hahaha good one. Yeah ronnie coleman has amazing size. especially for being tall and being able to build that much mass.
Ronald is not tall…
for a bodybuilder he is up there
I’d consider him average height…
Slightly taller than average. He is nearly 6 feet…which in bodybuilding means there was a shit load of mass on that stage when he competed.
It gets much harder to fill out a frame the taller you get beyond that. That is one reason Toney Freeman took so many years to finally fill out.[/quote]
Yeah no doubt, and to the guy that said 5’6" was average, probably in the 202 class but not the Olympia mens open.
And to reiterate, yeah us tall dudes need a decent amount of mass to look as filled out a someone 5’8 and that’s definetly why Toney peaked later and he stills seems to be growing. Hope he can place higher in next years Olympia if he competes.

Something like that. Some of the most filled out bodybuilders are less than 5’10". I’m about 5’10 and a half (like just below 5’11" on the chart) and I think I would be considered one of the taller ones if I ever competed. 6’2" in bodybuilding is fucking gigantic. Most of those guys never fill out enough to compete with the shorter guys.
I have a serious man crush on Flex…
I like Phil Heath too, manly because he makes awesome faces when he poses.
Mr O when I was getting interesting in bodybuilding in the early 90s.
But not just for his physique - but also his focus, dedication, drive and the down-to-earth class with which he carried himself always.
And of course, that back.

Not 100% sure but when he was his biggest he was competing around 260 on stage.

Damn that’s thick . . .
I really liked lou. ever since seeing pumping iron he has been my favorite. plus he is 6’5. he is a giant for a bodybuilder. most of the popular and good bodybuilders are probably more around 5’6 to 5’8. im 5’11 and standing next to cutler and dexter i was surprised by how much shorter than me they were.
Curry is one pretty human being, I hope that kid does some amazing stuff with his career.
Frank Mcgrath has been one of my favorites.

in his prime he was something special. especially for someone his height. i think he could have and a Mr. O title if he wouldnt have walked away from bodybuilding just as arnold was leaving. arnold was the only person in his way at that time, but being in the movies was too big to turn down i guess.
