"...Sergio’s arms are so big that they literally must be seen to be appreciated -- and some people, upon first seeing them, are almost unable to believe their eyes. In a recent full-length picture of Sergio, the width of the flexed upper arms exceeded the height of Sergio’s head -- his arms were literally larger than his head, a size ratio never before approached by anybody else.

Is that, then the "Ultimate Physique?" For most people, it is far beyond the limits imposed by individual potential; but it is almost certain that somebody will eventually exceed even Sergio's present size and proportions. I recently measured the "cold" upper arm of a 19 year old boy in New York at 19 1/2 inches, and with continued training this boy can almost certainly exceed Sergio’s measurements -- but he is at least six inches taller than Sergio, so even with Sergio’s measurements he would not have Sergio's almost unbelievable proportions, would not give the "impression of size" that Sergio does.

I am reasonably certain that Sergio could attain even more size with continued training -- while maintaining or improving his present degree of muscularity (muscular definition), and if so, then his proportions would be almost unreal. But in the meantime, until he does get larger, or until somebody at least matches his present proportions, Sergio certainly does represent the "Ultimate Physique".

The Nautilus Pullover

The Most Productive Machine in the History of Exercise

"The most advanced, the most productive, and the most popular type of readily available Nautilus System machines, the Pullover-type Torso Machines provide all the revolutionary features incorporated in any of the other types of Nautilus Machines -- and these principles are applied to the largest muscular mass in the torso.

While the appliation of these same principles will produce an equal "degree" of results with any muscular structure, the actual "amount" of results will obviously be limited by the maximum potential size of the particulat musculature structure being worked; and since the Pullover-type machines involve the margest muscular structures of the torso, overall results will obviously be greater."
