Ramon Dino Measures Massive 17-Inch Forearms Ahead of Olympia Push, as Fans Marvel at One of Bodybuilding’s Best Arms
Reigning Classic Physique Olympia Champion Ramon Dino has given fans an official answer to one of the most talked-about questions in bodybuilding. In a recent YouTube video, Dino measured his massive 17- inch forearms for confirmation – stressing that was just “before the pump.”
For years, Dino’s forearms have been one of his most recognizable body parts. The Brazilian standout has built a reputation for combining a tiny waist, wide clavicles, and some of the most dominant arm development in the Classic Physique division. Now fans finally have an official measurement to go along with the visual evidence.
Ramon Dino’s Forearm Measurement
According to the video:
- Forearm size (no pump): 17 inches (42 cm)
- Estimated forearm size (with pump): 18 inches (46 cm)
- Measurement was taken casually rather than immediately after training
As the tape wrapped around his forearm, Dino joked that the pumped measurement would likely be even larger after a workout.
“17 inches… normal. 42 cm. Pump should be around 46, I think.”
Why Ramon Dino’s Forearms Stand Out
While many bodybuilders focus on building bigger biceps and triceps, forearm development is often a weak point. Dino is an exception.
A pair of forearms haven’t gotten this much attention since Popeye. Dino’s forearms have become so legendary that bodybuilding fans regularly compare them to some of the most famous forearms in the sport’s history. Social media posts discussing Dino’s arm size have circulated for years, with measurements around the 17-to-17.5-inch range often cited by fans and bodybuilding media.
Part of what makes Dino’s forearms so impressive is how they fit within the Classic Physique aesthetic. Rather than looking oversized or out of proportion, they complement his overall structure and help create the dense, complete look that has made him one of the division’s biggest stars.
Ramon Dino Looking to Defend the Olympia Crown
Dino remains one of the top contenders in Classic Physique and continues to chase another Olympia title. Despite fierce competition at the top of the division, the Brazilian standout remains a fan favorite thanks to his combination of shape, conditioning, and eye-catching muscle bellies.
And if there was ever any doubt about the size of those famous forearms, the tape measure has now settled the debate.
