@Rob, what do you think- would Arnold still be 6ft tall had he not joined the dark force, I mean, politics?

Editor Rob he kept lifting heavy for many decades, it has to take a toll. Plus, his cigar habit might effect his body in ways some bodybuilders don't...

Editor Rob very unlikely to have lift, well more than 1cm really in a shoe like that.

@lothar there's absolutely no way Arnie is or ever was 5'8. I think today he's probably still 6 foot. there's a photo of him with the hodgetwins (both around 6'2, though one is a bit taller than the other) and he holds up quite well
Click Here it's not the best photo to go by as the angle's a bit funny and you can't see what shoes they're wearing, but as a general reference i think it does ok

Rob do you think Arnie today is a solid 181cm night like 181-181.2cm night and is 181.5cm/5'11.5 at 1pm

Editor Rob in a relaxed state, sometimes he can look barely 180, but measure him and I do think he will clear over the 5ft 11 mark. How much is the question!

A lot of people have mentioned him next to George Bush Sr. I have a picture of myself next to George Bush senior in 1991. I was at my absolute best 6'1". I was the same height or even a little taller than him in the picture. I figure he was 6"1" at the time (probably was about 6"2" in his younger days.

Must say estimations and opinions on arnold is pribably the most under or over estimated of any celebrity on this fun sight. Yes personally i am.pro Arnold fir various reasons. That asside, i dont think he was much above 6'1" at his peak or under 5 '11" today if strecthed fully. He can appear 5'10"ish at times due to bad posture. I think if you reckon he was much over 6'1" peak or reckons much under 5'11" today you probably have persoonal motives to try boost or degrade the man. On a pwrsonal note, what we think of the man is not important. But it is a fact that he reached all of his proffessional goals he set for hisself, however bad or good he was at it.

Nemo is about right with those figures. But I can't see him as less than 6'2" peak. I believe he woke up at at least 6'3" or a hair over and due to his immense mass, shrunk down to maybe 6'1.75" after a long, rigorous day of working out. That's right, since Vince Basille didn't like him very much, I believe he deprived Arnold of as much height as he could without it costing him his own credibility. 6'1.5" is the barest of bare minimums Arnold could've measure before bedtime during his prime years. I do have a strong hunch that Arnold came up as 6'2" on the stadiometer and Vince knocked a half inch off out of spite, just so he'd be technically correct about Arnold NOT measuring a legit 6'2" as he had claimed.

That story's either fake(like 95% of the other stories on here) or you're terrible at estimating heights. You seriously thought Arnold was only 5'9"?
On-topic: I'd say that Arnold is currently at least 181 cm, or at most 183.

If you go on various bodybuilding sites, that still treat Arnold like royalty, you'll find entire threads devoted to his billed height vs. his real height. As far back as the 1970's, paying customers who attended his 'bodybuilding seminars' estimated his height at five foot ten or eleven. Peak.

And I agree with you, Danimal, that Arnie is five eleven MAX today (and probably struggles to reach that), but I disagree with you that he was ever six one. The IFBB program is no different than Jim McMahon's wrestling program. These are 'facts' for fools designed to put fans in the stands. They are in show business, not the accuracy business. But then again, the fans of wrestling and bodybuilding seek entertainment, not truth.

@Nick,the reason why I don't seem him anything over 6'1 at peak is his photo with Bush Sr.-a legit,strong 6'2 guy that clearly had an inch over Arnold.
Arnold seemed to be sub-6ft from 2005-in every photo with Bush Jr.(who's 5'11) Arnold never has a clear inch over him-sometimes 0.75,while sometimes as low as 0.5in.
IMO,for Arnold :
1965-1990 -6'1
1990-1995 -6'0.75

@Nick, Carl Weathers and Arnold looked about the same in Predator. Perhaps Arnie slighlty edged him out by wearing military boots.
And I agree that his weight-to-waist ratio is impossible for sub6ft guy.
He was 6ft1 peak height,maybe even 6ft1.25, but nothing above that mark.

I think it's really tough to tell Arnie's current height. Given the frequent boost of his footwear (fifty pairs of cowboy boots, he admitted to owning in a recent interview?), it's true conjecture. As to his peak height, we'll never know. The word of another bodybuilder from 40 years ago doesn't exactly qualify as the gold standard of veracity. As for Arnold's own word, "He's an actor. If it's any consolation, he really means it when he says it!" to paraphrase the movie, Sideways.

This is YouTube sensation Lloyd Ahlquist with Schwarzenegger at a very recent photo-op event. Lloyd is listed on Google as 5'6" and, in comparison, Arnold looks taller than Lloyd's 6'0" listed business partner Peter Alexis Shukoff. I doubt Peter is lying about his height, as he clearly is NOT a short dude, and Arnold appears to have more height on Lloyd than Peter does. Maybe if I'm feeling motivated later I'll create and upload a composite picture complete with a horizontal line going from head to head.

If Arnold's own estimation of his height is used as 'evidence' of his height, then that calls into question his ability to discern fact from fiction. If, over a lifetime, he has shown an ability to, shall we say, 'gild the lily,' then that consistency when it comes to playing make-believe for a living is hardly a basis on which to set the bar when it comes to the veracity of his height. No one is saying Arnold is five foot six. But an awful lot of people have seen enough photos to believe he could not have had a straight face when he declared himself 'six foot two.'

This is a picture of both Sergio Oliva and Arnold side by side from the 1972 Mr. Olympia. If that looks like 2 inches to you then you need to get your eyes checked.
Besides, Oliva was not 5'9". The lowest he has been given, is 5'10". Although, there were reports of him as high as 5'10.5".
Arnold was famous for trying to dominate Sergio Oliva with his towering height. You clearly know nothing about 70s bodybuilding.

I just saw a few minutes of Arnold in the movie Commando, and I was struck by how slow and clumsy he was. This man couldn't have run a hundred yards in under two days. He would have had to have hired a stuntman to dance at his wedding. And yet, because he looks athletic, nobody seems to notice what a klutz he was.
Also, he is the only movie star I can think of who really couldn't act. Elvis Presley and Clint Eastwood and Marilyn Monroe were all better actors then Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Nick has a valid point. If Arnold was 6ft or less peak, there's no way he'd be so lean and diced up at 250lbs. He had to be closer to 6ft2 in order to go onstage with a 32in waist while carrying that weight.

His NFL football career puts him at the same height. Moreover, when Carl Weathers was asked about Arnold's height in the Predator movie, he said Arnold was "about the same height as himself".
Here are "Predator" pictures of 6'1" Carl Weathers with Arnold. Arnold was slightly taller than Carl Weathers in "Predator". With Carl Weathers consist with how Arnold (as the pictures below) looked a strong 6'2" next to Jesse Ventura, he looked 6'2" next to Carl Weathers as well.

Arnold was 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" peak and shrunk down to around 5'11.5". Sometimes I get a sneaking suspicion he is now a flat 5'11" with all of the surgeries he has had due to the skiing accidents and the hip replacement surgeries, but he still appears to be in the 5'11.5" range.

Arnold was 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" peak and shrunk down to around 5'11.5". Sometimes I get a sneaking suspicion he is now a flat 5'11" with all of the surgeries he has had due to the skiing accidents and the hip replacement surgeries, but he still appears to be in the 5'11.5" range.

Rob,
How tall do you think the big guys in this pic are? Arnold might have some shoe advantage here.

He was only an 2 inches taller than Sergio Olivia who was an honest 5'9" barefoot.
----------------------------------
A statement like that shows how credible your statement is.
This is a picture of both Sergio Oliva and Arnold side by side from the 1972 Mr. Olympia. If that looks like 2 inches to you then you need to get your eyes checked.
Besides, Oliva was not 5'9". The lowest he has been given, is 5'10". Although, there were reports of him as high as 5'10.5".
Arnold was famous for trying to dominate Sergio Oliva with his towering height. You clearly know nothing about 70s bodybuilding.
This is a typical pose where Arnold is stretching his back out to bring his full height in order to dominate a much shorter Sergio Oliva

There is at least 3.5 inches between Arnold and Sergio Oliva

Arnold Schwarzenegger's competition measurements from 1968 Mr. Universe measurement log. Arnold was 21 years old at that time. This is before he moved to the US and was still living in Munich, Germany where he ran a gym.
Common sense tells you, only a tall man could weigh 254 pounds and at the same time have only a very lean 32 inch waist. I have training the gym for many years and weigh 185 pounds at 5'11" and have only 12% body fat. I even have a 33 inch waist. Most of today's short bodybuilders who are 5'8" or 5'9" and weigh 250 pounds have 38 - 39 inch waists.
Arnold always modestly says he used to weigh 240 - 245 pounds in competition in interviews. However, in fact he had weighed over 250 pounds for several competitions including the 1971 Mr Olympia when he weighed in at 251.8 lbs, but Arnold modestly says "240 - 245 pounds" since that is how much he weighed later in the 1973 - 1975 Mr Olympia when he focused more on proportions, conditioning and definition with less emphasis on size.
Remember, as per the rules, all of the competitors back in the day were measured. This log was created once all of the competitors were measured.

Sometimes 182, sometimes 183, but not 184, since Obama is 185.5.
182-183 is good for him today.
186-187 at peak.

I don't think Arnold's peak height is much of an issue 6'1.5"-6'1.75" midday/evening, but I saw a strange old newspaper article where it had a full body shot of Arnold and Brigitte Nielsen(has claimed both 6' and 6'1", listed here at 6') and the caption said "Arnold Schwarzenegger is no taller than Brigitte Nielsen and he didn't look any taller in the picture. They were in costume for Red Sonja.

I can't understand why it's said that Arnie today is under 6 feet.
Next to David Cameron he is closer to 184 cm than at 182 cm.
Click Here

To me, it's just a matter of good or bad posture.
In fact, next to Cameron he is in good posture and can still hit 6'0.5".
Most likely, 5'11.5" is possible yes, but at his lowest and especially when he is in a bad posture, but not in good posture.

@Henrik:
True. Eastwood has always had the legs too long compared to the torso and so not proportionated. And he also lost more height than Arnold.
However, imo, he was never 193 cm at the peak, perhaps 187-188 cm max and the proof of this are the pictures next to Arnold where they are basically eye to eye with Eastwood in his 50s, so not far from his peak.

Look how much longer Arnie's neck was before he started to get compressed.

Ok, but you can not make comparisons like that. First of all, the picture is angled, taken from the top and so a little difficult to get an accurate measurement.
Second, Wilt is slightly closer to the camera than Arnold and third, they are not side by side.
So I see it hard to make a comparison reliable under these conditions.

It looks like Wilt would gain at least an inch if he straightened out like Arnold. It's only one pic but the height difference is pretty significant.

Yes, Lucio, it's true that most people lose .75-1 inch throughout a day. You forget though, 50% of the lost morning height goes on the first 2 hours out of bed, the editor made his point in his height fluctuation, and I've experience the phenomenon myself. So by noon most people are near their low height, and the difference from noon to night is small, 1/8 in. Can be slight more if the person is in intense activity, like long sport game, lifting, but the fluctuation won't be that big compare to early morning
Hmm I don't know if the majority thinks Arnie was just strong 6'1 at peak, but the listed height holds up pretty well, right on between 6'1 and 6'2. So I guess it can go either mark, but I think at peak Arnie would lean closer to 6'2, seeing him with people w/ legit height
--------------------
I agree, most of the height is lost between the morning and noon, I checked on myself the phenomenon: between noon and evening there is very little difference, perhaps less than half of inch.
However, I still think that at peak Arnie should be around 186 cm during the day and maybe 185 cm in the evening. At least that's the impression that I get from Pumping Iron next to a strong 6'1" Mike Katz, as listed in many sources (he is listed also 6'2" on some site, but I think it's wrong). And besides, he was almost always barefoot throughout the whole movie.
Strong 6'1" to me it means very close to 186 cm.
For Clint Eastwood, I do not know. Maybe he was really 6'4" at peak. You see, I would like there was a picture of a young Clint Eastwood next to Arnold to see the difference, but I know it's hard.
But it is also true that next to 6'2" George Bush Sr., he is about an inch shorter and this confirms the possibility that he was more 186 cm rather than 188 cm.

I'm pretty sure Eastwood is in his 60's there. Clint wasn't 6'2" max at his peak. That's pretty ridiculous. He could have been closer to 6'2" by the mid 90's (when I believe that picture with Arnold was taken), but in the 60's and 70's, he was definitely around 6'4".
As for Arnold, his height can look to vary quite a bit, but in the last year or so, he looks like he's lost a little more height, I'd say 6'0", and I can see why some are saying he's a little under 6'.

In my opinion, the measurement made by Vince Basille albeit in good faith, must not be very good one, because:
according to the measurement, he would have been 6'1.5" (186.69 cms) in the afternoon, when we all know that in the evening we are all shorter than a couple of centimeters.
But if the measurement refers to the afternoon, then this it means that during the day he was at least a full 6'2" (188 cm) and the thing which is not possible because we all know that he has never been a full 6'2", but rather closer to the measure of 186 cm during the day.
And again, if he was 6'1.5" in the afternoon, then out of bed and in the morning he would been 6'2.5", which is highly unlikely.
I believe that Basille has not simply well leaned the measurement bar to contact of the Arnie's head and this is the reason why it's coming off a measure of an half of inch more.

Lucio, Eastwood was a legit 6'4'ers, look at him next to 6'3.5 Donald Sutherland. Arnold is more than flat 6'1 at peak. Agree, he edges out flat 6'1'ers like Tom Arnold and Carl Weathers, but got edge out by strong 6'2 guys like Bush Sr and James Cameron. The 6'1.5 measurement is as accurate as it get. To me this guy is at peak up to the mid 90s, late 90s 186 cm, early 2000s 184-185 cm, 2005-2011 183-184 cm, and this year no more than 183, maybe a smidge under. Still think he's a decent 6 ft. Believe it or not, and this is fact, that people do shrink at different rate. It's shocking to see big shrinking yeah, but it can and will happen to people, it's genetic. Unfortunately for Arnold his spine is most vulnerable to aging. See guys like Stallone, and you'll be amaze how his spine holds up to aging

I love Arnold and his work.
I had the honor of visiting Stan Winston Studios back in the 90's and they had a lifesize full body casting (to be used to fit costume pieces for the Mr. Freeze" role in Batman) of him and he was considerably shorter than myself ( 6' 1").
I was amazed.
I have also met and been photographed with him at 2 "Arnold Classic" Events in Columbus Ohio and he visibly has a significant added shoe sole thickness and as I understand elevating shims inside the shoes as well.
I mention these realities not as disrespect but as a example of how a larger than life persona can be formed through film. Regardless...his dedication to body building and success in so many areas of life make his height irrelevant.
Now Lou Ferrigno...that dude is massive, even today!
He would have edged you out in height before his height loss occurred.

Arnold looks the same height as 5'11 listed Willis in Expendables 2 when they are next to one another. I think Kevin Sorbo is on the money with 5'11. Looks it pretty much throughout Expendables 2.

I have also met and been photographed with him at 2 "Arnold Classic" Events in Columbus Ohio and he visibly has a significant added shoe sole thickness and as I understand elevating shims inside the shoes as well.
I mention these realities not as disrespect but as a example of how a larger than life persona can be formed through film. Regardless...his dedication to body building and success in so many areas of life make his height irrelevant.
Now Lou Ferrigno...that dude is massive, even today!

Honestly I don't understand where is all this "much short torso"
It seems that he has the torso like an disabled by as it's described here.
Ok, undoubtedly he has the shorter torso than when he was young, but define it "much compressed" and "he has lost 2 full inches on his upper torso," seems exaggerated, imo.
Then where he would lose these 2 inches of height? In his back?
Come on, that's ridiculous!
He has had accidents in his back as far as we know? No.
He has had back surgery to his back as far as we know? No.
And then, why he would lose so much height in his upper torso?
Because he has been training with bodybuilding for years?
There is no documented study about it, saying that the bodybuilding lose height, if anything rather the opposite.
It keeps your muscles toned and prevents loss height.
Therefore, the only simple reason of his height loss, imo, is due to the normal contraction of the spinal discs that become thinner with age.
At least is my opinion.

@JoeJoe - I'm going to be Devil's Advocat to my own post now. Whilst he is clearly wearing boots with David Cameron as you can all see now, it might not necessarily have lifts in them. I did read once he had a collection of 200 boots. But I do agree with you its strange to wear boots with a suit and its also too much of a coincidence that he's wearing such boots with greater frequency in recent years. In my opinion he either has lifts in them, or wears boots which give more height than normal shoes anyway.
--------------------
Zach you're right: those of Arnie are some kind of boots, is true, but are not cowboy boots, there is a big difference!
These are cowboy boots:

These instead are the boots worn by Arnie on that occasion:

In fact, if you look carefully at this magnification from porch 10 Downing St, you will notice that the heel is around 3 cm thick max, and then compatible with that of Cameron.
Click Here
Then another thing: first, he has never been a full 6'2" at peak but rather 185.5 - 186 cm, as you can see clearly in Pumping Iron next to 6'1" Mike Katz. They are basically the same height.
Mike Katz has also been listen at 6'2". I've even seen 6'3" listings for him. Arnold was never a full 6'2" walking around during the day. More like 6'1.5"-6'1 3/4". Out of bed though, he was at least a solid 6'2".

It's very obvious in this pic of Arnold sitting down how much height he has lost in his upper torso. It looks much shorter (compressed) than it used to be. Majority of his 2" height loss is in his upper torso imo.

I agree. 6'0" out of bed today and 5'11.5" during the day. A full 2" height loss since his healthy prime.

Lucio if you read my most recent post I said theyre boots of some sort, not cowboy boots. You don't need heels for elevation. Easy enough to put lifts in.
My 6'2 estimate is for his peak morning height.

@Dandahman I think your right the only explination for the boots can be that he is now a lift wearer. Given that in the pictures he is only just scraping 6ft. how tall would he be in reality? without the boots. I never noticed them befor but can clearly see them in your first pic, and its just wierd to wear boots with a suit.

I think given all the evidence it is clear that arnold was a 6'1.5 man at peak and he is now around 6ft to 5'11. I dont think there can be any argument there. I do not belive he wore lifts as a younger man. check this pic.
Click Here
Hes in boat shoes and it's nigh on imposible to throw lifts in that right. Plus any right minded person can see he is a stron 6'1 in the pic and dominating stallone even though he has herman munsters on.
In lot of fotos around this time he is bear foot so the lift wearer claim doesnt wash with me. he was always just under 6'2 ie 6'1.5 as a young man, but his heavy frame has compressed with age and he is now just under 6ft. which isnt that bad. My dad has lost about 3 inches with age so an inch and a bit for arnie is highly likely considering his weight.

@ali:
No offence but you must be blind, Arnold is barely 0.5-0.75 shorter than 6'0.5 Cameron in those pics with the same footwear.
In the bodybuilding competitions he was classified in the "tall" category and his height was listed as 6'2.
He was measured at 6'1.5 by a guy who didn't even like him, and was barefeet all the time during the competitions.
But maybe you're right, they implanted lifts on his foots...who knows?

I agree, his upper body looks compressed today, and the fact of pulling his pants up to his armpits, doesn't help him.
But I'd be curious to see him today without the fat around the waist if he would give the same impression.
Personally, I am convinced no, surely he would give a better impression and attenuated the impression of a short torso.
Then I would like to dispel a rumor: it is not true that he always had a short torso and legs disproportionately long compared to the torso even in his prime. Sure, he has always had long legs, but not disproportionate to the torso and these few photos are a clear testimony

I agree that his body looks a bit compressed today, that's maybe due to age and weight, but let's be realistic, Arnold was always a leg-man (he still has long legs), the shrinkage is in his upper body.

You can argue between 186 and 188 for a peak Arnold, there's no way he was under or over that. He claimed 186cm in a foreign interview time ago, and converted badly to 6'2.
186-187 range is 100% attendible, I know when I see someone around my height, and he was for sure around my height.
And Kevin Sorbo doesn't know what the hell he's saying...5'11...he's crazy, Arnold looks clearly taller than that even now at 65y.

You can argue between 186 and 188 for a peak Arnold, there's no way he was under or over that. He claimed 186cm in a foreign interview time ago, and converted badly to 6'2.
186-187 range is 100% attendible, I know when I see someone around my height, and he was for sure around my height.
And Kevin Sorbo doesn't know what the hell he's saying...5'11...he's crazy, Arnold looks clearly taller than that even now at 65y.

Since when is Cameron 6'0"? He was 6'2". May be shorter now, but that pic is 11 years old.
Danimal I think you are mistaken. the picture I am refering to is a 2 year old picture of Arnie and david cameron the british Prime minister not james cameron the director. yes the director is 6'2 but david cameron the british prime minister is 6 ft. please read carefully. I have reposted the foto i was referring to again so you dont get it twisted again.

i think arnold is and always was 6 feet flat to 6 and a half feet always. In commando bill duke fricking towered over him like a giant. I doubt arnold ever wore lifts. Even in running man he looked like the shortest guy out of all those guys. I think hes always been 6 feet he never was 6'2" ever i dont think. He did look like it though when he was around other guys like david caruso. In raw deal he was shorter than robert davi whos 6'2". In expendables he still looked like he was around 6 feet. Only thing i noticed is that his hair is thinning out

Arnold never came across as being short in body building competition and most definetly on the taller side versus the other heavy weights.

I think in his prime he was at least 6'1"....if you look closely he dwarfs Franco Columbu by at least 7 to 8 inches....Columbu was listed at 5'5" and in pictures with arnold its obvious a prime arnold has more than 5" on Franco so 5'10" for a prime arnold is highley unlikely...so the claimed measurement which was supposedly a true physical measurement in 1969 had Arnold being 6'1.5....it may well be accurate.

I think it's fair to say that with age Arnold has lost a lot of height and from the photos with David Cameron we can clearly see he isn't even 6ft anymore. Cameron is a strong six foot and clearly taller than arnie who is pretty much standing with military posture. Cameron's posture is rather more relaxed

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.
What's everyone's thoughts on this then? Doesn't look 6ft 1 let alone 6ft 2 to me in this film. Maybe he hasn't lost as much height as you all think, perhaps he was shorter than 6ft 2 in the first place, but a lot of info states 6ft 2 or close to that as his true height, so i guess we'll never know since he's not in his prime anymore.
------------------------------
I agree, in Commando he seems closer to 6 feet rather than 187 cm.
Rob, I'd like to ask you a question: if you watch Commando, you realize that next to Vernon Wells, he seems to be closer to 6 feet rather than 6'1.5" even judging from this pic
Click Here
Do you think it may be possible that he was 6 feet at his peak?
In my opinion, since he seems to be only 6 feet in this film, I attribute it to possible lifts worn by Vernon or other environmental variables such as ground, shoes, etc.
In fact, if you'll notice, in all the movie, they are never side by side in standing position, so this fact raises doubts about the possibility that he may actually have been 6 feet at his peak, partly because a only pictures of them side by side is still too little to judge.
What do you think?

I think as i said in the picture of him and stallone earlier a peak of 6.1.75 or 6'1.5 is a fare assesment for Arnold now though i would def say he is around 5'11/ 5'11.5 here he is with David cameron who is on the No10 website as 184cm he is a good cm or 2 even shorter even with the hair

Ok, I'd be a little tired of hearing things that are not very credible, so in my opinion, things are so:
1) He has not lost 2 full inches of height, it's already quite rare in a person with different problems, let alone for a person who, like Arnold, had no accident to his back (at least as far as we we know).
2) To be honest, I didn't feel to say that bodybuilding lose height, neither years of squat, because once ceased the load, spinal disks, being elastic, they come back to their original shape.
3) To me, from the many photos and videos seen in years, I got the idea that at his peak had to be: morning out of bed 188 cms (6'2"), during the day 186 cms (6'1.25"), in the evening 185 cms (6'1").
To me, these measures are those that are closest to reality, but then again, not because I say so, but because if you carefully observe the many photos in his bodybuilding days and those with celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Tony Blair and other celebrities, it can be seen that he is ALWAYS very close to this measures of 186 cms, or at worse 185 cms next to these celebrities.
So, it's true: he has lost height from his peak, but in my opinion, not more than 3 cms (1.5 inches) at max and it is mainly due to age and normal contraction of the spinal discs that after a certain age lose elasticity and become thinning.
However, this is normal for anyone, who doing sport or not.

He's 6'0 flat today, he lost only 1.5 at 65y, it's not an huge amount.
We have to count the fact that he was a bodybuilder (they lose more height than average, because they stress their spine), he was injured a lot of times (especially in his spine), plus the steroid use has caused him heart problems, all these things together contributed to his height loss.
Dolph Lundgren lost already the same amount of height, a good 4cm (he looks bang on 190cm today), and he's also 10y younger than Arnold and in good shape.

Larc - you said Arnold's had some serious spine injuries. I'm an Arnold fan and I've never heard of him having 'serious spine injuries'. When I asked you to provide details of your spine injuries claim you come up with cracked ribs and a broken femur. You do know where ribs and the femur are right??
As for your claim that bodybuilding causes loss of height, I asked you to cite a reliable scientific study that shows this and you couldnt up with any.
I do actually agree with Rob and the others that Arnold has lost height, 2 full inches IMO, but I don't buy into these wive's tales and made up 'serious spine injuries' stories you're coming up with.

there are about 7 cms of difference between Dolph and Arnie. if Dolph is 6'3.5" then Arnold is 184-185 cms. But Arnold has such type of cowboy boots that's maybe give him an 1 cms extra, also if I don't think it's so, because his shoes seem like these

With all due respect Larc every one of those statements are rubbish. There are no studies to show weight lifters lose more height, on the contrary there are many which show bodybuilding increases bone density. Then Arnold's heart surgery was due to a congenital aortic valve defect i.e. from birth NOT related to steroid use. Finally, you say Arnold had a lot of spine injuries - really? Please provide details.

Arnold looks bang on 183 next to 177 Van Damme in the Expendables 2 premiere pics, there's no way he's less than that today, maybe only with bad posture.
------------------
Also close to 185 cms if in good posture if compared to 6'2" Avi Lerner, Expendables producer, as evidences by this pic, where there are about 3 cms of difference.

He's 6'0 flat today, he lost only 1.5 at 65y, it's not an huge amount.
We have to count the fact that he was a bodybuilder (they lose more height than average, because they stress their spine), he was injured a lot of times (especially in his spine), plus the steroid use has caused him heart problems, all these things together contributed to his height loss.
Dolph Lundgren lost already the same amount of height, a good 4cm (he looks bang on 190cm today), and he's also 10y younger than Arnold and in good shape.
At the end, Arnold didn't do that bad, considering all his problems.

Look what's on Arnold's feet. Apart from Lundgren I don't trust any of their footwear, but Arnold's big leather boots appear to be the biggest.

Did anyone read my post regarding Arnold in the film Commando?
Looked 6ft 0.5 at best judgeing from rae dawn chong's height of 5ft 7 and that was after the deduction of 1.5 inches for boots for Arnold. He looks different heights in a lot of films. Looked close to if not marginely shorter than Jeff Bridges, can't remember the name of the film though.

To lose 2 inches height at 65 years old is normal for a tall guy. The taller you are the more you lose. Lou Ferrigno has lost almost 4 inches.
Lou has not lost almost 4". He was just over 6'4" at his peak and is just under 6'3" today.

I talked to a guy at the Univ Of Washington gym in the mid-late 90s who said they saw Arnold and he was smaller than expected. Of course that guy was a 6'2 and 235 lb former linebacker. So maybe arnie is only 184 cm. Some earlier pics ive seen of him and he looks closer to 185-186

Agree with both of you D'Animal and Mike. 5'11.5 at most today, possibly even 5'11 flat. 6'1.5 or even a flat 6'2 morning height back in his peak.
Danimal - I think it's a combination of things re his upper body looking small. Firstly, Arnolds always had disproportionately long legs, he's mentioned this several times in his encyclopaedia. Then his training has been lax in recent years and so other people such as Crews, Lundgren look bigger physique wise. Thirdly, he wears cowboy boots/elevated shoes almost regularly now which will only serve to make his legs look longer. Fourth - he is 65 and so yes it's possible his spine has compressed somewhat as happens with age. Also, it doesn't help that he insists on pulling his trousers up right up to his armpits.

Danimal: To answer your question, Arnold from what I have seen has shrunk to just under 6 foot. I would say he is in the 5'11" region these days. In his prime, there is no doubt in his barefoot pictures, he used to be TALL. He always stood out like a needle in a haystack barefoot next to 5'8" - 5'11" people.
I was looking at a new picture of Arnold with Forrest Whitaker and Forrest is 6'2.5" - 6'3" and Arnold looks a good 3 - 3.5 inches shorter than Forrest.
Arnold was 6'1.5" - 6'1.75" inches in his prime and nowadays, I reckon he is in the 5'11" - 5'11.5" region.
I agree with you. He's definitely nothing over 5'11.5" today and that's being generous. Imo, he's lost over 2" in height since his peak and it looks like a lot of the height loss is in his upper torso. It appears as though his spine has collapsed on him.

Also I agree that Arnolds build today is non-existant. I was just reading the boards over at ArnoldFans and all the posters there seem quite delusional.

There's also a chance that he was even 6'1.75 (the height that he claimed in that interview with Bronstein). He looked closer in height to Muhammad Ali (when he was younger) in almost all their pics together, and Ali at his peak was for sure almost 6'3.
He looked also clearly taller than Tom Arnold in True Lies, who is at 100% nothing less than a strong 6'1, and looked sometimes a bit taller than Carl Weathers in Predator.
What do you think Rob, is 6'1.75 peak possible? Or maybe he just measured himself in the late morning?

Arnold's off-season weight used to be 250 - 260 lbs from 1960s through 1974. In 1975, he dropped his weight to only 210 lbs for the "Stay Hungry" movie and he looks incredibly skinny in the movie. Arnold looked skinny when he was 210 lbs even after he stopped competing.
In competition form, he used to reduce his fat down to only 7 - 8% and carrry 235 - 245 lbs of pure muscle. He was absolutely massive in the 1971 Mr. Olympia where he weighed in at 251.8 lbs. He weighed 242 lbs in the 1974 Mr. Olympia and in the 1975 Mr. Olympia Serge Nubret said he saw Arnold stepping on the scale at only 228 lbs because he never regained all of his muscle back after doing the "Stay Hungry" movie.
Mike Mentzer also said Arnold at 1980 Mr. Olympia weighed in at only 225 pounds and he looked very skinny at the pre-judging because of his tall height. He overpowered everyone else with his chest, arms and height. Nothing else.
To say, Arnold weighed only 235 lbs shows Metric knows nothing about musculature and pure muscle. Arnold only had a 33 inches waist 235 - 240 lbs. A 33 inches waist at 240 lbs means he was carrying exceptionally low fat at that weight.
Arnold was every bit 6'1.5" inches in his prime and nothing less.

Just that, I know its a weird question but if you could answer, thanks!

Editor Rob I try to be as fair from my own 5ft 8 (afternoon) height with guesses. Sometimes if say I'm thinking this person is looking around 5ft 10.5 or 11, I might go with the 11 moreso than the 10.5.
I'm sure there might also be cases where somebody might measure a 1/4 inch more than a listing, but mostly you are guessing a range - it helps also when a celebrity stands beside someone whose height I've already measured.

Oh my God. Arnold's entire upper torso looks like it has literally been squished together. Has he had vertebrae removed? We know he had a hip replacement (reducing height), but his upper torso seems to be collapsing on his and his neck is shorter too. Believe it or not, he WAS a tall man until well into in the 1990's. Over 2" height loss for sure for Arnold. I WORSHIPED this man when I began lifting weights and his current body has a deformed look to it these days. COMPLETELY compressed.
What UTTER nonsense! The height difference between Arnold and Crews is the same in the 2012 pic as it is in the one from 2000. That´s because Arnold is 5-11 in both of the pics! He HASN´T mysteriously lost a gazillion inches during the last 12 yrs. He was ALWAYS 5-11 to begin with. The reason his torso looks weird nowadays is because he is a LAZY f*ck and doesn´t work out anymore and therefore he has gained A TON of weight around his waist. It´s a lazy grandpa GUT nothing else. It´s NOT his spine compressing like a human slinky or secret super mutant space aliens from galaxy no. 431-X who are stealing his vertebrae for future experimentation.

What UTTER nonsense! The height difference between Arnold and Crews is the same in the 2012 pic as it is in the one from 2000. That´s because Arnold is 5-11 in both of the pics! He HASN´T mysteriously lost a gazillion inches during the last 12 yrs. He was ALWAYS 5-11 to begin with. The reason his torso looks weird nowadays is because he is a LAZY f*ck and doesn´t work out anymore and therefore he has gained A TON of weight around his waist. It´s a lazy grandpa GUT nothing else. It´s NOT his spine compressing like a human slinky or secret super mutant space aliens from galaxy no. 431-X who are stealing his vertebrae for future experimentation.

Oh my God. Arnold's entire upper torso looks like it has literally been squished together. Has he had vertebrae removed?

Those pics from 12 years ago are tilted against Arnold, look at the background. Regardless of height, he still had a powerful frame back then and seldom wore suspect shoes. Now he's looking like a little old man unfortunately struggling to keep up his image using cowboy boots/elevator shoes on a regular basis. My guess is that he's probably in the 5'11 range these days.

If you google Kevin Peter Hall and search images there is a picture of the 7' 2" Predator actor with Herr Schwarzenegger. There seems to be amuch greater than 12" height difference. It could be up to 16" difference. That would fit with the 5' 10" that has been around for decades. The picture is a black and white job. Check it out.

It's a shame that Arnold is standing closer to Randy Couture in that picture Zach, it would let us see what he looks like next to a legit six-footer. It's also interesting that in Zach's photo his inseem looks the same length as Crews. His torso looks pretty small in proportion to his legs. Obviously he has lost a lot of height in his spine.

Also I agree that Arnolds build today is non-existant. I was just reading the boards over at ArnoldFans and all the posters there seem quite delusional. They all rant on about how Arnold can get into top shape "easily" and that he is going to be flexing and showing off huge guns and pecs in his new movies.
Well sadly I don´t think so. I wish he would because even though it may seem that I hate Arnold from my posts here I can still appreciate a good action movie and I like beefy badas*es as much as the next guy. But fact is that Arnold is far from a beefy badas* today. I haven´t seen ONE pic of him from the last few years where he looks anywhere in decent (muscular) shape. Oh yeah alot of pics of him riding his bicycle around L.A but that doesn´t make your guns grow! I don´t think he even bothers with weights anymore and hasn´t done so for YEARS. He just looks like your typical 65 year old grandpa with small arms, big gut, narrow shoulders and sagging pecs.
In 2002 he said on his own homepage in an answer to a fan that he hadn´t done a single bench press for 20 yrs (since 1982)!! That just sickens me. And he said that for his T3 workout he didn´t do deadlifts or squats (!!). Jezus...Mr. Bodybuilding can´t even bother to do a decent workout!?? Wow.
He keeps saying to this day that he trains 1 hr everyday with weights but I don´t believe that for a second! If you train that much you will look ALOT better than Arnold does! I think he ONLY does machines if (and that´s a big IF) he does them at all. Because he sure don´t look like one who works out hard...
Look at this pic. He doesn´t have ANY biceps at all: Click Here
And this is him in his MOVIE "shape" for crying out loud! He is currently filming The Tomb with Sly.

He admitted a few years ago that his daughter is almost as tall as him, and she wear boots in that pic, plus, Arnold isn't standing that good and wears flat shoes, don't speak if you don't know the facts.

Matt, Arnold was measured at 6'1.5" barefoot in 1969. This HAS been documented. It was also a nighttime measurement. FACT.
Oh pleaase! This would be a fact only if there existed a full body PICTURE of Arnold getting measured on a stadiometer. Also he would preferrably be measured in the presence of two doctors. As it is the only thing we have is a shady email from someone who belongs to the BB community. Vince Basille depends on his living by not upsetting the biggest name in the industry or his demented benefactor Joe Weider. I´m sure that if Vince had said Arnold was 5-10 Joe Weider or Arn himself would have soon severed his head and made sure he never worked again in the BB industry. So I don´t give a SH*T for your "documentation". It´s NOT! It´s an email from a biased guy.
Now THAT´s a FACT!

Metric, that guy has completely different proportions to Arnold and is carrying CONSIDERABLY more fat as well as water retention. And that guy is certainly not 275lbs, that's proposterous. Arnold came in at 240 cut up, that guy would be lucky to hit 240 carrying all of that body fat (looks around 14%) and water.
1. HOW can this guy have completely different proportions than Arnold when he is the same height Arnold supposedly was/is??? Oh yeah, because Arnold WAS NEVER/IS NOT his billed height! There now you said it yourself!
2. This guy IS 275 lbs. He says so on his FB page. To be honest he is "only" 260 lbs in that youtube vid. It says in the description: 116 kgs = 260 lbs. But he is 275 lbs today and still looking nowhere near young Arnold.
This dude won the Danish BB Championship last year. Funny thing is he says everywhere in interviews and on FB that he doesn´t do gear. But I have talked with him many times in the gym and one of the first times we spoke he told me that he has been taking DECA since age 17. Lol.
Anyway this page is not about him but I think he is a good example of how PREPOSTEROUS Arnolds body weight is compared to his billed (and FAKE) height. You CANNOT look like Arnold did and weigh only 235-240 lbs at a height of 6-2. It´s impossible!
I repeat: IMPOSSIBLE!

150 at 6'1 or 6'2 would not make him anorexic by any standard. It would make him skinny, but certainly not anorexic. Tommy Hearns was a famous boxer who was 6'1 at 147, and certainly wasn't anorexic. Paul Williams is another boxer who was about 6'1-2 who fought as low as 147. You really need to be careful about making these pronouncements.

Again about the weight: I read an interview where Arnold said he weighed 150 lbs before he started bodybuilding. Wait a second: 150 lbs at 6-2?? That would make him an anorexic. He was 5-11 max.

Metric, Arnold's legs are actually bent a bit, and Eddie's head is closer to the camera. Plus we have no concept of footwear in this shot.
Plus, simply put, there is no evidence to ever suggest Arnold was 5'11 in his prime. Hell, there is limited evidence to even suggest that he is as short as 5'11 nowadays! All of those barefoot pictures of him during his body-building days are pretty conclusive in that regard.
You really need to start displaying better evidence if you want to convince anyone. A photo with no clear demonstration of footwear, and a visibly bending Arnold really doesn't cut it.

Also he may be standing on an elevated position. OMG just look at some of his barefoot prime pictures. Can a 5 10 guy possibly look that huge?

Furthermore Arnold is CLOSER to the camera and despite all of these factors ONLY appears 1 inch taller than Eddie !!! Arnold was MAX 5-11 prime and possibly shorter. Let´s see the usual nuthuggers try and explain this away!??

Schwarzeneggers body weight has ALWAYS given his height LIE away. In my gym there is a guy who is on gear and has been training like a madman for years. He is 6-1.25 and weighs exactly 275 lbs of pure muscle. But let me tell you that he looks NOTHING like Arnold did when he was in his prime. So Arnold at 6-2 and weighing a measely 235 lbs (looking way more massive than this 275 lbs guy) is pure undiluted BS!
Now if instead you realize that his true prime height was only between 5-10 to 5-11 then all of a sudden it makes more sense. Arnold was "smart" enough to lie about his height but he forgot to lie about his weight as well. Probably he doesn´t even understand the concept that height and weight are intimately intertwined and the bigger the height the higher the bodyweight.
But 6-2?? FORGET IT!!! In ya dreams nuthuggers
-------------------
It's incredible how a combination of height complex and envy can lead a guy to say so many stupid things at once.
Indeed, in addition to the height, to determine the weight of a guy, there are other factors such as the bone's thickness, the percentage of lean body mass and other.
Therefore, comparing two guy only for the height and weight, neglecting all these factors I have listed is from shallow person.
106 kg for 186 cm in height, I'd say an excellent weight/height for a bodybuilder.

Arnold has NEVER been 6-2. PRIME Arnold was noticeably SHORTER than 6-2 Bush Senior in late 80s early 90s.

Wearing cuban heels and still being shorter than Jeff Bridges in the seventies makes him nowhere near 6'2 or 6'1. Clearing 6'2 is a fanboys dream. Peak Arnold was 184 it's right in front of you. he lies about his height now and he did then then, just like every bodybuilder, they all lie.

Arnold was never a tall man. He always wears
lifts. The ridiculous idea that Arnold once
was almost 6'2, but nowadays is 5'11 because
he shrunk. Only somebody without brains would
believe this. Shrinking 3 inches is for people
that have scoliosis. Has Arnold lost height?
Probably. How much? maybe half an inch or slightly
more.
Arnold is in good shape. He does not yet
have the old man's body. Arnold in his
lifts is still 3 inches shorter than 6'2.5

It's funny how all three of you clowns make the exact same statements you always have from day one. So here we go again with another pointless week of George Bush Sr comparisons, and another week of being made to look like fools going over Say Hungry for the 40th time. And Ali.......what can you say about that guy. Don't bother answering back anything he says. He doesn't want to debate. He's just a dreamer who wishes he owned this page. He longs for everyone in the world to be awestruck by his demented fantasy world. It's funny how he says it so seriously and matter of fact as if anyone would sit up and not take it as a joke.

And we have to consider, that the Rob's estimate of 183 cm at the top of this page, is made on the basis of the impression you get of Arnold during the day, referring to other people, NOT out of bed in the morning.
So it follows that his height out the bed, it is very likely greater.

Definitely. Arnold had 2 measurements taken of him in the late 1960's. One at 6'1.5" (nighttime barefoot height) and one at 6'1 3/4" (Arnold's own personal claim). I'm SURE he was 6'2" straight out of bed. Today, I'd give him MAX 6'0" out of bed and around 5'11.5" during the day. 2" height loss.
Mmmmm... i dont't think he has lost so much height, to me is too much.
I think he has lost at worst 1 inch, because is true that bodybuilder losing much height than normal perople, but he seems in very good shape lately as these recent pics attest

So, to me today he fluctuates between 6 ft and 6'0.5" and much depend by good or poor posture.

Nothing under 186cm for this guy, he looked clearly tall in almost all his movies
Very true. On a small note, personally I think at peak he was dead on 186.7 cm. Not that decimals matter that much. I guess sure, he could go to 186 cm, albeit after a hard workout. For me though, that's not true height, being compressed like a spin. So he was as listed "shrug". Now fluctuated at 182-183 cm, so 6 ft is fair.
