bro back in the day arnold was 6'2 did you see pumping iron, he was alomost as tall as lou ferigno, i have argued this many times with people, any bio you look up on arnold will say6'2, I agree alot of celebs jack their stats up, but bro arnold is tall, he is 6'1 at the least right now, your cousin is full of shit, he was trying to sound impressive, if he is 5'9 and said arnold was only 2 inches taller, and seeing how your cousin could easily make himself sound taller

My cousin is a fat, out of shape bastard who could care less about his appearance or the appearance of Arnold. His main concern goals in life are to party and make money, not compare his physical stature to Arnold's or anyone's for that matter, because he doesn't have much to compare with. And my cousin didn't tell me his own height, I've seen it measured. Therefore, he has nothing to gain by short-changing Arnold's stats. This is not a put-down on the greatest bb of all time, just to point out that he's probably bs' ing about his height.

Keep it beefy, there's no need to call me out computer gangster. You could have simply replied as did CN1 with a differing point of view. Yes, I have been to wax museums. What did you do when you went to one, pull out a measuring tape to confirm the stats? What are you, Arnold's jock rider?

This question has been asked over and over again. I like hte old bodybuilders bc they are less freakish but I do like today's BB's size. However, I do not like Arnold bc in his famous book he says he doesn't condone the use of steroids and is against them. WTF?

Huge distended belly from too much insulin & hGH or tight abs and small waist? Hmmm....that's a tough choice.

Arnold wins any day.

Arnold fit the romantic, Greek Statuesque, vision of ultimate muscularity & manhood-----large bi's & pecs, wide shoulders, thin waist, athletic legs---he looked like he could do more than just pump, flex, and pose. Certainly, something worthy to aspire to. Today, the norm are these behemoth, round freaks, that look like they would be totally incapable of participating in any other athletic endeavor other than injecting and flexing.

I just think that we should all watch T2 again. That move was made over a decade after his last Mr. Olympia competition. But look at him. That one schene where he takes the knife and cuts his forearm off. That is a great schene. His forearm and bis are still huge. Even in the 6th Day Arnold has some respectable bis. The dude is now like 54-55 years old and he still has a great body.
