    People are always saying how fighters of yesteryear would have been too small and weak to beat today`s super heavies but this pic shows Dempsey`s arms might have been quite big and muscular, does anybody have stats on Dempsey`s bicep size?

    They mean the height and weight of the modern fighters, also any heavyweight world champion had big biceps

    Yeah, for a 240 6’5 heavyweight, but in comparison to your average person, they looked big to me

    Pendlay rows + pullups + bicep curls are the best way to make your biceps as big as possible.
