Bodybuilders are as prone to exaggerate their height and weight as are pro wrestlers. A guy I used to train with met Arnold at a seminar. He estimated Arnold’s height at 5’11". This was in the early 1970s. It’s perfectly reasonable that a man Arnold’s age may have since lost an inch (or more) in height.
