who gives a fuck how big he was
he´s now just a Globalist piece of excrement  ::)
True, but still gives back to the bodybuilding community and has a potentially great son.

I’d say 5’10 there and maybe 5’11.5”-6’ at peak.

I've known two people who stood near Arnold when he was the Governator and both said he was maybe 6' in shoes at that time.

If that's true Mentzer and Zane must have been 5'2".

Not really.  See pic, where Arnold is in shoes and Mentzer isn't.  I'd buy 6'0" or 5'11" for Arnold if Mentzer is 5'7" - 5'8".

Basile measured him, there's no reason to doubt the man,  he has no reason to lie. Musclemag also measured him at 6'1.75" way back and just rounded it up in the mags

If anything, Basile would have claimed he was shorter.

Maybe Arnold used the world famous Viagra shoe lifts when Vince measured him...

Has it occurred to anybody else that those measurements make zero sense at 6'2"? 

Ronnie Coleman had measurements like that at 5'11" and nearly 300 pounds.

Bumstead is 6'1" and weighs in at ~240 or 250 pounds, and is nowhere even close to a 57" chest and 22" arms, lol.

But yeah, I'm sure they measured his height and weight accurately, just like they measured his 57" chest.  ::)

They make sense when you consider both of them had much lower bodyfat than Arnold. If Arnold was as lean as them his measurements would be smaller.

lol.  lmao, even.

Those measurements at 235 pounds at 6'2" are absolutely physically impossible.  57" chest!  Even offseason, fatter than usual, at 260+ pounds, Bumstead is nowhere close.

BTW, I'd swear that Dexter Jackson's chest was measured in his Olympia heyday -- around 2008 or 2009 -- and it was something like 48" or 49".  He was around 220 pounds at 5'5!

Arnold was just under 6'2" when juicing but 5'6" when off.

Ferrigno was 6'4" on and 5'8" off.

Mentzer was 5'9" on and 5'1" off.

Padilla was 5'2" on and 4'6" off.
