Manfred Hoeberl
Manfred Hoeberl (German: [ˈmanfrɛt ˈhøːbɐl]; born 12 May 1964) is an Austrian former strongman, powerlifter and bodybuilder. He was famous for having the largest muscular arms in the world during early to mid 1990s.
Having competed in 18 International strongman competitions and winning 6 of them, Hoeberl is among the 50 most decorated strongmen of all time. He also participated in numerous Highland games. He was born in the same town as bodybuilding legend and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Hoeberl won the Europe's Strongest Man twice (1993, 1994), the World Muscle Power Classic twice (1993, 1994) and was runner up at the 1994 World's Strongest Man competition, narrowly missing the title to Magnús Ver Magnússon by 0.87 seconds in the final Atlas Stones event. Hoeberl competed in the World's Strongest Man finals in 1991 and 1993, finishing 8th and 4th respectively.
Hoeberl won Austria's Strongest Man 7 times, from 1989-1994 & 1996.
In the early 1990s Hoeberl claimed to have the largest arms in the world. At the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, bodybuilding journalist Joe Roark measured Hoeberl's upper arm to be 25.75 inches (65.4 cm) cold. Right after Hoeberl curled a 150 lb. dumbbell for several reps and was re-measured at 26 inches (66 cm) pumped. After the measurement Roark claimed Hoeberl was the first man in history to have an upper arm girth three times the size of his wrist circumference.
Shortly after this, Hoeberl co-wrote his first book 10 Minutes to Massive Arms.
Hoeberl was officially certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper in 1997 and was famous for his world class grip strength.
