Btw, nobody's pointed out that in the pic above, Jim's belt-line is way higher than Arnold's. Two men so similar in height should never have a belt-line discrepancy that big unless one is cheating height over the other which seems to be the case here. Also, it's not totally apparent the Jim pic is slightly tilted or not...

Arnold Schwarzenegger did look about an inch taller than Jay Leno (5'11" here) when he appeared on The Tonight Show on 5/26/2009.
Leno is no more than 5'10".

You can't put any credence on any one photo, especially a waist up one with not one but several factors like unknown footwear and posture. I'm 5-9 and can sometimes appear close as my 6-0 friends and relatives in various pics with just minor adjustments, like minor slouches or raised ground-levels, etc... Like I said, Arnold was photographed in not only hundreds, but THOUSANDS of photos, many barefeet and many with other well know people of known heights. You can always nitpick a pic here and one there showing he was short, or one here and there showing he looked 6-4, but collectively, if you've done your homework, Rob's 6-1.5 peak and 6-0 current is perfect (although I have to say in my eyes Arnold seems to be more 5-11.5 than 6-0 these days).
If you want a killer pic, you can't get any better than this - full-body, full liftless footwear, and compared with another well-known celeb who's known to be around the 5-9 range (and known to wear big lifts, even in the gym)...

5-10, 5-11 my ass - unless you wanna say Sly Stallone is only 5-6. ;) Sly is probably standing at least 5-10 there if you wanna take into account his 1-inch lifted trainers. Arnold clearly as 0.25" slips. Ali, you're in serious denial bro. 6-1.5 was reality for Arnold in the old bodybuilding days. Deal with it. No more 5-10/5-11 pipe-dreams puhleaze.

Guy, as I've stated numerous times, I believe Arnold was 6'2" at his peak. But I was the guy who pointed out Blair slouching. I noticed Jim possibly pushing Arnold down and I didn't mention it for the simple reason that Arnold's peak height is proven by Vince Basille's documented 6'1.5" evening measurement of Arnie. That's why debating Arnold's peak height seems pointless to me. Not only did he measure 6'1.5" in the evening but he looked atleast that tall in countless body building pictures in bare feet as well as numerous movies.
I am not trying to downgrade Arnold but it's as clear as day to me that he's no taller than Blair considering their posture. Don't forget that I use to argue on this page that Arnold was still 6'1"! Some posters here like Ali obviously downgrade Arnie intentionally, but I am not one of them. I just see Arnold at a flat 6 feet today and no taller.

GeorgeStrombo nailed it on the head with the above photo with Jim. It seems Roger prefers to turn the "posture" excuse on and off. Arnold looks taller with Blair because, surprise surprise, Blair is slouching!! But with the above photo no such appreciation occurs for the postures of both. No problem. Well Arnold IS slouching above, and Jim IS riding up his side.
Jim also looks much taller than he is because of his very full hair style compared to Arnold's almost flat cut. What kind of shoes are they wearing? We don't know. Arnold is wearing a casual T shirt and track pants and Jim is wearing dress pants and a belt. For all we know Arnold could have 1" sneakers and Jim could have 1.5" dress shoes. We don't know. Either way Arnold again definitely doesn't look just 6' there and it is not at all the kind of photo to just draw a line from head to head.
Roger: who are you to question the logic of anything discussed here. Here is your logic. Arnold looks a little taller in many photos with Blair regardless of reasons. Whether you want to use posture excuses or space aliens, it doesn't Matter. Arnold LOOKS taller or the same in most photos and Blair never looks taller. So how does using your usual bag of excuse permit you to declare that Arnold really in fact is shorter than Blair and therefore under 6'. How does that work? Is it "magic" lifts? Those mysterious little things that no one has ever proven exists but are 100% certain they do exist. That's why I think this whole crew of naysayers to which Ali is very much related to, are absolutely closed off to any methods used in the modern world to deduce facts.

Arnold is more than an inch shorter than Jim from the
1988 picture. Don't tell me that Jim's arm on Arnold
shoulder is making Arnold shorter. It is not. Arnold
is standing completely straight, maybe 0.25 inch
less of because his neck may not be completely straight,
although I think he is standing completely straight.
Georgestrombo I asked a friend of mine to put his arms on my shoulders
and press me down. There was virtually no difference in
height, maybe 0.1 inch
Jim, is really leaning, and is probably ''losing
0.5-1 inch and he is still clearly taller than Arnold
by about an inch.
There is a 1.5-2inches difference IMO. If Jim is 186,
then Arnold in the picture is about 181-182cm. Still
not even 6 foot in his prime! Probably wearing lifts
as well.
Also one can see that Jim is a bigger guy than Arnold,
not just in height, but also wider.
Forget the 6'1.5 peak height. It is complete nonsense
and everybody with a little sense and honesty knows it.
Arnold's peak height is somewhere between 5'10-5'11 without
lifts. With lifts he is 6 foot and sometimes even slightly
taller.

Blair is around 6ft and not as low as 5ft 11 (compare him to George Bush, he was always taller by an inch plus).
Arnold is a similar height, not sure about his shoes though!
Add to this Arnold has a long neck but lower down shoulders, and add the bulk and he looks shorter than he is. He can't be less than 5ft 11 now

Roger: You failed to realize Jim has his arm over Arnold's shoulder. Try doing that to a buddy of your's of equal height and you will see your buddy will become shorter than you. Your buddy's spine will get compressed therefore compressing the upper body.
Jim is leaning over Arnold which means he is throwing his weight on Arnold. That means Arnold being a nice guy is still smiling when clearly he is getting compressed due to Jim's weight being over his shoulder.
Not saying that Jim is doing it, but it is a definite possibility that another thing is having Arnold support Jim's weight gives him the ability to lift his feet up a bit and stand on his toes to make himself taller.
Arnold would be as tall as Jim if Jim did not have thrown his weight on Arnold with his arm around him.

To say Arnold's prime was way before 1988 is ridiculous. Musclemass-wise, yes.
But he had for sure NOT shrunken in 1988 already. The guy named "Jim" is leaning slightly in the picture, as opposed to Arnold, who is standing straight. Arnold is for sure not more than 6'1'' straight in the picture. Which makes a 6'1.5'' fresh out of bed totally possible.
Today, 6' max fresh out of bed. Can shrink to 5'11.25'' during the course of a long day.

It's been a while, and this thread is so beating a dead horse. Arnold has had hundreds, thousands of photos taken, many without shoes. Anyone with even half a brain can and should be able to deduce Editor Rob's correct estimate (weak 6-2 prime, weak 6-0 current). If not then you either have an agenda with Arnie or just plain dense! Straight up!

I'd also like to point out to the photo above, from 1988. Arnold is clearly shorter than the 6'1.4'' guy, and that was Arnold in his prime.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Arnold's prime was way before 1988 above it says 1969-1980 was his prime height. That 6ft1 and 3/8 guy has Arnold beat by his big hair only.
I'm certainly that today Arnold stands at least 6ft to 6ft1.

So we have found the next troll. Jay, his arm and chest measurements were exaggerated back then, and how in the world can you write "he is 185 pounds"???
He said himself in an interview he is around 100 kg now and happy with his weight.

Ali has gone pots. Arnold was measured many times in his prime without shoes. His body measurements pumped were 6ft 1.5 inches height, 21.5 inch arms (rounded off to 22), 57 inch chest, 34 inch waist, 29 inch thighs, 20 inch calves, at 240 pounds weight. Today he is 6ft at peak time of the day and 185 pounds.

5'9'' for Arnold, lol. Funny this is. We might see 5'10'' within the next 5 years if his disturbing shrinkage occurs.
But Ali is not alone in his weirdness. Glenn once told of a reporter who insisted (and yes, he actually met Arnold) that Arnold stands 5'7''. Now imagine this, Arnold being eye to eye with TomKat.
Guy, why did you go to great lenghts trying to show Arnold is taller than Blair, when he is without doubt not taller? Can't you accept that Arnold is 6' max today, and likely even shorter?
I'd also like to point out to the photo above, from 1988. Arnold is clearly shorter than the 6'1.4'' guy, and that was Arnold in his prime. It means that Arnold was 186 cm, and has lost around 3 - 4 cm.

Arnold had 1.5-2.0" on Leno last night. He was wearing a high-top dress shoe. I couldn't tell what kind of heels were there, but I do know that more height can be stuffed in high-tops.

Ali what I don't understand is that if for all of your life (and forget that there are 1000s of photos of him barefoot showing him to be in the 6-1 to 6-2 range) that Arnold claims to be a certain height that you now claim even with lifts he is much shorter. If you are going to lie why not just get bigger lifts to maintain the "lie" as you claim. It makes no sense for Arnold to wear lifts and STILL appear to shrink!!??

Good find Lucio. I wouldn't doubt it if Arnold's daughter is 6' and that height is not so uncommon with women today. Also of note, don't take Ali's posts too seriously. I swear it's just a computer program that randomly generates the same basic statements over and over. Is this Ali character even a real person? On a positive note I would graciously award Ali with the Celebrityheights Troll Award. That's for his continuous banter against accepted conventions without ever needing to prove it or give evidence. Keep up the good work Ali.

Ali, is not that Arnold has shortened to the height of his daughter (that is 5'11 as you say), but her daughter who has grown to nearly reach his father and that is to a height of between 6'0 ~ 6'1, as can be seen easily from the fact that the proportions between Maria Shriver and her daughter are very similar to those that are between Arnold and Maria.

He has never been over 6'0. 5'10 max and
his magic shoes give him extra height.
He was a full 6'0 with lifts in his prime.
Now he is about 5'11 with lifts.

Look at how weird his left leg(lower end, just above the foot)
is in this picture with his daughter. Arnold is standing on
platform shoes that are made very clever that it is very difficult
if not impossible to see that one is wearing them.
Arnold gets 2 inches from his magic shoes. He must be 5'9
nowadays and 5'11 with lifts. For special occasions he
wears even bigger lifts.

It was never just about one photo with Blair. Some time back I posted a whole bunch where Arnold seemed to edge out Blair. It's not surprising it was met from total silence from the Arnoldtrolls. I'm not even saying Arnold has a full inch but it would appear to be up to an inch. With their heights so close, it's not surprising to find the odd one where they look the same height. I agree with Lucio, Arnold quite easily is relaxing to look eye to eye. Its very common, and I do it all the time with shorter people as it's more engaging and personable. The point is if literally 9/10 shots show Arnold slightly taller, do you go with the 1/10 shot as your final position? If you're an Arnoldtroll you will. Lets again take a look at several photos of Arnold and Blair.

I could post more but I'm tired and it seems redundant as it's going down an old road and will be met with the same deaf ears. Unlike the Arnoldtrolls, I'm not lobbying Rob to adjust Arnold's present height we see above. Even if I think he often looks .5 to 1 inch taller at times, I really don't care. The man is still at least 6' today without lifts and that's fine. This contrasts with the Arnoldtrolls who all press that if he appears 6' it's with lifts, and he's more like 5'11" or even 5'10" today. Do I still sound like I have an agenda?
I also agree and support Rob's and the universal fact that Arnold was near 6'2" in his prime. The Arnoldtrolls continually propose Arnold was far less no matter how little or no evidence they provide, and how much evidence there is out there to the contrary. So do I still have the agenda? Does Rob have an agenda? I think these guys really want Arnold short for some reason, but it's at an emotional level that facts never support. That's why they all have an agenda.

Second one Arnold meets Blair's posture and both are standing pretty much identically. This is the gold standard to measure from

I could post more but I'm tired and it seems redundant as it's going down an old road and will be met with the same deaf ears. Unlike the Arnoldtrolls, I'm not lobbying Rob to adjust Arnold's present height we see above. Even if I think he often looks .5 to 1 inch taller at times, I really don't care. The man is still at least 6' today without lifts and that's fine. This contrasts with the Arnoldtrolls who all press that if he appears 6' it's with lifts, and he's more like 5'11" or even 5'10" today. Do I still sound like I have an agenda?
I also agree and support Rob's and the universal fact that Arnold was near 6'2" in his prime. The Arnoldtrolls continually propose Arnold was far less no matter how little or no evidence they provide, and how much evidence there is out there to the contrary. So do I still have the agenda? Does Rob have an agenda? I think these guys really want Arnold short for some reason, but it's at an emotional level that facts never support. That's why they all have an agenda.

Yes, but the photos are taken in different moments. so it's clear that each of us makes the movements we aren't the statues , therefore, in a picture we can be reusult in a certain way, the next in another, small differences which do not change the substance of the things: Arnold is slightly taller than Blair, with a good peace of Metric & Company LOL!

are you kidding me lucio? you bring up posture as a disadvantage for arnold?! arnold has the posture advantage with blair which is why he looks SLIGHTLY taller. with equal posture blair is every bit as tall as arnold and arnold's shoes are more suspicious than blair's.

Roger is very simple, Arnold in your photo has a more relaxed posture, while in the other pics he has a better posture, is more upright.

I actually happen to be 6 ft 2 in ( 188 cm )
at Arnold's prime I would still be (only if slightly) taller. 1/2 inch.
If Arnold was 6-2 then I suppose I'd be 6'2.5-6'3. No!

former prime-minister tony blair and the governator. seems like both has similar heel advantage. very close but arnold looks slightly taller. blair is meant to be 6ft so i can buy that arnold is 6'0~6'1.

Ty, Metric. And RisingForce, you are of course totally right. I cannot understand what Guy wants to prove with photos that show neither Blair nor Arnold having a height advantage over the other one. Blair's shoulder's are higher than Arnold's (the slouchiness really is immense, also look at the Woods photo), as is his chin.
Blair's head though is slightly shorter, if you measured it from chin to top of the scalp.
Guy says others here have agendas. He is the one with an agenda, no other reason I see for trying to suggest Arnold has an inch on Blair.
Click Here Where has the inch hidden???

In True Lies, Arnold is clearly (at least,to me)taller than 6,1 Tom Arnold and neither do i think that Tom is 6,2 because in that case Arnold should be around 6,3 or 6,3.5 and i don,t think so.So 6,2 or 188 cm for Arnold.

Guy - About the Clooney shot: Arnold is MUCH closer to the camera!! Furthermore he is standing straight as an arrow while Clooney is hunching forward/over and has a terrible posture. I would say Arnold looks around 6-0 in that pic. He was only 49-50yrs in '97 and probably still at his prime height.

in the pictures of arnold and tony blair where they are standing still they look the same height to me. arnold's better posture can make it appear like he's taller. he's no taller than blair, but no shorter unless he's wearing lifts.

Guy, why do you keep referring to this photo again and again??? Blair's chin is higher than Arnolds, and he leans slightly. Nowhere in this photo does Arnold look 1 inch taller than Blair. I cannot understand why you are so delusional.
But I still believe the photo Danimal posted , the one showing Arnold with Blair, must have been manipulated. Cause Arnold looks 5'11'' max in it. Frightening.

189 cm. Today 188 cm would be laughing for Arnie. I give him today max 185-186cm but not shorter to realistic. He said when his daughter measured him that he stood 6

Danimal: those are poor choices of examples. The first with Arnold and his daughter is a weird angle, they're walking, and his daughter is closer to the camera. Again the tendency to want to draw a straight line across their heads to measure up just isn't realistic. She doesn't look taller anyway to use common sense perception.
The second photo is also one of several from a series where Arnold overwhelming appears slightly taller almost every time. Examples like this betray the depth of perception where it's clear Blair is standing in front. He is physically in front as his shoulder and arm are ahead of Arnold. Why use this one example when there are so many more much better examples from the same day. Arnold now looks 1" taller than Blair......in a much better and accurate photo.

So Roger, you've decided to come back and take cues from Mr. Ali. Welcome back. If every shot where Arnold looks tall is responded derisively the result of monster lifts, you can take the new Roger down a couple notches and hang with Mr. Ali from now on.
Metric, that photo of Arnold and Clooney is not worthless. After all you yourself have declared Arnold was not anything close to 6'2" or 6'1 1/2" peak height so it's only worthless to you because he DOES look that height there no matter what the angle.

well in fairness clooney is slouching as he almost always is and arnie is a bit closer, so i can't see a full 3 inch difference. however i consider arnold 6-2 peak and clooney 5-11.5 so that makes sense there(unless clooney is wearing lifts). i see arnold under 6 feet with richard branson.

Interesting George Clooney shot. He would have been full height there. Even if he's favored a little, you can adjust and estimate close to 6'2" there. The Branson photo favors Branson in the shot so Arnold still seems 2"-2.5" taller there. He looks 6' 1/2"-6'1" there.
Obama's actual height is unknown but he is very min 6'1" but probably a little more. He's listed as high as 6'2" and has claimed himself that height. Either way Arnold looks about an inch shorter so he seems in the 6'-6'1" range. Obama's height is ambiguous but in light of that, Arnold doesn't look 5'11" next to the 6'1"-6'2" president. Yet again the Branson and Obama photos correspond with the Bush and Blair photos and a multitude of others to become yet more evidence Arnold looks 6'-6'1" still today.

riskman82 that clip is interesting, a standard Range rover is 6ft 1 high, a Sport model is just under 5ft 11 (180). He's an inch plus smaller than the car, the roof arches toward the centre. I think it's a standard Range Rover though which would make him between 5ft 11 and 6ft

It's hard to know what Patrick Schwarzenegger's height is at any given point as he is only 15 years old. Its safe to say if he was 5'7 1/2" 6 months ago, he's even taller today. We can't assume a height listed at age 14 is going to be their final height. Also we don't know the height of Arnold's bodyguard. A 6'5"-6'6" guy can make anyone look short.

A former cop in my class use to work in beverly hills. There was two incidents were he had to go to Arnolds neighbors house. And both times arnold came out to talk to them to see what was going on. This guy is a legit and strong 6'2 he told me that arnold was shorter then him by about inches. Being a former cop myself I know they take in great detail about people and thier surroundings. He said this was back in the late 90's. Also in the late 90's my former Martial arts instructor who is also 6'2 said he stood next to him in a elevator in Indy. And said he was about 2 inches shorter then him as well but was very charming to the old ladys also in the elevator. My former Instructor said even though he was shorter his mere body size and presence was incredible.

I really think the discussion can end when we say arnie was a weak 6'2 (186-187 cm) at his peak and now has shrunked around to 6.05-6

I must admit, Glenn, I too would have doubted your sighting had it not been for the aformentioned photos but also the repeated reports of diverse people (none of them with any Anti-Arnold agenda!) who articulated their surprise at how short Arnold in reality is. There is no doubt that an unlifted Arnold can look 5'11'' by now!

Glenn and Metric, do you think we should lobby Rob a little that he permanently links the Woods photo here? I suggested so already, but Rob did not respond to my inquiry.

Yes, the Tiger photo was mind blowing. Incredible that some fanboys still defend 6-1 as his present height!!?? I just shake my head in disbelief...

I have Arnold at 5'11.5'' at his lowest, 6' fresh out of bed. Bronstein saying of himself that he's 6' on a good day might actually mean he's a strong 5'11''er.
And Arnold most likely wears lifts. Watch the video again, you cannot escape the fact that Arnold did not look shorter than Bronstein.
The photo of Arnold standing next to Tiger Woods is the most shocking one to date. Even more so given that Tiger Woods does not even stand 6'1''.

Funny you should bring up the Bronstein vid, Roger. If you believe Arnold is MAX 5-11.5 today how on earth could you be so certain back then that he was at least 1 inch taller than 6 foot "on-a-good-day" Bronstein!!??? That's ALOT of shrinkage in a very SHORT time if you ask me!!?? Lol. I have been meaning to ask you this question for some time now. I didn't do it however out of respect for Rob and the site. Didn't want to stir things up again. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything but now that you brought up the Bronstein incident again I'm naturally curious to know your answer??

gilipollas, Adults can grow but only with the help of HGH, and then its only because hgh makes all the organs in the body bigger, and it makes bones thinker (not longer) but making bones thicker where the ankle meets where the knee and hip meet can most def. give some one an inch or more when abusing hgh. Disadvantage is a fatter looking face due to the bone thicking, like stallone. Although this is accumlative information through out the web I believe it to be farily true.

Arnold in his prime had a massive frame with long arms and legs. A friend of mine from the gym met him at the arnold classic in the 80's and told me he was taller than me. Im 6 foot, 240lbs with legit 20" arms, I think 6'2 in his prime is very accurate. He may have shrunk a little through the torso maybe because of age or not taking HGH anymore. HGH does effect bone growth also.

The study singles out ONE substance, namely Glucocorticoids, as showing bone degrading effect under special circumstances. In no way does this "proof" that steroid consume frails the bone structure.
And Guy, Weider could have easily reduced steroid abuse by introducing rigid controls in the IFBB - which neither he nor Ben Weider wanted nor did.
I still think Weider went the correct route from a business standpoint. Anyone with even half a brain must realize quickly that the whole industry is rotten.
You cannot keep a billion dollar business alive if you simply wrote: "building in a nutshell: 1) experiment and get to know your body 2) train hard enough to induce growth 3) recuperate sufficiently 4) realize your genetic potential drug-free.
That's all there is to bodybuilding. Certainly not enough to fill magazines month in and month out. So we are being told what the training routines of the "champions" are when those routines are worthless for natural, non-genetic freaks.

It's a little weird, Metric. You went to great lenghts to praise Arnold's physique, then you tear him and Weider down. Weider's first intention was to make money, and you do this buy selling low cost stuff (his supps) at a high price and promoting high volume training principles that encourage consumption of the powder crap.
I would have done it the same way. The whole health / fitness / bb industry is 90% scam and 10% substance. With or without Weider. Why you single him out in every of your hatefilled posts I don't know.

5-11 flat seems too low next to 5-10.75 orlando bloom, but 6 ft seems to be his max height.

although it's defintley possible that either of them could have put small lifts in those shoes. that brings me to an age old question. does arnold wear lifts? it hasn't been unusual to see him in 2 inch cowboy boots.

i do suspect that he may wear lifts because he can still look like he's 6-1 even today, such as in that interview with phil bronstein or in the picture with clint eastwood or bruce willis ect.

There you can read about how Arnold got into serious problems the night before the final posedown because he had screwed up a Cortisone injection. Franco was by his side as the "hero" wept and finally got him through the night scolding him and making him do his posing routine over and over again. Lol.

I see it happening daily in my own gym: kids 16-20 yrs roided up like hell because they wan't to look like their precious idol! It's so sad. And to think that his equally deluded prodigy, Arnold, was appointed the chairman of the "Presidents council on physical health and fitness"!!??? Makes me sick to my stomach...

Again a quick comparison with Sergio shows Arnold cannot be shorter than he claimed. Sergio is listed as 5'10", but even if only 5'9", Arnold still looks close to 6'2".

Here's a good one for comparison as they are both hitting the same pose and are standing side by side. If you look they are both barefoot on even ground so cries of lifts can't be claimed. If Sergio is 5'10", Arnold certainly looks 6'1 1/2"-6'2".

So it's overwhelming in the tall Arnold claim that he was measured 6'1 1/2 in 1969, and he looks every bit that barefoot next to other bodybuilders of known heights. In this photo with 5'9" Frank Zane, Arnold is favoured but still looks towering whatever the case.

So it's overwhelming in the tall Arnold claim that he was measured 6'1 1/2 in 1969, and he looks every bit that barefoot next to other bodybuilders of known heights. In this photo with 5'9" Frank Zane, Arnold is favoured but still looks towering whatever the case.

Here's an excellent shot with very good comparison criteria. As you can see Arnold towers over 5'9" Frank Zane and looks every bit close to 6'2" there.

5'8" Mike Mentzer is towered by Arnold on the right

Again Arnold is clearly much taller than everyone else

Thanks Guy, I didn't think at the line on the panel and the viewing angle of the photographer, but they are undoubtedly correct.
Metric: i know that the black man in the photo is not Oliva, but I needed to compare with the Zane height.

I agree Lucio. The idea of merely drawing a line across a panel bodybuilders on stage should never be considered totally accurate. Their postures might be different and as you mentioned certain poses compress the torso which will influence apparent height. Taller bodybuilders with more often do this to make themselves look wider by shortening their torso. Then you have standing positions, and position of the photographer and camera angle to contend with. In the end you can only go by estimates and Arnold looks big in that photo. BTW Lynn has always from the time I've been here taken personal liberties to lower everyone's height to what they require to prove the 6' Arnold agenda. I wish I could do that but I can't. It's called ethics. If I could personally at will change known historical or proven scientific facts to prove my arguments I'd be set.

well he measured 6-1.5 in the evening in 1969, this has been confirmed by the man who measured him. he must have been atleast a half inch taller in the morning. he was 6-2 in the morning, maybe not any later than that.

Second point: Arnold in this picture has the abdominal contracts, and it is well known that when these muscles are contract, there is a trend towards even lower than 1" - 1" 1/2 to make them stand out better, so Arnold would certainly be taller in this picture, if it did not contract the abdominals.

Derek good point. I was thinking the same thing, he's claimed both 6'1.75 and 6'2 for peak. When a celeb quotes several heights its most likely the higher ones they're just exagerrating. Unless they're in the 6'5+ range in which case they might want to downgrade slightly. Either way I'd definitely agree with Arnie's own quote of 6'1.75 for peak, just scraping 6'0 these days imo.

He was over 6ft in his prime obviously, how much is debatable, now he's floating below the 6ft mark. Hip replacement etc. it's no wonder really this guy has shrunk a lot.

Well Arnold himself recently admitted he was only 6'1 3/4 at his peak, so how is 6'2 even a possibility anymore? He was either the 6'1 3/4 the he stated or 6'1 1/2 at least.

Yes Danimal and I quote: "Vince is of course correct concerning how everyone shrinks over the course of the day. As the day progresses, water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity causing up to an inch of temporary height loss. As Arnold was measured 6'1 1/2", it is highly probable that he would be 6'2" and potentially slightly over at first thing in the morning.#" - This means Arnold was measured at 6'1.5" in the EVENING, so like as eveyone such as Glenn has height loss during the day, I have no question to doubt that Arnold could have been 6'2.5" in the morning.

Regardless of the debate about shrinkage, Arnold can still look a strong 6'1" or a bit more.
I had seen Arnold from 2 feet away standing next to 6'2" strong Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper (he is taller than Obama) and Arnold looked very close in height measured from head top to head top. Although, I noticed Arnold's shoulder have a very steep drop and longer neck unlike Harper that has very high mounted shoulders and short neck.

I would be shocked if Arnold measured over 6"0 today. Perhaps might scrape over it in the morning, but at best perhaps 5"11.5 today with an added boost from his footwear.
He just seems a shorter man today, like he has been compressed.

Roger: I remember your picture, but this does not necessarily mean that Arnold wears lifts in his shoes.
Indeed if you zoom the photos that I posted Click Here , you will see that the heel of the Blair and Arnold are compatible as height.
As for the shoes, actually those of Arnold seem larger, but because of the stitching which gives impression that the shoes bigger than they are, and ultimately, of course, are two different models.

Glenn was wrong about his height, but that not does not mean he would downgrade celebs. And Arnold is absolutely equal to Blair in height. He is NOT taller. And yes, Arnold's shoes are suspicious. Hummers for the feet, so to speak.

Roger: I'm not necessarily saying Arnold is a full 6'1" today although he said he is so he might be. I think he is bare min 6' and probably a bit more by the many photos with Blair which show that definitely. That's when it becomes ridiculous with the whole glasses thing that you and Metric accuse when it is clear for anyone even with weak vision to see Arnold is taller than Tony Blair. The glasses accusation isn't even based on any photo. This Glenn guy swears he saw Arnold at 5'11" but has shown he's not even honest (or accurate) about his own height. When someone from another page questioned him on it he reacted in a rage. Then it was shown that he was shorter than he claimed at less than 5'8" and closer to 5'7". This shows he's not reliable. Can his word be taken as fact? No photo has been shown conclusively where Arnold appears 5'11". This is Glenn's word and seems to be the only proof. I don't buy it.

Maybe squatting with 440 lbs + on your back compresses the spine. Or maybe he underwent some sort of surgery we do not even know of. Strange it is for sure.

I agree Danimal. Casual opinions from posters about what they think or suspect Arnold's peak height was are just opinions. Arnold's height was measured by a professional device. Seeing a movie or just assuming a fact that Arnold was 1/2 inch less than a credible source is quite amateurish. It's like voicing your opinion that the CN Tower can't be more than 1800 feet. Seeing it in a photo next to another building you give your estimate of 1780 feet. When you saw it in person it didn't look that tall. Its known for a fact that it is 1815.4 feet. It's a measured fact. Though Arnold's height might not be as solidly measured from an architectural standpoint, it was measured by an indifferent source which is more than most celebrities on this site have for them.

Anybody who claims he is under 5'10" now or under 6' at peak just ignore them.
LOL if Arnie was 5'8" at peak Stallone is 5'3" and Willis 5'5"? The man in my view was virtually the same height as myself at peak around 6'1.75" and in good boots could also give off a 6'3" impression that I do. Arnold never has and never will be a "short man". He is no longer the larger than life action figure he once was but he still obviously not a small man. To me it seems people are jealous of Arnie and Stallone and envy their physiques and downgrading their heights to ridiculous levels seems to make themsevles feel better. So Arnie is not 6'5". WHo cares? He will always be an action film legend whether he shrinks to 5'8" by aged 75 or not.

I wouldn't know for sure if she really is 6-1.5 because I never saw her in person. But I will see if I can dig up that other reference. I really doubt Frederik is only 180 cms!!?? Both he and Joachim have looked taller than Roger Moore (hangs out with the danish royal family) on a few occasions. So much for tabloid accuracy!

Carol: here's what you do. Scan that photo of Arnold appearing not much taller than 5'8" you, and send it in here to this page. The claim is too extraordinary for anyone to take as a possibility without that photo as proof. Why should I believe it when there are countless photos of Arnold that we can all see where he looks close to 6'2" in his prime. If I take my pick, I choose to believe the photos I can see over some stranger on the web claiming something we have to trust exists with no verification.

The claim is too extraordinary for anyone to take as a possibility without that photo as proof. Why should I believe it when there are countless photos of Arnold that we can all see where he looks close to 6'2" in his prime. If I take my pick, I choose to believe the photos I can see over some stranger on the web claiming something we have to trust exists with no verification.

Arnie's peak full 6'2 (188cm) barefoot, now he is 6'1 1/4 (186cm) but not less. He is taller than Stephen Harper who is little over 6'1 and same height as Obama who stands 6'1 1/2 (187cm). Maybe Obama could be a shade taller because he is smaller.

Ali, you realise Arnold was 60 odd when he met Blair? So that picture doesnt prove anything with regards to his peak height, which in any case was almost certainly over 6ft (his peak height that is). Most likely in the 6'1-6'1.5 range but no way 5'10.

so our crownprince is not taller than his mum or father he is only average while his brother is a bit taller
Arnold Schwarzeneggers height seems to fit very accurately when applying aging.

Ali, you are inventing in your head what you feel needs to exist. Anyone can look at anyone's shoes and make a claim for lifts if they think the situation is charged enough in that direction. There is absolutely nothing conspicuous about Arnold's shoes in that photo that screams out lifts. Arnold isn't really standing but is in mid step as he is leaving the vehicle. His shoes don't look unusual. It comes down to perception. Someone like you who has been yelling the "magic lift" campaign for eons will always see the possibility of lifts because your position is completely dependent on it. If Arnold was wearing flip-flops standing good like that next to Tony Blair, you would claim lifts. That's because you have to in order to continue with your 5'10" claim. Your lift claim is based on necessity rather than quality or quantity of evidence. Let's take a look at this scenario....
Click Here
.....the lines show where clearly Arnold's ankles are. You can see where it bulges there, that's his ankle. There's about a 3 inch distance between my ankle and the bottom of my heel and I doubt Arnold is much different. With this in mind it is impossible for Arnold to be wearing lifts in this photo. The only thing he's guilty of is wearing large heeled dress shoes. There's no crime against that.

I snapped a photo of Arnold at Planet Hollywood Orlando in the early 90's. I was about 3' from him on flat pavement and I am a 5'8" female. No way that man is 6' tall,maybe 5'10" at the most! He was barely taller than me and I was surprised how short he was because he looks so much taller in his movies.

Well I'd agree with you Klem that 180 isn't "tall" I implied it was the start of where somebody may consider you taller than average. In a lot of European countries 5'11" is average, in particular amongst younger men.

Here in Slovenia 180cm is not considered tall, it is actualy average for 19 year old, measured by yearly testing at the end of highschool... Overall average including all males is 5-10.1,or close to 178.5cm.
Height chart would be like this(judging from a young male perspective):
under 165 cm-very short
165-174-short
175-183-average area
184-190-tall
191-196-very tall
197-202-outstanding tall
203+ -giant, very rare

Thanks Doug and Metric. I'm glad you didn't disagree very much with my point of view. And it's correct that here in my country there are a lot of short guys, less than 1.65m, but I still feel short at 1.68m because I'm dwarfed by a lot of guys of my age or younger (I was born in 1975). It used to happen frequently in my university. Even in my working place I'm shorter than most of the men. Height also depends on race I think. Black (or partially black) men here tend to be tall, most of them 1.80m or above. Indian tend to be short (1.70m or less). Asian (from chinese or japanese ancestry) are middle to tall, most of them taller than me, some are very tall (more than 6ft), especially younger generations. BTW I'm mestizo (as most people here) with white and indian ancestry, more on the whitish side though.

Doug: Lol, if you ever come to Aarhus I can show you around. Then we will train in my gym! It's the heaviest gym in Denmark and some pretty famous danish strongmen have trained/train there. We have dumbbells up to 185 lbs !!! The leg press goes to 2000 lbs (!!!). Even Ronnie Coleman would be satisfied! 5 blocks from my home lives the tallest person in Aarhus. He is a famous basketball player and is 2.18 m or 7-2 feet/inches. Saw him in the street some time ago. He is friggin HUGE. In the same area lives a weird dude who owns a godzilla-like K9 that has to be at least 225 lbs, prolly more 235-240 lbs!!!??? In the summertime its always laying and resting outside his doorstep all flat on the sidewalk. I just love the look of old grannies whenever they spot it: It's like "OOOHH SH****T, CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE ARMY, ANYBODY NOOOOW!!!???". LOL

I'd probably regard anybody over a legit 195cm barefoot as a giant but a real "giant" begins around the 6'6"-6'7" mark, 2 metres I'd say.

I think you can basically summarise "height zones" by every 10 cm actually.
Below 160cm -dwarf
160-165cm - very short
165-170cm -short
170-180cm Average range (shorter and taller average lies at either end)
180-190cm -tall
190-200cm very tall
200cm+ giant

I know you didn't say the guys were all 6'7"! but I did see a 6'7" ENORMOUS Danish guy as I said. Yes it noticed it was a very clean place, lovely cafes along the streets. Nice place. Would like to visit Aarhus and Copenhagen, might get dwarfed though. Hey on my rowing machine I decided to change the reader to calories. I managed to burn 1000 calories this morning but I didbn't manage it all in one blast as my back was packing up! and I've been absolutely STARVING all day. If any wants to really tone up and lose weight use the rowing machine for an hour every day, run, swim or cycle and eat plenty of vegetables, fruit and meat and cut out the processed sugary/carbos. Those forms of exervise absolutely burn off a frightening number of calories and body fat!

I met "Arnie" while at work in Fresno. He had a pompadour hairdo thing going, was wearing dress shoes, and he was still about 4 inches shorter than me. I watched where he came up to on the wall next to him, and was very careful about judging his height when I shoot his hand. His shoes and his instep of his foot looked like he was wearing lifts. I say 5'8" barefoot, 5'10" with dress shoes tops. He is a real shorty.

As I have said before I would estimate most males here at 5-11 to 6-2 (including older males). But there are many 6-2 to 6-4 and some 6-5 males as well. BTW Hope you liked Esbjerg, Doug?? It's too small and isolated a city for my taste though. I live in Aarhus, the countrys second biggest city and the "capitol" of the large peninsula known as Jutland. There are many HUGE guys (and girls) in Aarhus!! Def the place to come and visit if you wanna see really tall people. We also have more turist attractions than Esbjerg! Lol. I recommend. But of course if you really wan't to enjoy Denmark Copenhagen (capitol) is the place to go.

It depends on the country though Daniel. If in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand or India you said 174cm was on the short side they'd think you were pulling their leg as 5'8.75" would look notably tall compared to them!. In western countries yes those heights are about right but in Peru your 1.68cm is a very decent height probably average. A lot of the guys in Peru and Bolivia are barely 5'3" or 5'4". From my personal perspective "tall" really starts at a legit 6' barefoot. Yet there are many 5'10 or 5'11" guys who wear thick boots and pass for being considered "tall". It all depends on number of things.

Daniel I'd say anything under 5'6" as very short, 5'6"-5'8" as a little on the short side, 5'8'-5'10.5 as medium and tall 5'11+. We practically agree although I wouldn't say a 5'7" guy is "very" short. 5'6" below is.

Interestingly Samuelsson is almost exactly the same size 6'6.5" and 343 pounds I just checked , this is almost exactly the same proportions in the Danish guy I saw. There weren't many like him walking about though!! I can baguely recall a few older guys being around 6'1" or 6'2" too but there were only a few who stood out to me.

There was a guy on my cruise ship actually who looked like that ex worlds strongest man guy whats his name something like Magnis Magnusson or Samuelsson or something HUGE guy probably 6'7" with white eyebrows and a tan. Wasn't the Magnus bloke Icelandic though? Anyway there was one guy who looked just like him and a few other very big guys but most it has to be said didn't look noticeably tall.

Of course I'd like to visit your country, Metric, which I hope to do sometime in the future, even though at 1.68m I would be dwarfed by almost everyone, hahahah. Here in Peru I'm almost average, and not regarded as short by everybody, even though I consider short myself. My opinion about men's height is:
Less than 1.70m very short
1.70m - 1.74m somewhat short
1.75m - 1.79m medium height
1.80m - ... tall
What do you think about it?

That's what you get for living off oatmeal and bad beer all your life! Lol. If you don't believe what I'm saying about modern danish men and women I suggest you book a vacation here! It's a wonderful , country but I promise you will get a SHOCK when you step on danish soil and see the gargantuan people!! We're friendly though :) When posters on here say that 5-10 for a man is "the start of tall" and at 5-8 you are taller than most women I'm just shaking my head in disbelief!? It's not a reality I'm used to. Sometimes I wish I was born in another country. In Asia I would be considered tall I guess?? Lol.

It's funny what you say about modern dannish men's height, because I've read that older generations (maybe that of your granpa's, Metric) were rather short, 5'7'' - 5'8'' on average.

Doug - You sound like you have your training routine together, man. I always get the best triceps development myself when I train them together with shoulders. Heavy military and behind the neck presses really gets the triceps prepumped and ready for action! My program for tris revolve mostly around the lying down triceps extension and behind the neck triceps press with a single heeavy dumbbell (going up to 85-100 lbs). So far it has worked like a charm. Many people don't realize that triceps are 2/3 of the equation when it comes to getting big guns! But I see you have that one figured out, Doug! So go for it, yeah, and you will have those 17 inch babies in no time! :) Unfortunately my biceps are kinda my weak bodypart. In comparison to my chest, back and shoulders my arms always look a little thin IMO. If I had 17 or maybe even 18 inch guns they would probably look alot more proportional? But I don't obsess about it. I think 210 lbs is a good, respectable weight. I will never forget the first time a girl called me "big guy" (she was obviously referring to my weight NOT height - lol)! Made all the hours at the gym and the endless eating all worth it! :) Peace, man.
