@viper = Some of this bodybuilders's official heights were possibly rounded up easily more than 0.5 inch,then even if this famous stadiometer measured them 0.5 inch under their offical heights the result of this measure still was generous.
Do not see any special connection with what I have just said=

Lol your "irrefutable proof" is a stadiometer that you never saw and never try it ...

I mean, Pierre has a bit of a point but what gives this stadiometer validity is that it measured everyone a half inch lower than their claim.

i think he can be dipping down to 179 these days. he often look the same heigh as 5´10 guys. peak from looking at terminator movies and true lies i would have thought 6´2 guy but in reality i think he was not a mm ovetr 6´1 i mean go from 185 to 179 is 6 cm and the guy is aliitle over 70. but going from 187 to 179 at that age is just extreme. that meast that arnold would be down to maybe 175 when he is 80 and 172 at 85 and if he makes it to 90 he will be a 169 guy. does that makes any sense? can a guy shrink that mutch or have arnold lost the most of his height now i younger age and will stay at 5´10 for many many years.

We have a good pic in a more or less recent comment ,with Arnold and Lou standing barefoot in exactly same posture and same distance to the camera.Arnold's eyes clearly is max as high as Lou's mouth.The pic was made around 1975 (so Arnold around 27 ).At around the same period (start of the 80s)we have Lou next to John Larroquette,Dick Durock,also next to his stunt double.Each time this pics are showing Lou around 6"3',no more.a bit later (1994) same thing next to Adrian Paul.1997 Lou again looking a bit dwarfed by Ralf Moeller.
Then Arnold as tall as 6"1' prime would means all this guys next to Lou have false lists.The probability seems to me very slim.
I could believe Arnold had a very late growth ,even in his 30s,that is my case.But pics/videos of him in the 80s are showing again the same thing = around 6"0'(next to Vernon Wells,Charles Meshack,Yuri Vlasov...)
My guess still is 5"11.75' peak now maybe full 5"10'

I would say he was 6'1½ (possibly 6'1¼) at his peak, but his bulky build could make you think he's shorter. He's noticeably taller than 5'7 Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies and she wears heels which look about 3 inches in that film while he's in typical 1 inch dress shoes.

Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 23/Mar/21
@Pierre the stadiometer measured then shorter than they claimed because they lied about their heights
@Chaos Control But I tend to believe some bodybuilders had their height billed a lot above the reality.Sergio Oliva for an example was billed 5"10' /5"11' in magazines and when a guy( who has a site in web)wrote he met him in the 80s he wrote he was very surprised about his real height.He described him like 5"7'/ 5"8' = here the link=
Click Here (red the forum under the article too)
Assumption = a 5"7' /5"8' guy billed 5"10' in magazines was measured only 5"9.5' on this famous stadiometer = the stadiometer deduced only 0.5 inch from his usual height but the reality isn't exactly as high as 5"9.5'.
Here is a young Ken Waller billed 6"0' next to Joe Weider in his 57s listed 5"10' peak
Click Here
Here again a young Ken Waller next to Mentzer's brothers listed 5"8' and 5"9' and again Joe Weider around same period

This are just pics of course but something tells me if Ken billed 6"0' was measured 5"11.5' on this famous stadiometer he could be largely satisfied with the measurement.

The problem is with Arnie, in his prime he barely ever looked near 6'2. If he was 6'1.5 then you'd think he'd look 6'2 just as much as he looked 6'1, but 90% of the time he just looked a flat 6'1 guy.
Was he ever a lift wearer? I don't think so, but obviously in movies he liked to wear a thick boot and he liked his cowboy boots too.
I've got him at 6'1/6'1.25 at his absolute tallest, today he could be anywhere in the 5'10.75/5'11 area. Lost a solid 2 inches from his prime.

Pierre said on 22/Mar/21
From another point of view if this stadiometer was generally deduct 0.5 inch from usual heights then imo you have to bet this stadiometer had a problem.Then you could imagine the opposite was possible with an adjustment problem or something like this and so possible sometimes it adds height .By this comparisons of pics with good parameters(both barefeet,same distance to the camera /postures etc etc)Arnold around 6"1.5' give to Lou no less than 6"4.5' and for an example Adrian Paul no less than 6"1'/6"1.5'....

I think 6ft 1 or 6ft 1.25 may be closer to truth than 6ft 1.5. But I would indisputably give George H W Bush a 6ft 2.25 because in 1990 Arnold made him really looked over 6ft 2:

Rob, have you seen enough to give Arnold a downgrade or Bush an upgrade?
Editor Rob
it's always a question I think of at what stage did Arnie start to lose a fraction...but there is always a case for saying Bush was a solid 6ft 2 who probably wouldn't measure under it, whilst Anir was a 6ft 1.5 guy who may well have fallen under that to 1.25
Chaos Control 6'2.5 said on 12/Mar/21
@Viper because of margin for error on the stadiometer I’m going with 6’1.25
viper said on 11/Mar/21
184cm is too short
6-1 minimum. He measured 6-1.5 at night with a measuring device that measured others a half inch shorter than their claim.
To me that gives it some legitimacy

No. Evan is taller. Look the top of their heads. Evan has 1/2 inch on him and his posture is not as good as Arnold. Imagine Evan standing tall as Arnold. His nech and head is forward.

1.81/1.82 is a little exaggeration for a peak Arnold. He was 1.83 but with his shoes, confidence and posture fooled most of the guys around. Another reason is people usually add 1-2 inches to their height. People have a different reality of how really tall is a 1.83 man

Maybe camera angles affect on height difference
And some times the camera angles makes the height between two celebrities seem close to each other.

Editor Rob

Rising174cm said on 7/Feb/21
@Kurtz: Sorry, but that's not even close to true. Sly's own height was not even constant and that's one of the problems as he was often in lifts with Arnold while there's also fewer good comparisons from the 80s and 90s, but this one from the mid 80s shows that Arnold was at least 4" taller than Stallone peak: tinyurl.com/tzghs4h8 Notice Arnold is leaning with thin shoes while Sly looks to have a good inch lift in his sneakers.
By 2010, Arnold had shrunk easily over an inch and the difference looked somewhere in the 2" range at this event: tinyurl.com/4rjh4gva tinyurl.com/4sr4jh7p Same thing at the 2013 Golden Globes where the difference looked maybe 2": tinyurl.com/1mapyho0 tinyurl.com/8d39mphy and maybe a 1.5" difference at this Expendables 3 screening in 2014: tinyurl.com/ljj22u0p tinyurl.com/ryi2aoxw and finally at the premiere for the 5th Terminator film in 2015, Sly was finally looking around his current height of about a half inch loss from his peak, yet the difference still only looked around 2.5" in similar footwear: tinyurl.com/4c55vrau tinyurl.com/ykrejyn6 From 2013-2015 Arnold had probably lost another fraction from 2010 himself. I intentionally only chose full pics and the one video and events where Sly wasn't obviously wearing elevator shoes or cowboy boots, though I assume he had a very subtle lift in the 2014 pics as he looked too close to Arnold's height. Even with Sly wearing more normal looking dress shoes in the Expendables era and appearing to drop a little height himself by 2015, the height difference went from a minimum 4" in the 80s and 90s accounting for footwear to looking on average, about 2", maybe 2.5" at times from 2010 on.
Or look at Arnold with Bruce Willis. Arnold used to look perhaps a couple of inches taller in the 90s, by 2006 when Arnold had lost at least an inch and Bruce had lost perhaps half an inch, Arnold was still looking at least an inch taller, but by the time they were promoting the first Expendables in 2010, Arnold's height advantage over Bruce wasn't so noticeable for the first time.
@rAndy31: I've seen the scene many times and Arnold looked to edge Carl. At minimum, they were the same height back then. The difference is Carl has lost surprisingly little height while Arnold's hip replacement and numerous broken bones have contributed to more than average height loss.
@Rob: Btw, how do I post links that show up? People can still view them by copy and pasting, but I'm posting them the same way I always did yet they don't show up as "Click Here" anymore.

there needs to be an https:// in front
like:

Because Arnold was never over 183 cm. That was the reality.184 is the most I can go with..
houss said on 7/Feb/21
@rob , in your opinion what's the best way to measure height metric or imperial , in my country we use metric but i think imperial is better because for example 1cm of difference is less remarkable than a 1 inch difference
Editor Rob
I think both have merits.
Personally I will always keep imperial/metric on this site for as long as I run it.
it's funny both Andy Murray/Nadal both claimed the 187.5cm mark...I've never heard anybody in person who used metric using a .5 or anything...always seemed rounded to nearest cm.
Genau said on 6/Feb/21
could he be as low as 5ft10 3/4 today?
Editor Rob
that's the lowest I would have guessed if measured.

According to Vince Basille, the scale was about accurate based on his 5'9.5" measurement, but Rob's own stadiometer measured people slightly taller than they were so Arnold getting an extra 1/4" is not implausible or even easier to believe would be Arnold measuring something like 6'1 3/8" with a 1/8" error and Basille just reading/remembering that as 6'1.5" as almost everyone would.
Yeah that’s why I gave him 6’1.25
Kurtz said on 5/Feb/21
The difference in height btwn Arnie and Sly remained quite stable over the years.
The same btwn Carl Weathers and Sly.
Result Carl Weathers was taller than Arnold at time of Predator.
I don't buy Arnold shrunk due to the age.
Hong said on 5/Feb/21
He looks a good 6 inches taller than Williams there,so 6ft1 range I think.
Hong said on 4/Feb/21
Click Here Here's an older Arnold next to 5ft7.75 listed Tom Cruise,he looks to have lost a couple of inches,compared to how he looked next to Robin Williams.
Hong said on 4/Feb/21
Click Here Here's Arnold with 5ft7 listed Robin Williams,how tall do you think Arnold looks here Rob?
Editor Rob
he can look over 6ft with Robin back then.

Also, if we consider the likelihood that Arnold's measurements by his kids were in shoes, which we'll assume for simplicity, then he was 6'0" by 2008 and 5'11.5" by 2013 meaning at that same rate, he'd have been 5'11" flat by 2018(which looks highly likely) and about 5'10.75" by now. Those assumptions are by no means a sure thing, but they wouldn't be the least bit surprising.

Bro, if Arnold was that close to 6’3”, you could just tell
Pics next to Lou ferrigno prove he’s not that tall, no hard feelings

The stadiometer measured everyone a half inch lower than they claimed which is interesting
Yeah...but this never means Arnold was for sure 6"2' barefoot ...Apparently some bodybuilders in the 70s were billed sometimes 2 or even 3 inches higher than their real heights...then if one of them was billed 6"0' and measured 5"11.5' to this height gauge, he was still logically very satisfied...

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Feb/21
I think the current peak is fine with an arguable fraction either way....not 6ft2 or 6ft1 flat
ChaosControl 6'2 1/2 said on 2/Feb/21
186ish, 6’1.25 for his peak, he was supposedly measured with a stadiometer but I know those can be a little off so I’m going down a quarter
Rising174cm said on 1/Feb/21
Didn't Arnold even say he was shorter than James Earl Jones who is also listed here at 6'1.5" peak? I also think Robert Davi was about that height as Julian McMahon used to edge him on the show Profiler and anyone who has seen Raw Deal knows Arnold looked a bit shorter. Also, in 1996, Arnold was towered by a slouching then-6'4" Dolph Lundgren:
Click Here Though he didn't look shorter than Holyfield in the same video:
Click Here
He also definitely wasn't shorter than Carl Weathers who was at least 6'1" peak. So yeah, at least 6'1" peak, but the 6'1.5" measurement might have been slightly generous.
Kurtz said on 1/Feb/21
Arnie was never taller than Tom Hanks, the difference with Tom Cruise never changed in over 30 yrs.
5 11 to 6 ft peak.

Arnold has had quite a few surgeries so I have no trouble believing he's lost more than average. Even by 2007, he had already had a hip replacement in 2002 and surgery to repair a broken femur bone from a skiing accident in 2006 among others. The following year in 2008, he had knee surgery.
I'd buy 186 cm evening at his peak seeing him edge out Carl Weathers in Predator and Tom Arnold in True Lies, clearly taller than Roger Moore in the late 80s and about the same height as Evander Holyfield in the 90s. 187 does seem to be pushing it, though seeing him with Robert Davi in Raw Deal since Davi likely wasn't above 187 himself. I don't think Ferrigno was only 6'3" flat peak, though. Rob said Lou was still around 6'3" when he met him in 2006 and even 2013, although I can't see Lou above 6'2.5" now at 69.

The pic of 2007 with Chazz Palminteri and Arnie makes rest in peace any chance for Arnold to be above 6 ft.
Too much difference already in 2007 with a legit 6 2.
Pierre said on 28/Jan/21
6"0' peak nothing above this mark,the good pics show it
Trent Steel said on 27/Jan/21
Rising174cm said on 22/Jan/21
While I do believe Arnold's 6'1.5" evening measurement occurred, it's worth noting that Vince Basille also claimed Arnold's arms measured 21.5" even though I'm pretty sure Arnold's arms may have just scraped 20" in his prime in reality.
Underrated comment and the reason why nobody should trust Vince's measurement. It's also worth noting that Arnold's contemporary Tom Platz was 5'8 and the same weight as Arnold; yet despite the significant difference in FFMI values, Tom did not look much more muscular than Arnold.
At a peak height of 6'1.5 and a peak competition weight of 235 at a competition-level body fat level of around 8%, Arnold would only have an FFMI of just under 28. Yet he was able to stand out on stage among his peers who would usually have FFMIs often greater than 30. Hell, 28 would only put him only slightly above classic bodybuilders like Reg Park and Marvin Eder, even though he is clearly much more muscular than them. This makes anything more than 6' peak extremely hard to believe.

Slim, Rampage, I’ve settled it. Go for 6’1.25
Marius_4598 said on 27/Jan/21
I read his book the education of a bodybuilder there are a lot of pictures of Arnold when he was young and he looked 6-1.5 in most of them. In a picture with 5-9.5 Gerd Mueller, former soccer player, he looked as tall as 6-2
Rising174cm said on 27/Jan/21
@Pierre: Nah, he might occasionally look 6'0.5" once in a while, but there's more than enough evidence to put him at least around 6'1.25" in the 80s and at least 6'1" up until at least the late 90s. And Corden looks a solid enough 5'8". It's tough to see him more than 1/4" from Rob's listing in either direction.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 26/Jan/21
slim, I can't go with anything below 6ft1 flat and even that mark I struggle with....but 6ft2 is pushing it also. Only time he saw that was early morning/out of bed
Kurtz said on 26/Jan/21
Arnold at his peak was tall as Chris Evans now.
Case closed.
Pierre has the point 100% of times.
Case closed.
Arnold was and is the best heavy weight action movie star ever, nobody can replicate his succes in that kind of roles.
Case closed.
Tizwaxxx said on 26/Jan/21
I’d say 6-0.5 peak. Now sub 5-11

Don’t let Arnold trick you into thinking he was close to 6’2” in actuality he was close to 6’1”
slim 6'1 said on 26/Jan/21
Add Joseph baena already, he’s already rounding up just like his dad the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree 👍 he’s developing gyno around his nipples that’s how you can tell

Rising174cm said on 22/Jan/21
That said, I do think there's enough evidence of Arnold looking 186 cm or taller than just a flat 6'1" into the 80s and even the 90s.
He's max 6"0' in lots of pics /comparisons I posted here
Rising174cm said on 22/Jan/21
However, he could already look as short as 179-180 range as far back as 7 years ago with 5'10" George's St Pierre here: Click Here and at times in this clip with 5'8.25" James Corden from 6 years ago: Click Here I suspect some of that is posture since he could still look over 5'11" more recently, but I don't dismiss the possibility of under 5'11" by this point.
To me the reason is = James Corden isn't as tall as 5"8.25'.Here with Justin Timberlake around 5"11'
Click Here Click Here Click Here = in this pic Justin stands in a terrible posture but we can see a bit the shoes .
James Corden(wearing type Airmax) Matthew Horne listed 5"6' =

@Rampage Clover, it’s no dark secret that most celebs were listed 1-2cm too high to begin with, @Editor Rob is actually nice 👍
Arnies stats were something like this
184cm
95kg
8% bodyfat
I’m strong I could roid like arnie but there’s no point I’ve got better things to do like get smarter
