Height makes ALL the difference; as an example SavagedNation in this forum clocked in at 285 in 12 week out condition (as estimated by zraw in the same thread though i’d say its more like 14 weeks out), at 6’4".
Compare that with Utah’s 230 at 6’1" in (lets assume) 12 week out condition? Does that mean SN is that much more advanced than either X or Utah or that he’s just 3 inches taller?
You can’t compare LBMs when there’s a 3 inch height difference.

To clarify in case there is any misunderstanding- I was just riffing on the recent theme of “If someone is bigger your an idiot if you don’t listen to them” theme that has been going on for a decade or so.
It wasn’t intended to be a serious comparison of anybody to anyone else. I’ve lifted with a guy who was pulling 625 at 6’1 and 190 lbs., who by most recent standards would not even look like he lifts (haha), and knew another guy who had a growth disorder that put him at 6’7" and 300 lbs.- also kind of lanky looking. So yeah, height, limb length, lean mass muscle bellies and a whoe ton of other factors go into how someone looks at a given weight.
For the guy who is 6’7" to look like a body builder he would probably have to weigh 375-400 lbs.
