Ronnie is 5'11" ::) Arnold is 6'2" now let it go! Next thing you hear is if arnold really has all those olympia trophys or did he really win that year ::)
-
I think you've been reduced to stealing Ironage threads lol I guess they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery lol
Guniess Book of World Records lists Arnold's height as 6'1" and that sounds about right .

Reg Park was 6'2" and here is Arnold right along side of him barefeet .
-
reg can lie about his height too
not hating on arnold, I think he is one of the best athletes of all time

-
Alexxx is 6'4" and last time I checked he was 241 p :o n d s!
-
Evander Holyfield 6'2" 1/2 Arnold compares favorably
-
Offhand do you know Bob Paris' height ND? I had read he was 5'11 and 2.94 fourths of an inch.
I've read 6'0" even !!
-
Serge Nubret 6'0" Sergio Oliva 5'10" and Arnold !!
-
Reg Park was 6'2" and here is Arnold right along side of him barefeet .
and arnolds knees are bent while reg's are locked out
-
and arnolds knees are bent while reg's are locked out
Good point !!
-
He's between 6"1 and 6"2 that's what most sources cite him as. Either way, who cares... it's not like Sly Stallone lying about being 5"10 while being 5"6-5"7 in reality.
-
Since Arnold lied about all his other stats, I'm sure he lied about his height too.
He looks to be a few inches taller than Ronnie. Shoes would add one inch and shoe lifts can add another two easily. I would say he is about 5'11 in reality.
What do you guys think?
Matt, Mike Katz owns my gym. He is a legit 6'1". In every picture I have seen with he and Arnold the oak is a smidge taller. I bet Arnold was about 6'1.5" in his day.
-
It never ends with you guys. Always a conspiracy or Synthol or
Little hercules has bicep implants, etc.....
I worked on a movie set awile back ( 1999 ) and Stood right next to Arnold. I am 6 foot even barefoot. I was wearing shoes and Arnold was too. He was 2 to 3 inches bigger than me. He was not wearing any lifts ( who came up with that one ) So, 6-2 or taller is a fact !!!!!
End of story and thread. ** I cant wait for some bozo to say
" He must have levatated himself " Newsflash bafoons : He's 6-2.
Side note : I remember thinking he had the biggest noggin I had ever seen. ( Maybe your thread should be about Arnolds Gh head and face )
I'd believe that one. One big horse face he had !!!
-
Exactly. I really don't Arnold would need to lie about his height. According to people on here Arnold lied about his height, weight, waist size and gear he took. It's kind of pathetic.
That's what happens when you're successfull, people will hate on you for everything and try to pick you apart every chance they get.
-
As I said, shoe lifts can easily add a few inches. Given how insecure Arnold was I'm sure he used them.
Matt, how do you "know" Arnold was insecure?
-

Tell me about it.. :-\
-
I have met him twice. I am 5'10 and my father (who was also present) is 6'. Arnold was about two inches taller than him. Hate to burst your bubble but I don't think he was lying. ;D
Yup, the man is around 6'2", I don't understand how anyone would think this is not the case???????

NO NO NO!!!! you are WRONG!!!! Arnold was really a Latvian woman named Olga. All those muscles were actually clay. ;D ;D

I would say that given his mistreatment of Lou in Pumping Iron. What kind of man feels the need to do something like that to a person with a disability and an overbearing father who he was obviously emotionally dependent on?
It's sad people look at Arnold in Pumping Iron and consider that to be confidence. It's just evidence that most people don't know what true confidence really means.
Wow Carl Jung who? ::)
-
Well I am almost 6'1". Take it from there. He is 6'2" at most.

c'on matt,
every knows by now that Arnold f cked with Lou because Arnold caught Lou stealing $20 from his wallet...Lou got off easy...
-
Are you wanting to know how tall Arnold was when he was competing or how tall he is now at age 59? The reason I ask is that there is a lot of corroborating evidence that proves Arnold to be at least 6'1 and a half in his competitive days. Rounding up to 6'2 would only make sense.
Now, at his current age, a little bone loss is possible making him a tad shorter than he was in his 20's. Even with that said there's no way he's 5'11. Anyone who says that is just speculating because there is no evidence to back it up.
Now, can we finally put this to bed? What difference does it make? Does it make you feel better about yourself to think that Arnold is insecure about something? Arnold is the King of bodybuilding, he is one of the most famous actors/action stars in the world, he has more money than he could ever spend, and he's the Governor of frickin' California. I know I don't measure up to that list of accomplishments. But why not just be happy for him and focus on your own life. The fact that you give a shit about how tall he is only illustrates the power and influence he has. It gives the impression that you are hating on him which is incredibly unattractive.
-
you guys are all wrong, Arnold is really 6-6 but he wears special insertions in his shoes that make him 4 inches shorter.
-
What would be the benefit of him lying about his height? He's definitely 6 or above. No big deal. And the fact that he's "a few inches" taller than Ronnie would translate easily to 6 feet or slightly more.
-

Hey man, if Lou couldn't stand the heat, he shouldn't have entered the kitchen. Arnold was the definition of FIERCE competitor. Free speech was used wisely by Arnold; Lou could have came back with something clever but just fell for it and took it. Why didn't Serge Nubret have a problem with it? He handled Arnold quite nicely in the locker room.
It's sad people look at Arnold in Pumping Iron and consider that to be confidence. It's just evidence that most people don't know what true confidence really means.
Man, I hope you never compete brother. It's alot more harsh then you think it is. It's just just a physique competition, there's trash talking, and mind games going on all over the place. Just because you look great doesn't mean you'll do well. You have to be there mentally as well, or you'll fail.
Arnold had balls to say what he said when he said it and HOW he wanted to say it. That's why he's a movie star, that's why he was a champion bodybuilder, and that's why he's running an entire state - all things he CONFIDENTLY said he'd do.
-
Maybe he was 6'-1" when he was younger. I am about 6'-1" (186cm) and when I met him he was about 1.5 inches shorter than me. My guess is he's about 5'-11". He was definitely under 6'-1".
-
You can't gauge someone's height by standing next to them and eyeballing it yourself. I'm respectfully calling BS on your 5'11 estimate.
Even if we took 5'11 at face value and said that Arnold is now 5'11, how the hell did he lose 2 to 3 inches in height over the last 30 years? Is there any precedent for that. What the hell caused him to, shrink, for lack of a better term. This doesn't make any sense at all.
-
He looks about 6-2. Why do people want him to be shorter? ???
-
Matt, Mike Katz owns my gym. He is a legit 6'1". In every picture I have seen with he and Arnold the oak is a smidge taller. I bet Arnold was about 6'1.5" in his day.
This sounds about right. 19 years ago, I worked as a trainer in a NYC health club where Arnold would occasionally train. I'm 6'3", and had Arnold by about an inch.
I also saw him step on a high quality scale. At the time he weighed 212.
How did I remember that exact number?
Hey, it's Arnold.
-
Matt should go back to jerk off at BB DVD's he DL off emule.
-
my friend met him when the 6th day or whatever that shitty movie was came out.
he said he's a legit 6'2".
seeing as how onlyme's the only dude who posted pictures of him with arnold, i'll take his (and my friend's) word for it.
besides...what a stupid topic.
-
Arnold admited he lied about his height as being 6'2" and then claimed to be 6'1".
In reality he's about 5'11"-6'1".
Next to 5'10" Tim Allen.

Arnold isn't taller than Reg Park either.

Ronnie coleman isn't 5'11". He's actually round 5'9". IFBB fudges their weights and heights to make them seem more impressive. Gunter isn't 6'2" either!

you seem obsessed with height matt..you always mention it in your posts...and in your reviews..you sneak it in always and then speculate if they are lying lol..your a weird dude for sure matt. Im greatful for your dvd reviews man, but..you overanalyse things and draw conclusions from too little information.

Napoleon wasn't short either.
A "Napoleon" complex is where shorter people try to overcompensate for their lack of height by being supreme in other areas of life. Though Napoleon himself was above average height for his time(5'7").
Being obsessed with height doesn't mean you have a "napoleon complex".

Being obssesed with other guys' height is no big deal, but I hope you don't get obssesed about Mr. Olympia's dick size, that would be a shame for your girlfriend, get a life pal...

I didn't get that close. But I saw him from 10 yards or so in New York City once [pre-Governator], walking down the street surrounded by a phalanx of bodyguards - whom he stood nearly a full head above. 6' 2" sounds dead on the money to me.
He's still an asshole, of course. But a 6' 2" asshole.

Arnold is short and bald (nice toupee) ;)

This coming from a guy who jerks off to pictures of Jay Cutler then later proclaims he has implants? ???
Yes I am. ;D lol, you hit it.
I haven't said it in quite a while, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to say it once: Arnold dwarfs you ::)......... ;D

Arnold admited he wasn't 6'2".

Likely about 6'0" though.

Where do you come up with all these definative answers?

Arnold sands 6'1 1/2 tall. His military record, from Austria, shows a stature of 1.87 meter.

Hey, it takes the edge off running my business.

I agree. This thread is dumber than dirt ;D
-
He thinks he knows everything. I remember he posted definitive answers about synthol and how it works and then Milos posted how it really works. It is fun to watch him sit back and pretend to know everything. He isn't dumb but claims to know more than he really does.
Synthol should always be written with an accompanying " ::) " ;D

They converted the old French measuring system wrong when they got the 5'2 height.

What was the old French measuring system? The answer is probably more interesting than the rest of the thread.
It's cool, cap86, just trying to help out ;D

Post the military record then.
And prove they actually measured him opposed to asking "how tall are you?"
-

Probably about 11.3 inches.
11.3 inches per foot in french feet would make 5 feet 6 inches about 5 foot 2 inches.

These are critical thinking skills people are not trained to apply.
Too true.

Arnold is make believe.

Unreal, I was thinking the same thing. WHo cares how tall he is. And people are argueing over 1/2". WHo cares. All but a couple have actually even met Arnold. And meeting Arnold doesn't always tell you how tall he is. He may be wearing boots, or tennis shoes or barefoot. Hell who cares. The last thing anyone cares about is how tall he is. Lets talk about how big his ring finger is. By the way mine is 14
