haha true true
Did you really just knock me for working my ass of since I was a young age. Haha are you kidding me, that is absolutley ridiculous. I mean the first time I lifted was in 5th grade, but I really got into it around 7th grade when it was required for football.
I’m sorry while you were busy touching yourself I was training for athletics; and as a result I now look like I do, and you are bitter because you are tall. Haha I still can’t believe me you attempted to make fun of me for being athletic.

6’5 monsters end up in the nfl making millions chasing quarterbacks
Arnold, Ronnie coleman, Lou Ferrigno, Mariusz pudzianowski, Ralph Moeller, ext are all tall bodybuilders-well mariesz isn’t but hey he looks like he could compete and do well-
Not to mention just about every strongman is 6’2+ and they have very solid physiques most would want.
Its a dumb debate both sides have advantages and disadvantages

It’s not a joke, and he shouldn’t be made fun of for it.
gunter schliercamp was 6’3"
toney freeman is 6’3"
lou ferrigno was tall
Arnold was tall
dennis wolf is 6 feet tall
there was a 280lb guy at my show this last saturday that was 6’4" who is competing at the USA’s this coming week
place any tall “filled out” bodybuilder next to any short guy and the tall guy makes the short guy look small in all aspects. It just takes longer for the “longer muscled” aka “tall” athlete to fill out their frame that’s all…
Tall people are in bodybuilding. Maybe not as much as shorter people, but who knows, maybe taller people don’t get “into” weightlifting as easy as a shorter person.
whoever said the “rolls eyes” joke is just ignorant.

I have no choice but to laugh at this. I’m not ignorant in this particular matter at all. In fact, I have no interest in a pissing contest (even if you clearly do) but the undeniable TRUTH is that MOST professional bodybuilders are and have always been shorter in stature. Pointing out a few exceptions to to the rule does not invalidate the rule. Trying to pretend as if this does not exist is “ignorant.”
I am tall, but I don’t think it is an excuse. In my youth, I’ve held myself back more than my height ever could. But the OP made a simple statement that Bodybuilding (which to me means more than just the guy in gym lifting weights had a disadvantage if he were tall.
There is decades of anecdotal evidence to support this position. Pointing out six or seven or even fifty guys wouldn’t make it less true.

shorter people fill out their frames faster because of shorter muscles and a smaller frame. A taller person takes a little longer. That is it. To make a smartass comment about how most bodybuilders being short was not needed.
You are correct, more bodybuilders are short, but that doesn’t mean that tall people can’t bodybuild or are at a disadvantage. Ronnie Coleman is 5’11" and he is the greatest ever. Now maybe if tall is considered 7ft tall but I don’t think that is what we are talking about.
I didn’t see your reasoning for a smart ass comment and “rolls eyes” when debating this topic.
You don’t want a pissing match then get off the topic. The original post of this whole thread screams debate.

So Arnold’s calves were a weak point because he’s tall? It couldn’t be because he had poor genetics for calves, could it? Nahhh, that’s just crazy. Hey I’m 5-6 but my arms are lagging behind the rest of my body. If only I was 5-3 sigh Damn, those midgets have it easy.
And I’m pretty sure Arnold didn’t get calf implants. He worked extra hard at his calves. Maybe you should try the same instead of making excuses for your lack of progress.
Damn those midgets and their supreme leverages!

I’m 6’ tall and bodybuilding isn’t “a lot harder” for me.
This whole “tall guys have shitty benches and squats” stuff is complete horseshit. If your lifts suck, train 'em harder.
Sure, if you have a smaller frame, you might look bigger a little bit quicker than a tall guy, but who the hell lifts weights for a year or two and calls it quits (aside from the douchebags on bb.com)?

ok your stupid, just google arnold calf implants … and not just his calfs i used them as an example its very VERY common that taller people like myself have a very hard time filling out their legs, i have good calfs genetics most likely but your 5’6

Why would it be a joke? This guy is young and has goals to compete one day. Looking at his progress so far, it’s hard not to wonder how far a long he will be in a few years.

First of all Ronnie Coleman is good but far from the best, reg park ring a bell in his time their were very few drugs for the sport unlike today were u can go to your local gnc and get legal steroids or creatin, and if u didn’t know befor making an account on T-Nation that short guys have shorter muscles than taller guys you need to go back to fucking school and read a fucking book

statistically ronnie coleman is the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Besides that the rest is opinion.
Some people need to go back and read a F*CKING book then.
creatin(e) is spelled with an e at the end by the way…so is befor(e)…it’s hard to read books when people can’t spell. lol jk

For all lifters that are 6’2 and under,u shouldnt have much problems with filling out and looking big. Its when the really tall people 6’3 and up cant have a bastard of a time looking massive,even if they do weigh 270 pounds.
I have one friend that is 6’9 260 and he just looks like a really fit skinny lanky guy.
I am 6"1 and I have no problem.
