Jim Hopper said on 5/Nov/17
If his true peak was over 6-1 how can he look over 1.5" shorter than George Bush Snr???? {6-2]
Cole said on 5/Nov/17
Click Here He says he's 6,2 here and 210
Scoobydoo said on 4/Nov/17
Between 185 /186 cm was his peak. Nowadays he seems still a strong 182 cm.
Barry Fl said on 4/Nov/17
@santgr

And on 29th October you stated "He looks nothing below 6ft1.5 (187 cm) which was his true peak height".

@santgr

Insult you? There was no insult in my words. That's not my style. If you found one then I can only - respectfully - suggest you were being a little overly sensitive, as well as taking this whole thing much too seriously. Let's not lose sight of the fact that we're all adults here arguing over the matter of a complete stranger's height. It's really not worth raising our blood pressure over.

But in your previous two posts you have talked yourself into knots. On 31st October you said "Rob I really think it's a time for a downgrade for his peak height to 184-185 cm" and then on 3 November "185.5 or 186 cm was his real height".

My guess He's about 6ft1.5 at morning in 70s,probaly he is 6ft0.75/6ft1 at evening, now he is a 5ft11 flat guy.

santgr said on 3/Nov/17
@Barry Fl - Where exactly did I say that Arnold was shorter than Reg Park or Dave Draper? Learn to read more carefully next time you decide you want to insult me. What I did say was that Arnold needs a downgrade to the full 6ft1 (6ft 0.5 is rather too short for him and out of question) 185.5 or 186 cm was his real height.
Barry Fl said on 3/Nov/17
santgr said on 31/Oct/17
Here are some more photos from the 1980 Mr Olympia (all three of them 100% straight lined up this time) and a rare photo next to 6ft1 Reg Park and 6ft Dave Draper. Rob I really think it's a time for a downgrade for his peak height to 184-185 cm.

Presumably the point you're trying to make is that Park and Draper were taller than Arnold. A simple Google search will bring up dozens of pictures where Arnold looks clearly taller than the 6ft Dave Draper. Any one of us can find a single picture to prove our point, but it does well to look around at the evidence before making up your own mind, rather than vice versa.

He does need his current height to be brought down to 5'11" (180cm) maybe Rob will give it to him as a christmas gift.
Its funny to read the comments on that post, many don't realise that Arnie is 70 years old, he could be Callum's grandfather not father haha.

@Rob If he was 6ft1 during that night (assuming Mr Olympia event was performed during night time) wouldn't that make him 6ft1.5 or 6ft1.25 during midday hours?
Editor Rob
he might have been 6ft 2 morning, maybe when Arnie got measured it was Busting a Gut...on another day he might have measured 6ft 1 and a little

I don't see clearly the numbers on measuring bar.
what's the height of Arnold?

*******************************

Arnie looks between 6´0.5"-6´0.75",

extremely forcing his posture and Busting a Gut I could see him passing 6´1"peak by a little.

Peak normal straight measurement max 185cm evening, 184cm possible

Today, can´t see him still avoiding to shrink under 5´11" evening

I wouldn't say that Arnold is 5 Foot 11 but I would personally say that he is about 6 Foot 0/6 Foot 1 on good days.
Although in his younger days in the 1980s I would of probably said that he was about 6 Foot 3 maybe even 6 Foot 4. Just a little that came to my mind.
Jim Hopper said on 29/Oct/17
@santgr All are in line!! No one is closer!!
Kurtz said on 29/Oct/17
Chris Dickerson is obviously "only" 15 cm. shorter than Arnie.
Frank Zane is not obviously closer to the camera, see the ground.
In that pic there is nothing that suggest anything above 185 cm for Schwarzy.
That pic suggest only how the quality of bodybuilding in these days became obscene. They were truly lengends.

Editor Rob
simply means breathing in and forcing your posture to absolute max. Some people might only get 2mm more, others could possibly get 1cm or so.

There's no way a middle aged arnold would measure up to dwayne johnson as well as he does here if he was as short as some are claiming, and for all we know Johnson is wearing thick wrestling boots:

Jim Hopper said on 26/Oct/17
@Barry FI. So you think Arnie by 52 had lost 1.5" inches???? The picture shows him at least that much shorter than Crews. So by your logic he must of lost that if he was REALLY 6.1,5" tall. {face palm}
Tim said on 26/Oct/17
Conclusion. Easier than you think and in my opinion close to the truth. It makes more sense:

Past: strong 6 footer walking with a great athletic posture who could pass as a 6'1 man
Nowdays:A 70 year old weak 5'11 Arnie walking with a bad posture that can look a strong 5'10 (but he is a weak 5'11)
houss said on 26/Oct/17
Bodybuilding really affecte on height , usually I wake-up at 185/184 and I go to bad at 183/182 but in the training days my evening heigh drop to 181/180,5

he was a strong 6'3 today is 6'2.5 no more. Arnold in his peak days hit 6 foot and quarter inch nothin over. 6'1 mornin if that! This is the truth. 2 inches on both is on movies get it guys?
Full agree man!
Tim said on 26/Oct/17
Barry Fl I guarantee 1.5 inch loss is more than you think. Is a lot of loss man, talking about height. Arnold has always been athletic with a fitness life style,stretcing, with his protein shakes.etcc 1'5 inch is about 4 cm. Just visual how how much is 1'5 inch with your fingers . At 70 is an average loss, of course there's people like Stallone who lost less height, others 4 inches because they have osteoarthritis. My grandma had osteoarthritis and loss 4 inches also she never been in a healthy life in her life never stretched. So Arnold no way lost more than 1'5 inch. I think he lost 1 inch at most. What people makes he lost more, is because you are looking to a 70 year Arnold walking rela in reality not in a movie in his youth. This is a big difference guys. Movies= beautiful, marketing. You can not compare an Arnold in the 90's being about 5'11.5 and maybe having some advantage for height in the movie. And now maybe you get surprised to see Arnold looking 5'10, but the truth he is a weak 5'11 today which is pretty tall for a 70 year old man. People understimate how much can be 1 inch. more than you think! Arnold being young at 6' wih a perfect posture can look much taller than a weak 5'11 Arnold looking 5'10 with a worse posture nowdays. Dont be afraid guys is life he is 70 and looking amazing. Arnold forever!
Johan said on 26/Oct/17
@Barry Fl


He was still 6'0 as late as 2010 next to Chris Eubank who Rob has met and confirmed as 5'10". So basically you are arguing with a guy who believes that Arnold lost nothing up until 2010+
Barry Fl said on 26/Oct/17
Tim said on 25/Oct/17
his proportions clearly always been from a 6 footer guy. He was a strong 6 footer 6'0.5 max in his peak for sure(184 cm) 187 cm coulb be a morning measurement with sneakers. also adding his hair and being muscular maybe he can pass for a string 6'1 in his peak but I'm sure and for all I've seen then he was in the 183-184 zone this is 6'0.25 to 6'0.5

But do you honestly think he could have lost so little height after all these decades, injuries, operations, wear & tear? To have lost 1 inch maximum by age 70?

This is easy. He can look in the 5'10 zone when he walks just because he is relax but the truth nowdays is 5'11 is he stands tall stretching for measurement. He was over 6' lets say 6'0.5 . Very symple..

For what it's worth Tim, and you've only got my word for it but he certainly wasn't stretching tall for measurement when I was standing near him. This was last month, at an event he did in England, and I was standing a couple of feet away from him for a good few minutes. He was taller than me, though I mentioned the illusion that he did look shorter from a distance because of his build. He's really not a small man, even at 70 years old.

Arnold is not exactly careful with his posture - seated or standing. I think he robs himself (visually) of a couple of inches at times.

@Kurtz. If Crews is 6-2" Arnie is just over 6-0" prime. Great picture

Prime? That was late 2000, promotion for the release of 'The Sixth Day'. Arnold was well into his mid 50s there. Hardly 'prime'.
Danimal said on 25/Oct/17
Rob, he seriously needs a downgrade. He's slightly over 5'10" today barefoot imo, but at least knock off a 1/2" and list at 5'11" for his current height.

Rob i bet today if you saw this guy in public in real life he would look very average height especially with his compressed build and posture.

Having seen Arnold close up, I agree. I put him at 5'11, but his very sturdy build does give him a "shorter" appearance than if he were slim.

@RichardSpain, Arnold isn't 182+ anymore. He's more 180-181 today.
Tim said on 21/Oct/17
Thanks for answer Rob.
However I think the 6'1.5 is over exagerate to high for Arnold. He never looked that tall to me. I'm with Jim Hopper. Full agree. I believe he was in the range of 6-0.5 to 6-0.75 top peak height. Now no more than 5-11" 184 to 185 morning makes more sense to me and more his looking in his 20's 6'1.5 with shoes possible

@Jim Hopper: matt may be estimating him at a Morning height like he does for himself. Matt is 5’10.75 out of bed which is 179. He’s more 177-178 if he dips to 5’10 flat. Morning height isn’t your real height

I truly believe Vince Basile's measurement of Arnold at 6'1.5
lm not a member at the Bodybuilding site Getbig but check in there once in a while to see whats going and Arnold's height
was a topic again there as well which Basile chimed in on once again. He claims he measured Arnold at 6'1.5. Basile really has no kind words for Arnold and could have easily down graded him over the years.
Arnold has shrunk for a variety of reasons.... I believe his peak height was 6'1.5 and Rob has him about right at 5'11.5 now
Tim said on 20/Oct/17
Rob do you still think 100% he was that tall?
Editor Rob
I can't ignore the measurement...the question might be, was it totally accurate, could it have been a fraction off? Was Arnie Busting a Gut?
Tim said on 20/Oct/17
jervis 80% agree. Clint 6'3 peak morning Arnold 6'1 peak morning
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Oct/17
He may very well have measured 6ft1¾ earlier in the day and cleared 6ft2 first thing. I'm sorry but a flat 6ft1 for Arnie is an injustice.

Watch Pumping Iron. He edged out Mike Katz (claimed 6ft2 but was really 6ft1) and easily over 1in taller than 6ft Ken Waller.

Imagine to see Arnie and the Rock at birth in sane pic...

@ Sangr
So you have a margin of error of 3 mm.

Please guys the pics and footages speak for theirself: Arnie 181-183 cm. @ peak
The Rock is a clear 186-188 cm. and never lost a mm. till now.
Clint was 186-187 max and now barely 180 cm. the only who really shrunck for the age.

People like Celebheights are lost. Wake up heights are boosted. Regular people also lie about their own heights. 80% will say and think they are 1 inch taller than they are. Of cours I said Clint Easwtood was 6'2.5- 0'75 morning in his prime, and Arnold 6'0.25. Lots of pics and testimonies are showing is true what I say. You should also learn what's a real height. A medical measurement. Arnold in 1970 was described as a strong 5'11 weak 6 footer, I can not give more than 6'0.25-0.5 to Arnold. I've watched all his movies same as Clint Eastwood , big fan of both and height guesser and for what I seen and listen from people and pictures that's my opinion. There are still some who think like me. Awake, smart people that think by themselves and not believe everything in this fake world. Legits 6'4 tower Clint by at least 1 inch and legits 6'2 even weak 6'2 tower also Arnold. Lou Ferrigo was a stroong 6'3 no 6'5. You can search info and listed in celebheights with Rob. Today Lou is 6'2.No way was 6'5 exaggerate marketing lol. He was stromg 6'3 and he tower Arnold by 3 inches. In Comando he looks 182 cm or 5'11.75.-weak 6'. He is 1'5 inch on Vernon a strong 5'10 close to 5'10.75 in his prime

No, you said that Clint Eastwood was 6'2 1/2" in his prime (you never specified morning, LOL!). Now you're implying that you think that he was 187 CM in the evening in his prime (which is even more of a joke)? Arnold Schwarzenegger was a legit 187 CM in his prime, and he was always a towering tall guy on screen (and in photos). He didn't even appear shorter than Jim Carrey did back in 90s.

As a strong 6 footer guy (184 cm) myself there's nothing more in the world I would wish for than Arnold my idol and hero being the same height as me but after comparing thousands of photos and video footage I have come to the conclusion that Rob's listing is perfect. Peak height for Arnold was 6ft 1.75 (187 cm). Lowest I could possibly believe is 6ft 1.5 (186.7cm)
Tim said on 18/Oct/17
I'm tired people always say the excuse of shrinking 3-4 inches on Clint or Arnold. Healthy and strong guys please. They just have a worse posture but stop saying they shrank 3 and 4 inches that's ridiculous. Arnold was maybe a strong 6' and today 5'10.75 this is reality.

Legits 6'4 tower Clint by at least 1 inch and legits 6'2 even weak 6'2 tower also Arnold. Lou Ferrigo was a stroong 6'3 no 6'5. You can search info and listed in celebheights with Rob. Today Lou is 6'2.No way was 6'5 exaggerate marketing lol. He was stromg 6'3 and he tower Arnold by 3 inches. In Comando he looks 182 cm or 5'11.75.-weak 6'. He is 1'5 inch on Vernon a strong 5'10 close to 5'10.75 in his prime

I wander why the difference in height btwn Arnie and the Rock is always the same in the years.
Has Arnie really shrunk?

They have only been pictured together since Arnold was already into his 50s. He'd certainly lost some height by then, and seemingly a little more since then. I imagine if you'd seen The Rock next to a 20 or 30 year old Arnold, it would show a little more.

Thats good if he was 6foot1 barefoot at his peak. I thought he was like 6foot1.5.

Its near my height, With good shoes with shoe lift im 6foot1.

Celebheights 6'1.5 said on 18/Oct/17
@Tim People who are 16 can easily still grow 2.5"-3" inches. 5'11.75" for his peak is completely ridiculous, and the same goes for 6'0 1/4". I've noticed that you also believe that Clint Eastwood was only 6'2 1/2" in his peak (and 6'3" out of bed???)? Lol...

an inch shrunk is more than what you think he just has a bad posture not like in Termiantor or in his prime he shrank a bout 1 inch. Just an excuse of 3 to say he was 6'2
Tim said on 17/Oct/17
At 16 he was 5'10.75,(180 cm) At 18 years old he was described to be 185 cm this is 6'0.75. You are dreaming if you think he kept growing and also knowing he had a mature development growing and gaining muscle. So let's say 6'0.75 is the absolute peak he hit in his best day. In my opinion his average measurement was 183 cm 184 maxx

I don't think many here would argue about Arnold being 5'11 these days. But to say 'with luck he was 6 foot in 1970' is to suggest that he has not lost any height (or at best a fraction of an inch) since then. That's fairly hard to swallow.

@Jim Hopper

Your crazy, 6foot at his peak is way too short, He always looked taller very taller than guys.

My guess he was around 6foot1 on the dot barefoot, Give 0.5 inch in either direction.

6foot0.5 was too short also. He stand his own againts 6foot2 guys. Which for 6foot barefoot would look noticeably shorter.

Im sure that during the day on his peak, he was 6foot1 during the day. He may have been 6foot1.5 out of bed and 6foot1 during the day, and 6foot0.75 at night.

6foot is ridiculous, he was way taller than 6foot. Above 6foot1.5 is impossible for him.

6foot1 is very precise, and its tall, when your 6foot1 barefoot you make average height man looking short.

Did look relatively similar to Evander there and we all know he is 2 inches shorter than him today. So about the same as a 6'1" guy in 96'. The angle isn't great there when he passes Dolph but it does seem to be 3 inches. Dolph was still 6'4" at the time so again I can't see Arnie being over 6'1" after seeing that.

He was 185 in his 20's (6'1) not more but not less.He is a full 182 nowadays.(5'11.50). Is old! People who have seen him here in my country say he is 182 people tought he was taller.

Around 20 years ago in an interview of a famouse spanish magazine journalist said he is 184 I remember it I have good memory.

He has lost exactly exactly 3 cm, guys..

So in tne 80-90's was 182'5-184 cm peak max was 184'5 (6'0.75) what do you need more? I'm so good guessing height and this is amking sense he maybe hit 6'1 first hours morning in his peak days. Also He always look to me strong 6 footer maybe weak 6'1 in his 20's in all pics proofs this, and also testimonies from so much people. Finally I'm 100% sure he was on the 184 range in his peak (6'0.75)

The one thing that bugs me is Basille said he measured Arnie in the evening at 6'1.5" and then in 2008, Arnie says he WAS 6'1.75". That made me think it's possible Arnold measured that perhaps around noon or late morning. But he does look more 186 cm than 187 at times. But why make up the 6'1.75"?

Vince himself has stated that he believes Arnold could well have been 6'2" in the morning.

Tim said on 4/Oct/17
Today He is 5'11 for sure. 7 cm shrunk? come on guys... 6'0.75 makes sense and is the max height he always looked which is still very tall

Believe me Tim, I've known men shorter than Arnold who've lost 2 inches by their mid to late 60s. It definitely can happen. Plus Arnold's had loads of ops that we know about and don't - knee surgery, hip replacements (I think?), broken legs. I'm not totally convinced by the argument that bodybuilding causes extra height loss, but that's a theory too. Keep in mind that people think of 'early Arnold' as being in his 80s and 90s movies. By then he was in his 40s and looked to have lost at least an inch by that time already. If we talk of his peak height we have to think of him in his 20s, before he became a big star.

However as Barry Fl say I agree:
6'1.5 for his public image and heroic imagen in movies so people always expecting a giant. It woul be more realistic he was less than that and for me It was. I've always been a big fan and he always looked to me 184-185 tops. This is not a full 6'1 but a 6'0.75 which is 6'1.5 with sneakers. I think this mark is more realistic and fair for Arnold. Today He is 5'11 for sure. 7 cm shrunk? come on guys... 6'0.75 makes sense and is the max height he always looked which is still very tall
Barry Fl said on 4/Oct/17
Tim said on 2/Oct/17
Vince Basille said that ok. I don't care. It's not ebough for me. He was his friend, maybe he raised his height for marketing or whatever.

Vince Basille was no friend of Arnold's. I think he was pleased with himself to even be able to knock a fraction of an inch off Arnold's purported 6'2".
Editor Rob
I doubt Vince was limp wristed when positioning the stadiometer bar on Arnie's head.
Barry Fl said on 4/Oct/17
Personally, I'm inclined to believe the Vince Basille measurement - but I also believe it's the tallest Arnold ever was. His public image - due to his muscularity and heroic image in movies - was larger than life, which led to people always expecting a giant. He never was, and his (at times) rather lax posture does him no favours (nor his habit of hanging around incredibly large friends like Ralf Moeller!). I'm dead-on 5'10 and have been close enough to see he's an inch taller than me (discounting his hair). But he's very thick, solid-built, and this stocky look perhaps creates an illusion that he's shorter than he is. Please don't believe the extreme claims that he was less than 6 foot in his youth, (I just can't see that as feasible given the size he is now) or is 5'9 now.
Editor Rob
maybe we could say the Basille measurement was one in which Arnie really busted a gut.

I doubt Englund's sneakers were less than Converse(0.6"), but I agree he was 5'9" in his prime so Arnold looked about a solid 6'1" there to me.

@loka: I'm pretty sure I remember Carl saying he and Arnold were about the same height. I remember thinking Arnold was slightly taller when he said that, but I'll have to search to make sure my memory is accurate, though. Maybe someone else remembers this?
Tim said on 3/Oct/17
6'1 is maybe possible but noway over 6'1. Some poeple here still saying over 6'1 even 6'1.5 that's hilarous
Pierre said on 3/Oct/17
if Robert Englund was 5"9' peak(so around 5"9.5' in his flat sneakers) Arnold could look up to 6"0.5'(see the video/comments i posted 27 and 28 August 17).
Barry Fl said on 3/Oct/17
This is turning into 'he was never over 6 foot' / 'yes he was' back and forth. Most people here have never even seen Arnold in real life, far less measured him. Some people need to remember this, and that your point of view is only that - and should hopefully be based on reason, not just the unscientific words of others who you agree with. I have seen Arnold in real-life, close-up, in recent years. He's easily 5'11 now. I have no problem believing he was 6'1 once upon a time. Do I know for certain? No. But if we're going to say something, let's say more than just 'he was never such-a-height, end of story'. Especially silly when you're doing it to the nearest quarter inch. Come on, guys. Better to say nothing.

Have you been there to see it with your own eyes?Vince Basille said that ok. I don't care. It's not ebough for me. He was his friend, maybe he raised his height for marketing or whatever. You can see he doen't look that tall. Moos of people here say not over 6'1. 187 cm is very tall. If he was that tall. I'm sure everyone would say he was 190 cm or 6'3.. It's obvioss he was 183,5-185 range
Loka said on 2/Oct/17
To Tim : ask Vince Basille and Rob. Arnold was 187 cm at peak.

Clearly he was never over 6'0.75 in his best day in his peak

to Rising : did Carl weathers talk about Arnold's height ? What did he say ? Where ?
Loka said on 30/Sep/17
I'm talking about arnold's peak height. He was 6ft 1.5. So 187 cm.
But the ultimate warrior was taller in a pic where we see them together. So the warrior was probably a real and strong 6ft2 in the 80's.
Rising - 174 cm said on 30/Sep/17
@Jim Hopper: By that logic, why would Robert Patrick, Vince Basille and Carl Weathers lie? All have said Arnold is 6'1" or 6'2". William Wisher even described Arnold as 6'3"! It's not about lying. They're guesses, except apparently in the case of Basille, who it's still possible made an error. An estimate in itself can't be argued as proof since there'd be enormous contradictions. Ultimately, there has to be something to support it.
Jim Hopper said on 30/Sep/17

There's empirically scientific evidence backing up man's average height loss post 30 years old. It's highly unlikely that us as human's are impervious to gravity and the toll it takes on our vertebrae over time. Rising, you of all people having been on here almost as long as I've been know that.

Danimal, there's no evidence to say EVERYONE MUST lose x amount of height by a certain age. That't not what an average is. Again, Rob will confirm his father was still about the 5'10" he always was at age 64 or around there. I'm also pretty certain Rob's father had only shrunk from 5'10" to 5'8.5" by age 79-80 as opposed to the average of 2" in that survey you're always mentioning. Rob can correct me if I was slightly off on one of these details, but the main point being that Rob's own father lost less than the average and didn't start shrinking until into his 60's. Some do shrink much earlier, but I posted a link in response to you that used the same data as the other survey and made a point of emphasizing wide variability by stating some only shrink after 60 or 70 and rare cases don't shrink at all. I don't know about the latter as I'd think it'd depend on how long you live, but I can see the wide variation in height loss. You know Arnold is a prime example. The average at his age is 1.2" as you know and for arguments sake, let's say Arnold has lost 2" as Rob lists him as losing. That means if the sample size were 2, there'd have to be someone who only lost 0.4" to arrive at an average of only 1.2" with Arnold losing 2". The fact you think Arnold has lost 3" only supports my point further. Now if you took the numbers the way you're using them as a minimum then with Arnold as one of the sample size of two then that would mean the average would be 1.6" as you'd have to add 1.2" to Arnold's 2" loss and then divide the 3.2" total by two to arrive at the average. As you can see to have those who lose much more than average (e.g., Arnold, Hogan, Dolph, Rock, Clint etc.), you must have those who lose much less than average(Weathers, Sly, Kurt Russell, Shatner, Chuck Norris)

It's no different from the fact that with the average American man being approximately 5'9"(rounded down for simplicity), the fact you have 6'0" men means there must also be 5'6" men. Same thing with the fact that with life expectancy for American men at 76 it means that because there are men who die around age 58, there must also be men who die at 94 years old.

There is no empirical evidence that says ALL men must have shrunk by 64, much less ALL men must have shrunk an inch. The average isn't particularly relevant to President Bush, who Rob agrees hadn't lost much, if anything by that point.

About "ultimate warrior peak height". We talk about it beacause we have a Pic of him with Arnold where he is taller(maybe 2 cm). Sting said that warrior was taller than him and he is. I have several pics from their beginning.

See here : Click Here Warrior has 1 cm on Sting.

About Texas Tornado, there are other Pics of him and The Warrior which show no difference or 1 cm for The Tornado over The Warrior. See there : Click Here or there : Click Here

What is the real height of Texas Tornado ? Some say 188 cm, other say 190 cm. Very hard to say.
At the end of the day, if you give only a weak 187 cm (peak) to the Warrior, you have to explain the fact that he's taller than Arnold with 2 cm. You have to explain why he is only 7 cm shorter than Hogan in Wrestlemania 6 (1990).

I don't buy the heels explanation. Unless you have some proof that he did wear these in some occasions.

My theory is that Warrior was a strong 188 cm at peak. He lost about 4 cm at the end of his Life like many wrestlers or Bodybuilders. He had difficulty to walk during his hall of fame introduction in 2014. Damaged were done to his Body.

It's an assumption Bush would have lost height by age 63-64. I don't think Bush had lost any height by that time or even until several years later. Bush measured up well to tall men like 6'3.5" Christopher Reeve and 6'2" gene Hackman.

@HeightcrazyRed6ft said on 26/Sep/17
lowest peak evening i could believe is 184cm/6´0.5", but imo 185cm or just under 6´1" is the real height.

I highly doubt a 182cm/5´11.75" measurement during T2, not impossible but I see a 184 guy during this time.

today 179-180cm
Rising - 174 cm said on 26/Sep/17
@santgr: Rob can attest to the fact that his father was still at his peak height of 5'10" at 64 years old. But Arnold did always look a bit shorter than presumed 6'2" men, though he also seemed at least as tall, possibly a bit taller than men believed to be 6'1" such as Weathers, Tom Arnold and Roger Moore.

@Canson: You're right that they both could be lying, but we know more about Basille and who he is, plus, even you're own estimate of near 6'1" peak is closer to Basille's claim than this other guy. I think we can at least conclude a few things. Even if Basille was being truthful, there's always a possibility the height scale wasn't completely accurate as Rob's own stadiometer measures 1/8" taller. We can also conclude that if Basille lied, his only motive would be to get attention since it's safe to say he really doesn't like Arnold and would have no reason to support his height claim, otherwise, Basille wouldn't put a story out there that suggests Arnold is basically a rapist. But if Basille is lying, why would he come up with 6'1.5"? A figure farther from Arnold's claim would make a better story and would obviously be less favorable to Arnold -- a man Basille dislikes.

Btw, is it just me or did Robert Davi look taller than Arnold in Raw Deal? It's been years since I've seen the film -- I think the last time was a VHS copy -- so maybe I'm misremembering, but I could sware Arnie look a bit shorter.
Pierre said on 26/Sep/17
Picture Loka on 23/Sept/17=i don't know with Ultimate Warrior,the angle is special.Arnold seem to be a lot closer to the camera and a lot back to the camera,his head seem to look upward and Ultimate to look downward, which can make me think Ultimate is taller.I think Ultimate Warrior is logically taller than him by considering the position of their heads when they talk
Jim Hopper said on 26/Sep/17
@loka. Texas tornado was legit 6-2". You think warrior is also?? Nope. Try again 6-1" in truth Click Here
Canson said on 26/Sep/17
@Editor Rob: that's where the complexity comes in because in 1978 I could actually still believe Clint to be a legit 6'3 (not sure how I feel about 6'3.5 at least then. But don't know how I really feel about 5'11.75 for Arnold in 1991. That seems low for him then. But if he's only 5'11 today that is possible. He beat his body up badly so that's possible consistent with body builders So maybe he was already on a down slide by that point who knows. The only one who I cannot see having lost significant height as a bodybuilder st his current age is Ralph Moeller who still looks a legit 196 possibly 196-197 guy and for sure was that height in the peak
Canson said on 25/Sep/17
@Rising: for peak height I don't believe he was only 182 but as far as credibility goes I don't know which to believe
Canson said on 25/Sep/17
@MJKOP: I don't know what to make of that article. I only mentioned it because I came across it so to say it is or isn't credible is very tough and really can go either way. Maybe he had lost some height by that point. But I have a relative who met Arnold in the 70s or 80s and they were the same height according to him. He said he too was 6'1" peak now don't know if that's a true 6'1" or if he was just strong 6'0". I pegged Arnold at 184-185 peak before. As for more credible than basile that remains to be seen. They could both be lying and neither measured him

@grizz: he may have been 184-185 peak or maybe a full 6'1". I wouldn't go any higher tho.

I don't believe that guy for a second that Arnie was 182 cm in 1991. That reminds me of this commercial: Click Here

It's fair to question Basille as well -- though he's more credible than an anonymous poster on a forum -- but keep in mind, Basille spoke of how he felt vindicated when Arnold's affair became public as he had claimed previously that Arnold pretty much raped a girl back in the 70s. Let's not get into Arnold's personal life, I only mention this to ask, is this a guy who would lie to make Arnold taller? It would do much less harm to Arnold to say he was 6'0" for example rather than saying he's a sexual predator!

I think Arnold peak height may have been 6foot1 on the dot Barefoot.

One thing for sure hes was between 6'0.5 too 6'1.5 at his peak. Not under this and Not over that. Its a 1inch to play with.

I see as 6'0.5 too short and 6'1.5 Too tall, So he may have been 6foot1.

Anyway i still think he was 6'1. Very good height, Taller than average man(5foot9) He tower 5foot9 guys on old pictures.

If you look at all his bodybuilding pictures he was barefoot in those most of the time.

I disagree Red, I only see 3cm max between Arnie and Bush snr there. So lowest he could have been was 185 cm.

He for sure cleared 6'2" in shoes, he has a massive collection of cowboyboots, would have been almost 6'3" in those.

Rob there seems to be quite a few amount of people who think Arnold's peak height was 6ft0.5 (184 cm). I have posted some photos that lead me to the same conclusion. Do you really think there's no chance of him being anything close to that in his younger days?
Editor Rob
I haven't seen enough evidence to go with a flat 6ft 1 arnold, let alone a 6ft 0.5 peak Arnold...but I can certainly appreciate how some estimate him 6ft - 6ft 1 range, because on some occasions he could look it!
Jake said on 22/Sep/17
I'm 5'11.5" measured barefoot at the doctor's office. I met Arnold in 2006 when I was 25 years old at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. I got to stand face to face with him and shake his hand. I was wearing thick heeled Harley Davidson motorcycle boots and Arnold was wearing his cowboy boots so it's hard to say if there was a height advantage either way. I felt that he was at least an inch to an inch and a half taller than me. I really can't see him being anything less than 6'1" at his peak and would say he probably was at least 6'1.25" peak.
Ali said on 22/Sep/17
5'10 to 5'11 max. Same height as Rolando Dantes, Has always worn lifts to appear taller.

Roger Moore at 6'1 is a joke. Moore was 2-3 inches shorter than 6'1.5 Sean Connery. Moore

he claimed to have been 6 ft 2 whereas so called "insiders" claim he is only 5 ft 10 or "noticeably under 6 feet" which I seriously doubt, in any case I think he could easily pass as taller than he is because of his "sizeable frame" which short or average people usually do not have.
Tim said on 20/Sep/17
If Arnold was a real 6'1.5 barefoot without including his hair means he looked over 6'2 in movies. You trying to say that? I think is a good joke, because it means he was almost 6'2.5 wih sneakers. He was 6'1.25 with his sneakers talking about a real medical measurement please..

@Pierre: I never said pictures are absolute proof. Quite the contrary. I don't think the example you pic for Perry is the best, but if your point is that Perry can look shorter than he is so he may have been looking shorter with Arnold, I get that and it's a valid to an extent as Perry does slouch and can look only about 5'8.5" at times because of that. But that photo of Luke and Green isn't great, nor do we know what footwear they had while my pic of Arnold and Luke is a straighter angle, plus we do know what footwear they had and if anything, Luke's footwear looked thicker than Arnold's. But even if we say Luke would look more 5'8.5" with Arnold due to his slouch, Arnold looks at least 4.5" taller so he is not looking less than 6'1" there.

But the best evidence to me is Arnold with similar height men in that 6'1" range. Arnold usually looked taller or at least as tall as 6'1" men back in his prime. It's not one comparison or one photo to me, but quite a few comparisons that when combined is too compelling for me to believe Arnold was not at least 6'1".

He didnt look like a 6foot2 guy. But more of a 6foot1,6foot1.5 guy. 6foot2 was too tall, When you reach 6foot2 you become to look too lanky.

Not quite that simple, Matt. You find short lanky people and you also find very tall stocky people. It's a huge and misleading generalisation to say that all tall people look lanky, or you can tell their height from their proportions or build.

Has Arnold shrunk? Yes he has. It's obvious he was tall and above 6 foot in his prime. But you are all forgetting a few things. He's 70 now so his spine most definately has shrunk and compressed. He has also had hip replacements, and it quite common to lose a few inches in some cases. This happened to Lou Feriggno also, he shrunk a couple of inches after surgery.
