@Dmeyer=Tom Arnold 6"1'? Lot's of comparisons are showing he's around 5"11'.Here is another comparison= Tom next to Joe Manganiello = Click Here .Now the height chart of Joe/Rob = Click Here = the 6"0' mark matche with his eyes 5"10' with the top of his noise.I don't take even in consideration Joe had a fraction more shoes here.And he's standing straighter next to Rob and Jenny than next to Tom Arnold .....Tom in this pic(2017) was in his 58 i doubt he lost a lot of height .In other comparisons Bill Paxton /Tom Arnold ,the result is the same = he looks a little bit shorter than Bill and the pic was taken in 2002,Tom was only 43 here Click Here .In an old pic next to Rob Lowe(5"10') same result = he looks around 5"11' never 6"1' Click Here = you can see Tom slouch but Rob Lowe break his bust to go in the pic .And more recently around the same difference between Tom /Rob = Click Here .My guess is always Tom Arnold 5"11' Arnold peak around 6"0'

Yeah he probably just didn't touch his head with the stadiometer. It's pointless to pretend like a measurement, just because it's official and done by a doctor is automatically reliable; we all know quite well their common incompetence even in doing such a simple task as that. That's why I think that Rob is deeply wrong in trusting official measurements as much as he does (but I'm glad that he downgraded Wade at least, despite that (ridiculous) official measurement).

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

I used to think 6'1.25" was possible and they rounded up a bit but after seeing him with so many others 6'1" flat looks more likely. He only had 2" on a 5'11" peak Belushi in Red heat and he did look shorter than 6'2" James Cameron/ George Bush Snr.

He could get away with it at times as he has a huge collection of cowboyboots and we all know you can look an inch taller with that kind of footwear. He would have been very close to 6'3" in boots depending on the model.

Imo the bodybuilders were more or less all advantaged with their official heights.i want to say some of this bodybuilders were listed 6"0' and were looking in reality something like 5"10'= this is only my own opinion but i have already posted some pics that can eventually show imo incohérences of some heights of this guys.When some of this bodybuilders have taken their measure with Vince basille's stadiometer they have lost (if my memory is good)something like 0.5 inch=but if they have lost 0.5 inch of their official heights,then the stadiometer was always around 1.5 inches too generous...Of course this is only a supposition ...that probably houss won't like very much....

Tom Arnold IS not 1mm under 185,5cm Peak i met him 15 years back actualy looked 186 but had bigger shoes

Johan no one lose 1 cm around 49-50 years old, my own father, 54 years old now, didn't lose even 1 cm yet, maybe 4-5 mm, and he's a sedentary person, he's still a legit 187 cm. Around 70 years old you can expect 2 cm of height lost or a bit more, it's subjective.
------------

Except millions of people do lose height in their 50's some even earlier. Medical publications support this, anecdotal evidence is useless.

Arnold would be on the top end of height loss but it is possible. You should also take a look at Dolph Lundgren, also a fit guy who lost an easy 4-5cm.

I agree from A to Z! Arnold was probably 184 cm barefoot or 6'0.5 in his hey day!. This is the truth. Nowdays is a 179 or 5'10.5 guy at most there are evidences on this page so many!. He lost 5 cm at best The max he was is 6'0.5

Click Here Reg Park was maybe not as tall as 6"1' ,here next to Rick Wayne listed 5"8' i guess him shorter than this mark . Click Here Here Arnold and Reg next to Dave Draper .Dave Draper isn't standing perfectly straigh(legs).He's listed 6"0'in web but look at this = Click Here =the first 20 seconds he's standing next to Raymond Bailey listed 5"10'(that is probaly his peak height)and looks maybe one inch taller than him.At 2:42 /2:43 he's standing face to face with Max Baer Jr listed 6"4' here = he looks under 5"11' here.

I totally agree dude. Arnold was around 6'0'' peak. I see 6'0.5 in his best peak day!
Johan 185 cm said on 14/Jul/19
@Pierre

At 48 yrs old you shouldn't have lost anything yet, in your 50's 1cm and at 60 1cm is quite normal shrinkage. You have outliers who only lose a few mm's and the other side who lose maybe a good inch or more.

70's though it can be a huge difference, i know a few guys from work who are still close to their peak while others have 5 cm loss.
Johan 185 cm said on 14/Jul/19

6-0 is too low.

6-1 minimum. The 6-1.5 measurement at night by a guy who hated Arnold backs up that he looked 6-1 usually with others

----------

Not sure about that being a night measurement. Could have been very early morning as Arnold had the typical regime of getting his first workout in the early hours. I highly doubt 6'1.5", unless Vince didn't shove it down on his skull but leave it on hair.

I have an uncle who was a bodybuilder in his youth , he is 61 yo he use to be 173cm and now he's 168 or less , and he told me that he's now Shorter than some of his friends who he once was taller than them , bodybuilding causes height loss with time

Sotiris Gravas said on 13/Jul/19
Just remember: a movie , like "Total Recall" (1990), can make Arnie look however tall it wants -- seen here w/ stunt double Peter Kent... This: Click Here vs. This: Click Here

W/ all due respect to ppl w/ a dissenting opinion, the pic w/ Sally Fields 100% proves he was never 6'1", let alone 6'1.5". I prefer photographic evidence, not the word of someone, a fan of his or otherwise, who claims he measured Arnie at a so-and-so height. Also, my previous post of Arnie w/ 5'9" Leroy Colbert shows him looking shorter than ppl want him to be.
Hong said on 13/Jul/19
There are so many celebrities out there who exaggerated their heights in the past it's very difficult to pinpoint their genuine heights, and now their old, shrinkage has to be taken in to account too. But nowdays it's more difficult for them to get away with it so they have to be more honest and upfront about their heights, for example Dwayne Johnson originally listid as 6ft5 knew he could not get away with claiming this height when he became more famous, so he changed to what was a more realistic height for him of 6ft3,but if he had of being around in the fifties,sixties, seventies,eighties and even up till the mid nineties he could have gotten away with the 6ft5 claim, and then in old age just have said he shrank more than average because of his lifestyle, with all the heavy lifting and injuries he suffered during his career. To be honest I think Arnold was a somewhere between 6ft and 6ft1 peak.
Animus said on 13/Jul/19
@Pierre

Well, I'd place even odds on 6'1¼ versus 6'1½. He did look about the same as the great Reg Park, who was listed at 6'1.

Yeep and you can clearly see he is 3 solid inches on Arnold! Maybe the black guy was even less than 6'4 and has even more than 3 inches on Arnie! I can't see Arnold over 6'0.25 on the movie

Charles Meshak is listed 6"4' , you can see in the airplane scene he tower Arnold ,he's not even standing straight when he's standing at the same distance to the camera as Arnold(at around 0.15 use eventually the low speed) Click Here In the airport scene we can see their shoes they are looking very similar even the color if my memory is good!

Tom Arnold is not 6"1' he's around the same height as Rob Lowe(5"10') Click Here or Bill Paxton( Click Here ) and even looks shorter than him Click Here Click Here .In True Lies Arnold looks one hair taller than Tom = Click Here Click Here Click Here that gives to Arnold always max 6"0' .James Cameron next to Bill Paxton does not look really 6"2' more 6"1'= Click Here Click Here . Arnold closer to the camera looks shorter than Evander Click Here and later bigger difference because Arnold has probably lost a fraction of height = Click Here .Arnold looks the same height as Carl Weather in Predator in the famous scene " arm wrestling" but the camera is always in a terrible angle that favor Arnold,in an event Carl looks taller than him Click Here even when Arnold is standing closer to the camera Click Here

Has anybody watch Commando? Well by that time the making of the movie was in 1984 and released in 1985. Arnold was just 37 years old and he was in his peak. He looks somewhere 6'0 to 6'0.5. The black guy looks 6'3 in the movie the airport scene the long hair black guy is abut 6'3 at most and has 3 inches on Arnold. Arnold was never over 6'0.5 in his life.
That guy's name is Charles meshack and he was 6'4"
criss said on 11/Jul/19
6'1.25, he was shorter than 6'2 guys (Bush Sr, Cameron) with about 1 inch, he was about the same height with 6'1 guys like Tom Arnold, Evander or Weathers

@Animus= Arnold 186/187 peak? And Lou ? 194? Manny Perry 191 peak?John Larroquette 197 peak? Chet Yorton 185 peak ?Vernon wells 184 peak?
Dmeyer said on 10/Jul/19
Yeah rob 6'1,25 listing will relieve many even going with 6'1,5 measurement thats 6'1 3/8 and maybe that was 11am so 6'1-1,25 IS likely by afternoon
Animus said on 10/Jul/19
Schwarzenegger was pretty clearly 186-187cm in his physical prime. With the wear and tear on his body and the passage of time, it's within reason that he has shrunken as much as he has. There's no doubt that Schwarzenegger's case of height loss is on the extreme end of the spectrum, but he did push his body exceptionally hard for years on end - to a degree that's probably unfathomable to most people.
Myself said on 9/Jul/19
I think a downgrade to 6'1.25 would be more realistic and make many "happy", as also suggested by the average vote...
But I guess Rob likes to stick with officially claimed measurements more...
Importer said on 9/Jul/19
I can see that he was similar to Gerald Butler in height. Never was below 185.5-186cm peak. 186.5-187cm a midday measurement. Just a simple case of a 6'1 - 6'1 1/4 guy claiming 6'2. Nobody should really get suspicious. I was surprised that a 5'9.5 guy challenged him to his claim, most can't tell 1inch difference at that height. Onscreen he could easily look 6'2 in cowboy boots, his muscles helped too I guess.
Peak : 186cm
Now : 181cm
Mr.heighty said on 8/Jul/19
I would bet 1 million Arnold with his head shaved and barefoot would measured max 6'0.5.

Arnold in around 1975 (around 28 years) was clearly three inches shorter than Lou Ferrigno = Click Here Click Here Click Here ,Lou Ferrigno himself looking maybe one inch taller than his stunt double Manny Perry listed 6"2' = Click Here Click Here and looking shorter than John Laroquette listed 6"4' at around 1:10 /1:11 Click Here .Arnold in his 19 looks maybe 6"0' next to Chet Yorton listed 5"11' = Click Here .Arnold in 1984 (in his 37) next to vernon Wells max 5"11'( Click Here )Vernon slouching looks around 6"0' = Click Here Click Here guess him around 5"11.75' peak now probably around 5"10.25'.

It's scientifically proved that a sedentary person can lose 2 cm around 70 years old, Arnold is 72 years old this month. He was a fitness man for all his life, he's highly unlikely he lost something like 5-6 cm when a sedentary person lose on average just 2 cm. Arnold had bad injuries? Some surgeries on his spine? If he lost 5 cm already, is definitely above an average person, I'm not saying is impossible, I'm saying is highly improbable, especially for a fitness man. It's more likely and believable that Arnold never was a 186-187 cm but more like a 184 cm, and now is nothing more than 181 cm. He lied about his height and likely he used to wear lifts inside his shoe when he worked in Hollywood.


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

Alex, every medical journal supports 1 cm loss for every decade after 40 years on average. So by 60's 2cm is normal but by 70 it can vary greatly. Losing between 3-7.5cm is completely normal.

Arnold today looking 179 cm alot means that he was max 186.5 cm going by medical studies max but there are also exceptions due to medical conditions.

Arnold's weightlifting regime was anything but normal and so I am not surprised that he ended up in the top scale of height loss.

I think when he was young, he would be able to measure 6'2" in shoes right out of bed, lol.

@Danimal: I don’t think Hogan has really lost 4”. He’s still around 6’3” today in some pics. Peak Hogan tho I don’t think a full 6’6”. Maybe 6’5.5. I agree Arnold peak 6’1” barefoot is realistic and today 5’10 or 11
Mr.heighty said on 5/Jul/19
@Rob whart's your thought on Alex 6'3.25 said on 5/Jul/19?
I honestly agree from A to Z what he said. At least makes sense believing this which actuallly Arnold looked always on the 6'0 range in the 70's and never over 6'05
Editor Rob
While he sometimes could seem 184cm, I still would be surprised if you measured him that low in the 70's and 80's.
Mr.heighty said on 5/Jul/19
Alex 6'3.25 said on 5/Jul/19
Yep but what is amazing is that Rob who is always pretty accurate on heights and he is an expert on heights guess Arnold at 186 cm at his low and 187 his highest guess.
I agree all you have said Arnold was about 184 and probably lost 4-5 cm like from 184 to 179-180.
Rob's opinion makes Arnold lost 7 cm which is impossible. He lost 5 cm max and of course never looked even over 6'1.
Pierre said on 5/Jul/19
Young Lou Ferrigno next to tall guys looks around 6"3' and nothing over that,Arnold next to Lou both barefoot looks around 3 inches smaller than him ...Do the maths again...

@Johan= When is your comparison in the video?Are they exactly in the same posture?Where is the camera?(Both at equal distance?)when you look at the gates at head height behind them at 34:41 / 34:42 you can clearly watch the difference.No bad angle here= Giulianno 181 give Serge Nubret maybe 177,nothing over.

Comparisons Arnold/Serge Nubret .I doubt Serge was even 5"11' more 5"10' imo.In the movie" Titan"(or " My Son the Hero )Serge Nubret looks clearly shorter than Giuliano Gemma listed 5"11.25'(181) = Click Here = make pauses at around 34:41 34:42 (with the low speed,easier)=they are face to face in same posture at exactly the same distance to the camera .And watch the gates at height weight behind them...There is clearly a difference of height.

Not seeing much difference there and when they shake hands their eyes are level.

Serge was listed from 5'10-6' in imperial but always 180 cm regardless of the imperial. Maybe a 5'10.75" guy but no less.

Shame he is looking down and not standing straight, Sally is stretching up as well. It for sure kills any chance of him ever being 6'1.5"+ but 6'1" is still possible. He looks it when younger next to Serge.

Mr.heighty said on 2/Jul/19
Come on 6'1 is is not a noticeable difference from 6'1.5 and no one would see it. 6'0.5 is a better guess and now is 1 inch which fits better and the difference is of course more realistic
Canson said on 1/Jul/19
@Viper: that’s if he really measured that 6’1.5. He may not have. That’s also if it were barefoot and last but not least if it were a true low. Just because someone measures at night doesn’t mean it’s their low if they have been laying down. That said, I do believe he was 6’1” peak but not sure about 6’1.5

Yep great pic Click Here
It clearly shows Arnold was never over 6'0.5 and in the pic looks 5'11.75 due his posture. He was 6'0.5 at best!

I also think Arnold is 5'10.5 max these days and I've always said he was never over 6'0.5. I agree Sotiris Gravas If you ever saw him taller or guess him over this mark , it was thanks to footwear and camera angles.

Unless it was a shoddy measurement, I think measuring 6-1.5 at night rules out anything under 6-1 IMO

Robert Patrick himself said that Arnie was 6'1"-6'2" : Wrong. He never said Arnold 6'2 he said I think Arnie is about mi size about 6'1. How ever Robert Patrik sounds to round up heights. It's known he was 5'11.25 and claim himself 6'0. Arnie probably was very close to 6'1 in 1991

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

Nope not wrong, the man said it in a live interview back in the 90's that Arnold was 6'1"-6'2" while he was 6'. He didn't say then that he was the same size, anyone with eyes could see he was thin and noticeably smaller.

edit: You just pulled that from Rob's page, thats a comment from well after the time period. He put on alot of weight after 40's ofc he weighs almost the same now.

Can we all ignore @pierre he's a hater , he hates Arnold , and his hate affect on his guess
Jimbo hopper said on 29/Jun/19
A safe guess would be peak 6-0.5 or 6-1 max. Now he’s ever chance under 5-11 bare foot. I’d actually say he’s 5-10 next to Lewis Hamilton
Ian C. said on 29/Jun/19
How reliable are the measurements assigned to professional bodybuilders? Were they exaggerated, is what I'm getting at here. Arnold's chest measurement at the height of his career is given as a few inches shy of five feet, which is just huge. Bodybuilding has always seemed a little squalid to me, and I am annoyed that a man who couldn't deliver dialogue with any credibility became a movie star, but you can't argue with the proposition that Arnold possessed a magnificent beauty. It is astonishing to me that his career endured after that beauty was gone, when he had so little else to offer.
viper said on 28/Jun/19
6-1 peak, but he did measure 6-1.5 at night.

Don't know If he laid down for a while before that
rism90 said on 28/Jun/19
@Rob
However Arnold had a thicker hair sometimes the militar classic style so If you measure a young Arnold barefoot with his head shave like a perfect measurement he would had been more 6'0.75 and 6'1 tops
rism90 said on 28/Jun/19
@Rob
Nice Rob. So your guess is somewhere a low of 185.5 and a hight of 186.6 cm. I agree maybe 185 range but over 186 or 186 range seems a little higher to me.

I have never ruled out the chance of 6ft 1.25 peak.

Wrong. Arnold is closer to the camera and the difference is less. R.Ptrick himself said Arnold is about his size about 1 inch taller and Arnold has thickers boots.
Johan 185 cm said on 27/Jun/19

Pierre said on 26/Jun/19
Well I mean 181 a peak Robert Patrick. I think without a doubt Robert Patrick was a 5'11 so this is important to compare height next to Arnie.. Safe to say he was not less than 5'11 and not over 5'11.25. so this stimation I think is accurate
rism90 said on 27/Jun/19
@Rob In spite the "6ft 1.5" measurement from Vince Basille what's your personal guess for Arnie in the 70's?
Editor Rob
Anywhere from a low of 6ft 1 to a high of 6ft 1.5...I think most people rule out the idea of 6ft 1.5-2 range for arnie. The majority seem to guess him either 6ft 1, 1.25 or 1.5
rism90 said on 27/Jun/19
@Rob do you really think he had lost by 1990 at 43 and how much. Looks barely an inch or less on Robert Patrick..
Editor Rob
A fraction maybe by mid 40's, but generally he still seemed about 6ft 1 in the 90's.
Pierre said on 27/Jun/19
Pic Arnold/Robert Patrick( Click Here ) = When you look at the feet and shoulders Arnold is the one who is standing closer to the camera .According Arnold isn't standing perfectly straight but Robert Patrick has to watch the camera that is very low and so is not standing perfectly straight,he's standing imo a little bit more straight than Arnold.

rism90 said on 24/Jun/19
Arnold looks more a strong 5'10 nowdays guys like 5'10.25 range or probably 5'10.25 before bed. He lost about 2-2.5 inches. Just watched the making off Terminator 2 and he was 6'2 with boots. When I see him barefoot looks closer to 6'0 than 6'1. This is my opinion. I'm talking about autumn 1990 so he was in his peak.. I'd guess he was 6'0.5 tops and Robert Patrick 5'11.25

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

Thats pretty typical of how they stack up to each other without angles and lifts being used by Stallone.

Arnie usually looks 2.5-3 inches taller than him the last few years. It did look more 4 inches in their younger years so Sly definetly lost less height.

Sly is around 5'8" today so Arnie is 5'10.5"-5'11", which he has looked with other posters and other celebs.

I think peak it was 5'9" Sly and 6'1" Arnie.

Aujourd'hui, Eric Holder (facturé à 5'11 '') se tenait à côté de Schwarzenegger pour une photo-op sur la lutte contre Gerrymandering (une chose proche du cœur de Schwarzeneggers) - les deux ont fait la pose Dillon / Dutch (Predator). Quoi qu’il en soit, regardez la hauteur des épaules des deux hommes (ne comparez pas le haut des têtes, c’est plutôt trompeur; la hauteur des épaules est plus précise), Holder n’est pas juste un peu plus grand que Schwarzenegger, mais doit aussi se pencher adapter le cadre.

Donc, en supposant que le titulaire est vraiment 5'11 '. Arnold ferait probablement 5'10 '' ou peut-être même plus petit. Je doute fort que Schwarzenegger ait jamais été un 6'2 '', comme il l'a affirmé la majeure partie de sa vie, car personne ne reculerait de 10 centimètres (3,3 pouces) sans se couper les pieds ou quelque chose du genre. Si l'image de la photo-op est crédible, si Holder est vraiment aussi grand qu'on le prétend, si les deux hommes ne portaient pas des hauteurs de talon trop différentes, alors la hauteur donnée de 5'11 en tant que Schwarzeneggers affichée sur ce site ne peut pas être précise. , parce que le titulaire est à cette hauteur mais aussi beaucoup plus grand que Schwarzenegger. Mais encore une fois: ce n’est qu’une image et nous ne les voyons que de la poitrine. Alors, qui sait quel était le contrat pour cadrer l’image de cette manière?

Today Eric Holder (billed at 5'11'') stood next to Schwarzenegger for a photo-op about combating Gerrymandering (a thing close to Schwarzeneggers heart) - both made the Dillon / Dutch pose (Predator). Anyway, look at the shoulder height of both men (don't compare the top of the heads, this is mostly misleading; shoulder height is more accurate), Holder is not just a tad taller than Schwarzenegger, but also has to lean in to fit the frame.

So, assuming Holder really is 5'11'. this would make Arnold probably a 5'10'' or maybe even smaller. I highly doubt that Schwarzenegger ever was a 6'2'' as claimed by him most of his life, because nobody would shrink down a whopping 10 centimeters (roughly 3.3 inches) without, you know, chopping off their feet or something. If the photo-op image is credible, if Holder really is as tall as it is claimed, if both men were not wearing all too different heel-heights, then the given 5'11 as Schwarzeneggers height displayed on this site, can not accurate, because Holder is at this height but also significantly taller than Schwarzenegger. But then again: It's just one image and we only see them from he chest up. So, who knows what the deal was for framing the image in this way?

Anyway, the link to the photo-op image:

@Johan 185 cm a 183 cm claim is a real 180 cm. Everyone has a wrong perception of a real height or gives his footwear measure. In 2014 Arnold was 180 cm and today is 179. He was 184 cm max.

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

He looked 181-182cm next to confirmed 186 Evander Holyfield just a few years ago. In 2010 he still looked 183 cm next to confirmed Chris Eubank.

He was only 3 inches shorter than 6'4" range Dolf Lundgren and had at least 2.5 inches on 5'10.5"-5'10.75" George Clooney. He also had 2 inches + on a peak Jim belushi 5'11".

He might have still been close in 14" but he has really been around 5'11" 180cm for a couple of years now. He is in his 70's so its normal that he shrinks more.

----

Alot of your pics I don't agree with as good evidence but this video is very useful. I still believe Dolph was 6'4.25" peak and Arnie is a good 3 inches under there at all points when passing or standing next to him.

He also doesn't look taller than 6'1.25" listed Holyfield when he doesn't stand closer to the camera. Its what I have always believed that he was 6'1-6'1.25" max peak. His 6'1.75" claim is most likely a out of bed measurement.
Pierre said on 4/Jun/19
@Sotiris = Good finds.In the video at 6:00 the camera is very low and Arnold a lot closer then i think it's a good advantage for him.In the pic/video i don't know what were his shoes ,maybe cow boy shoe,in the pic imo he looks shorter than Evander because his eyes are lower than Evander's eyes and Evander has a long forehead his eyelevel is bigger than Arnold's eyelevel so logically the top of his head is higher than Arnold's top of head.Here is a pic with Arnold standing next to a tall bodybuilder ,Spiros Bournazos who claim himself in an interview 187(6"1.5') (i don't know the shoes) = Click Here .Another Eraser promo 1996 Arnold a little bit closer to the camera so logically an advantage of camera for him(hairs don't count of course) = Click Here

Yeas so Arnold was definitely nearly 10 cm (3.5 inches) shorter than Lou Ferrigno.
Lou was 6'3.5 (192 cm) barefoot and Arnold 183-184 cm (6-6'0.5). This is the truth just those who said he was 6'1 or 6'2 should accept the truth and not believe this marketing has always been..

Pierre, the photo I provided of Arnold and Evander was not Arnold in his absolute prime. I used to have a picture in a magazine in the late 80's/early 90's with Arnold standing right next to Evander and Arnold was slightly taller than him. Arnold was at least 6'1" during his prime. Today, he's lucky if he's a fraction over 5'10".
Badman said on 28/May/19
Always gave me the "above 6'1 but not quite 6'2" impression at his peak, so 6'1.5 is really spot on.
He was slightly taller than legit 6'1 flat guys like Carl Weathers and Tom Arnold, who funnily are taller than him nowdays (they aged better).
Nowdays he is just 5'11 flat at 70+, bodybuilders seem to lose more height than average, I also think he had several injuries which contributed to his above average shrinkage.
Johan 185 cm said on 28/May/19

Back then he in 86' he still looked peak height. He had slimmed down for movies, lost alot of mass and was standing alot straighter. Hard to see him under 6'1" there.

187cm is not a joke for Arnold at all peak just like 185cm peak for Harrison Ford isn’t ridiculous.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 23/May/19
Anywhere 185.5-187.5cm peak is arguable. Not above or below that

Clooney was at the very least 179cm and likely 179,5 like rob list him at Peak , Arnold dosnt look less than 5,5-6cm taller so 184,5cm and 186cm depending so Peak 185-186 is likely

Yes I full agree. Commando is one of my favorite Arnold's movies and I've always thought the same. If he really was a legit 6'2 guy or a strong 6'1 they would say 6'3. Overall he never looked 6'1 to me. I agree he probably was around 184 cm or 6'0.5 range. Maybe he was 6'2 with boots on his ey day. Today is 5'10 range. 179 at morning.

He was never over 185cm / 6-1 peak. Remember the scene from Commando? The mall security said: "suspect six foot two, brown hair. He is one gigantic mother******". If he was a genuine 6-2, they would of said 6-3 or 6-4. I think prime Arnold was 6-2 only in boots. He may of been 184cm or 6-0.75 prime but no less. He's now 179cm for sure.

@houss I'm actually a fan of Arnold. I used to be a huge fan up until allegations of sexual misconduct and racism were leveled against him. That said, muscles and career have nothing to do with the height one's given. You mentioned my height twice in your post. I'm guessing you're a weak-willed individual w/ a Napoleon complex. Physically, I'd wager even weaker. Go back to staring at his muscles, fanboy. Meanwhile, actual adults here will discuss height.

6'2 with shoes. Arnold wasn't a solid 6'2 barefoot. He was 6'2 in shoes.

Peak 185cm barefoot (around 6'1)
Nowadays 1'81 barefoot more or less 5'11

Sotiris Gravas I think you sir is a liar saying that you measure 6.7 when there is no evidence of that and on the other hand arnold was a solid 6.1 1/2 if you do not want to accept it is your problem but stop lying about the height of arnie when the at its peak if it was 6.1 1/2

@Houss = But your pics can not prove Arnold is 6"1.5' because we don't know/we can not guess even approximately the height of the people who are standing next to him .In the pic Arnold /Franco and others Arnold is standing a lot closer to the camera and so i think the camera give him a good advantage of height.

Pierre arnold was and still taller than you are , he was 6'2" and now 5'11"

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

I used to believe Arnold was 6'2" as well but its obvious that he was 3" under 6'4" range Sven-Ole Thorsen, he looked very similar to Carl Weathers, he was shorter than George Bush Snr and the list goes on. The absolute max I see him being was 186 cm 6'1,1/4 at peak.

Nowadays he can look under 5'11" but its a question of how good his posture might be. He does look 5'10.5" lately alot but still looked near 6' back in 2010.

I mean Andre did have a huge head look how it compares to Wilt but thats 11 inches or so. Andre is now listed at 7' so its hard to argue over 6'1".

Lou Ferrigno looks lots of times 6"3'peak next to others guys and Arnold in good old pics(good angle,both barefoot,same distance to the camera and same postures)never looks only 2 inches shorter than Lou,he looks 3 inches shorter than him imo.Next to Chet Yorton listed 5"11' (both barefoot)Arnold looks only one hair taller than him.I think his big loss of height is more a legend= 5"11.75'/6"0' peak now 5"10.25'/5"10.5' which seems to me even a big lost for a 70 years guy.He might be 6"1.5' in classic shoes after a good sleep at his peak. next to Lou when same distance to the camera same posture(watch the floor for the distance) = Click Here ;next to Chet Yorton listed 5"11' = Click Here .Others next to Lou = Click Here Click Here .another next to Chet Yorton who break his posture/his neck here = Click Here

@halister

That's pretty much what I'd say, though I (personally) wouldn't rule out the Vince Basile measurement. I have been face to face with Arnold on three occasions in the past five years and he's taller than me (at 5'10). I know people who've lost 2 inches by their 60s - one is a friend and the other my father, and in both cases there was no extreme training or injuries/operations to blame - so I've no doubt it happens.
halister said on 24/Apr/19
@Barry
Yeah I full agree. Heavy weight training is not a reason. Height loss is more genetics and injuries. I guess he lost 2 inches from a weak 6'1 to almost 5'11 these days.
Barry Fl said on 24/Apr/19
I don't attribute much of Arnold's height loss to weight-training - more to all his injuries and operations. And maybe it's genetic? Some people do lose a lot more than others after all. But I don't think we can say he lost height because he used heavy weights - he ended his competitive career in his mid 20s after all.

@Rob. Studies indicate a lot of benefits of weightlifting:
Adding strength training into your workout routine plan is great to control bone loss. It improves bone density.
I guess as a professional bodybuilder he might be training very frequently and more into a hypertrophy workout and not into a a strenght routine which is better for bones because you also train less and not so frequentely so bones ligaments and tendons don't damage they get even stronger having more time to recover and get stronger). I mean a strenght program is better because is like: Train smarter. Train less.
For example doing heavy squats 2 times per week but just 2 sets each day since a young age won't make you loose height and It will be amazing for your bones and knees making you so strong with a correct posture. When you are 40-50 you have to be smart and train smarter: Train less and shortly like 30 min workouts 3 times a week. You can train heavy with a correct technique an doing this you will recover perfectly. Arnold as all bodybuilders train at least 5-6 times per week and more into a hypertrophy program where you have to do a lot of exercises per muscle and sets and doing this all his life can't be ideal or good for bones.
I recommend to train heavy till your 40's 50's and then just chill and do more cardio programs. If you've been involved since a kid on fitness or bodybuilding at 50 you can train heavy without any problem.
To conclude for average guys :
Train 2-3 days doing some lifting or fitness machines (65% intensity 12-15 reps and sets (3x12-15 reps all exercises)( Do it for your body muscles and bones. Trust me! It will help to prevent bone problems when you age.
And train 2-3 days doing some cardio exercises: 30 min walking or cardio bikes.
If you can and important.. Stretch every single day and keep walking tall! Not many people do this and you will reduce height loss as you age!
I'm a personal trainer

He lost quite some height at just 70 years of age. Is it common for bodybuilders to lose a lot of height relatively early, Rob? Or does this only happen to people who do it excessively like Arnold?

Think about how much weight he's lifted through his career - a massive amount more than your average man - those discs have taken repeated poundings and stresses over 50 years...it's no surprise he's losing more height than the average 70 year old would.

Depending on how long Arnie lives, he may well go from being a tall man to an average height man.

Heights are barefeet estimates, derived from quotations, official websites, agency resumes, in person encounters with actors at conventions and pictures/films.
