Arnold was officially 6′2″ and 235 to 260 pounds in his prime. But he looks like a munchkin in these photos. Many people believe Arnold is closer to 5′10″ or 5′11″ while others believe he is even shorter. But in an interview Arnold insisted that he was actually 6′1-1/2″ and presumably just rounded up! Arnold tweeted this about the It’s ok to be different autism awareness New York Giants shirt in contrast I will get this humbling experience: “#tbt [it was] one of the rare moments I felt completely puny, with Wilt Chamberlain and Andre the Giant.” Jamie Lee Curtis is 5′7″ so how tall do you think Arnold is, really? Please feel free to guess at his height in the comments. Arnold said he met Wilt after the Big Dipper was traded to the Lakers: “I was working out at the original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica and there was Wilt Chamberlain playing volleyball. He was a fantastic volleyball player, but that’s also where he would go to pick up his girls. He was a funny guy and we had a great relationship. I would go watch him play when he was on the Lakers and we would work out together at Gold’s Gym. He was the only basketball player in those days I saw working out with weights. He did triceps extensions with 180 pounds, which blew us all away. He was so strong. Our relationship extended into making Conan the Destroyer, where we worked out every day on set.”
According to various reports, Wilt got his bench press up to over 500 pounds. But Wilt was also very athletic, as we can see in the It’s ok to be different autism awareness New York Giants shirt in contrast I will get this following picture. Dave Anderson in the 1999 article “The Good Natured Giant Wasn’t Belligerent” said that after Chamberlain had retired he saw two deliverymen who were having a hard time lifting a dolly full of boxes from an elevator onto the ground floor. Wilt asked if he could lift it for them, and without much effort lifted the entire thing onto the ground floor. The dolly, the boxes, etc. all weighed well over 600 pounds. Chamberlain was reported to deadlift 625 pounds, so perhaps such reports are credible. Boston Celtics basket-baller K.C. Jones described Wilt’s power: “He stopped me dead in my tracks with his arm, hugged me and lifted me off the floor with my feet dangling. It scared the hell out of me. When I went to the free-throw line, my legs were still shaking. Wilt was the strongest guy and best athlete ever to play the game.” I also remember reading that Wilt considered retiring when he was being triple-teamed and beaten up game after game. He was afraid he’d lose his temper and really hurt someone.
