    I heard Arnie was 5'11"-6' at best... Hulk Hogan is listed as 6'8"-9".. But this is false as well... cause I'm 6'8 3/4" and stood next to him paying close attention to his posture (Pic to prove it too!) He's 6'5.. Then again when I was in high school coaches listed me as 610"

    hulk's legit height is said to be 6'4. the majority of pro wrestlers embelish their heights and weights, some dramatically, some very slightly. andre the giant was billed as 7'5, when in reality he was 6'9-6'11

    some people can have acromalagy without being that tall. 6'9 is considreed very tall usually. its not just height that it affects, check out his head, hands, things like that

    Isn't Kovacs over 6'? Arnie is just over 6' and Lou is a shade taller than me and I'm 6'3 5/8. I see him every year at the Olympia expo. Hulk Hogan is also around the same height as Lou. They both have been at the Olympia in years pasts and I've talked to both. Hulk is NOT 6'7.

    yeah think he was 46 years old. as for kovacs, he is 6'6.

    i think the answer to the original question is: there are no PROFESSIONAL bodybuilders who are over 6'8. was kovacs a pro? if so, i believe he is the tallest one on record

    I'm 6'8 3/4" --- 6'9" on that day (shoes).. You tell me what you think he's height is... I'm thinking 6-6 to 6-7.. We both were kind of hunched over just a bit!



    And here's one of my father and brother with me.. both 6'6" or just beneath it..


    I think he's bout 6'7".. and that's coming from a big guy.. haha Anyway ya this is a lil off topic I know.. just looking for someone closer to my size I can kind of look at and Dream... I guess you could say I'm an Mes0-Ectomorph body type.. fairly skinny but very good genes to put on a lot of weight.. though my legs are gonna be hard. Injuried them leg pressing TOO MUCH weight when I was in 9th grade. Spoke to NFL trainer and he said never workout on them. I had inflamed tendonitis (Gonna post questions about that elsewhere!)
