Why do you think Arnold did a three quarter turn and began to pose next to the calm, cool and collected Sammartino?

Yeah, well you're talking about trying to guess men's package sizes by their relative height.  You probably want to see how big their feet are too.  I, however, am talking about muscle mass.

-thicker neck and upper traps, the classic power vs aesthetic look

You're in denial.  You look at men and try to guess "I wonder how he's hung".  I was referring to sheer muscle mass.

As I mentioned above, Arnold has twisted his torso and thrown out his chest.  Arnold has acknowledged in several places that he is a master at creating the illusion he is bigger than he actually is.

No doubt Bruno was a beast, but he was also probably carrying 20% bf there while Sergio and Arnold were maybe 10%. On Bruno that's over 20 extra pounds.

It's his thick neck that is impressive, otherwise he is not dwarfing them at all.  All 3 big dudes.

He was HUGE as was Sergio back in the day, illusion or not.

He was big, but he wasn't as cut. Thing is he's in a suit, put him in similar garb, and he shrinks. There was a story in Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bbing, this story was about how this guy entered a contest and he looked huge in street clothes, as he got ready and removed each layer, he got smaller, until he looked like a smaller but uncut version of himself. Same thing here.

Big bodybuilders will bulge in anything they wear whether its a suit, tee shirt, sweater or a cutt off.

Well, sometimes, if tailored correctly, there is minimal...
Shawn Ray was excellent in having his suits tailored. He said on here that his tailor measured his arms at 18 inches. And while at 5'6-5'7, that is still big, and he was 215-218 his last few contests, but he looked straight out of a Jos. A Bank catalog. And he was comparably bigger than Sergio and Arnold, meaning he had more lean mass, and his arms pretty much matched up with them, and legs for his size were bigger than theirs for their size.

Dude is just more bulkier than Arnold or Sergio, you can see it in his face. Big neck though.

Looks like a mob bouncer from the 50's. Huge though (no homo)

And still looks decent for a 71 yr old (in the pic)

You people are comparing 2 completely different body types and structures. Bruno is built like a solid cast iron fire hydrant while Arnold is built like an aesthetic bodybuilder.

So I guess Sergio was only 5'6"-5'7"? hahaha. Try again. Bruno was 5'10"-5'11" (billed at 6'1") and weighed about 265-275 pounds at the time that pic was taken, so technically, YET, Bruno was the largest (heaviest man in that pic).
