestling like peak Nicole Bass have arms that big. Look at Jeep Swenson or Ice Train if you want to see big arms for pro wrestling.
Hell, even a 70 year old Ric Flair probably has 19" arms and he's a skinny skinny midget compared to peak Hogan.

Jeep's arms were much bigger, this photo doesn't do them justice.

no they are not and flair never had 19 inch arms, are you 5 years old or something, 19 inch arms are arnold at his peak, the biggest arms in bodybuilding back in the 1970s never went over 20 inch but sure 19 inch arms are dime a dozen in wrestling, jesus h christ

ronnies dwarfing a peak steiner and steiners arms were bigger than hogans fatceps ever were, hogan taller than 99.8% of bodybuilders, you do realise conan stevens, khali, ralf moller, noah steere were all bodybuilders right??

i didnt say i beleived he had 24 inch arms, im stating that if u guys dont think they were atleast 22 at one point..(MORE FAT THAN MUSCLE) but still 22 atleast then u are in a dream world

lets put it this way, paul dillet back in the day had a legit 23+ inch arm, considered one of the biggest "bodybuilding" arms





but look how tiny lou makes him look

[pearljamfan]

lets put it this way, paul dillet back in the day had a legit 23+ inch arm

dillet did not have arms 1.5 inches bigger than ronnies

ronnies were claimed anything up to 26 inches, arnolds were claimed to be 22 inches

ronnie was measured right after the 2004 olympia at 21.5 inches, that video was on youtube but since taken down

Ric Flair's arms look like they're 15 or 16 inches. LAWLZ at having 19 inch arms. I would say David Otunga has about 18 or 19 inch arms


As far as Hogan goes, I would believe 20-21 inch arms but not much more than that.

[ICEMANLIDDELL]

[wayprotein]

yeah according to that photo dillet has 26 inch arms which is just ridiculous

i would also be very wary of rachel ray "measuring" hogan, look at this guy "measuring" khali e.g even though khali in hindu says he was 7ft, the presenter measured him at 7'3 and 24.5 inches for khalis biceps, hmm not buying that
