Arnold's Real Height And Measurement!

Back on topic, here is a pic of Arnie on stage without his shoes!!

Holy crap that is funny....

[scottmowry]

Lou Is 6'5" and he didn't lie about his height.

I met him in person several times and last year when I met him I wore 3 inch heels and we were eye to eye when he told me to pay him $20 buck to take a picture with him.

At 6'2" you are perfect. Then again you are taller then most of the men on this board right now.....

[porcupinetree]

I have stood next to Arnold I am 6-0. He was about an inch or two taller than me.
This thread is stupid

[magnabolt]

The truth regarding Arnold's arm measurements, from a previous thread:

I myself am going to try something a little bit different in this thread and make claims that are based on facts as opposed to conjecture and speculation. And before I go any further, LOL @ the people citing a black convict in the film Pumping Iron to reference Arnold's arm size.

In a thread with 150+ replies, the only factual post thus far:

Bill Pearl's largest arm, his left arm, was 18 5/8 at a bodyweight of 222 in 1960 ? at the 1971 NABBA Mr. Universe contest in London, his publicized arm size was listed as 20 1/4, but it was obvious to me that his arms were actually smaller than when I measured them in 1960, and it was obvious to anybody who saw the two men side by side that Sergio's arms literally dwarfed Bill's arms, and now you know how big Sergio's arms were at the time."

Whatever Arnold claimed his arm size to be in his Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding is a lie. He DID measure his arms at 22 inches. The problem is, they were not measured accurately. It was a standard practice for bodybuilders back then (and I imagine, still is today) to "cheat" when measuring their arms by letting the tape hang loosely around their arm, which would add several inches. When measured CORRECTLY AND ACCURATELY, Arnold's arms were 19 and 1/2 inches cold, as stated in the quoted post above.

The problem with the people on this forum appears to be that they think your arms are NOT WORTHY unless they are 20+ inches. The fact is, any human arm that is measured at over 18 inches with sub 5% bodyfat is a massive arm. When you people make arm comparisons between bodybuilders, the biggest factor that you are failing to take into account is bone structure. If two guys have 20 inch arms, and one guy has a SMALL bone structure and the other guy has a LARGE bone structure, obviously the arms of the guy with the smaller bone structure are going to look bigger and more impressive. Bone structure is determined by measuring the circumference of the wrist. It is a known fact that Arnold had a relatively small bone structure (which I believe he makes mention of somewhere in his Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding). Ronnie Coleman, (I assume, based on appearance alone) appears to have a thick bone structure. Arnold's arms do not appear to be as big as Coleman's, but two factors that need to be taken into consideration are: Ronnie's larger bone structure, plus the fact that Arnold was several inches taller. Shorter limbs = illusion of greater size.

Also, the tricep muscle comprises two-thirds of the upper arm. In order to have huge arms, you MUST have huge triceps. With this knowledge in hand, it's hardly surprising that Ronnie Coleman's arms are bigger than Arnold's, given the fact that Ronnie's triceps are clearly bigger than Arnold's.

Yes, Arnold had great arms. Yes, he had an unbelievable physique. Yes, he was a phenomenal bodybuilder. NO, HE DID NOT HAVE 20 INCH ARMS.

GET OVER IT.

Oh, and the OP is a troll BTW.

[magnabolt]

I think he was 6'0'' but who cares? His arms could've been 22'' as he was tall and wouldn't look as magnificent on him as it would on Coleman who is 5'10'' in my opinion

HUGE FAIL SON.

[sikboy]

Again, who cares?

[pratikray]

thank you,i agree totally.
A guy who trains at my gym was an IFBB pro up until recently but has now gone back to NABBA due to lack of shows here in the UK,he is by anyones standard a beast,at a height of 5'10" his arms measure stone cold 20 3/4" and are massive,but compared to other pro's mentioned by the size doubters his arms are small in comparison to theirs.i attached pics of the guy btw,the stage pics are of him in the pro class at last years NABBA universe.
I just dont see why people have such a hard time taking these facts in,or is it,which i think is more likely,its just a little bunch of net trolls hating on others achievements due to the fact they will never achieve anything like what these guys have in their wildest dreams.

and don't even get me started on people argueing about others height,lmfao WTF? nothing better to do? lmao

... and his arms seem about the same size (may be even a tad bigger) as Arnold's, only not half as shapely. You might just compare the arm from the most muscular pose with any of Arnold's most muscular poses and see.

[pratikray]

Again, who cares?

Clearly, you do, otherwise you wouldnt pop in again and again :P

It's clearly the clone of that clown, thread popped out of nowhere after the close of another useless one that troll cretaed. IP check would be nice. Though it's not really allways accurate..

Its 5:20 in the mng and I laughed so loud that the everyone in the house heard it!

Coleman had his arms measured at 21.75" at 300lbs. There is absolutely no friggin way Arnold had bigger arms then Coleman. If Arnold claims to have 22" arms then you know it is BS. Especially considering that Arnold did not have the biggest triceps.

A ripped detailed arm at 19" looks bigger then a soft 21" arm.

[linedrive]

they all had phenominal chests back then

I agree with the second part of your post, but as for the first part, bodyweight is not always a good indicator. I've seen 185 pounds lifters with bigger arms than lifters well over 200 pounds, even if they were both muscular. I'm not saying Arnold arms are bigger than Ronnie's, but remember the weight Ronnie has over Arnold will mostly be in Legs/Torso, not necessarily arms.

Arthur Jones measured Sergio Oliva's arm at just over 20. Arnolds was smaller when they measured it, but as I recall Arnold was still not at his biggest at that time.

[leonidas300]

Does anyone really believe Arnold was only 5 ft 10? lol

BTW who cares, the man is a bodybuilding legend.

I have met Arnold, shook his hand and stood right next to him. I am a solid 6'3" and I guess he was around 5'10-5'11. He was slightly taller than my mother who is 5'10".

I know Ronnie claimed to have 24" arms too. So if Ronnie claimed to have 24" and they were just under 22". We can kind of figure Arnold did the same claimed 22" but had 20".

Can't think of anything I care less about. Always nice to know real measurements, but in the end who actually cares? It's all about the illusion and looks, not measurements and figures.

[siersy]

and funnily enough no PCT....

the biggest reported negative side from AAS is gyno.

irnoic how it works.

The people who make false claims are the ones that care. All the figures are skewed in the IFBB,so they must do it for a reason. If they did not care then everyone would say the truth.

That goes for 34" Cutler waist
The 24" Coleman Arms ( at least Coleman let himself be measured)
22" Schwarzenegger arms

etc....

Austrian Actor, US Politician. "I'm 6'2". I've heard rumors that I'm really much shorter in real life - like 5'6" or something like that - which is ridiculous. I can assure you this is not the case. People look up to me, and not just because I do a lot of work in the community. I mean, most people really LOOK UP to me."

Many people have met him and in his early career a lot of the estimates are 6ft 1-2. Jon Meade said Arnie told him in a 1980 interview he was "6ft 1.5", Vince Basille has said he measured Arnie in 1969 at 6ft 1.5. Arnold has also recently said that he was "6ft 1 and 3/4" but now has shrunk to 6ft 1, as measured by his daughter

This is just in response to a thread here that I read comparing Arnold, Coleman and Cutler's arm measurements. The said thread also talked about Arnold's height. I just can't help but share some argument as to how tall Arnold really is or was based on some simple observation. Arnold is listed as 6'2". That is true and accurate I think. Why? In Pumping Iron in the 1975 Mr. Olympia, Arnold and Lou Ferrigno stood side by side barefooted. You can see the obvious two-three inches height difference between the two bodybuilders with Ferrigno being taller at 6'4 1/2" or 6'5". Are you telling me that Lou Ferrigno also lied about his height and is only 6'2" if some of you think Arnold is just 6 feet flat or even 5'11". How the hell can Arnold stand only 5'10" when he looks much taller than that? And I don't buy the idea or argument that Arnold is always wearing cowboy boots or elevators. If he is wearing elevators, his perceived height won't look natural wwhich I think is not the case with the oak. He always looks tall with his long legs and arms. Arnold is a tall man. Accept that fact and move on. If you guys think Arnold is 5'10" then Coleman should be just 5'6" and Cutler at around 5'5". That's impossible. And what would that make of Franco Columbu's height? 5 Feet? That's not possible either as you know how short a 5 feet person is. You've all seen Arnold and Franco stood side by side barefooted and there is a 9-10 inches height difference. Yes, the truth is, Arnold is around 6'2" and Franco at 5'5" at the most. And guys Arnold is a healthy, fit man who always had a good posture. At his current 60, his height is still probably at 6'1" or 6'1 1/2" as he is still not very old if you know what I mean. Plus, he has good posture throughout his life so nature will have a very hard time shrinking Arnold to 5'10.

But yes I agree that Arnold's arms were never 22 inches as he claimed. It was only 20 inches tops, pumped and flexed!

i take this as negativity towards the great one, pat your a dick

Muscle bellies / thred

arnold had perfect muscle bellies on long think arm.at a tall height

compairing him to other people with lack of arm genetics say these are 19s or blblblb dosent work


he had 22 1/2 monster arms with long muscle bellies not 22 with short little baseball bicep

If he had long muscle bellies he wouldn't of had the huge peak though would he? They would have looked more like Levrone's. How do you know they were actually that measurement?

ok there boss


HE HAD it all peak and full it is possible not all of us have the genetics of a 11 yr old girl

Yes but his trainers would add an inch if not a bit more, but his forehead could be taller so I dunno. He's probs closer to 6' 4".

[the-craig]

I was only saying not having a go. If you have long muscle bellies they wont peak, if have short ones they will. His right arm was peaked his left wasn't so much. I never said they weren't full though just that he didn't have long muscle bellies. Thanks for the 11 yr old girl comment, how mature. Negged.
