"To give you an idea of just how big Hoeberl's arm is, picture an
average bodybuilder's thigh. Wrap a shirtsleeve around it, and that's
the size of Manfred's arm!"
"I'm presently eating 6,000-8,000 calories per day. I
have a very fast metabolism and if my caloric intake drops below
6,000, I start losing size."
"I eat a lot of carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein. I do try
to keep my fat intake low, however, I like hamburgers, fries and a
good cake occasionally. I basically eat whatever I want. I don't think
it's good for the body to have rice, potatoes and chicken all the time.
Your body becomes so sensitive to other foods that you can't really
enjoy all the wonderful foods that are available."
"...Manfred was asked to hit a double biceps pose. He did and, when
he did, I noticed that the width of his arm exceeded the length
of our heads - this was a big, big arm!"
"I've got to be honest: I've seen up close just how big the biggest of the
pros' arms are. Mike Matarazzo and Paul Dillett's arms were the
biggest on the scene - until Manfred Hoeberl visited the States. The
German giant's arms dwarf Mike's and Paul's most pumped-up guns
by over 2 inches - cold!"
