Hopefully Arnold will be an entertainer again with his new movies like Expendables 2, "The Last Stand" and also "The Tomb". They sure look more promising than the GARBAGE that was 6th Day and Collateral Damage.

Arnold needs to get through his thick skull is that we the moviegoing public DO NOT care much for him as an ACTOR. What we do like is to watch this steroid-crazed gorilla go beserk with all kinds of HUGE machine guns and automatic weapons and then ripping peoples arms and legs off all the while spewing one liners and looking cool in a tank top and showing off his own homegrown 20 inch "guns". But plz NO MORE "every man"!

Rob im confused with the 182-183cm range like for example you know im 6ft like arnie, when i convert my height onto a calculator 2.54 x 72 it comes up with 182.88 now i thought that is 5ft 11 1/2 or could it be another way of saying 183cm? hope this makes sense, Let me know if you have enough time
Editor Rob
183 is only 1mm above the 6ft line, 182cm on the nose is between the 5ft 11.5 and 11.75 mark so 182 covers both of those really.

Rob where is the general height and rob paul pages?
Editor Rob
Here is general, I will need to add back the link to the right column again, I took the rob/general ones away from the right column when comments were down.
Connor said on 8/Jun/12
Hey Rob, its been a long time, would you say that Arnie could be a few millimeters over 183cm like in Colletral Damage and in the Expendables he is a bit taller than Bruce Willlis
Editor Rob
Arnie today I still think is near enough 6 foot when he gets measured.

Hi Rob, how did you decide to restore comments?

To come back to Arnie... Muscles completely gone?
Lol! Look at these pics, he looks still in great shape.
To me, his arm's circumference it should be around 48 - 50 cms to judge by this pics:

Saw him in Florida in the 90's,I doubt he was ever 6'2". My guess now is 5'11"-6'0 now.

Shaun said on 10/Feb/12
Not sure Henrik, I thought it was 5'11". I'm not too well versed on what the current competitions are like but I do know that the old 60s and 70s competitions they used to have tall or short man competitions and then an overall winner. I'll have to look into it.

Arnie was in the tall man's category for bodybuilding. If he wasn't considered a tall man by the bodybuilding judges he wouldn't have made the tall man's category. He was what he claims, strong 6'1".

To me, Arnold was 187cm or a weak 6'2" in his prime. But doesn't the tall man's division in bodybuilding start at 5'9"?
1.85 m, 83 kg said on 9/Feb/12
tom234

The average man in the UK stands and 5'9", this is across all fully grown age groups and levels of fitness/health, so 6' is considered tall. The average man in the US stands at 5'9 1/2" so 6', I assume, would be borderline tall. If you don't feel tall in the UK, at 1.87 m, you aren't 1.87 m, or you have issues.

Tom234 that's rubbish, sorry mate. My GP himself told me I'm taller than 95% of the population and measured me on a stadio at 1 metre 87 and if you honestly don't feel tall at that height you really are not seeing things properly. Walk down any street or shopping mall and trust me you will mostly always feel quite a big guy. You do quite often see some guys around the same height and a few a bit taller if there are quite a lot of people about, probably more in universities who are six footers but you should feel noticeably above average in general public if you are a legit 187. 5'11" ish might be nearer average for the younger generation maybe, but at 6'1.5" you should still feel tall range. I've lost count of how many people claiming to be 6'1-6'2" on here and saying they're average or short! Its big, just not huge like 6'5" +.
HellBoundPower said on 9/Feb/12
Looking at that picture with Lou Ferrigno, Lou is closer to the camera than Arnold. I definitely don't see a 3 inch difference there. It's more like 2 inches. So if Lou is 6'4.5", Arnold is 6'2.5". Meaning that if Lou is 6'3" than Arnold is 6'1".

Tall man by British standards, maybe relatively tall in the US.

the average in both countries is around average. i am 187cm and do not feel any bit tall here in the uk. when i as 183cm i felt around average for my generation i am 18.

I think the gentleman below ment this old picture from 5 yrs back. I think christina has probably grown since then because she was 15 at the time and shoulder to shoulder with arnie, while she has flats on and him average trainers. The article quotes arnie as 6'2 there but his proportions don't obviously match but you be the judge once more...

How tall is christina schwarzenegger?

In the picture with Arnold and Ralf Möller I see about a 4 inch difference. The top of Arnold's head ends at his eyebrows. So that would put Arnold at 6'1".

Ralf I think was measured at 197cm peak 6'5.5". So that would make Arnie 6'1.5" which he was in his prime.

He was never measured at 6'5.5". He was listed at 6'6" to 6'8" in his bodybuilding days. NEVER 6'5.5".

Just watched Commando (1985) with Arnold and Rae Dawn Chong, she's listed as 5ft 8, and in the film she looks to be wearing 3 inches heels, possibly 4 inch? Lets assume she's wearing 3 inch heels, this makes her 5ft 11. Arnold looks to have 2 inches on her making him 6ft 1, but he's in boots. If the listing for Rae is 5ft 8 barefoot then arnold isn't the 6ft 1 he looks in the film because obviously you have to minus the footwear. Also most people judge the distance from the top of the head to eyebrows as 4 inches i belive, but in fact i have a distance of 3.25-3.5 inches which is what i've based the 2 inches arnold has on Rae in the film on. I'd go with 6ft barefoot in 1985.

Well I actually saw the Governator in 2011 while visiting California, It was a very brief encounter.
As I passed him on the sidewalk, and as we crossed paths I noticed that he was shorter than me, surprisingly! Not very much shorter, just a little bit.

Not going to try to guesstimate what his height was at the time, I'll just give you the facts.

-He was wearing regular loafer style footwear, couldn't tell if they were elevator shoes or had thicker heels.

-I'm 5 ft 10 3/8'' barefoot before bed.

-At the time i was wearing Nike Air Force one sneakers that put me at just above 5 ft 11 1/2''. I've measured myself in these shoes before.

So these are the facts, this was my experience. make of it what you will.

So Joe Weider was 5'8" now? Wrong. As a young man he stood between 5'10" and 5'11". Was taller than 5'9"-5'9.5" Frank Zane in the 1960's and 1970's. He was also taller than 5'9"-5'10" Sergio Oliva in the mid 1960's-early 1970's. Take into account Joe Weider was born in 1919, so he was already middle aged by then and is in his 90's today.

Check out barefoot Arnold Schwarzenegger compared to Jeff Bridges (wearing simple shoes) in this 1976 film:

Click Here

If Bridges is/was 6'1" then Arnold does not look a strong 6'2", maybe a strong 6'1" with some change. What do you think Rob?
[Editor Rob: I guess there's always chance bridges has lost half an inch himself.]
---------------------------

Jeff himself claimed 6'2" and Rob has him at 6'1.5" peak. Check out 1:17 as that's the best comparison. Keep in mind Jeff's thicker hairstyle VS Arnold's pat down. But with eyeline and both their heads level, there isn't any more than an inch difference. Take an inch away from Jeff for his shoes and voila, 6'1.5". So you're basically right. To think the trolls used this as their best evidence? It sells itself.
HellBoundPower said on 16/Jan/12
With those shoes on, I would put Jeff at 6'2.25", putting Arnold around 6'1.5"-6'1.75".

Nothing under 6'1.25 for this guy at his peak, he looked tall in most of his movies.
USYD said on 13/Jan/12
I reckon Arnold was in the 186cm-186.75cm. I think he was around 6'1.5", but 6'1.75" is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. The reason why I say he was 6'1.5" is because in all of his films he gave a really tall impression, and you can only do that if you're 6'1" with boots on. He was nothing under 6'1", but I think 186.3cm is a safe bet.

Can you explain why there is so much difference in height between Joe Weider and Arnold? There is at least 8 cm of difference there. And Arnold is barefoot while Joe is with shoes on.
What do you think?

Maybe Arnold is tiptoeing? Or maybe he wear such type of invisible lifts?
Or maybe Joe is on his knees?
Or maybe Joe is not 5'10"?
------------------

Yes my dear,
the last one you wrote.
Joe Weider was a very weak 5'9" ( he was around 173-174 cm max). His brother was 5-10 max.
He for sure was the same height of Franco Fassi, the father of the italian bodybuilding.
----------------------

Lol! Ciao Lynn!
And where do you read that Joe Weider is a very weak 5'9"?
Everywhere is written that he was 5'10". You can just do a google search and you'll find anywhere that he was less than 5'10. On google, try to enter "Joe Weider Height" and watch the result.

If it were as you say, then what do you think is tall Arnold in this photo?

176 cm barefoot?
Obviously there's a reason. And the reason is the angle of the camera.

15 inches and about 18%-19% bodyfat at 91kg and height 6'0" (182.7cm but it's close enough). That is pretty lean man at 12%, congratulations! Where are you from is you don't mind my asking? I've been training for about 1.2 years, and when I started my bodyfat percentage was about 25% and got it down to 18%. Hopefully by the end of this year I'll get it down to 12%, and the year after that about 9% at hopefully 186cm.

Here's an example of what I mean. Here we have 5'3"-5'4" PJ Harvey saying one thing, that no doubt gets the trolls all salivating. But ALL OF US see for ourselves a universally observable example that is as reliable and real as our own two eyes.
Click Here
That's Arnold literally towering over 5'5" Linda Hamilton. Don't you think that should automatically cancel out whatever verbal anecdote someone casually passes off.

Would you rather trust a witness's personal observation or video of the same actual event that everyone can see. Ali, Metric etc would instantly choose the witness if only they said what they wanted to hear. So this kind of "evidence" separates people who only want to know from the dummies.

I always thought that Arnold looked 6'1 to 6'2, but now I am really starting to doubt that. Look at the picture of Rob and George Hertzberg- that is what a 6'5 guy should look like next to Rob. Now look at Lou Ferrigno next to Rob- Lou does not look near 6'5, and I find it hard to believe he's lost that much height.

If Lou never was 6'5, then that's really bad news for Arnold. In pumping Iron when Arnold and Lou are posing beside each other there appears to be about 3 - 3.5 inches difference between the two.

---------------------------

Anyone can say anything for whatever reason.I'm not going to entertain why exactly she would say this as it doesn't matter. There is no side by side photo or footage of them to back up her claim. What we do have are many instances of Arnold on the Tonight Show looking every bit taller than 5'11" Jay Leno. That we all can see. We also have Arnold looking every bit 6'1"-6'2" next to many others with photographic evidence WE ALL CAN SEE.

An intelligent person would weigh the evidence and decide what is likely correct by what has the most proof. Since a 5'3"-5'4" women is making a certain claim (even in high heels), but everything else shows the opposite, we would require more of a burden of proof for that claim than her opening her mouth. Since no one has sufficiently shown a fair photo where Arnold would appear anything near that short or even average, it can't be taken as anything more than a passing comment. Again the reason why she would say this is no where near as important as the fact that ALL evidence is against her. She is easily shown to be wrong by anyone with even simple abilities and only desperate trolls would rejoice in such unbelievable accounts.

aaronious said on 29/Dec/11
from the studies done by joe wieder, it is much more likely that bodybuilding INCREASED arnold's natural height, because the vastly increased muscle density along the spinal column would space out his vertebrae, even in a vertical position. Age, combined with a non-muscular atrophied spine, would return Arnold to his normal height.
Bakura said on 29/Dec/11
6'1.5-75" peak and 5'11.5-75" nowadays seems like a fair estimate.
Lucio said on 29/Dec/11
Yes, I know that this picture
Click Here
has been widely discussed here, but it gives an answer that is close to 99% the truth, because it's one of the rare photos where they are at the same distance from the camera and almost perfectly aligned.

In fact just to look at their posture: the one (Reg Park) is straight as he can, with chest out and head straight, while Arnold is slightly bent on himself because he is perform an abs curl. And despite this, they are almost the same height, maybe Arnold a bit less, but as i just said, he performing an abs curl.

So at this point there are two the things to ask: Reg Park was 185 cm in good or normal posture? Because that of the photo is not a normal posture, but a forced posture.

Therefore, if Reg Park is 6'1" like in the photo, then if Arnold were been in the exact Reg Park's posture, he could easily have been 186 cm, whereas if Reg Park was 6'1" in a normal posture (that is, not like in the photo), it would mean that in that photo he could be easily 186 cm.

As a result, it would mean that Arnold could be at least 187 cm in the same Reg Park's posture.

Personally, I incline more to the first hypothesis, that is a good 186 cm for Arnold in his prime.

even Arnie goes with the 6ft 1.75, I believe the between 6ft 1 and 2 as his tallest height. He of course could have been 6ft 2 breakfast time for sure.

he says Connery and Eastwood are the real tall guys and Arnold wears special magic lifts, blah, blah, blah. That'll be it......plus an over-sized photo with Roland Dantes as "proof".

Lucio - If you can't see Arnold is wearing lifts in that pic of yours then you are I N S A N E!!

I would say your pic and the pic with Reeve from 1986 are the two photos that PROVE 100% without shadow of a doubt that Arnold IS indeed a liftmonger!!

Hilarious how this man sometimes looks like a KID next to legit 6-4, 6-5 men and WHAM BAM!!! all of a sudden he stands within 1 or 2 inches of them!!

Google Arnold and Pataki if you wan't to see how Arnold REALLY looks like next to a 6-4 man.

He is SOOO lifted next to Ferrigno.

I have always sided with Lynn on the matter of Arnolds prime height:

6-0 or a tad over. 6-0.5 could be reality as well?

184 cm for the young Arnold.

Yes.

Today 5-11 in the evening.
5-11.5 straight out of bed.
aram said on 6/Jul/09
Arnolds peack height was at best 6.1.Just look at the photos were he poses with reg park.they are the same height maybe park is even a bit taller and reg park was 6.1.in some bodybuilding sources you can see park listed at 6.2, but i guess this is because arnold was listed that height and all photos clearly show that park is even a bit taller than schwarzenegger.actually schwarzenegger looks really tall only on photos with franco columbo who was like 1m 60.
aarod said on 6/Jul/09
Arnold has unusual posture, because he is very stiff, but he has a small head and a long giraffe neck. his shoulders also sit lower than yoru average 6'1" man.

People are way to harsh on Ali here!

He is just stating his opinion. It's not like he is saying Arnold is 5-8 or something.

Remember the 5-10 sightings for Arnold go all the way back to 1984!!!

So IMO Ali is perfectly entitled to say he believes this is the height for Arnold without ANY of you mutts attacking him!

Personally I don't agree with him 100% but I never verbally abuse him like you fools do!

The joke is on YOU mutts!
Lucio said on 4/Jul/09
Ali, you're saying that you are only expressing an opinion, right, very right, but a guy that are only expresses an opinion, does not say sentences like "case closed", "Arnold is 5'10" for sure" or I am wrong?
Reply to me.
Or not it behaves almost completely ignoring the thousands of photographs that are posting here which show, beyond reasonable doubt, that Arnold in his prime was at least 6'1 .5 ".
It is as if I say that Franco Columbu is tall 5'11 "!

And who would believe me?
I certainly could not complain if no one believed me, do not you think?

What I mean is that expressing an opinion must be from a pure matter of fact, from a certainty, otherwise everyone can say whatever he wants, but you don't complain if no one believes him.

And Ali, I am sorry, but the certainty that this is Arnold in his first was at least 6'1 .5 "
Doug said on 4/Jul/09
5'10" at peak? Ali go away. Nobody even Metric thinks Arnie was only 5'10" at peak. It is a pathetic claim. If you talk b******s like this then what do you expect people to say to you? Arnie was a few inches taller than Bruce Willis, are you saying Willis was only 5'8" at peak?, Stallone 5'6" etc. You're way out. Arnold was officially measured barefoot by Vince Basille, a guy who would have no reason to lie. You are not even in ball park Ali. You claim that legit 6'1" ers like Arnie and Roger Moore were only 5'10" or 5'11" at peak and wore lifts. PLease.
Doug said on 4/Jul/09
At peak Arnie was 6'1.5" and likely close to 6'3" in shoes. He certainly looked it and Frank2 has met him in his prime and said he was a legit 6'2". Today I think he 5'11.5" or 6' barefoot, often looks like a solid 6'.
Doug said on 4/Jul/09
All I say is look how Arnie looks next to Obama. A solid 6'1". Now look how CLinton looks next to Obama, clearly an inch shorter. Now look how supposed 5'11" Brad Pitt looks next to CLinton. He is three inches shorter at least!! People are claiming Arnie is only 5'10" or 5'11" today but I'm sure as hell Arnie would be several inches taller than Brad Pitt judging by Clinton.
Anonymous said on 4/Jul/09
btw, i forgot to mention that with Dantes, Arnold is shifting all his weight on one leg while bending the other. This causes the hips to lower on one side and the opposite shoulder shifting the opposite direction to compensate. This overall arcs the spine to the side from front view. In short, Arnold is not standing his straightest. If he was he'd prolly look 6-3! Plus Dantes got shoes on! Case closed Ali! Pwned!
Anonymous said on 4/Jul/09
Whoah! Is someone dumb enough to actually think Arnold was only 5-9 or 5-10 in his prime?! Geez, RU jokin or just plain dense?! Did you know Arnold tried out casting for the Incredible Hulk tv series but got turned down because of his height? He got beat out by his arch-rival 6-5 Ferrrigno of course. But the point is, would anyone only 5-10 or less even BOTHER trying out for the Hulk? The Hulk was supposed to be at least 7 feet tall and needs to appear BAREFEET in all scenes!

If anything, the Roland Dantes pic shows Arnold was was 6-1+! Holy cow! You gotta be blind as a bat to think Dantes "towers" over Arnold with that pic! Geez! Arnold has his knees bent while his heels are planting over a 1" metal weight slab. But even if you discount all that, Arnold TOWERS over Dantes! Just look at the eye and shoulder levels!

I just saw Conan the Barbarian again and Arnold stood pretty well against 6-8 Ben Davidson, 6-5 Sven-Ole Thorsen and 6-4 James Earl Jones. Arnold was definitely 6-2-ish.

Nowadays, he's 5-11 to 6-0. I buy the roid shrinkage theory, makes total sense. He's a bit taller than 5-10 Rob Lowe:

Ali said on 3/Jul/09
If I think Arnold is 4'9 I'll write it. I did
never call anyone here an idiot. Even if this person
claimed Arnold was 6'3.

If I would come to your house and say Arnold is
this height and you would not like it, you could
call me names. However this is not your home and there
are rules of this forum. So Jonathan, Marc what you writing
is complete nonsense.

What is this nonsense that I am a liar.Jonathan, Marc, did any
of you two guys measure Arnold? NO! You are like me giving
your estimate of Arnold's height.

Did I write Arnold is 177.44cm or something like that? No,
I gave an estimate of his height, which I believe to be
5'10 ish. Did I ever say I measured Arnold or so?

I am not asking you to be nice. I don't care about you. There
are rules about posting here. And calling me things like f****
id*** or a** is against the rules. You understand! Not my rules,
but the rules of this forum. Therefore I asked the moderator Rob
to take some actions to prevent these things from happening in the
future? Is dat wrong in any way?

Marc, I actually like Arnold movies a lot. I don't know anything
about his politics and I don't care. I believe he has always been
5'10 and I have given pictures with explanation to show why
I think that way. So don't come with the ''playing victim'' thing.
I am just asking the moderator to stop the things which are against
the rules here, I am not asking for a special treatment.

Perhaps Marc in your world namecalling/swearing to a person is very normal.
I don't know.

Jonathan what is this nonsense you write about well established and concluded
fact that Arnold was over 6 feet? What are we all doing on this forum? There
is no such thing as fact that Arnold's height was 6feet+ peak. vince Bassile
measurement fact? Not in my book.

I don't care about downgrading Arnold's height. If Arnold was listed as 5'8,
I'd say he was 5'10 ish, he is listed as 6'1.5 peak and again I say I believe
he was 5'10 ish because that is what I really believe. Anyone may disagree, but please keep the filth inside of you(not you personally-in general)

If Arnold would have been over 6 foot, I would never even bother to discuss
his height. But Arnold's height for me is so obviously much less that the 186-187 that I find it ridiculous that he is listed at that height.

Everybody knows that a lot of hollywood heights are bogus; Brad Pitt isn't
5'11; Sly isn't 5'9. Mel Gibson isn't 5'9.5(not even close) and Arnold for me
isn't even close to 6'1.5 and has never been.

I emailed the response from Sarah Douglas(conan movie) in which she says
Arnold was the same height as her. I wrote about it again and it was questioned. So I gave everybody here Sarah Douglas' email address so you guys could ask yourself. Nobody of you guys did.

I showed you the Roland Dantes picture in which Arnold is slight taller, tiptoeing and standing closer to the camera. Immediately a few of you were
no the picture is fake and photoshopped. The picture is real.

I showed you the picture of Arnold with Andre the Giant and Chamberlain
and you could measure yourself(comparing heihgts) that Arnold was under
6 foot without even knowing how much extra height he got from his boots.
Jonathan said on 3/Jul/09
Instead of being a cry-baby, look at how belicose and ignorant you sound making ridiculous claims and not listening or registering what everyone else is saying on this board.

You don't like discussing Arnold's height. You like downgrading and downplaying his real height and refusing to accept the well established and concluded fact that he was well over 6 foot in his prime. There are no two ways about it.

Ali: Look at what you do first before trying to play the "victim" bullsh*t here. You don't discuss. You already rambling and ranting about "2 inches lift" when my close up of Arnold's footwear with minimal heel and shallow top makes it impossible to stuff anything. You downgrade and downplay ignoring everything other people show, prove and deduce. You are a pathalogical liar and a demented dumba**.

I am not a fan of Arnold. I think he s*cks as a politician and needs to be thrown out of California for doing unimaginably foolish things. I don't like many of his movies. However, I am realistic enough to believe the mountains of

You have no reason to be here on this board at all. Even an annoying guy like Metric seems to be half reasonable when it comes to Arnold's prime height. You are the only person on this board that gets ridiculed because you make a complete a** out of yourself by claiming ludicrous things that have absolutely no merit. Yet, you continue to ignore what everyone else says. You don't even realize how big of an a** you look when you make those ludicrous and baseless claims.

Please continue making those ludicrous claims of 5'9" + 3 inches lifts or whatever you make and you will continue make yourself look like an a** without even realizing it.

Guy said on 3/Jul/09
Good find Marc. So it's safe to say if Arnold wasn't wearing lifts to meet the tall President Obama, there is no better reason for him to do so any other time. That is to say accusing Arnold of wearing lifts can't be acceptable if there is no good reason or proof for it. If there was one time Arnold would wear lifts, it would be meeting 6'1"-6'2" Obama. Arnold really only looks about one inch shorter than Obama here and no more.

Arnold is obviously still pretty height conscious, as he tells that interviewer Bronsien? that he is still 6'1 - 6'1.25( yes, people tend to forget he told that guy that after he stood completely straight after being measured at 6'1 that he gained additional quarter inch.) So Arnold still thinks he's in the 6'1 range when he clearly looks closer to 6 ft nowadays. Yet, we NEVER see Arnold is any kind of lifts, so he can't be THAT height conscious. I mean, he was a body builder for years and has had A LOT of injuries. He's lucky still 6 ft.
Jonathan said on 2/Jul/09
Ali: You really know it well that it is not working. You really know you are a complete liar and a very dumb one I say.

Nothing could be more crystal clear (as much as your agenda against Arnold is. Not even a shadow of a doubt left) than Arnold being 6'1.5" - 6'2" in his prime. That is what he was. That is how big he always looked in the 70s, 80s and 90s. That is what all his measurements said and that is what people in all his circles have attested to including the person who measured himself.

You should be given the dumba** of the year award for not realizing how stupid you look saying those things.

Metric, read careful the article because also says:

"Despite Schwarzenegger's travails, his doctor says he is in great shape for a man his age, though few details about the governor's condition are ever released. Schwarzenegger's office says such information is private.

The governor "is in excellent physical condition and his health is very good. He has fantastic muscle tone, excellent bone health and is in great cardiovascular shape. The governor's health is in the top 5 percent of people his age," said Dr. Kevin Ehrhart, his orthopedic surgeon."

Late at night in 2009 I put Arnold at close to 5"11, maybe 6"0 out of bed.

As for his peak around 6"1. He wasn't 6"2 at night at his peak, perhaps close out of bed. He looked 6"1 more often than 6"2, he wasn't under 6"0 for sure at his peak.
Metric said on 2/Jul/09
What is this LSU guy talking about???

Arnold still trains.

But he looks bad today because he entire bone structure has changed!!

It is most evident in his hip region and lower torso. It seems like he has been compressed.

His backside looks like a 80 yr old granny! He already had this look in 6th day!! (HUGE butt and widened hips)

And it came suddenly. In the course of a few years from late 90s and on.

Also you will notice that beginning in his early 50s Arnold was already walking and moving like a geriatric citizen.

Compare him to Harrison Ford who is older but still looks fab and moves like a fighter.

Arnold today has become an old lady.

Sorry to say.

But it's the truth.

He is certainly no superman anymore.

I put him at 5'10. He is fairly tall yes but not quite 6'1....my dad saw him once about 25 years ago and my dad is 6'1 and he made the reference of looking down at him a bit which to me would put him at 5'10 or 5'11.


JamesZ: Yeah, my dad saw Arnold once too about 25 years ago and my dad is 6'3" and he was looking up to Arnold so Arnold must be 6'4" in his prime.

See how easy it is to make up bullsh*t?? I can bet you seem to be the dumba** Ali with a different log in. Don't make bullsh*t up!

He is widely acknowledged by everyone in IFBB for 30 years as the "Only Mr. Olympia champion who stood over 6 foot". NO ONE ever disputed that in 30 years. NO ONE!

It is iron clad and proven beyond any kind of doubt whatsoever in his 5000+ pictures barefoot that Arnold was 6'1.5" and was measured by Vince Basilli in 1969 (who hated Arnold because he was unfair to him as a judge in Mr. Australia contest).

He towered barefoot over just about every other bodybuilder except 6'4.5" Lou Ferrigno who was only 2.5 inches - 3 inches taller.

He has shrunk to a weak 6 foot due to four joint surgeries due to accidents including a hip surgery.

Metric: what difference does a photo with Matthew McConaughey matter. He's listed as 5'10 1/2" here, but it's clear this guy can look 6' whatever the reason. He always listed 6' on the internet and has his "exact" height of 5'11 3/4" written in his housecoat. Besides that he really DOES look 6' here next to 5'9 1/2"-5'10" Lance Armstrong and 6' Jake Gyllenhaal.
Click Here
Whether Matthew wears lifts, I don't know, but he does come off as tall in photos and his films. If you think Arnold in the end would come off looking 1/2 inch taller than McConaughey, then it pretty much confirms again the photos with Tony Blair and Obama where Arnold does look a shade over 6'. It makes no difference.

Second you whine about me hand picking two photos where only torso and above is visible. What about the Arnold/Matthew photo? I don't see their legs. Gee, maybe Matthew's standing on a grassy knoll. The extra photo's I provided of Arnold and Ralf show there is wide discrepancy. Such a tall guy like Ralf, if he's only a little closer to the camera will throw things off as likely he's going to be much taller than most photographers. Even still the blond guy is German American actor Thomas Gottschalk who is 6'4". Arnold certainly doesn't look just 5'11" here.
Click Here
Ralf is clearly favored here.
Click Here
For starters the other men are standing parallel while Moeller is standing on an angle with his one shoulder closer to the camera. You can see it better in this photo
Click Here
Observe how much closer Ralfs one foot is compared to those in the back. Also there's no way Ralf is just 6'5". I've seen him listed as 6'8" in muscle magazines. He even makes 6'4" Thomas Gottschalk look "short". In this photo 6'1" Gunter Schlierkamp second from left looks a good 6" shorter than Ralf though the photo is not the best for comparison.
Click Here
Looks at least 2 inches taller than Dolph Lundgren.
Click Here
Lundgren is anywhere between 6'4" and 6'5". Either way Ralf's a huge guy and comparing heights to such a very tall guy will run you into problems. It's much more accurate to compare people of known heights who are around the same height as Arnold.

Lucio, so Arnold is 6'1'' out of bed - well if you really think that, I just feel sorry for you.
Lucio said on 1/Jul/09
Metric, I agree with you on roids, but when you say crap such as that the Arnold height in his prime was 6 ' that no one believe you ,do you realize?
There are hundreds, thousands of proof, for photographs that say exactly the opposite, that you continueing on this road will continue to lose credibility and no one will give you more listening.

In this respect i show you my preparation made with a CAD program on this photo that shows Arnold, Lou Ferrigno, and Serge Nubret perfectly matched with a good angle viewing, although not perfect.
In order to do this, I scaled upon the whole picture of Serge Nubret height that in many sites on the Internet, ranging from a minimum of 5'11 to a maximum of 6 '
If you do not believe me, do a search on your behalf.

Lucio said on 1/Jul/09
Roger: yes, it's only estimation nothing more, but the Rob's estimation are very accurate, as the Ferrigno case, but I could cite many others, Rob pays close attention to details such as: type of shoes worn, type of sole, posture etc. etc.
So I do not think he fired at random in assessing the height of Arnold.
However, it is logical to assume its assessment refers presumably to the course of the day, maybe in the afternoon and as we all know, our height also decreases by 1" for the gravity effect.
As you can see, according to this reasoning, Arnold just out of bed, can still be 6'1" - 6'1 .25"
Metric said on 1/Jul/09
Lucio - Arnold was 6-0 prime. IMO.
Lucio said on 1/Jul/09
If we exclude some fragmentary information found on any internet website, a still today, there aren't no clear evidence that Arnlod had a surgery for hip replacement.
Simply there isn't reliable evidence regard this, so we can make all the speculation that we want, but they are just rumors.

For the heart surgery, the ski and bikes accident on the other hand there are the official proof.

On all the stupidity that Ali said, there is one that is true: that is Arnold with the exception of the operations that I mentioned above, is a man who enjoys good health, so it is perfectly useless to insist on topics on which no you have supporting evidence (as the hip replacement).
177cmmm said on 1/Jul/09
When Arnold was young in the middle of his bodybuilding career he had a bit of surgery done that could have made him shorter.
Metric said on 1/Jul/09
I think the last two photos I posted of Arn/Moeller and Arn/McConaughey were pretty conclusive.

To have Guy coming out now and saying the angle favors McConaughey when CLEARLY Matthew is hunched forward and bending his torso downwards thus favoring Arnold TREMENDOUSLY just shows how futile it is to discuss with these types of simpleminded, ignorant people.

Guy even has the nerve to dismiss my pic of Ralph and Arn where they are clearly seen standing side by side, no weird angles, both with upright postures and full length shots with shoes visible! Arnold is DWARFED!

Instead Guy handpicks strange photos where we can only see the two men torse up and furthermore pics where Ralph is bending his head VERY much downwards thus making the gap between him and Arnold USELESS for height estimation! (Still he DWARFS Arnold however!)

Take notice that many of the fanboys have not yet commented on my two pics. Of course they wouldn't because these two pics simply DESTROY their pathetic 6-1 case for Arnold!!

As for you Guy I would say your credibility and certainly your integrity is down the sh**ter by now!

You (and the other fanboys) display an ignorance and blind devotion to Arnold that is so embarassing I would have to take you for a couple of 13 year old fanGIRLS if I didn't knew any better??

But you are supposed to be grown men, aren't you??

Seriously, time to get a grip, GIRLS!
Lucio said on 1/Jul/09
A good end Metric, and then how much was tall Arnold in his prime?
Roger said on 1/Jul/09
Lucio, why is his height at the top of the page his minimum height? It is an estimate, nothing more.

Guy, again my question: how can Arnold be shorter than 184 cm max. Tiger Woods, but be taller than Tony Blair??? Why don't you accept this man has shrunken beyond what most of us thought is possible?
Guy said on 1/Jul/09
Sorry to disappoint you Roger but I debunked the Tiger Woods photo some time ago. Towards the end of the video you'll see Tiger doesn't look so tall next to Arnold.
Click Here
Guy said on 1/Jul/09
Metric, your arguments are demented. To compare how "tall" Arnold appears in his films compared to other tall actors shows how simple you are. Arnold's film's were loaded up with VERY TALL actors. That's a fact. I don't think Connery's films regularly pitted him next to 6'4"-6'5" actors. If that were the case he would also not appear so tall. It's all relative. Conan, Predator, Running Man, True Lies, etc etc all surrounded Arnold with exceptionally large guys. I don't think the motivation was the same with Connery. All you have to do is Google actors heights in Arnold's films. To take all films at face value to assume only average height actors are cast is a very simple mentality.
Metric said on 1/Jul/09
EXACTLY, Roger!!

Arnold NEVER looked 6-2.
Not even in his younger days.

In fact when you look at his movies today you kind of get surprised at how "not tall" he looks in many of them. Compare to a man like Sean Connery. He ALWAYS looks HUGE. Arnold doesn't.

It's almost like his big muscles fooled us all and made us think he was taller than he really is? Or maybe we wanted him to be taller?

The truth is he was never 6-2!

Never.
Lucio said on 1/Jul/09
The height at top of this page, 6 '(183 cm) estimated by Rob, relates to his height during the day, this means that this is the minimum height below which he can not go down, so it doesn't to refer to his maximum height.
If his height during the day is 183 cm, this means that in the morning, fresh out of bed, your maximum height could be 185 - 186 cm that is quite plausible for him.

Everything depends on the extent of loss of height during the day which is subjective to each one of us.
Guy said on 1/Jul/09
Arnold looks every bit 6' today next to Tony Blair with excellent photo criteria such as standing position and posture. There is also no reason or any noticeable evidence for Arnold wearing lifts that day. Arnold still looked possibly 1/2 up on 6' Tony Blair. There are also dozens of photos from that day to choose from. Metric as usual parades a new found photo to meet his agenda where Ralf Moeller is clearly closer to the camera. Does he think we're all idiots here? On countless times I've googled the same photo sessions from his various claims and shown the photos he's obviously chosen to ignore. Does he not think we can do this? Does he think we would always take his chosen (and usually always flawed) photos at face value without any further research. Yes this guy will use any tactic to win some kind of personal obsession with Arnold being much shorter than what is proven fact. Arnold and Ralf appear to be standing side by side in this photo and Arnold looks easily a strong 6' when factoring in Ralf's head tilt.
Click Here
Again Arnold might be favored a little, but nonetheless Ralf doesn't seem to look towering over Arnold here.
Click Here
Either way, there are not really any great photos for comparison between Arnold and Ralf at that recent event. To describe it as some kind of smoking gun is laughable. We've got a whole series of excellent photos with Tony Blair plus recent photos with Obama which all show Arnold is still very minimum 6' today and can look even a little more.

As far as McConauhey, he's listed pretty extensively as 6' everywhere. He has 5'11 3/4" written in his housecoat. I don't know. He looks tallish in his films. The photo with Arnold is not a great angle as Matthew is favored. Arnold could still look up to 2 inches taller if they stood side by side. Again the fact these poor angle shots are used as some kind of golden proof only shows the lengths these guys resort to.

marc:did you maximize the picture i posted i put the same picture that georgestrombo did with lines that proove my point that franco was closer to his chin than his shoulder which strombo insists.
.............................................

Correct,

so Franco 5'2", add 10" and...Arnold was 6' peak.
Click Here
GeorgeStrombo said on 30/Jun/09
CJ: Fair enough. I think you might be right that difference between Arnold and Franco was around 10 inches or so. Maybe, 11 inches at the most.

I don't believe Franco was 5'5" at all. No way. But, he could be 5'3" or a weak 5'4" at best.
Roger said on 30/Jun/09
What does amaze me in general is how often wishful thinking grabs hold of some here. I myself don't have any anti- / or pro agenda against any celebrity, I just like facts. Arnold himself rarely looked 6'2'' imho, even in his max. days. Just remember how 6'2'' actor Ronnie Cox was taller than him in "Total Recall".
Roger said on 30/Jun/09
It's great to see how the vast majority has come to the correct conclusion.
Let's also not forget Glenn who early on reported how Arnold looked a shocking 5'11''. So funny how Arnold himself still says "I'm 6'1''". When he obviously isn't.

Metric, I said and will say again that Arnold dropping to 5'11'' is totally imaginable, though as of now less it certainly isn't. Let's not forget, 5'11'' is 180.3 cm. What I still cannot judge - and no one can, as we simply don't have the possibility to measure Arnold fresh out of bed, is if Arnold can reach 182.5 cm peak. Or if 182 cm peak today are his max height after hours of sleep.

Heightloss during waking hours is very individual, so there's no way we can make safe assumptions about this.

I do strongly believe that Arnold has joined the "lifted fraction", too, for some time now. He probably wishes he had worn them when the photo with Tiger Woods was shot, as this was the single most embarrassing moment exposing Arnold's height (or lack thereof, lol)

I believe if Arnold and Matthew McC stood face to face, barefoot, you'd see almost no difference between the two. But let's in all fairness not rule out that Matthew himself is maybe even 180 cm. Maybe only 178 cm. That we again don't know for sure.
Marc said on 30/Jun/09
CJ: Agreed with you on all points. 10 inches seems plausible between Arnold and Franco.
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
5'11.5" would seem plausible. All we know is that he not above 6' legit today. So 5'11. something.
Marc said on 30/Jun/09
Doug: Thanks. I firmly believe Arnold is no more than a weak 6' today and possibly as low as 5'11.5". He shrunk by 2 inches or probably more in the wake of his 4 surgeries and aging. Pretty much what most people believe here. Still, some people on here need to be a complete jacka** to say pretty much what everyone else has been saying. It simply blows my mind.

Like the pictures I posted of Arnold with Ralf in the 90s, he was 3 - 4 inches shorter than Ralf, but now he has a good 4 - 4.5 inches difference Ralf.

CJ: I have to agree with George Strombo. Your picture evidence is downright pathetic favoring Franco due to Arnold's poor posture. Looking at all on-stage pictures (not the one's you posted of Franco being closer to the camera) that Strombo posted, Franco is indeed close to 11 inches shorter barefoot with Arnold when both were standing full straight. The problem is Arnold's posture which always was hunched and with a twisted waist with Franco.

Borrowing picture Strombo posted of Franco and Arnold on-stage with Arnold fully upright (which he rarely was), Arnold towers over him by almost a foot. He does not even reach Arnold's shoulder level.

Click Here

Franco is closer to camera, but Arnold's fully upright back and side-chest allows him to bring his full height out towering over Franco by 1 foot.

Click Here

There is no need to debate something that is so clear and obvious.
Metric said on 30/Jun/09
I agree, Doug. No need for any future hostility over 0.5 inch.

I was angry with the idiot GeorgeStrombo and that rubbed off on you I guess.

I apologize for that.

At least you and I both agree that Arnold is BELOW 6-0 today.

Unlike the fanboys who still dream of him being 6-1 and 6-2.
That
Vegas said on 30/Jun/09
tiny lister is also in that universal soldier photo (2nd from left), he claims 6ft 5 for his height
JAK said on 30/Jun/09
If Arnold has had multiple joint and hip surgery his height would have suffered. My dad just broke his rib and he lost an inch of height for a while. if you are just tired or ill in general you will notice that standing up completely straight is almost impossible.
Doug said on 30/Jun/09
Great pics Marc. Moeller looks 3 inches taller than Arnie max. Anybody who think he makes Arnie look like a little boy is absurd. If you compare the recent picture to the old pictures you can see that Arnie has lost a good 2 inches in height. Not hard to imagine given that he devoted his life to lifting heavy weights. I think Arnie is about 5 '11.5" today. Metric thinks 5'11". Is there really a need to be so rude about other peoples views Metric? It is obvious you like to think of Arnie as a little boy.
Metric said on 30/Jun/09
Anonymous: In your pic Lundgren is clearly hunching his head forwards and downwards! Kinda like the same posture as the hunchback of Notre Dame!!

Lol.

If he straightened up he would be hardly any shorter than Moeller.

This pic just shows 6-5 for Moeller and 6-4 Lundgren in their primes.
Metric said on 30/Jun/09
Lynn - Click Here

Many speculate that he is even shorter though.
Roger said on 30/Jun/09
Another great find, Metric. And again, 5'11.5'' on this photo for Arnold.
Anonymous said on 30/Jun/09
Geez, the Metric universe just continues to shrink just so Metric can lower Arnold, lol. So Dolph Lundgren is now shorter than 6-4? Lou Ferrigno 6-3? Wtf?! It's so laughable that whenever it's crystal clear Arnold is 6-2 in some pic, like in the Chris Reeves / Manute photo, Metric can't come up with anything that makes sense so he throws the "lifts" card, hahaha. What a joker!

Here's a good front-view pic of the entire Universal Soldier cast.

Metric,

Cj said on 29/Jun/09
GeorgeStrombo:pathetic evidence?could you have come across as anymore of a nice person with you first sentence?any way i actually choose 3 or 4 pictures where they are both in the same pose or posture and shows Franco came upto Arnold's chin and the lat spread picture you posted contradicts whats you saying as it clearly shows once again Franco comes upto Arnie's chin lat spread or not,the only reason that franco looks close to Arnie's shoulder level (even though he still reaches his chin)in the lat spread pose is the shoulders always raise slightly to make the lats pop out more thats why is chest is much closer to his own chin aswell.I also believe in his prime arnold was the height that this site has him listed at peak and if Franco is the height of 5ft 5in that would support that Arnie peak height as a 6ft 1.5to2in person generally has just about a full head over a 5ft5in person depending on posture.

Georgestrombo you believe as i do Arnie was 6ft 1to2in peak?if so why do you keep insisting franco closer to 5ft2in that would make Arnie smaller than what we believe maybe these pictures Click Here Click Here with Danny Padilla who is 5ft 2in are the reason?
based on picture and video evidence a 5ft 2in person dosent reach a persons of 6ft 1.5/or 2in chin thats probly why you keep on insisting franco doesent reach Arnies chin in the first place but Franco does infact reach Arnies chin whether you see or you dont,maybe i have to question my belief Arnie was his peak listed height if franco was only 5ft 2in and manages to reach a 6ft1.5in mans chin because thats the tallest 5ft 2in man i have seen or the smallest 6ft1.5 man i have seen.

I await your one sided view on the franco only reaches Arnolds shoulder view with bated breath,inspite of the the evidence shown and to be re shown in more detail later with inconclusive proof,and please take in the fact i have levelled with you the fact franco may actually be closser to 5ft2in but that probably wont stop you jumping on my back with my views and opinions though will it lol.

Metric you have shown a lot of disrespect for me and have called me names just because I think he is 0.5 inches taller. Think about it.
Doug said on 29/Jun/09
Yeah cos in Denmark all the guys are 6'8" blond giants and eat huge meals. OK Moeller is 6'5" barefoot as he now claims. That makes Arnie roughly 5'11", so what? I claim he is 5'11.5 you claim he is 5'11. Look at the difference on a height chart, extremely small yet you claim I am a deluded fanboy just because I think he is 0.5 inches taller than you think he is. You really need a few lessons in respect Metric not to mention reality because the way you speak to people really shows how immature you really are.
Vegas said on 29/Jun/09
Moeller isn't 6'7 he claims 6'5.5 for himself, a photo of moeller and lou ferrigno from 1998, most claim ferrigno has lost height or lost height before the 1990s?? Click Here
Marc said on 29/Jun/09
Roger: Aside from this d*mb idiot named Metric that possesses enormous hatred for Arnold. It is not even worth responding.

Dolph Lundgren has always claimed to be 6'5" when he did Rocky 4. He was asked his height in the audition for Rocky 4 and he told them 6'5". The video is on youtube. He may have shrunk recently. Still he is over 6'4".

Here are transcripts of his interview exactly in his own words:

"I was turned down at my first audition for Rocky 4 for being too tall, I was 6ft 5in and you were supposed to be 6ft 3in maximum. I didn't know what the casting call was for and I just showed up, they asked me how tall I was, I said 6ft 5in and they said "Next!".


I have given a range of 6'5.5" - 6'7" for Ralph Mueller because he was taller than Dolph by more than 2 inches easily in Universal Soldiers.

Regardless, I have clearly stated what you are saying that Arnold today is between 5'11" - 6' and the difference with Ralph is 4 - 5 inches in the recent pictures.

In his prime, there is no doubt Arnold was 6'1.5" - 6'2". He was maxium 4 inches shorter in the 1993 picture of Arnold with Ralph I posted when "Last Action Hero" came out.
Roger said on 29/Jun/09
Want another example of the endless proofs that Arnold is 6' max? Click Here the interviewer Carlos Watson said of himself that he has Michelle Obama's height (in a washington post article), he appears to be half an inch shorter in this video.

I think there's really tons of evidence that Arnold cannot be 6'1'' today. Why do some continue to insist he is????
Lucio said on 29/Jun/09
AAAARRRRRRGGHHH.... I'M REALLY SHOCKED! LOL!
Metric, Guy he is right when he says that you are the STRAW MAN ARGUMENTS.
And who tells you that McConaughey is not wearing lifts?
Metric.. Metric .. bring me a single photo with McConaughey and Arnold side by side JUST ONE and perhaps, and I say "perhaps" i can reconsider the issue.
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
Oops. I meant Lundgren was never 6-5.

He was 6-4.
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
Roger - I'm very interested in your opinion on the pic with Arn and Matthew??

You seem like one of the few reasonable guys on here.

Don't you think a flat 5-11 is possible for Arnold after seeing this pic???

Thank you.
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
Click Here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arnold looks 1 inch taller MAX!

But McConaughey is hunched forward. If he straightened up there would be around 0.5 inch difference in height in Arnolds favor at the very max.

(And is Schwarzenegger wearing lifts???)

I would say this pic is yet another smoking gun that proves Arnold 5-11 today!

Now we are only waiting for the fanboys...
Roger said on 29/Jun/09
Ralf Moeller is listed at 196 cm (6'5.5'') on his very own, official site, so no reason to make him taller than he is.

As every photo points out to a weak 6' Arnold, is this topic really that interesting anymore? I still doubt whether Arnold really can drop to 180 cm straight, but 181.5 cm is entirely possible.
Marc said on 29/Jun/09
Here is another one from 1993 (Arnold wearing 'Last Action Hero' T-shirt) of Arnold with 6'5.5" - 6'7" Ralf Moeller. He looks perfectly around 6'1.5" - 6'2" confirming it 100% that Arnold has shrunk by about 2 inches or probably more:

Click Here

A more recent picture of Arnold with 6'6 - 6'7" Ralf Moeller and Slyvester Stallone wearing his trademark monster stilletos footwear looking almost equal to Arnold in height at around 6' or so (Everyone is unanimous that Arnold barefoot demolishes Sly by more than 4 inches):

Click Here

To sum it up, Arnold used to be a strong 6'1.5" - 6'2" until his age and 4 joint surgeries and hip replacement cost him well over 2 inches in height. He could be even as low as 5'11" today. Who knows?

Slyvester Stallone is altogether a different story. As time went by, with age his footwear and monster stilletos grew. Today it is so ridiculous that this average 5'9" guy wears huge platform shoes and matches people of around 6 foot height. It is completely laughible.

You are a fool, Marc!

Moeller says 6-5 HIMSELF!!

Get it through your thick skull!

Lundgren was never 6-4.

And of course you pick a picture where Moeller is hunched forward and tilting his head down!!

And then you have the nerve to call it "more reasonable" over my excellent pic from the Audi Show!!???

My pic showed Arn/Moeller head to toe, with floor level and footwear clearly visible!!

You can't get a better picture than that!

Marc, you seem to be yet another one of these deluded fanboys totally disconnected from reality.

May I suggest you hook up with ACG??

Picket fences and all ;)
Marc said on 29/Jun/09
Here is a more reasonable picture showing both guys up close.

Arnold does not look more than 4 - 5 inches shorter than Ralf Moeller:

Click Here

Again, Ralf has been widely claimed to be closer to 6'7". Remember he towered over legit 6'5" Dolf Lundgren in Universal Soldiers by 2 inches or so. He could be closer to 6'7".
Marc said on 29/Jun/09
Can anyone explain if this Metric guy has an agenda against Arnold??? Geez!

All he seems to be doing is thrashing Arnold left and right unfairly. He seems to be completely biased and unreasonable. Then again. he seems to have a history of skewing facts to his likings.

Arnold was a legit 6'2" back in the 80s and it is crystal clear he has shrunk to 5'11.5" - 6'. The picture of Arnold with Christopher Reeve was taken back in 1984 when Arnold was near his peak height. How hard is to understand??

Ralf Moeller has been listed even at 6'7" and sometimes 6'6" and the lowest I have seen is 6'5.5" on this board. Arnold still looks easily 5'11.5" - 6' in that picture with Ralf Moeller. No questions.

GeorgeStrombo said on 29/Jun/09
Cj: Pathetic evidence. None of the pictures you posted have Arnold standing straight.

I had posted 3 - 4 pictures where Franco never reached Arnold's shoulder level even on stage especially with a lat spread where both have to stretch their rib cage and spine to the max thus bringing out the maximum height, which is why I selected those pictures since Arnold stood upright in those pictures.

All the pictures you posted have Arnold with his usual waist-twist causing him to lose height as well.

If both men stood fully straight Arnold towered Franco by 11 inches to 1 foot. No way was Franco 5'5" since he was shorter than Tom Platz (who was 5'5") and Chris Dickerson in the 1981 Mr. Olympia.

Franco was never more than 5'2" and Arnold was 6'1.5" - 6'2" in his prime.
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
That pic with Reeve just shows how Arnold is a HUGE liftmonger!!

Moeller is 1 inch taller than Reeve but ALWAYS DESTROYS Arnold by 5-6 (7 ??) inches !!

But mysteriously Arnold is only 1-2 inches shorter than Reeve???

Here are some other pics from that event:

Scroll down and look at picture no. 4 from the bottom!

Perfect camera angles, Moeller and Arn are standing equally as close to the camera and footwear and level ground is clearly visible!!

Arnold stands with Stallone like posture, Moeller is relaxed and has somewhat bad posture.

Still there is almost A FULL HEADs difference!!

If you count in Moellers posture disadvantage I would say Arnold looks even shorter in this pic than the first one I posted!!!

Eat pizza fanboys!! ;)
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
Doug - Moeller is 6-5 BY HIS OWN WORDS!!! So according to your own theory that would make Arnold 5-11 in my pic!!!

That's what I have been saying for years.
Metric said on 29/Jun/09
Doug - I see you know better than the celebs themselves how tall they are???

Are you Glenn??

Moeller said himself on a big german television show in 2006 that he is: "Hundert sechs und neunzig" = 196 cm = 6-5 !!!

I trust the man a little more than some deluded fanboy who only wants to make Arnold look tall.

BTW Moeller did NOT dwarf everybody on that show. He looked tall but no more.

Arnold on the other hand is often dwarfed in (recent) pictures. If he was still 6-1 there sure is alot of 6-2, 6-3 men walking around on this planet!!??
If Arnold was being photographed in Denmark (where I live) I could believe it.

Maybe.

But he lives in USA where the average height for males is 5-9 (According to this site)!!! Still he almost never comes across tall and in fact often gets owned and look shortish in pics. Such as this one with Moeller.

Incredible that the fanboys still try to explain this pic away with their camera angles, perspective and "Moeller is 7-0" CRAP!!!

Arnold gets DESTROYED!

Period.

Metric: Whoa!! LOOK AT THE HOSTILITY! you are a proven dumba** and look at your attitude!!!! You have before been caught lying. I caught you red handed when you blatantly lied that Arnold's measurements were taken from the 1974 Mr Olympia when I quoted exactly what was written in the "Arnold: 50 years portrait of an icon" magazine.

It was 6'1.5" taken from the 1974 Olympia when you blatantly LIED THAT IT WAS TAKEN FROM HIS PASSPORT!! YOU LITTLE SH*T!!

Secondly, you were royally embarassed when you were forced to put your foot in your mouth when you kept insisting "Bronstein" was taller than Arnold and everyone else including Rob verified Arnold was taller than Bronstein.

YOU LITTLE DUMBSH*T!, regardless of what Arnold owned as a Mercedes in the 70s, THAT MERCEDES IN THE BACKGROUND OF THIS PICTURE IS A W123!!! I HAVE PROVEN IT BEYOND ANY DOUBTS THROUGH SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISONS YOU LITTLE SH*T!!!

IT IS A W123 Mercedes that was 4'8" (58 inches tall) regardless of what ARNOLD OWNED!!! YOU DUMBF*CK!!

Metric: i don't know which car driving Arnold in the 70s, but the mercedes in the photo is own a W123 model and as well as are correct technical data exposed by George.
Ali said on 28/Jun/09
Lucio, what the ground is tilted?

The picture is not taken completely in front of the
three gentlemen. There is no ground height difference.

Look at the line where the floor touches the wall. The line
is not going straight, because the crazy photographer is not
taking a straight picture. You think Arnold is standing on
such an uneven floor while taking a picture?

This is how it is:

Metric, great picture! Arnold completely owned.
Arnold did not forget his lifts in this picture
Metric. He got owned while wearing his lifts!!

How Moeller looks is basically how a legit 6'6" (around) will appear compared to a 6' flat guy. Barefoot Arnie is roughly 5'11.5 and Moeller 6'5.5".
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
If Moeller is 6'6.5"-6'7" in shoes as I'd estimate given that he is 6'5.5" barefoot then in that pic Arnie is 6'0.5"-6'1" in shoes. Swing the picture round and Arnie really doesn't look like a little boy. Most people would be dwarfed by Moeller.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
Moeller is also taller than a flat 6'5" and has been known to look as high as 6'7". Barefoot he is 6'5.5" so in good shoes as maybe here he will be 6'6.5"-6'7".
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
If you swung the angle round taking over the top of Arnie pushed up hair Arnie is level with the bottom of Moeller's nose. Roughly a 6 inch difference.
Doug said on 28/Jun/09
Not really Metric. The angle is awkward and Moller is standing at the side and nearer the camera. If level I only see about a 6 inch height difference. If Moeller is 6'5.5" that still puts Arnie at 5'11.5". As for lifts I have no idea.
Roger said on 28/Jun/09
Metric, terrific find, this photo. But 5'10'', no. He looks 6' ( a weak 6'), like I and some others here say for ages.
Metric said on 28/Jun/09
Here is a little slice of truth pizza for all the deluded Arnold worshippers out there:

Click Here

6-5 (legit) Ralf Moeller just DESTROYS the sh*t out of Arn here!!!

Arnold literally looks like a boy next to him. There is almost a full head difference in height!!!

NO FRIGGIN WAY is that a 6-2, 6-1 or even 6-0 man standing tall next to a 6-5 Moeller here!!!

Schwarzenegger looks no more than 5-10 in this pic!

That's the sad truth.

Probably forgot his lifts at this event.

Happy "eating"!
Metric said on 28/Jun/09
GeorgeStrombo: Show me a link to the documentaries about Arnold you talk about!!???

I have seen them. And the Merc he drives in those documentaries is a W116 !!!!

Post a link to ANY kind of evidence showing that Arnold EVER owned a W123 !!????

I NEVER NEVER EVER heard that he owned such a vehicle!!

The W116 on the other hand has been pictured in Musclemag!

I even think there is a pic of Arnold, Robert Kennedy and the W116 in that infamous "50 yrs edition" you say you "own", George!!??

That's why I know you don't have the mag. And if you do indeed own it you have only just shown what a BIG liar you are!!

Conclusion about your pic of Arn and car is this:

Worthless!! First of alle we cannot be sure of the brand of the car!! Thus we don't know the height of the roof line and where is the point in comparing it with Arnold then???

Major FLAW!

Second of all camera angles, perspective etc. are way to messed up for an even somewhat decent comparison between the car and Arnold.

Don't post crap like this in the future, GeorgeFool!

Just another desperate attempt from a deluded fanboy to prove Arnold a GIANT towering everyone!

Lol.

Pure fantasy.
GeorgeStrombo said on 28/Jun/09
Lucio: Excellent point! The ground in that picture is tilted in favor of Franco and Dan. I posted tons of pictures of Arnold and Franco in a pose-down on-stage barefoot. Franco never even reached Arnold's shoulder level. NEVER! In that particular picture, Franco and Dan are standing at a higher ground level than Arnold.

There is no way Franco and Arnold's difference was less than 11 inches to 1 foot. Franco never reached Arnold's shoulder level in barefoot on-stage pictures.

Arnold did NOT own a Mercedes W123 E-class in the 70s!!!

Reply:

Metric, you are an id*t! THAT IS A W123 Mercedes that is 58 inches ( 4'8" inches tall). You are again having that "bullsh*t Bronstein foot-in-your-mouth moment"! I was graceful enough to not rag on you when I caught your blatant lie when you claimed "Muscles and Fitness: Arnold 50 years portrait of an icon" had Arnold's 6'1.5" height from his passport when I verified in the copy of that magazine I have at home that the measurements were taken from the 1974 Olympia. That 6'1.5" in the 1974 Olympia were taken from his official 1974 stats. YOU ARE DUMBA** FOOL!!!!

THAT MERCEDES IN THE PICTURE IS A W123 Mercedes LIKE I STATED BEFORE!!! I found rear three quarter angle pictures of a W123 Mercedes and it LOOKS IDENTICAL! IT HAS IDENTICAL FENDERLINE, IDENTICAL ROOFLINE, IDENTICAL SIDEMOULDINGS, IDENTICAL REAR BUMPER, IDENTICAL TRUNKLINE to the w123 Mercedes:

Lucio said on 27/Jun/09
Thank you all guys!
George: Yes, Arnold is slightly compressed as it is straining his abdominal and makes him seem more short then what he is really.
So if he is not tens your abs, would be tall than 1-2 cm.

Ali says on 23/Jun/09
"Look at tall guys like Connery, Eastwood, Hugh Jackman, Eric Bana. These guys
6 + are legit. They always look tall and there is never any doubt about
their shoes. With Arnold there is always the thick shoes with lifts inside (can not be evidence I know). "

Ali says on 26/Jun/09
"Arnold peak height 5'10 inches magic shoes +2 = +2 inches 6ft hollywood
Extra height = 6'2 "

Ali, you contradict itself!
Before you say that you can not prove that he wears lifts, then say that he wears them, in short, clear some your ideas!

Ali says on 26/Jun/09
"Lucio Also you can assume that is 180 cm Nubret all you want.
Why do not you assume he is 6 feet. That would make Arnold 6'3 ".


Worse yet for your ridiculous 5'10 "for Arnold, would say that your argument is even more untenable, and that Arnold is tall 191 cm!

Regarding the viewing angle of my picture, maybe it's taken slightly from below, but even though if it had been better, things would not have changed much.

Finally, I'll check a task Ali: find me a photo on the web between Arnold and Ferrigno side by side barefoot with good viewing angle, because I so far I have not yet found.
alexiel said on 27/Jun/09
Ali,you re absolutely right,arnold has average height
Sashank said on 27/Jun/09
Arnie was somewhere between 6'1.5 and 6'2 when he was the "true arnie" in movies like commando,predator and last action hero.Since 2000 he shrunk hard and you can see that in movies like T3 where kristanna loken kind of dominates him in height.Well.I guess at the moment he is about 5'11.5
GeorgeStrombo said on 26/Jun/09
Lucio: Great effort. However, stance wise, you must notice how Arnold's stomach is sucked in and all his abs are visible and his chest is deflated as best as possible (you need to exhale as much as possible and curl the lower back to tense the abs) and he is going for the "proportionate, ripped and aesthetic look" while Ferrigno is trying to go for the "Hurculean look" and expanding his chest and inflating it with air as much as possible by inhaling, which is why his abs are not visible at all.

Due to the fact that Arnold has curled the lower back, he is not as tall in that picture as he could possibly be. If he was going for similar "Hurculean" look of Ferrigno, he might be a few tenths taller around maybe 0.2 - 0.3 of an inch.
Ali said on 26/Jun/09
Show me where Ferrigno is measured at 6'4.5
Just saying it makes no point at all. Since you have
seen it, you can show us as well.

Please somebody show a picture of Arnold and
Ferrigno standing side by side in the bodybuilding
contest. There should be no angle. Lucio your picture
is a nice one, but not perfect as the angle is from slightly
below. This makes it impossible to really judge heights differences.

When the camera angle is from below, height differences look less
then they are in reality and people look bigger than they are. This
is done in many hollywood movies.

Even in your picture Lucio, Ferrigno is more than 3 inches
taller. But again a picture without angle is the reall
one I need.

I remember somebody posting such picture where you could
see the left sides of Arnold and Ferrigno. Both were standing
completely straight.

Also Lucio you can assume that Nubret is 180 cm all you want.
Why don't you assume he is 6 feet. That would make Arnold 6'3.

If you want to prove Arnold height,show it without assuming other
people's height. Arnold was never tall. We can see Arnold(with special
shoes) being the same height as Blair(6 feet official height)

A 6'1,6'2 person is a TALL human. Look at Sean Connery,Hugh Jackmann,
Eric Bana. These guys are always tall, they never look 5'10, never.

Nobody is questioning these guys hights. But people are questioning Sly's,
Pitt's, Arnold's and Gibson's. Why? Because these guys wear lifts and every
intelligent,non biased person knows it.

Every time you Arnold fanatics say, well he was barefoot
in the bodybuilding contests. Sure I acknowledge this. Then you go
on '' Reg Park, Draper, Nubret... were this height, so Arnold is 6'2''. If that is true, how do youknow it? Show me where Reg Park is 6'1, show me where Draper is 6 feet and Nubret is 5'11. You CAN'T, because there is absolutely not one shred
of evidence for this!

The only ''evidence'' for Arnold being 6'1.5 is Vince Basille measuring him.
That is no evidence.

Arnold has being lies about his height his whole career. He always wears lifts.
He was about the same height as Roland Dantes who is 5'10. Immediately you
Arnold biased people said the picture was fake, photoshopped.

Also there is the picture of Arnold with Chamberlain and Andre the giant, where
he looks Max 5'11 in that picture.

Georgestrombo you make no sense at all. You said
Arnold was one inch taller than Obama, making Arnold 6'2.25-6'2.5
nowadays. That is quite impressive for somebody who's peak height
was less.

Arnold peak height 5'10 +2 inches magic shoes=6ft+2inches hollywood
extra height=6'2
derek d said on 26/Jun/09
Great picture Lucio.
GeorgeStrombo said on 26/Jun/09
By the way, Victor Williams in "King of queens" is 6'6" and not 6'5". Still Ferrigno today is a 6'3" - 6'3.5" max. No doubt he was 6'4.5" in his prime.
GeorgeStrombo said on 26/Jun/09
Metric: There we go again. Visit Ferrigno's page on celeb height. He has shrunk to 6'3" now. He used to be 6'4.5" in his prime. He was identical in height to Olympic shot put champion 6'5" Brian Olfield in the 1977 World's strongest man contest. The footage is available everywhere.

Then again, it was stated in his CFL football records when he played for Toronto Argonauts in the late 70s.
Zach said on 26/Jun/09
Nice work Lucio. Although I do believe you may be chopping a thin slice of Lou's cranium there.
Metric said on 26/Jun/09
Ferrigno has never been close to 6-5. He was towered by legit 6-5 Deacon on King of Queens. He never looked more than 6-3.
Vladimir said on 26/Jun/09
Lucio,this is Excellent!! Way to Go, Man!!
Lucio said on 26/Jun/09
In response to the Ali to bring a photo comparison between Arnold and Ferrigno with a good viewing angle, there it is satisfied!
I developed this image with a CAD design program, drawing the yellow lines, with good approximation, on the summit of heads of each them.
In order to do this by not precise reference points, I climbed the picture on to Serge Nubret height, assuming that his height is 5'11 "(180 cm found on many websites).
As you can see, I believe to have obtained with good approximation, a good example for comparison.
Obviously I don't pretend that my preparation can be taken as absolute reference, but perhaps a further proof to showing that the Arnold height in his prime, was close to 6'2 ", definitely more than 6'1 ".
You will see that the Arnoldtrolls, Ali for first, their will bring reasons on reasons to discredit and depriving of truthfulness foundation my photos, but many of you, I am sure, will appreciate.

Frank Stallone said on 26/Jun/09
If seen a lot of pics of Arnie in his Prime and he was a strong 6'1" weak 6'2". However from the mid 90's on you could see that he progressively shrunk some to a now height to a about 6.05". I think in your late 40's is when your ligaments really start to contract. His daughter is pretty tall, about as tall as he is now.
Guy said on 25/Jun/09
Wow Lynn, you are absolutely one to talk. You've basically made up heights for many individuals since the beginning of time. You've never sourced or backed any of your ridiculous claims even when asked, so you are nothing but a hypocrite.
juggernut7 said on 25/Jun/09
sounds pretty accurate 2 me
miko said on 25/Jun/09
As for his "real" height at his peak, he probably was slightly closer to 6"1 than 6"2 in the daytime. Out of bed, close to 6"2.
