I am not sure of his stats, but i think that picture is from Terminator 2, and the movie kick serious ass!

But i think he was 6'1" and competed at like 233 or something... not sure about the time of that picture [circa 1991]

I think thats from Terminator 1... but, like Fatty, I'm not quite sure...

Basic stats were:

Height: 6'2" (todays pros 5'4 to 6'3")
Competition Weight: 240lbs (todays freaks 255lbs to 285lbs)
Normal Weight: 210lbs
Arms: 22 inches (Coleman and Cutler have 23 inch arms)
Legs: 28 inches (small compared to todays standards)
waist: 31 inches (todays 38-40inch roid guts
Chest: 57 inches (comparable to todats pros)

I remember reading these from his book.

Sorry, I am not sure about the time of this pic. I can tell you that his measurements were pretty close.

So is he 210 or 240ish in that pic?
Does anyone know of a pic of him around 210lbs? Any clue on the bodyfat?

That pic is from Terminator 1 when he walks up the street punks. He was only a few years out of 1980 competition shape there. I would say 220.

His stats are posted everywhere different. You can never seem to find two that state the same. Although they are all fairly close. Louden's listing was fairly accurate, save for the waist. That is one that is almost always listed as 34inchs.

His weight in the Olympia's varied. 240 at the 74 was said to have been his biggest.

Nobody will ever know the true answers to these questions "what were his exact stats?" "what cycle did he take?!", but just looking at pics of him back then, who cares. He looked simply incredible.

I read a pretty weird article, I think with Mike Mentzer, claiming the Mr. Olympia comp. in which he lost to Arnold was fixed. He said Arnold's arms weren't anywhere near 22 inches. Only 20. 21 maybe. I forget. I dunno if it was even Mentzer.

(todays 38-40inch roid guts )

Don't you mean GH guts?

Seriously, you'd think that if someone was at 5% bodyfat and had a 40 inch waist, they'd be a little worried about how big their internal organs were getting.

I certainly don't think Arnold had 22 inch arms. I think he had maybe 19's or 20's.
