Pro Wrestling and bodybuilding are two sports where the physique of the competitors is of paramount importance. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, has an amazing physique. However, even some pro wrestlers may measure up to bodybuilders in certain aspects. One such pro-wrestler is Dwayne Johnson.

‘The Rock’ is someone who has an incredible physique and while he may fall short of the former seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, he does clearly beat him in one aspect.

Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson enjoyed a successful run with WWE before moving into Hollywood. His training routine and obsession with fitness saw him develop an impressive physique.

Dwayne Johnson vs Arnold Schwarzenegger Physique Comparison

Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the most recognizable names in bodybuilding history. It won’t be wrong to say that he put the sport on the map during his run at the top. He won the Mr. Olympia title six times in a row and is a four-time Mr. Universe winner as well. The ‘Terminator’ won his first Mr. Universe title when he was only 20 years old.

He boasted a 22 inches biceps while his chest measured 57 inches. His waist was 30 inches and his thighs stood at 28.5 inches. Given these numbers, it is no surprise that he accomplished so much in bodybuilding. Not only this, but his career in Hollywood further made the sport mainstream.

On the other hand, Dwayne Johnson himself is no slouch. His biceps flex at 20 inches and his broad chest sits in at 50 inches. Impressive figures, but still quite far from Schwarzenegger’s muscular physique. Arnold’s biceps and chest are considerably larger than The Rock’s. This is quite understandable since Arnold is a full-fledged bodybuilder while The Rock is more of an entertainer who likes to keep fit.

However, ‘The Brahma Bull’ clearly beats Schwarzenegger in one aspect. Dwayne Johnson’s thighs measure up to 31 inches, beating Arnold’s thigh size of 28.5 inches. When it comes to their overall physique comparison Schwarzenegger beats The Rock, but The People’s Champ can boast bigger thighs than his bodybuilding counterpart.

Despite the differences in their physique, both of them had similar journeys in their careers. They dominated their respective sports and enjoyed worldwide popularity as a result. Both then carried their charisma forward and went on to forge successful Hollywood careers.

Both Arnold and The Rock accomplished great things in their career and continue to inspire millions of fans around the world. They are the reason why many fans look up to bodybuilding and pro wrestling as fantastic career options, while their success in Hollywood only added to their legacy.
