Counting down the most tri-mendous triceps of all time - we're talking sweeping muscle bellies and horseshoes galore! Don't forget to follow me on Instagram: / tomn8er1
Bodyl structure wise he's very similar to me which makes him my all-time favortie. I'm still confident he will one day win the grandest show of them all!
Roelly might have the best arms ever. Easily the best triceps, probably top 3 forearms, and though his biceps aren’t super peaky or defined, they’re quite huge and have lokg insertions
@@stugamerzone8076 Comparing as is, arm game Roelly vs Lee Priest is no competition. The only shot Lee can take him from is fdb due to better definition. Roelly kills him in the triceps no doubt. Lee is closer to Phil in the tricep war. Lee's arm may appear gigantic, but its relative to his body. And he is quite narrow. While we all know Roelly is one of the widest mass monster for a man of his height. Roelly's arm appear huge in the MM, SC, BDB, 3/4 Arnold shot, and the so called who-haa pose (after the SC and essentially Roelly's ST). I don't think LP stand a chance
@@Antoniooooooooooooooo i mean the shape and definition. Size roelly has crazy triceps but his front double is puffy. I like Lee priest arms the best but obviously they wasn't a wow factor like roellys triceps. Just meant overall vl
Dorian's strength in the side triceps comes from somehow managing to show nearly the entire tricep without hiding the bicep. It's like someone took pictures from every angle and stitched them together, no wonder his arms look so much better than they do in other poses
@@ssoldadog7 I believe it was in the video on the most aesthetic bodybuilders of all time that he interposed Branch Warren at the end before giving his Top Choice. That was classic.
In the late 90s, there were photoshoots of that moron in flex magazine. I can't remember the topic but it was probably about how he had built his amazing triceps... People talk about the 90s as the modern golden era of bodybuilding but it was actually the start of the BS : synthol, implants, gh/insulin guts, loss of definition and separation...etc The golden era ended in 1994-95 in my opinion.
Bloody brilliant, I know there are other channels that have done this, just like you stated at the conception of this series, really really looking forward to hearing your take on the topic, love it my friend thank you
Sergio Oliva, ai giorni nostri e con "le possibilità" odierne, non solo avrebbe le migliori braccia di sempre ma , probabilmente, sarebbe il migliore bb di tutti I tempi. Aveva una genetica impressionante!
@@jordandangelo180 it's not a great joke though because some of those guys actually had decently good triceps. Flex for sure, but even Kai and Ronnie had a lot of detail on theirs and a ton of sweep
I think Munzer should be in top 10, maybe not for size. But you can't deny his triceps were probably the most defined, feathered, striated set of triceps ever. His conditioning was actually worrying.
Awesome list brother, good job. Some of these pics are quite rare. Lee Labrada and Jusup Wilkosz also had some very good triceps. I put them above some of the earlier guys.
Nearly had a heart attack when you didn't say Roelly at 1. I was like "Okay, he's NOT your number 1 ... but he doesn't even make your top 10 !!!!!??? "
I remember one of my first times looking at Flex magazine in the early 2000s and seeing Ernie Taylor. I was in like 6th grade or so, didn't workout, didn't know anything about bodybuilding, and certainly didn't know anything about site enhancement oils. I was so confused on how Ernie Taylor had these bulging triceps, lol! Are you going to do any Arnold Classic predictions? Or just a post show commentary? Always look forward to your videos. Appreciate your efforts.
I don't plan on competing and time soon but I honestly really want to learn how to pose half as good as Mark Makoway (I know that butchered the spelling of his last name) and Shawn Ray because it's honestly just so elegant and aesthetic.
Love these 'individual part' series u got going💯👍.. Ps Dorians tri's in his pose look like a fancy battering ram he could've placed a bit high tho 💁♂️
I respect your opinion, however, i believe flex wheeler is painfully underrated! Most graceful , poetic, mystical, and sophisticated muscular stature of all. He had near flawless symmetry and proportion on every body part including triceps! I'm no expert so I'll look again but to me it seems like he's always overlooked.
Tracey Hopkins Not really A lot BB fans regarded him as the most aesthetic BB of all time although I think different, Shawn Ray imo is more underrated and overlook for his short stature but has one of the most complete, conditioned, consistent, and graceful physique to ever competed
I'm not understanding your comment. I was literally responding to the video. Unless, you're speaking for him or you are him to say "not really" . I said NOTHING about Shawn Ray. You can make a case he was underrated as well. That would be significant if, in fact, I was talking about Shawn Ray. You're already forming a biased view bc you are perhaps a fan of him. I'm not understanding the purpose of your comment. Please enlighten me...
One day my friends and me were arguing about what to chose between biceps and triceps. They took the side of triceps and me the one of biceps, and after training I found the way of triceps more huge . But I'm keeping doing biceps cause that feeling is nice 🌝
Could you do a video focusing on muscle length or insertions or whatever you want to call them? People talk about biceps tendon length from the elbow, but what about from the shoulder? Phil and Roelly seem to have forearm muscles that go halfway up the upper arm. Dorian's calves vs Cedric's?
Yeah i totally agree that roelly winklaar deserves to be at the top..his triceps are incredibly insane..he's got the thickness and the definition..👍👍👍👍
Great video. Wonderful analysis, Tomn8er. Intelligent and straight-to-the-point. Looking forward to watching your analysis of most greatest muscle groups of all time. thank you.

What's interesting about this list, and the honourable mentions, is the number of bodybuilders who have great triceps but who have comparatively weak backs. Roelly Winklaar, Gary Strydom, Kevin Levrone, Lee Priest, Paul Dillett, Paul De Mayo, Bertil Fox. Dorian Yates and Phil Heath are notable exceptions but I understand Phil's back was once a weak point in his early days.
Vince Taylor could also be in the Top 10. There was a bodybuilder in the 90s with an Italian surname... Quite popular in magazines. Too bad I do not remember his name... massive triceps!!
@@Tomn8er Nope. I know all the big names. I have hundreds of magazines from the 80s and 90s. This was a guy only known by his triceps. If my memory does not betray me I remember an article were this bodybuilder was in some of the pictures on a horse.
And number one is... Ernie Ta.. WTF! oooh you got me there X) That's the first time I hear about him, that is why the trick worked on me heh. Roelly - Mr Tricep no doubt
Without a doubt Winklaar hands down has the best tricep development I've seen. Even his forearms are beyond what any genetic freak can achieve.
Justin Y is a joke to this guy
True
Besides flex lewis’ forearms
Bodyl structure wise he's very similar to me which makes him my all-time favortie. I'm still confident he will one day win the grandest show of them all!
Winklaar is the definition of this era. Freak
18:31 back double triceps
Should be a new mandatory lmao
Roelly might have the best arms ever. Easily the best triceps, probably top 3 forearms, and though his biceps aren’t super peaky or defined, they’re quite huge and have lokg insertions

Ernie taylor
The tricep anatomy is incredibly beautiful
“Quadzilla, but they should have called him TRIzilla.” I would have gone with “TRIceratops”, personally.
Triceratraps
Broooo you really had me heated with that fake number 1 spot 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Same here
I'm calling dibs on Roelly being first! And Kevin a close second!
I was SO MAD when u didn’t say Roelly Winklaar LMAOOOO u got my ass
U weren't the only one bro
I had to pause the video to laugh at myself for a moment
Oussama Berrada Tom always trollin us 😂😭
I would also put Roelly on top of the overall best guns in history list
Well Markus Ruhl won't be in this video, that's for sure lol
Lol yeah, like 80% bicep
I thought he had this
Or hadi choopan, or shawn rhoden
@@alemarioluiginator Recent Big Ramy, Kai Greene, Lee Haney, Iain Valliere
Keep up the good work man, the best bodybuilding channel on youtube hands down, quality content. I rewatch every video of yours a few times
Dorian's strength in the side triceps comes from somehow managing to show nearly the entire tricep without hiding the bicep. It's like someone took pictures from every angle and stitched them together, no wonder his arms look so much better than they do in other poses
Should've included Mike Mentzer
Ernie Taylor lol. I was waiting for that meme
For me the best meme was paul dilett in the best poser of all time video

Tom man you must have forgotten Shawn Rhoden..
Aaron Rey I hope this is a joke 😂
Holy fuck XD
Nobody hits the pancake tricep pose like him👌
Hahahahahah xD idk man when u hv a good pair of triceps, u hv thick forearms..for rhoden hes lack triceps and forearms as well lol
Even Shaw forgot his tris lol.
Can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel Tom keep up the good work
Couldn't agree more with your number 1. Winklaar's triceps are insane!
4:30 Chris Bumstead’s Dad?
Lol yeah
Thank you. Lee preist, l was hoping youd bring and thats the photo.!!!😎
Ronny has two croissants in lieu of triceps
Lmao
I'm loving these vids, I don't agree with you 100% on everything but they are fun and interesting to watch, looking forward to more. :)
Thanks that's the point! It's way too subjective for us all to agree so that's perfectly fine 👍🏻
The feathering and size of Roelly's long tricep head on the thumbnail pic is mind boggling. Never seen that on any other bodybuilder
Another instant classic.
Big donk a dong
This video's top 3 is absolutely on point, well done!
Bloody brilliant, I know there are other channels that have done this, just like you stated at the conception of this series, really really looking forward to hearing your take on the topic, love it my friend thank you
loving your series and all your honest expressions, keep it lit
Perfect timing! Love your channel and love this series, great job!
Bill Pearl is definitely top 10 all time.....at least he got a honorable mention
really enjoying this latest series of videos man, entertaining and educational.
Sergio Oliva, ai giorni nostri e con "le possibilità" odierne, non solo avrebbe le migliori braccia di sempre ma , probabilmente, sarebbe il migliore bb di tutti I tempi. Aveva una genetica impressionante!
Great post! I 100% agree on Winkler being number one. Especially after seeing the photos. 👍👍👍
Minarik is a bb legend in my city. My dad used to know him back in the day.
I really appreciate your videos mate, this is the bodybuilding content we all seek. Nick’s strength and social media bullshit is long gone for me
A bit pointless and toxic being against someone for doing their job. You do you I guess
The shot of Sergio Oliva is from DeLand Florida, circa 1971.
Notice how basically all of them have great forearms aswell?
amazing unboxing but all with mediocre biceps tho
Mechanic Orange not all mane
Mechanic Orange priest dexter etc had great biceps
@@M.J.D.R phil medicore forarms?
king ryuga I said biceps
Excellent video! Rolley is the correct #1 for this list!
Very good analysis.
THank you
Cheers from Sydney, Australia!
Winklaar's single arm is as thick as both of my thighs. Insane.
1.) Kai Greene
2.) Shawn Rhoden
3.) Ronnie Coleman
4.) Arnold Schwarzenegger
5.) Ernie Taylor
6.) Flex Wheeler
7.) Dennis Wolf
8.) Markus Ruhl
No
Either a bad troll or you're on crack. Rhoden doesn't even have a tricep
Brian Avery it’s a joke. He’s ranking the worst triceps obviously 🙄
@@jordandangelo180 it's not a great joke though because some of those guys actually had decently good triceps. Flex for sure, but even Kai and Ronnie had a lot of detail on theirs and a ton of sweep
@@jordandangelo180 Ronnie, Flex and Ruhl on a worst triceps list? I dont get the joke...
Back double bi also shows off the tricep very nicely too
Ronnie had some great horse show triceps back in his early years
Roelly has great arms , and I'm a critic. Your videos are good and your comnentry too, tomn8er.
I think Munzer should be in top 10, maybe not for size. But you can't deny his triceps were probably the most defined, feathered, striated set of triceps ever. His conditioning was actually worrying.
Yeah he could be on here or an HM anyway
Nice video and nice choice but for my opinion miss Mike Mentzer the shape like ironhorse on triceps was amazing
Awesome list brother, good job. Some of these pics are quite rare. Lee Labrada and Jusup Wilkosz also had some very good triceps. I put them above some of the earlier guys.
The shot of Winklaar in the thumbnail is insane
8:42 Denzel Washington! He’s prepping for Equalizer 3.
Awesome video tm8tr I truly enjoyed it brother!
Been waiting a minute for your videos man
Roellys triceps are Just the next level compared to the rest imo
Nearly had a heart attack when you didn't say Roelly at 1.
I was like "Okay, he's NOT your number 1 ... but he doesn't even make your top 10 !!!!!??? "
I knew roelly winklaar would come frst💪💪
Great video man. I think this could be the least controversial top 10 yet.
Roelly damn from the rear. Who else could do that?

Always look forward to your videos. Appreciate your efforts.
6:53 - Mohamed Makkawy has some god damn serious forearms. Wonder if we will be seeing him in a future forearms list.
11.45 Dexter's not too shabby either.
@@markwood9987 - 13:45* Certainly not as monstrous as Makkawy. It's like he's just got a whole load of tendon thickness and shit going on.
Hey now.. I seldom agree with these type of videos, but you sir are spot on here.. imo 👍🏾
Martinez and zane had insane triceps
kevin levrone & flex wheeler for sure
0:26 ofc you go with the hands down, that's how you flex them
I don't plan on competing and time soon but I honestly really want to learn how to pose half as good as Mark Makoway (I know that butchered the spelling of his last name) and Shawn Ray because it's honestly just so elegant and aesthetic.
You ,mean Muhammed makkaway?
Another awesome video uncle Tom.
If the Biceps selection penalized asymmetrical muscles, the triceps selection should hold the same standard.
Love these 'individual part' series u got going💯👍..
Ps Dorians tri's in his pose look like a fancy battering ram he could've placed a bit high tho 💁♂️
Been checking your profile every day for the next part. Really like this series. Keep it up man!
I've always been amazed how little people follow your channel man, nick? What a joke compared, you are a truly fan of the sport...
8:47 Bertil’s arms are way ahead of the rest of his body lmao

Great call with Libor
Ur videos r hard to beat buddy, well done. Minnie documentary. Best pec delt tie in.
Except for 97, you could make a strong case that Dorian won every Mr. O competition.
God damn, Libor is basically the Tom Platz of triceps, as far as I know no one had proportionally bigger triceps
Great line up I'm thinking Andreas Munzer deserves an Honorable Mention somewhere.
True. Gary Strydom also good triceps
My top 4
Arm god Rolley Winkler , phil heath, lee priest and Kevin levrone
Dorian Yates may have only placed *9th* for Triceps.... but he ranks *#1* for bleach-blond mullet.
Roelly Winkalar
Another honorable mention; Cedric Mcmillan
Big Ron in the background of the Paul Demayo and Charles Clairemont pic

Nice video my man
When I was training, I always had good tri's compared to bi's. My biceps were nothing special but I had some really good triceps that were just there.
👏
It seems that you genetics favor triceps more than your biceps😊👌
Great list! Thanks brother
U forgot Shawn Rhoden
The Gift vs Roelly, the Gift wins because he can actually hit a side tricep!
