how big where arnolds arms in his day?

19 & 3/4

as measured by Arthur Jones.....Only Sergio Oliva had 20+ arms in those days...as a competitor anyway. He was also measured by Arthur Jones.

Arnold liked to exaggerate everything about himself.

Maybe 19 3/4" when Arnold was 18 years old , but not in his best condition in his early twenties when he was winning the 'O's.
 
Go take a look at some of the pics Gear101 posted of Arnold in the Pro Pics Forum and tell me those are 19 3/4" arms.:rolleyes:
 
In the early seventies Arthur Jones, the inventor of Nautilus Equipment, measured all the top bodybuilders..thats what he said Arnold's arms were. I believe Arnold had bigger arms when he was younger and about 250 but A lot of Arnold was illusion..he looked great so what difference does it make? He did not have great triceps size either so this detracted from his total arm size.
 
but

Arnold did train like a freak he moved some unreal weight!Some where soemone was bla bla ing about his arms thats why I asked the ?? I got the answer thanks guys
