Top guns: the 40 best arms of all time and the workouts that built them.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Even in his teenage years, the future winner of seven Mr. Olympia contests had fantastic arms, and many contend that the biceps standards he set at his peak in the '70s have yet to be superseded. Schwarzenegger's right biceps, especially, reminded one of a mountain in the Alps of his native Austria. A typical biceps routine consisted of barbell curls, incline dumbbell curls, concentration curls and standing alternate dumbbell curls.
FORMIDABLE FOREARMS
"The reason I was able to devastate the other champions is simple: I did not leave things to chance as they did. Forearm work was always as
important to me as, say, biceps or calf work. Usually, I worked forearms after biceps, though sometimes I did them after triceps, because the gripping involved in curls tired the forearms. My favorite forearm movements were reverse barbell curls and end-of-bench wrist curls."
--Arnold Schwarzenegger

VINCE TAYLOR
Taylor won more IFBB pro contests (22, including six masters events) than anyone except Ronnie Coleman. Two key reasons for Taylor's success were his right and left arms. At his peak in the early to mid-'90s, Taylor's upper limbs were nearly unmatched for their combination of shape, size and delineation.
HAMMER TIME
"I consider hammer curls an essential biceps movement. They build
the brachialis, the lower biceps, the tops of the forearms where they
blend into the elbows and, if you perform them my way, the belly and
peak of the biceps. When I perform hammer curls, I move the dumbbells
alternately, bringing one across my chest and trying to touch it to my
opposite shoulder. For each rep, I hold the weight in that top position
and tense my biceps hard."
--Vince Taylor

Barbell curls 5 6-12
Seated dumbbell curls 5 10-12
Hammer curls 5 10-12

KAL SZKALAK
Of Hungarian birth, Szkalak won his adopted country's 1976 Mr. America title at only 23 and the Mr. Universe the following year, only to prematurely quit the IFBB after finishing fifth in the '78 Mr. Olympia. If the Mr. O was judged on upper-body muscle only, Szkalak would've won at least one Sandow. The arms he sported then--superabundant and yet freakily peaked--still rank as two of the best ever.
ARMY INTELLIGENCE
"The mind-to-muscle connection is the key to great arms. More than any
other bodypart, you can easily watch your biceps moving with each rep,
and with a simple hinge joint, you can focus on getting a maximum
stretch and contraction. Make the reps harder, not easier."
--Kal Szkalak

KAL SZKALAK'S BICEPS ROUTINE

Incline dumbbell curls 5 8-10
Barbell preacher curls 5 8
Machine curls 5 12
Cable concentration curls 5 12
Reverse curls 5 12
FLEX WHEELER
The winner of 17 pro bodybuilding contests between 1993 and 2001, Flex Wheeler also finished second in the Mr. Olympia three times. Known for his symmetry and flowing lines, his upper arms were so abundantly curved that they looked like bowling balls beneath his equally circular delts.
