What height shrinkage are we talking about here exactly? Scalp muscles? Muscles on the soles of his feet? Man, he really must have worked out back in the day.

Anyone over 6ft is too tall and end up being puny weaklings. Optimum masculine height for strength is between 5'8" and 5'10". This is in my expert opinion based on my expertise.

Met him in '97.
He was about 6 foot even.
His width creates an incredible illusion of giganticism.

There is quite a bit debate surrounding this, even websites dedicated to it ascertaining his true height. He is officially 6'2". However many claim he is only 5'10". He had probably shrunk in height since his peak like we all will.

Anyone any thoughts on this?

Allegedly 1.85m (6.1) but has a contract clause that no one taller that 1.75 (5.8) is allowed within 10 yards (11m) of himl.

Also grey hairs are a sign of distinction, and if your knee gets sore before it rains it means you're a wizard.

My brother met him in 2003 . My brother is 6ft 5 (marginally shorter than me) and was working with the army at the time in Croke Park (Special Olympics). When Arnie came in to an area where my brother was working he was mobbed by people looking for autographs, pictures ect. Several of the army lads got pictures with him but when my brother approached him some security guys came out from nowhere and got in between him and Arnie. He was able to get a handshake but was refused a photo or being able to stand beside him.

Anyways my brother reckons 5'9 but possibly shorter, apparently he may do a Tom Cruise on the footwear

In his heyday like the picture posted earlier his chest in inches was 50 something with a waist of 28 inches.
Traps from L5 to each of the inter tubercular groove of the humerus was like an equilateral triangle.
Ridonkulous

Got his picture taken this year in front of Bjornsson and Shaw. Both over 6'10 and each about 200kg bodyweight. He doesn't seem to mind anymore.

5 foot 11.5 now id say. About 6 foot one at peak.
