His brother was.
Born in Austria to half-German half-Czech father and a Czech mother:
Arnold would go on to become on of the biggest Chads of all time. Legendary athlete, actor, governor, married into the Kennedy family as a fucking Styrian peasant.
Yet what drove him to become that was feeling inadequate in the eyes of his father Gustav. He always favoured Arnie's older brother Meinhard:
As you can see. Arnold had the bigger skull, the more masc face. He was a champion bodybuilder since his late teens beating grown men. Meanwhile his brother was not so successful in his life endeavours and was an alcoholic who tragically passed away in a drunken car accident in 1971. Then why did his father favour Meinhard so much?
The answer:
Just you daily reminder that the heightpill is the endpill. There's a reason women value height in men so much.
Arnie was so butthurt by this that he decided to height fraud his whole adult life. He's always claimed to be 6ft. 2 but many people have come out in public and said that he was barely 5ft.11 barefoot in his prime:
And he was insecure of this relatively normal height in the 70s, 80s and 90s, that weren't as heightphobic as today. Probably started frauding after this heightmog:

Height
Schwarzenegger's official height of 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) has been brought into question by several articles. During his bodybuilding days in the late 1960s, it was claimed that he measured 6 ft 1.5 in (1.867 m). However, in 1988, both the Daily Mail and Time Out magazine mentioned that Schwarzenegger appeared noticeably shorter.[259] Prior to running for governor, Schwarzenegger's height was once again questioned in an article by the Chicago Reader.[260] As governor, Schwarzenegger engaged in a light-hearted exchange with Assemblyman Herb Wesson over their heights. At one point, Wesson made an unsuccessful attempt to, in his own words, "settle this once and for all and find out how tall he is" by using a tailor's tape measure on the Governor.[261] Schwarzenegger retaliated by placing a pillow stitched with the words "Need a lift?" on the five-foot-five-inch (1.65 m) Wesson's chair before a negotiating session in his office.[262] Democrat Bob Mulholland also claimed Schwarzenegger was 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) and that he wore risers in his boots.[263] In 1999, Men's Health magazine stated his height was 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m).[264]
I’ve met him and I was def not looking up. I’m 5’7”. I don’t know what shoes I had on but at most they would raise me a couple inches. We were talking face to face. Maybe he shrank a few inches from his bb days but he was absolutely not 6’ when we met. He likes to wear cowboy boots etc so to in-person some ppl might not get his true height. I think he was wearing those motorcycle boots that have heels but don’t remember for sure. Doesn’t matter. In raised boots or not, he was not looking down on me.
Arnold is 5 feet 9 inches with shoes. 35 years ago, he came to his friend Dave Drapers gym in California. He worked out with us for 2 hours. I could'nt believe how short he was. I'm 5 feet 11 inches. I stood next to him while he signed my gym hoodie. He is 5 feet 9 tops, with shoes. I just noticed these articles claiming he was 6 feet, 2 inches. That's just a flat out lie.
Stood right next to him at an art event in Santa Monica 25 years ago, looked to be my height 5'10" then.
