Eugene Sandow->

I was reading about Eugene Sandow and I was surprised that he had 19.5" biceps! They dont look that big in the pics. Hmmm, I wonder if that is true. Interesting too is that he died while holding up the back end of a car while his friend changed a flat- he had a stroke. Problem was there were 2 strippers in the back seat and that was extra weight- when his wife found out about the strippers she took all his fortunes and bought all the Sandow memorabilia she could find and burned it! What a trip. Abs are developed to look so much more trim nowadays, his were large all over.

That fucker couldn't have had 19.5" guns. They were even worse about exaggerating back then than they are now.

That is what I was thinking, I know he used to lie about how much he lifted but...look at this pic of his biceps. How big do you think they are?
p.s.-it is pretty funny how he used to charge the ladies $300 bucks to "touch" his biceps. I wonder what else they were touching.hehehe.

Looks like somewhere between 16 and 17 inches. No way in hell is that anywhere close to 19.5". LMAO

I feel like a little skinny guy and pretty much am- 5'11" @190ish and my arms are just a cunt hair short of 16". They dont look big to me. OK ladies, fork up the 300 bucks and you can "feel" the guns....hehe. That is too funny.

Well how tall was the guy? In some pictures they look like the measure up, imo.

My pic on the pics board was taken when my arms were about 19 3/4" cold and I'm 6' 2.5". Without trying to sound arrogant, I would venture to say that I smoke that motherfucker on size.

Yeah but you have to give him some credit, he was the first big guy that was known for weight lifting. Back then he looked like a freak. Nowadays he looks like allot of guys that are natural.
