In bodybuilding terms 5'11" is tall , shoot I go to the gym and I find 90% of people are shorter than me but the average adult male in the U.S. is 5'9" I think those tall groups are for people 6'2" and over and I think short is considered under 5'7"
so 5'7" to 6'1" medium height , under 5'7" short and 6'2" and over tall ( in the real world )
Yes, I think that is correct. In bodybuilding terms, people do call 5'11 "tall" and you will hear people call those who are 5'9 "short" sometimes, although I don't think that is correct. It is average height in real life, and for bodybuilding, I would say definitely above average, LOL.
As it stands (no pun intended), I would think 5'10-5'11 is the best height to be Mr. Olympia based on past champions. To determine the overall best height for a bodybuilder in terms of pro wins, we would need to gather the exact heights of champions of each pro show and compute an average.
