Hulk Hogan is popularly known by his moniker ‘Hulkamania’. And we couldn’t agree more. Because one peek at Hogan’s prime body is enough to clear all doubts about this. Hogan is well aware of this and never misses an opportunity to flex his biceps aka ‘pythons’.
Hogan’s 6ft 7inches frame is enough to intimidate an average person. On top of all this, the Hulkster weighed about 300lbs. It does not come as a surprise that maintaining all this took a lot of effort. Hogan lifted almost twice as much as his bodyweight — which reveals a lot!

When I said that Hogan does not shy away from showing his guns I was not joking. Talk show host Johnny Carson was amazed when he saw Hogan’s body and hilariously interjected — “I’m looking at the size of your arms… I wish I had anything that big!”. Hogan had reserved a witty comeback for such occasions, “How about your bank account?” he said.
Carson then asked Hogan to flex his biceps and asked about it’s measurement. An impressive 24 inches was the Hulkster’s reply! That was definitely incredible.
Carson got back by saying, “Some women’s waists are 24 inches — aren’t they, right?”

This does not end here, of course. All this muscle is not just for show as Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone revealed in an Instagram post a few years ago.
