Får gjenta denne da...
I følge Sergio Oliva så var Sergio den eneste som rundet 20 tommer (ca 51 cm) rundt armene av de to når de ble kontrollmålt hos mr. Arthur Jones.......... De fleste, inkludert Arnold, er nok enige i at Sergio hadde de største armene av de to. Hva Arnold oppga som mål selv er en heeeeelt annen sak, men 22 tommer var han definitivt ikke..... Ikke noen ukjennt sak at han alltid har likt å være en skøyer heller - skal ikek se bort fra at slike utsagn var medvirkende til å psyke ned motstanderne heller...... Det han hadde var imidlertid en fantastisk shape på bicepsen, og det er tross alt en visuell sport, der mål i de fleste tilfeller er irrellevante.
For ordens skyld her et utdraget fra intervjuet med Sergio:
"Brian D.Johnson: I believe you may be the only person to officially develop a muscular arm with a height (from the top of the biceps to the bottom of the triceps) greater than the height of one's head. Did this phenomenon occur while training with Jones?
Sergio Oliva: This occurred with Jones, around the time of the 1972 Mr. Olympia in Essen, Germany. You see, Jones tricked everybody. He would invite them down and pay for the trip to test his machines. Everyone went down... Columbu, Arnold, Zane... everybody. And as soon as you arrived he would start measuring your arms cold, then he would tell you how much you can increase in a couple of days, and nobody would believe it. All those Weider magazines claiming 21-22" arms would have everyone coming down to 18-19"... and the only 20.5" cold was my arm. After going through his workouts, my arm was almost an inch bigger, and that happened for everybody. Arnold's arm was 19.75", and Weider had him in the magazines with 22.5". It was ridiculous -- all their measurements came down when Jones measured them. It was during that time that Jones measured my arms and my head, and I couldn't believe that my arms were bigger than my head... I didn't pay attention up to that point."
