I've asked this question in another thread but it got lost amongst the rest of the conversation.
Dennis Wolf's height is written down everywhere at 5 foot 11 yet standing in the Olympia line up next to Toney Freeman he appeared to be even slightly taller than Freeman so I was wondering what is his real height and also this calls into question a lot of other pro's actual real measurements from on paper to the actual truth from height to waist sizes etc so what are peoples opinions on them and does anybody know of any actual deviants?
Tony Freeman is reported to be around 6 foot 2 but he appears even bigger so this would make Wolf around 6 foot 3 - 4 inches difference from whats on paper! Can anyone clear this up and add anything from the other pros am sure there are some people out there with interesting info for all to see about them!

I know what you mean DiamondDelts there are no definite answers on here and a lot of confusion! The first pic with the 6 foot 1 guy he looks shorter but on the second pic with a different 6 foot 1 guy he looks slightly taller!!
And I know what people are saying that Freeman sits down in his poses but i'm on about when they were just standing next to each other that Wolf was the same as Freeman if not taller so does that make Freeman smaller than he is?
Surprised no one else has commented on the other part of this thread...I was expecting a whole bunch of people talking about pro's actual waist and arm measurements etc

Wolf is indeed about 5'11. It even says it on his official site! I doubt anyone would make themselves shorter than they are. Its just that other BBers are a lot shorter than you think so next to them, Wolf appears 6'2. Based on the O, freeeman is under 6'... you are right about him being shorter than Wolf. 6'3- no way.. theres a reason why no BBers are over 6'0 in the top 20.

Freeman is all of 6'2
Wolf is about 6'1...it lists him at 5'11 on his website because the last time he had his height checked (which was probabaly in HS) he probably was....
The first pic with the guy who says he's 6'1...the guy is standing 2 ft. closer to the camers and Wolf is bent over...
The second pic is more accurate with both standing about the same....Bob Cicherillo - IFBB Pro Bodybuilder

I measure my heigh all of the time, shoes and no shoes, I am 5'10, he barely hit over an inch taller than me. You are wrong about him being 6'1. Sorry Bob, and you were also about the same height as me Bob at the Arnold cause Iwas standing about 5 ft away from you waiting to meet jamie eason lol

Gauging height accurately is very tricky.

I would rarely believe the listed weight of what people say they are. Some you can tell are full of it... And others seem more plausible. The height... I saw a video today of quincy taylor defending claims that he wasn't what he claimed to be (in terms of height).
I think the arm size is the most unreliable measurement listed. As for waists.... why would people even bother...? I can't see many people telling the truth there.
Mind you, some people wont even believe pictures of pro's with a tape around their arm. It begs the question what you can and cannot believe. And more importantly; what exactly is possible?
