I measured Arnold's height in Honolulu at Mit's Gym one evening in January 1969. 6 feet 1 1/2 inches. He must still be over 6 feet tall now, probably 6=1.

Vince I've always believed what you've said, musclemag measured him at 6'1.75".
You've no reason to lie and it's obvious he was over 6ft. If he wasn't then every conpetitor he was taller than are going down a few inches.
6ft 2 was easier to print musclemag wrote way back. Arnold said himself he was down to 6ft proper stretching up as  tall as possible a good few years ago.
It's funny there's a whole website based around celebrity heights and Arnold is a favourite to discuss with most people that have never met him saying he was never nearly 6'2",  6ft max. Your story has been put forward there and they still won't have it because he only looks this tall next to that person or this tall next that other person in this or that photo  ::)

Vince Basile measured Arnold's cock with his eyes from the comfort of his breezeway.

You met Sergio Oliva as well.

How did he look in person compared to Arnold?

I don't get the Arnold thing - stood pretty close to him back in the '90s and he didn't look 6ft to me - Bruce Willis towered over him - but unlike Vince I didn't get the tape out so what do I know

The good news is that it appears yoga can reverse this!

Mits had a scale with a height gauge that we used to measure height. Two other guys there were also shorter than they claimed. It is likely that Arnold was 6-2 in the morning but lost half an inch during the day. I remember that he was trying to be as tall as possible when I measured him. I measured Arnold while others are guessing when they see him standing with others. Camera angle can make a big difference. The guy in front or closer to the camera will look taller.

They didn’t call Arnold the Austrian oak for no reason

Traction and streching works. I stopped using big weights years ago. My gym buddies who kept on hammering heavy, are getting shorter than me. Sometimes the gym stops being your friend.

90% of people who have met Arnold swear that he's barely pushing 5'11". 

Everywhere on the internet, Vince B chimes in claiming that he measured Arnold at 6'1.75".

At this point I'm convinced that Vince B got paid $$$ to shill for Arnold and keep repeating that story.  It proves nothing, and he's literally the same height as 5'8" Phil Heath in that pic.

Who you gonna believe, "Vince B" or your lying eyes?

Exactly. All this measuring was also long before he was in movies and became world famous. He’s estimated to be a billionaire now. Yet he’s still nice enough to ride his bike to Golds by himself and talk to fans.

Also the angle accounts for some of this Arnold appears standing a few inches behind

Well Vince measured him when he was young

It is not unheard of of losing a few inches due to lifechoices and age

We need Vince to measure him when he’s old.

It not unheard of to misremember a few inches due to age and lifestyle.

I ask a valid question related to bodybuilding history which gets ignored while everyone focuses on the ridiculous height obsession.

Whether he was 6'1.5 or 6'2 makes no difference.

The usual trolls are at it again   ;D

Arnold is 78 years old, age and the heavy lifting have taken their toll

Reg Park was 6 ft1 or 185.5 cm
So Arnold being at least the same height is correct.

As you can also read in this article, Schwarzenegger was measured countless times from age 15/16 onwards

https://physicalculturestudy.com/2017/02/22/the-amazing-physique-of-a-schwarzenegger-how-he-developed-it-1967-article






Body height can easily vary more than 1 cm or half an inch, depending on the time of day. Morning or evening.

You generally are 1 or 2 cm taller early in the morning as during sleep the pressure from gravity on your spine is reduced.
