A man has the largest hands in the world. The largest hands in the world - description, features and interesting facts. From the Guinness Book of Records

Due to the great attention that one of the residents of our country named Kirill Tereshin received, people became interested in who has the most big hands in the world? Let's try to understand this issue, and at the same time find out how safe it is to get carried away with increasing volumes with the help of chemistry.

Worthy of a record!

On this moment has the largest hands in the world, a man named Hussein Bisad. It's hard to believe, but the length of his palms is 26.9 cm. In April 2007, representatives of the Guinness Book of Records came to the UK to measure and record this fact. Hussein himself turned out to be a cordial and cheerful person, which immediately endeared him to editor-in-chief Craig. The record was recorded, and Bisad received due attention to his person. To have the biggest hands in the world and at the same time turn out to be a mischievous and cheerful guy - what could be more interesting for fans of this record holder? American arm wrestler Jeff Dabe is not far behind Hussein. The size of his palm can be judged from the photo. An impressive sight!

Sports and more

If we talk about arm volumes, then undoubtedly, first of all, everyone thinks of bodybuilders. You can argue for a long time whether it is beautiful or not, but it is pointless to argue with the fact that this is a huge amount of work. Despite a lot of stereotypes, these people deserve great respect, as proof of which we present a list of truly outstanding athletes who will make many of you change your mind. You will also find out who has the largest arm volume in the world!

Jean Pierre Fuchs

The bodybuilder from Switzerland began training at the age of 16. A year later, he noticed that he was quite different from his peers - his weight had already reached 100 kilograms. In 1993, he took part in the amateur world bodybuilding championship, where he took fourth place. The following year he again performed in front of the judges and took the championship title.

The guy began his career growth - he began to appear on the covers of magazines and received a lot of lucrative offers from a variety of companies. But a tragic incident broke all his plans - one day during training, he unsuccessfully lifted a weight of 310 kg and fell, breaking his leg. A difficult recovery process followed, but the young man was unable to return to his previous loads. For another 4 years he participated in various competitions, proving to the whole world his fortitude and perseverance.

Nasser El Sonbati

The German athlete was not interested in bodybuilding - in adolescence he was not interested. During his student years, curiosity led Nasser to gym. He emerged from there as one of the most famous strongmen on the planet.

The guy showed a real natural inclination towards bodybuilding - his muscles grew very quickly. The athlete demonstrated results that other athletes had been achieving for years a few months later. The first competitions in Germany did not bring him fame. Not wanting to give up, the young man went to Yugoslavia, where his forms were appreciated - he became a real star. Nasser could boast not only of muscle mass - he had several academic degrees in history, political science and sociology. He was fluent in seven languages. The athlete died early - at the age of 47 he died from kidney failure.

Paul Dillet

The former football player began to create relief for his forms from his youth. At the age of 26, he tried to take first place in competitions in North America, but that year luck did not smile on Paul. He took the risk of performing next championship and conquered all the judges. The unconditional victory and triumph of the bodybuilder became the most significant event in his life. The surprising thing is that the athlete developed his own training system, which was based on a scientific approach. He approached the iron while in a state of passion, which contributed to a sharp surge of adrenaline in the blood. This is how he achieved his excellent results.

These were the most significant figures with the largest arms in the world of bodybuilding in the last century. Now these volumes will not surprise anyone, but their names are worth knowing, if only because they achieved such results through training. Now let's look at the current heroes, whose merits are highly questionable.

Blood and sweat

Yes, we will talk about anabolic steroids. After all, looking at Denis Sester, it is simply impossible to believe that such results can only be achieved through physical training. The volume of his biceps is 77.8 cm. This is an absolute world record, and he can safely be awarded a medal for “The Biggest Arms in the World.” Interesting fact - Denis was a follower of the previous record holder named Grego Valentino. The teacher's result was more modest - 71 cm. At the age of 23, he already had a volume of 53 cm, but this seemed not enough to him. He began to increase his biceps through anabolic steroids and other chemicals. The payback was not long in coming - liver cancer. Denis followed in his footsteps, as evidenced by his completely unnatural shape of his hands. It can deservedly be called the largest “synthol” hands in the world.

Impressive results of modern heroes

For those who were unable to achieve such high results, like the two previously voiced characters, there will also be a couple of lines in the article. They could not overtake, but came very close to the champion's volumes.

Canadian athlete Greg Kovacs - 67 cm.
Two-meter bodybuilder Noech Steer - 66 cm.
Briton Zak Khan - 61 cm.
Lithuanian athlete Robert Burneika - 61 cm.
Phil Heath and Lee Priest - 56 cm.
Wrestler Robert Swenson and Manfred Heberl - 63 cm.

There is never too much Synthol

In order to talk about the safety of Synthol, it is worth knowing what it consists of. Until now, no one knows the real formula of this substance, and everyone who makes it themselves risks being left not only without results, but also without hands. The approximate composition of "Synthol" is 85% oil (sesame or coconut, 7.5% lidocaine, 7.5% benzyl alcohol. How safe can such an explosive mixture be? If Western "strongmen" give injections in a clinic or after consultation with an experienced doctor , then Russian “heroes” brew synthol at home and inject liters of it.

Bazooka hands, or How to become Bezrukov in the literal sense of the word

Such Internet heroes evoke only two reactions in adequate people - bewilderment and disgust. The skinny Pyatigorsk guy has already managed to pour several liters into his hands and is not going to stop there. He makes the drug at home and even manages to sell it to not entirely intelligent people like him. It is impossible to look at this man without tears. Moreover, these are tears of pity not for him, but rather for his mother. A poor woman goes on TV shows with her son in the hope of restoring his sanity.

The doctors are literally screaming that he will soon lose both arms, but the sintholist does not take their word for it, because there are no precedents! The guy should have learned more about the substance itself and those who have already suffered from its use. For anyone considering this, the possible consequences are listed below.

Risk of nerve damage and limb paralysis.
Risk of infection.
Numbness of the limbs due to compression of blood vessels by Synthol.
Oil entering the bloodstream and, as a result, vascular embolism.
Swelling at the injection site.
Development of an allergic reaction.

Today we published photos of a girl with very beautiful, but incredibly long legs. What else can surprise us with the human body? Let's look at people who are included in the Guinness Book of Records due to their anatomical or other features related to appearance.

Ideal body proportions

The figures of ancient athletes are rightfully considered an example of ideal body proportions. The Roman architect Vitruvius worked on the formula of harmonious proportions in ancient times, believing that the figure of a person with arms spread to the sides and legs apart should fit into both a circle and a square. The side of this square is equal to the height of a person and the span of his arms. Later, in the 15th century, the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci supplemented the concept of harmonious body proportions with his research.

Index good health

The dimensions and proportions of the human figure are not always ideal. They are genetically predetermined and can change throughout life under the influence physical activity or illnesses. Proportional build is not only beautiful - it is an indicator of good health. The endocrine gland, the pituitary gland, is responsible for human growth in the body. Violations in its work lead to such a phenomenon as gigantism. All people of excessive stature have had one or another problem with this gland.

Resident of Ukraine Leonid Stadnik

US resident Robert Wadlow had the longest arms and the highest height in the history of mankind. IN last time its parameters were measured in 1940. By this time, his height reached 2.72 m, and his arm span was 2.88 m. By an absurd accident, he died the same year from sepsis, having rubbed his leg with a crutch. Our contemporary, a resident of Ukraine, Leonid Stadnik, was slightly behind Wadlow in body size. He was listed in the Guinness Book of Records twice - as the owner of the longest palm - 31 cm (the norm is 24 cm), and as the owner of the tallest height in the world - 2.59 m.

Modern giants

Leonid's rapid growth began in adolescence, when the pituitary gland was damaged during surgery to remove a tumor. In 2008, Stadnik refused to confirm his record according to Guinness standards due to the tedious measurement procedure. Due to his refusal, the giant Sultan Kosen, a farmer from Turkey, is now considered the owner of the longest arms, according to the Guinness Book. Today his parameters are: height 2.46 m, arm span – 2.75 m.

Making ratings is a delicate and thankless task. What algorithm is used to determine the most beautiful woman in the world, or the most fashionable outfit, or the most interesting book? As they say, how many people, so many opinions. But mathematics is the queen of sciences, so it’s hard to argue with some ratings. The ruler will help you figure out who has the biggest nose in the world or the smallest feet. The difficulty is that today there are almost 7.5 billion people living in the world, it’s impossible to measure them all... But still, let’s try to figure out who has the longest arms in the world.

From the Guinness Book of Records

In 2010, the Guinness Book of Records recorded that Sultan Kosen has the longest arms today – 27.5 cm. In addition, the former Turkish basketball player is also the tallest man in the world.

Until the age of 10, the young man was an ordinary child. But then, as a result of brain surgery (Sultan had a tumor removed), the pituitary gland was affected, which led to disruption of its functioning. The boy began to grow literally before our eyes. At the age of 26, his height was 246.5 cm. The main thing that upsets young man, inability to start relationships with girls. Well, yes, any girl is unlikely to reach him above the waist, besides, Sultan Kosen probably not only has the longest arms in the world...

Before Sultan, the record holder for arm length and height was the Ukrainian lad Leonid Stadnik. The reason is still the same - disturbances in the functioning of the pituitary gland. His height was 257 cm, and his palm length was 31 cm. But these records were not officially registered, because Leonid Stadnik refused official measurements and asked for peace and quiet.

For reference: the pituitary gland is a brain appendage that produces growth hormones. Its dimensions on average are 1.3 * 0.6 * 1.0 cm, and it weighs only half a gram. This is such a tiny but important organ.

Let's look back in time

In the last century, the American Robert Wadlow (1918-1940) had the longest arms. His arm span was 288 cm, and his palm length was 32.4 cm.

The record holder's story is not very funny. Even at the age of 3 he was an ordinary boy, but at the age of 4 he suddenly began to grow very quickly. So quickly that already at the age of 8 his height reached 190 cm, and after 2 years he stretched to 198 cm and weighed 100 kg. Doctors did not delay the diagnosis for long and immediately determined that the boy had a rare disease of the pituitary gland, the part of the brain responsible for growth.

After graduating from school, the American Gulliver (in the land of Lilliputians) entered the university. He still continued to grow. By this time, his height was 263 cm and his weight was 223 kg! Therefore, Robert began to be called the tallest man in the world.

He performed in the circus. The room was very simple. The giant simply went on stage and measured his height with the audience. The tallest ones barely reached his waist. He also easily picked up grown men and women like toys. With this number he visited every state and became an American celebrity.

He died very young, at 22, from sepsis. The fact is that due to his enormous weight, Robert Wadlow experienced difficulty walking. He had to lean on a crutch. While speaking on US Independence Day in the city of Manistee, he rubbed his leg with a crutch, which caused severe inflammation with a fatal outcome.

A lot of people gathered for the funeral of this amazing American. His 500-kilogram coffin was carried by 12 people (6 on each side).

As popular wisdom says: “He has long arms”...

The expression “long arms” should not always be taken literally. In a figurative sense, this means that the person about whom they say this is very influential. The word of this person has enormous weight, millions listen to it (and the CIA is also keeping an eye on it). Is there such a person in the world?

According to Forbes magazine, this is Russian President Vladimir Putin. This is not surprising considering that he is at the helm of the largest country in the world. Countries with the largest human resources, with the largest nuclear potential, with truly inexhaustible natural resources - land, forests, water, with gigantic reserves of minerals, including hydrocarbons. With his political will he changes the course of history.

In second place after Vladimir Vladimirovich is US President Barack Obama, and Angela Merkel has descended even lower.

The top ten most influential people in the world also included computer geniuses Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft, and Lawrence Page, developer of the Google search engine. At the same time, they are called the “longest arms,” in other words, the most influential people in the computer world. It is surprising that Mark Zuckerberg, who invented Facebook, was not included in any ranking of the most influential people on the planet, but he topped the list of the youngest billionaires in the world, which is also very honorable...

Fakes

This photo clearly shows that Justin Timberlake has the longest arms in the world. It’s necessary to hug two people by the shoulders with each arm at once! I wonder if this photo is random or a lucky draw?

But this photo was taken by accident at the 2006 FIFA World Cup during Australia's game against Japan. It clearly shows that number 13 Mark Viduka, who was a striker in the Australian team, has a very long right arm, without a doubt the longest arm in the world.

The successful photo immediately became very popular on the Internet and literally spread throughout the world. in social networks.

In literature

"Richard Long arms" is a cycle of 50 books written over 14 years by Yuri Nikitin under the pseudonym Guy Julius Orlovsky (thank you, it’s not Caesar). The author worked on adventure books in the fantasy style from 2001 to 2014 inclusive. Events develop in parallel world. Main character Richard, a computer scientist, finds himself by some miracle in the Middle Ages, and here adventures begin that neither Captain Vrungel, nor Captain Richard Blade, nor even Munchausen ever dreamed of.

It must be said that Nikitin is a famous writer in the genre of science fiction, historical novels, and action-packed action films. His works are popular without any promotion. But with the “Richard Long Arms” cycle, not everything is clear. Most of the reviews from those who bought the books are extremely negative. Readers are screaming about fakes, calling for fairness from the publisher and asking for the return of wasted money.

No, this is not Photoshop, as you might think (and that’s what I thought at first). 24-year-old Egyptian Mustafa Ismail was included in the 2013 Guinness Book of Records as the owner of the largest biceps in the world, reports the Huffington Post. The diameter of his arm is 78.74 centimeters - almost the same as the waist circumference of an adult. Mustafa says that at first he went to the gym just to stay in shape. However, after many began to admire his already well-developed biceps, he decided to concentrate all his efforts in this direction.

Five years ago, when the young man was not accepted into the Egyptian bodybuilding team, Mustafa and his family moved to the United States. In his new homeland, he continued to “pump iron,” especially since America has the most modern equipment for this. Together with his wife Caroline, the Egyptian settled in Massachusetts. Now he has his own home and two gas stations here, where he works in his free time from training.

How did he manage to do this?

The Egyptian bodybuilder's arm circumference from shoulder to elbow is almost 79 centimeters. He lifts a weight of 226 kilograms on his biceps.
