6'2" I believe. Although considering we get a little shorter with age probably closer 6'1".

Who was the only individual to ever go on record as having measured Arnold Schwarzenegger? Vince Basile

The answer's in white? Vince Basile?

 

[iride]

Now that he is not the Gov,
I do not think so, Arnold is back at the gym ,

Agreed!

And, yeah, a senior version of "Pumping Iron" would be awesome. Louie would probably put Arnold to shame on a physique stage at this point.

 

[Little Wing]

The answer's in white? Vince Basile?

correct. he measured him in the evening at six foot one and one half inches which means 6 foot 2 in the am is very likely.

 

[Vibrant]

I've heard from numerous people that have seen Arnold multiple times in real life that he is 6 feet at most.

 

[Vibrant]

I thought I'd post some funny arnold pics

[Curt James]

I've heard from numerous people that have seen Arnold multiple times in real life that he is 6 feet at most.

He was born in 1947 so he would have been around 42 in 1989 when I shared a Polaroid moment with him as part of the first Arnold Classic's VIP package -- just $100 at that first event.

Posed for the same Polaroid snapshot in 1990, 1991, and 1992. Was taller than Arnold in each shot and I'm 6'1".

No, I don't have the pics on a computer or in my hand. They're either on a trash heap or buried in a box somewhere. Pretty funny shots of me in various stages of balding.

Fwiw, not even Arnold is set on his actual height.

Interview With Dick Tyler - 1969

After Only just moving to the United States, Arnold had an interview with acclaimed bodybuilding journalist Dick Tyler in which he briefly mentioned his height. The interview is now reprinted in 'West Coast Bodybuilding Scene : The Golden Era'.

Dick Tyler: "Arnold, how much did you weigh when you started?"

Arnold: "150 pounds."

Dick Tyler: "At the same height?"

Arnold: "Yes, six-foot, one inch"

Measurement by Vince Basile - 1969

Although measured by Vince Basile at 6'1 1/2" as described in a previous article on Arnoldheight.com, Vince Basile has said that Arnold himself claimed he was 6'2" just before the measurement took place.

Interview With Jon Meade - 1980

In an interview for Muscle Digest, Arnold told editor Jon Meade that he was 'about 6' 1/2"' when asked about his height.

• Easy: Arnold hails from what country?
• Harder: Name Arnold's co-promoter of the Arnold Sports Festival.
• Hardest: Who was Arnold's best man at his wedding?

Repped for each correct response.

 

[deadlifter405]

Arnold hails from Graz Austria.

Jim Lorimer is the co-promoter of Arnolds sports festival.

And of course Franco Columbo was his best man at his wedding!

And of course Franco Columbo was his best man at his wedding!

Three reps on the way.

Franco's last name is spelled Columbu. In one of his books, believe it was "Winning Bodybuilding," Franco commented, something like, that his name is just short of Christopher Columbus.

And Arnold was born in Thal, Austria, but he and his family resided in nearby Graz.

[Curt James]

Tough: What is Arnold's birth date?
Tougher: Schwarzenegger went by another name in one film. What was that name?
Toughest: Besides 1982's "Conan the Barbarian," name one other vehicle both James Earl Jones and Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in together.

 

[Vibrant]

wow those are good ones^^^ I like it, getting tougher and tougher

 

[Curt James]

One is an eeeeasy search. The other should be common knowledge for Arnoldologists. lol

The James Earl Jones question, I just stumbled across. There's a great resource to find that answer.
