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!

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."I will persist until I succeed!" - Og Mandino

it astounds me everytime i read a thread on this forum regards measurements of pro's etc,it seems to me that hardly any of you have true comprehension of size,of course its entirely feasable that arnolds arms were 20+,ffs my arms are a touch off 19" shredded in contest condition and my arms are no where near as big looking as his were.
too many insecure people me thinks,concern yourself more with what you have rather than than trieing to decry what others have.www.rippedglutes.net

The debates over Arnold's height are hilarious. I have no idea how they have credibility with some people. Arnold must have been measured by people with no reason to lie COUNTLESS times....ignoring the fact you can get an idea of his height from footage etc, especially in pumping iron.
Same applies to his arms - measured countless times.

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? lmaoLast edited by weeman180375; 06-29-2008 at 09:53 AM.
