Calum Von Moger Height and Weight

Calum Von Moger is an Australian bodybuilder, fitness influencer, and actor. With a giant physique and even bigger personality, Von Moger is one of the most popular fitness athletes on social media.

If you’ve seen his profile, you’re probably wondering about Calum Von Moger’s height and weight. So this article shares Von Moger’s body measurements. Plus, a look into his bodybuilding, acting, and personal history.

Calum Von Moger Bio

Calum Von Moger was born in a small town in Victoria, Australia, on June 9, 1990. As a child, he lived an active lifestyle with his five siblings on a small farm.

Bodybuilding

Von Moger began lifting weights with his older brother at the age of 14 and showed tremendous potential. In 2011 at the age of 21, he began competing in area bodybuilding contests before moving up to the international stage in 2013.

In 2015 Von Moger won the WFF Mr. Universe contest, putting him on the map in the bodybuilding world. Over the years, he competed in several more competitions, earning his IFBB pro card by winning the NPC Universe contest in 2020.

Calum has grown a massive social media following along the way thanks to his physique, humor, and daredevil antics. On Instagram alone, he has 3.3 million followers (@calumvonmoger).

Acting

With his resemblance to a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, Von Moger was deemed Arnold 2.0 when he first appeared on the bodybuilding scene. And he even played Arnold in the 2018 movie Bigger.

In addition, Von Moger appeared as himself in 2017’s Generation Iron 2 and 2019’s Calum Von Moger: Unbroken, which documented his injuries and return to bodybuilding.

Injuries and Personal Struggles

Calum Von Moger’s adversity began when he suffered two traumatic injuries in less than six months, which took a toll on his physical and mental health.

First, in November 2017, Von Moger tore his left bicep while attempting a tandem 405 lb barbell curl with Chris Bumstead. This injury required surgery and prevented him from training for several weeks.

Then, in April of 2018, Von Moger tore the same bicep again during an accident while repelling off a cliff. In a video of the event, you can also hear an audible pop as his knee dislocates and ruptures his quadriceps tendon.

These devastating injuries sidelined Von Moger for most of 2018 as he underwent surgeries and dealt with life-threatening blood clot complications. But he made a determined comeback to compete in bodybuilding again.

Unfortunately, it seems that Calum’s life has been trending in a negative direction since the events of 2018. Most recently, Von Moger suffered a spinal injury and lacerations all over his body after throwing himself out a second-story window while under the influence of methamphetamines.

With all this adversity, it’s understandable why Calum Von Moger has struggled to stay on a positive path. But I hope he fully recovers and returns to bodybuilding because his physique and life story can be very inspiring.

Calum Von Moger Height and Weight

Calum Von Moger stands 6’2” (188) tall and weighs 235 lbs (107kg) when competing and 255-260lbs (116-118kg) when gaining muscle.

While recovering from severe injuries in 2018, Von Moger reportedly lost 50 lbs, dropping him down to about 205 lbs (93kg). But he made a quick rebound once he was able to train again.

Calum Von Moger Body Measurements

Von Moger’s success is due to his incredibly developed arms and legs, broad shoulders, and thick chest. His massive muscles are evident in the circumference measurements in the table below.

But first, it’s important to point out that the numbers listed here are unofficial, and whether measurements were during the offseason or in contest condition is unclear. So take any bodybuilder measurements posted online with a grain of salt.

Table 1. Calum Von Moger Measurements vs Average Male

Measurement Calum Von Moger Average Male Difference
Height 6’2″ (185 cm) 5’9″ (175 cm) +7%
Weight 235-260 lb (104-120 kg) 198 lb (90 kg) +19-31%
Waist 32″ (81 cm) 40″ (102 cm) -20%
Chest 48″ (122 cm) 40″ (102 cm) +20%
Arms 20″ (51 cm) 14.6″ (37 cm) +37%
Thighs 26″ (66 cm) 21″ (53 cm) +24%
Calum Von Moger Body Measurements

As you can see, Von Moger is a truly massive guy, and his height and size make him stand out among bodybuilders. But he isn’t considered a mass monster like IFBB pros in the open bodybuilding division.

Instead, Calum competes in the Classic Physique division, where competitors are rewarded for having aesthetic body proportions. So let’s look at how his body ratios compare to an “ideal physique” and the average guy’s body.

Table 2. Calum Von Moger Proportions vs Average Male

Ratio Calum Von Moger “Ideal” Average Male
Waist to Height 0.43 0.46 0.5
Chest to Waist 1.5 1.45 1.00
Arm to Waist 0.63 0.54 0.37
Thigh to Waist 0.81 0.77 0.53

In Table 2, you can see that Von Moger’s body ratios are significantly different than the average person’s. For example, his waist is small relative to his height, and his chest, arms, and thighs are large compared to his waist.

In addition, Von Moger’s ratios are all outstanding even compared to the ideal measurements of a “Greek God Body.” So you could say his proportions are in the superhero realm.

Calum Von Moger Steroids

Most professional bodybuilders avoid commenting on steroid use for legal and business reasons. However, Calum Von Moger is one of the few fitness professionals that openly admits to using performance-enhancing drugs.

For example, in this Instagram post, he shares a transformation from “natty” at 21 to “enhanced” at 24. Many IG trolls posted negative comments saying he’s on steroids in both pics, but he could have been natural up until 21, given his great genetics and seven years of hard training.

In addition to his open admission of steroid use, Von Moger was also charged with possession of testosterone, among other illegal substances, in May of 2022. So there is no debate about him being natural or not at this stage in his career.

Still, I put Calum Von Moger’s body measurements into my FFMI calculator just for fun. The fat-free mass index (FFMI) measures muscularity relative to a person’s height and weight. While it’s not an exact science, FFMI is a helpful tool to gauge if someone is natural or enhanced.

At 6’2″ and 235 lbs with around 4% body fat on stage, Calum’s FFMI is 28.5. For reference, anything under 25 is considered possible to attain naturally. In contrast, a score in the 26-28 range is likely unnatural.

Therefore, Von Moger’s FFMI of 28+ supports that he is on performance-enhancing drugs. I share this not to attack Calum’s success but to shed light on the shadowy subject of steroids, where most people are completely in the dark.

Despite using PEDs, Calum Von Moger also trains hard and pays attention to his nutrition. So let’s take a look at how he eats and works out.

Calum Von Moger Diet

Calum Von Moger is a unique physical specimen with superior genetics. As a result, he gains muscle extremely fast in response to training, like a mesomorph or endo/meso.

At the same time, he has a fast metabolism and can eat a lot of food without gaining body fat, like an ectomorph. So it’s like he has the ideal mixture of body types for a lean, muscular physique.

In addition, Von Moger carries a great deal of lean mass, which burns even more calories. So he must eat a lot of calories to build/maintain muscle.

Here is an example of his daily diet for muscle gain.

Table 3. Calum Von Moger Bulking Meal Plan

Meal Quantity/Food
Meal 1 1 1/2 cup oats, 1 scoop protein, berries, yogurt
Meal 2 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 6 oz buffalo meat
Meal 3 9 oz chicken, 7 oz rice, 1 cup veggies
Meal 4 9 oz red meat, 7 oz potato
Meal 5 9 oz chicken, 7 oz rice, salad, 1 cup veggies
Meal 6 12 egg whites, 1/2 cup cream of rice
Between Meals up to 3 protein shakes a day

You’ll notice that Von Moger eats a ton of food to bulk up. Based on the quantities given, he’s eating around 5,000 calories per day!

While that may sound like a lot, it’s only a slight calorie surplus because Calum has so much lean body mass and is very active with his workouts. By my calculations, this diet plan puts him in a 12-16% surplus, which is perfect for lean muscle gains.

Table 4. Calum Von Moger Diet Calories & Macros

  Amount (% of calories)
Calories 5,065
Carbs 597 g (48%)
Fat 96 g (18%)
Protein 425 g (34%)

Another thing that stands out in Von Moger’s diet is the high carb intake. For most people, this would be a recipe for obesity. But when you’re training hard for hours a day, your body needs those extra carbs to fuel and recover from workouts.

Moreover, about 1/3 of Von Moger’s calories come from protein, higher than the average person’s diet. However, that amount of protein is ideal for adding new muscle tissue.

Finally, Calum’s fat intake is relatively low at about 1/5 of his daily calories. These macronutrient ratios let his body focus on burning and storing carbs while using the available protein to grow.

Remember, most people only need to eat a fraction of what Von Moger eats. So don’t try to replicate this diet plan unless you’re already packing 230 lbs of lean mass!

Calum Von Moger Workouts

Consistent calorie intake and healthy nutrition are the main reasons Calum Von Moger can pack on muscle and get super shredded. But he also trains hard in the gym with muscle-building resistance training workouts.

Calum often follows a 5-day workout split where he trains chest, back, shoulders, legs, and arms. This routine is called the bro split workout, where you train one body part each session.

Generally, Von Moger trains 5-7 exercises per muscle group for 3-5 sets. And the rep range is usually in the 8-12 hypertrophy training zone.

In addition, Calum makes his workouts more challenging by utilizing drop sets and supersets. Here is an example of Calum Von Moger’s 5-day workout split.

Day 1: Calum Von Moger Chest Workout

Day 2: Calum Von Moger Back Workout

Day 3: Calum Von Moger Shoulder Workout

  • Seated behind the neck press
  • Seated dumbbell press (drop sets)
  • Upright row
  • Dumbbell lateral raise (drop sets)
  • Rear delt fly

Day 4: Calum Von Moger Leg Workout

Day 5: Calum Von Moger Arm Workout

Calum Von Moger Supplements

Like many top professional bodybuilders, Calum Von Moger released a line of products under a brand called Staunch. This brand offers several supplements, the most popular being pre-workout and protein powder.

Calum Von Moger Pre-Workout

Staunch’s pre-workout supplement is called Koala Freak as an homage to Von Moger’s Australian nationality. Somewhat surprisingly, this pre-workout has a decent formulation.

It includes effective doses of l-citrulline for the pump and beta-alanine for muscle performance. In addition, a single scoop has 360 mg of caffeine and l-theanine for energy and focus in the gym.

Calum Von Moger Protein

Another supplement in the Staunch lineup is a whey isolate protein powder that comes in a few different flavors, including Caramel Von Mocha and Mum’s Pumpkin Pie.

This protein supplement has good reviews, with 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon. However, I don’t see much in this supplement that separates it from other whey isolate powders.
