I tend to believe it's true. The only thing I believe may be exaggerated a bit is maybe his height.


no way in hell is he 6 foot,i am 5,9 and looked eye to eye with him ;)

I think Arnold is at least 5'11, but also doubt his height claim of 6'2.

sigh, you guys always compare with 'seeing him eye to eye' and shit.. when did you see him eye to eye? 20 fuckin years ago?

no in the past 10 years .. everyone shrinks a little when they grow older, due to curvature of the spine and vertebrae compaction etc

From celebheights.com: "Vince Basille has said he measured Arnie in 1969 at 6ft 1.5."

the reason he always looks high is because he was usually high - it was the 1970's

i always read this in flex mags and also on arnies profile on bodybuilding.com,it states arnold had a 57 inch..so is this true or just those old bodybuilding exaggerations?
How about this? Chest: 57 inches *(World record, Guinness book of world records). He had that measured for a world record, so I believe that there is prove enough? Guinness doesn't certificate any records without official measurement, so that has to be true.

This would be educating thing for you: Walk to the public library, find any of the GBWR from years 1980-90, and read it from the source. I understand this is difficult to you, and you cannot understand things which have happened before you born, but you can still try.

this is correct..and in the book. in fact guiness dont allow the subject to spread their lats or breath in either.

theres heaps of guys walking around with 55inch+ chest measurement ....sheesh you guys must be midgets..

i dont train no more but measured 53-54 inches for years at 6 foot, with 19 inch arms, 19.5 pumped.

and no way does a 20.5 inch arm pump to 22 inches. 21 1/4 maybe...

i find it hard to believe that arnie's chest was only 57 inches...and arms only 21 inches. i do recall him writing about them being 22 inches and over at times during his career. why would everyone think he exaggerates?...what has he to gain from that?...

in fact it was his advantage to tell everyone what they were... coz it psyched everyone out. they'd be like...holy crap arnie make my arms look like twigs and mine are 20 inches!.

18 inch arms are maybe big on a 5 foot 6 guy.. but on a 6 footer they look crap...so no way was arnie's arms in his movies 18 inches...19 inches at least.

flame away retards but i really am amazed that you think such measurements are bogus...do/did any of you train at all?..

No idea but like the 22" arms, probably partially true, maybe 22" at 250 lb., pumped.

Two of the top chest shots in BB history:

THESE TWO PICTURES ARE SO BADLY MORPHED IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. NOTICE HOW IS ARM NEAR THE SHOULDER IS TWISTED AND DISTORTED DUE TO THE MORPHING....COME ON GUYS GIMMIE A BREAK...THE best DURING HIS TIME WAS SERGIO AND THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAS LEE HANEY WHO WON THE OLYMPIA EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW. THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY RONNIE COLEMAN...ARNIE BOY IS SHIT FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS....

NO, THEY LOOKED THE SAME WHEN I SAW THEM PUBLISHED IN MUSCLE IN '74.

HANEY WAS NOWHERE NEAR COLEMAN, OLIVA OR SCHWARZENEGGER, HE ALWAYS HAD SERIOUS BALANCE ISSUES.
