Definitely over 6'4" up until 15 years ago. Is probably 6'3"-6'3.5" nowadays.

Yes, Lou could be at the 6'3"-6'4" rage and his peak height was no more than 195cm. They rounded it up to 6'5".

Could still be 6'3.5 , I think maybe 6'3.25 is probably more accurate though.

Just a thought, I wish this site would use a guy who is exactly 6'0 even as the measuring sick for people. That would make it easier to judge the heights of some of these big bodybuilder/wrestler types. These guys are so big body wise that they dwarf a 5'8 guy and look to be taller than they really probably are. At 6'0 you are able to hang much better with the 6'3-6'4-6'5 guys and you can get a better feel. If you stuck a regular guy that was 4 inches taller than Manum in that picture I bet Ferrigno would just be a tad taller. At 5'8 everybody is going to look way tall.
Been discussed, but you must realize that Rob would probably love that (even though he didn't respond to you comment), BUT, SOMEONE has to be up for the position. Someone who actually MEETS the stars and provides the pics to Rob on a regular basis the way Glenn does AND that guy would have to be 6'0" on top of it. People like that don't grow off trees and I'm sure would want money for their services.

Yes you lose height as you get older,from gravaty,but the taller you are, the hevyer you are and posture all play a part,in the speed of loss,I was 180cm when I was 21 in the Army,now im 46 and only 178cm,this 1.5''loss seems to be about right for an older weightlifter,geoff capes is about 60 now and he said on TV he used to be 6'5.5'' now he is only 6'4''.
2cm is NOT 1.5" Chaz....haha.. 2cm = 3/4"inch. I don't know how you do your math. There is 2.54cm in 1" INCH. Again, you have lost 3/4" inch since you were 21, NOT 1.5". This is about normal. seeing that most men by 50 will have lost 1" and .5" every subsequent decade.

Just saw a picture with him next to his two sons. It's on Getbig.com. His oldest son is 6'3" according to Carla (Lou's wife) and Lou is SLIGHTLY taller than him. This is a VERY recent pic. Lou is DEFINITELY STILL OVER 6'3".

Actually I'm coming around to the idea of Ferrigno being 6ft4 now and 6ft4.5 in his prime. I think the only reason he would've lost 1.5 inches was because if he, like Arnie took steriods during his bodybuilding days. I think those supplements have an effect on your height aswell has your genitals.

I never said he was 300lbs in the 1977 WSW he was 278lbs then,he was measured with 231/4''arms in the mag Joe Weiders mucsle power,from june 1981,in that he says he his over 300lbs,and in the 1977 WSM he wins the bar bend,the car lift,and he comes 3rd over all.he could have won it, but thay had a funny way of marking it,in the last avent the tug o war the winner got 20 points,the same thing hapend in 1979,Bill Kazmaier was leading,but cos of the 20 points,for the winner of the tug o war he come 3rd as well.Ola i do not remmber Alexander karelin being in any WSM,but he may have been in some other strong man event.
His arms were down to 21" for the filming of Hercules in 1982. He reduced his bodyweight from 271 pounds to 262 pounds for the role, but apparently he was in Mr. Olympia like conditioning. I have the pictures from an old Muscle and Fitness magazine. All I have to say is that he would have destroyed Arnold if he had THAT look 7-8 years earlier.

Ola, Lou was at this largest in 1992-1993. He bulked up to 325-335 pounds at just over 6'4". Arms were up to 23.25" pumped and his chest 60" pumped. MAN did he look incredible then. Until recently he was maintaining a bodyweight of 285 pounds but I personally believe that he looks to be around 250 pounds nowadays. It's possible that he is 260-270 pounds but I doubt it.

He still has excellent posture and wears boots sometimes which can put him aorund the 6'4 mark , but barefoot I'd say he's arouund 6'3.25 nowadays.

WOW, where do you pull these stats from??? He was not a BULKED UP 300 pounds in 1977. In fact, he weighed between 270-280 pounds back then and his measured chest measurement was 58".

6'4.5" for Ferrigno peak (6'5" early morning out of bed height). He was as tall as 6'5" Brian Oldfield in the World Strongest Man contest in 1977. He was about 3 inches taller than 6'1.5" Arnold Schwarzenegger (6'1.75" morning out of bed height) in 1975 Pumping Iron.
I do admire how good Lou looks at such an old age. While most bodybuilders become unrecognizable (like once awarded "the most perfectly developed human being on earth" Arnold Schwarzenegger who has heaps of fat everywhere on his body and a weird body proportions), Ferrigno kept himself in incredibly good shape (much like, Serge Nubret who is 73 and looks better than many bodybuilders do in their 20s).

only 250? ok... he was up to 320 in his peak i believe
summer 1993 he was almost 340 pounds. Went down to 318-320 pounds for the 1993 Mr. Olympia in the fall and was back up to 325-330 pounds days later. The lightest this man has ever weighed at his height was 220 pounds in the mid-late 80's. He averages 250-285 pounds though. Today he is looking 250 pounds to me. He could be as high as 260 pounds but I don't think so, considering he appears to clearly have lost height.

She is saying that their son is 6'3" and 245 pounds when Tepper asks her to give their SONS stats. LEARN English. This is SO basic. DO NOT try and mislead people in believing that she was talking about her husbands height and weight. She was talking about their sons.

We don't know James but it is clear that Ferrigno doesn't look 6'5" nowadays. A human can't lose two inches because of weightlifting. The only result is that his 6'5" height announcement was obviously a fake. If Lou said 6'4 1/2" in his prime then he was no taller than that. Maybe there was a possibility that Ferrigno was 195cm (maybe straight out of bed).

And if Lou was 6'4 1/2" in his prime then I don't know why the hell he was listed at 6'5". But being 6'4 1/2" in his prime gives us truly an advice that Lou is almost 6'4" today. So 6'3 1/2" is in the deal.

Yes, there is at least an inch height difference between Victor and Lou in King of Queens. If Lou was 6'4 1/2" on this time, then nothing prevents Victor on being 6'6" tall. Victor's height is definitely downgraded for an inch.

Lou claimed his height as 6'4 1/2" and I dodn't know if he said it in his prime or nowadays. Rob, do you probably know when exactly Lou stated his height as 6'4 1/2"?
His PRIME.
His last measured height was for the Masters Olympia in 1994, where he measured slightly over 6'4". Question is, how much height has he lost in the last 14 years.

Big King,I was quite shocked when I saw the difference in height between Lou and Victor on 'The King Of Queens'. At the time I was sure that Lou was 6'5 but thought there was 1.5 maybe even 2 inches between them. Victor looks like a 6'6 dude,he's mentioned as 6'5 on the show but looks taller,anyway very strong 6'3 for lou today (23:00 GMT).

Well, 6'2" and 6' are ridiculous downgraded estimations but you are right that especially Lou's height has been overestimated. Lou has never been 6'5", more likely 6'3 1/2" or 6'4". Maybe he has shrunk from 6'4" to 6'3" yet. Different height results and sources just tell that Lou was possibly 195cm (a shade under 6'5") in his prime. Lou also looked just an inch taller than Eric Bana, who is 6'2 1/4" on CelebHeights. So Lou is just slightly over 6'3" nowadays. 6'3 1/2" or 6'3 3/4" sounds good for Lou's current height.

Lou was possibly 195cm (6'4 3/4") in his prime so I'm sure that his 195cm height got confused with 6'4 1/2" and 6'5". Ferrigno was 195cm and has shrunk to 192cm now. That makes him look almost 6'4" nowadays. So 6'3 1/2" is where I put the money on.

Look at the size of his head-Lou looks 6'3". I stood next to him a few times at the Mr. Olympia Expo last year and kept bumping into him around the hotel. He is at least 6'3 " and if he could manage to stand up straight and sort his posture out then he would be closer to 6'4". Also stood next to Jay Cutler-same height as my mate-5'8" tops but looks so much shorter and Ronnie Coleman 5'10" tops.

His height was stated as 6ft 5in in 'Pumping Iron' several times. I think it could have been his morning height. The sound of 'six, five' resounds in a way, 'six, four and a half' never could, particularly when you enunciate the 'five'. So I'm sure the temptation was there.

He is about the same height as Hogan in those recent pictures, definatly not any shorter and maybe a fraction taller. I think Lou was a small 6'5 peak, about 6'4.75 and is about 6'3.75 now. Hogan was a small 6'6 peak, about 6'5.5 and is about 6'3.75 now.

I wonder why Lou has lost so many inches (from 6'5" down to 6'3"). What was the reason for it? Did he have any surgeries or something in that way?

I guess I know that Lou was 6'5" with shoes and his height, barefoot was 6'4". Now he has shrunk an inch or something and without shoes he could be 6'3".

I've estimated him as 6-4 before, but more I investigate him more I believe he can be 189 or 6-2.5, I think he has a big head and puffy hair and that's what makes him look even taller, so I stand for 189cm or 6-2.5, please let me know what you think Rob, Thanx.

TopCuarton,
you are right.
I remember when as a young boy I read on an italian bodybuilding magazine after his victory at the 1973 Mr Universe.
His height was 192 cm. And the IFBB Mag went on saying that he was 8 cm more than Arnold.

markus,
It's typical for most modern bodybuilders to have upper arms that are bigger than their calves. There are a lot of current pros that have arms between 22" and 24", but calves that don't even reach 20". There used to be a lot more emphasis on calf development and the ideal is that your upper arms and calves are meant to be roughly the same size.
Strangely enough, Ferrigno has been accused of having calf implants for his 1990s bodybuilding comeback. So obviously that was either just a made up rumour or they've been taken out!

He looked to me 3 inches taller than arnold in pumping iron, and an inch taller than his dad who was around 6-3 (190 cm).
He was at least 6-4 (193 cm) and not 6-5 as he was listed back then.
Arnold himself in his youth was slightly over 6-1.
Judgin' from Pumping Iron's barefoot pre-contest frames, I think 186 and 193 are the real heights of arnold and lou.

Well, I'm hasitating on Ferrigno's height. Is he really 6' 5"? In King of Queens Lou looked half an inch shorter than Victor Williams (Deacon Palmer). Well, but I think that Victor Williams looks very tall in King of Queens. Is there a possibility to add Victor Williams to celebheights? Victor is often listed as 6' 5" but he is easily over 6' 5". 6' 5.5" or even 6' 6".

Lou was listed at 6'5 278 for the 1978 worlds strongest man competion. I would say that he was always about the same size as Hogan if not taller, If Lou had gone into pro wrestling he would have been listed at least 6'7+ and the sky's the limit for what his weight would have been put at, probably 340+

Actually Alex he didn't look that tall to me in Pumping Iron, more like another ordindary 6-4. I'm guessing in reality he must been around 6-4.5" for them to have called him 6-5 unless he was measured 6-5 with shoes (he was always wearing flat trainers). They described him at 6-5 275lbs, I guess off season he's 300+, I can't recall if they mentioned his off season in the documentary.

It is a lot of shrinkage and that much shrinkage is very extreme for someone his age but it does appear that Ferrigno has lost a significant amount of height because judging by his recent pics he does look around 6'3", but back in his 'Pumping Iron' days he does look close to 6'5".

In all of the pictures above, Lou does not have very good posture. He leans in with the neck forward putting his chin down. That is not how a person stands up straight. For pictures, sometimes tall people will lower their posture. I think currently he may be more than 6'3" and possibly up to 6'4".

Brother_h, Lou Ferrigno was never "billed". Lou is not a wrestler. He is not a character. He was a professional bodybuilder who was between 6'4" and 6'4.5" in his prime. Hogan was a professional wrestler who was billed at 6'8", but was only 6'5"-6'6" in his prime. Both are the same age, but Hogan has had MANY operations, which have taken off a lot of height. He is down to about 6'3"-6'3.5" today.

Cantstop, he was very tall for a bodybuilder. Arnold was too. Most body builders are in the 5'8-5'10 range. 5'11 and up is tall for a bodybuilder.

Neither of them are 6'5". Both are struggling with 6'3"-6'3.5" today. Lou WAS 6'5", or possibly 6'4.5" and Hulk Hogan WAS 6'6".

I met Lou at the comic con in Chicago just this past summer and he looked 6'3" to me. He stood right next to my friend Jack who is 6'3" and they looked about the same to me.

What's amazing is that The ROCK appeared as much taller over Glenn, as Lou does over the Supes brothers and YET Glenn is only 5'8" and these guy's are 5'9" and Supes claims Lou is 6'3" and The Rock claims 6'4". Something is wrong.
I believe that Lou was a legit 6'4.5" in his younger day. Hovering around 6'4" today, or maybe a bit less.

He was standing straight quite a lot and he never looked above 6'3". I've stated previously though that my brother and I were wearing sandals while Lou was in tennis shoes so that gave him a slight height advantage (maybe 1 inch). But honestly, there'll be no convincing fan boys who refuse to see their childhood idol as anything less than larger than life. I too was the same way until I met him myself. Still a massive guy but not quite as much as I had imagined.

Viper, with all your experience on this site, I'm surprised you even take that pic of Arnold and Lou seriously??? I mean, we can't see their feet, which is rule 101 on this site, PLUS, it's clear that Lou is in casual clothes and probably sandles with what he's wearing and Arnold looks to be dressed up, with probably leather boots AND Arnold is closer to the camera as well. Compare them in all the 1974 Mr. Olympia pics I provided, of them barefoot. I would have expected more from you Viper.

Yeah, Lou has lost height. He was probably just over 6'4" by 1992-1994 (his comeback years) and today is 6'3" and change. I have no doubt that he was 6'4.5"-6'5" in his prime.
BTW, you guys may not know this, but Lou only weighed 220 pounds in that second (group) pic with Dave Draper. For his comeback in the 90's, he went up to 325 pounds!!!! That's over 100 pounds weight gain.

Yes, pics DO lie Gramps, especially when not all of the subjects can be seen. "Lifts" also lie as we all know. Without seeing their feet, what they're standing on, their legs bending, etc.. can't conclusively tell anything from your pic. Is Draper wearing lifts? Is Lou's legs bent or is he stooping a bit just to be at Draper's level for taking a better picture? Danimal's latest full-body one is much more conclusive, plus most body-building sites say Lou was 6'5 in his prime such as this one:

Someone do the math here. I am providing you with a real gem of a pic taken in the early 1980's (1982-1983). It's a pic of Lou with 6'1" Gunnar Rosbo. A HUGE bodybuilder from Norway, who weighed over 240 pounds in competition. They said he could have been the next Arnold. Lou is standing next to him in runner's, which probably give him just over an inch. Take that into account, how many inches do you think he has on the 6'1" bodybuilder? Click Here

Hard to believe that Hogan is less than 6'3" today when you compare him to his 5'11" daughter. He still has what looks like a solid 4 + inches on her. Even that's pretty sad seeing he used to make 6'3"-6'4" men look kind of small back in the day.

So, if Lou isn't 6'4", then what is he Viper? Take into account, whatever height you give him, that's the same height you're giving Hogan as well, or maybe even less. Gauging from all those pics up there, Lou is at least 6'3.25-6'3.5" and not less. The man claimed to be 6'4.5"-6'5" back in the day and he wasn't a wrestler. He was a pro-bodybuiler.

Nice to see the editor got to meet Lou himself. I won't argue with your estimation of 6'3" for his height as that is very close to what I put him at too. Now maybe those fans that claim that Schwarzenegger is still 6'2" can concede that the man has got to be around 6 foot tall in reality since he's always been billed as 3 inches shorter than Ferrigno.

I'm willing to accept that Ferrigno is regraded to 6'3". Any lower, I think would be a mistake. And I still think there's a slight chance he could be closer to 6'4". But, as I have said, judging by many people's stories I think 6'3" is a good safe bet until someone proves otherwise.

I did think Lou was (today) just a flat 6'2'', but after your encounter and pic with him I'll give him another half inch to 6'2 1/2'' in my book. ;)

Editor Rob 189-190cm range I would agree on. As for Foley, really can look a 6ft 2 guy when he stood tall. He doesn't look that tall in my pic with him (yes, I will add this end of week). Of course, he's not near what he has claimed to be in the past, which is 6ft 4, although maybe he's lost some height...hmm. I was looking at some older pics of him, and you know he could look taller in the past...
its much easier estimating guys a few inches within your height, I've changed my mind in the past - i.e. this page after seeing the pic with her I had, she was taller than I first thought...

In the Night Court episode, Lou is barefoot and Laroqutte has dress shoes. Lou also slouches with his shoulders forward, and not standing straight. The picture with Hulk Hogan--Hogan is closer to the camera. They are about the same height, and the black doo rag on Hogan gives an optical illusion of height. I worked for Rick Springfield who is a tall 6'2". He was on an episode of the "Hulk", and Lou was about two inches taller. My brother who is 6'2", met Lou about 10 years ago, and thought he was about 6'4".

His massive physique adds to his perceived height, which is why I dwelled on it. I too have Ferrigno's book "My Life as the Hulk" and I found it very odd that he never mentioned his height anywhere. He mentioned his weight many times but he never stated that he was 6'5" tall, which you'd think he'd have mentioned somewhere.

Yeah, this dude is still an incredible specimen in person. Hands down the most buffed guy I've ever met. Although he wasn't as tall as I'd assumed, he was still very imposing and a hell of nice guy. He was the only celeb that was willing to get of their chairs from behind the tables and come pose with fans standing up, shaking hands or embracing. I have some video I shot of that day where I was talking to him for 15 minutes about the show and his thoughts on the 2002 Hulk film. He said is was good but it lacked the heart of the 70's TV series. I couldn't have said it better myself.

he's not as big as he used to be during his hulk days and pumping iron and stand tall of course he's around 54 or 55 but is a great specimen in his own way and i would like to see a hulk movie sequel with him having a more onscreen cameo it would be real neat.

lou is on the king of queens once in a while playing himself i saw him on an episode oh bout a month ago and is still looking good these days probably shrunk over the years, any way victor willams who plays deacon is tall himself bout 6-5 6-6 at the most and has an inch or 2 over lou in an earlier episode about a couple years ago e although i never saw them stand together so i can't get a read that may give us an idea because they are both tall men.
