Don't care for him that lean.

I think this was his best presentation ever in terms of mass and conditioning:







Must've been at least 250-260 there.

Nope, he weighed 240 pounds during the filming of Terminator 1. There was an article in December 1984 issue of Muscle and Fitness.

For Terminator he was 236 lbs....

His heaviest has been Conan the Destroyer, at the beginning of film Arnold was 236 same as T1, at the end I think he was 241 lbs. (he gained 5 lbs of lean mass) and you can really notice it if you have the dvd specially the scene where he is fighting the monster with the infamous horn .



Woooshhhhhhhhhhhh

In Conan the Barbarian, he averaged 220 pounds and went as low as 212 pounds for the scene where he's left for dead (1982 edition of Muscle and Fitness magazine).

In 1987, I working as a trainer at a gym in NYC where Arnold would train, when in town. I personally observed him step on a scale. He weighed 212.

You are correct, Sir.

He apparently weighed 215 pounds for T2.

Arnold and Bertil ....wonder if someone has more pics of them training together?


Wooosshhhhhhhhhhh

Bertil was a beast there in 1980 (Around 260 pounds). Arnold on the other hand was somewhere between 210-220 pounds. His legs were like sticks in that picture.

Twins was out in 1988 and he was 230 pounds.

No way he was 230 in Twins.  210 - 215.

According to Arnold himself, he was 210 pounds during the film of Red Heat , months later he gained over 10 lbs or so ... he filmed Twins early 1988 ..

And Guys like Don Cestone saw Arnold up close training at Golds during the filming of Twins and says Arnold was looking close to his 1980 form ... Arnold was doing heavy dumbell rows and the back started to look like his former self (he was 40) ... Even Lou asked him one morning if Arnold was attempting to make another comeback .
Dont remember what Arnold answered him but there's a funny anecdote behind it .



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I remember an interview Arnold did for Ironman Magazine in 1988 and he said he was down to 210 pounds for both "Twins" and "Red Heat".

Surprised by that tbh. Thought he looked around 220lbs for T1.

Getting to be 250lb+ is a challenge, and requires lots of drugs and food.

Once you attain that size, you can maintain that size on less drugs and food.

Considering people diet for short periods of time, the risk of muscle loss is almost impossible.

Arnold was NOWHERE near 250 pounds in 1980. In fact, he was sub 200 in the late 70's, due to running every day. In 1980 he was somewhere between 210 and 220 on contest day, which is very lean for someone who was over 6'1" at that time.
