It does attract a lot of short guys , insecurity leads them to be big if they can't be tall , I'm 5'11" and I'm taller than 90% of the people in my gym

In the US the average height is 5'9" I believe
-
I'm 5.9.5"-5'10" and when walking in a crowd of people, there are so many people taller than me. I think 6'0" + is when you're noticeably taller than most.

BTW, for all the taller guys you mentioned, there are a way more shorter guys.

Midgetry has long been linked with aggressivness. With the aggressiveness there is a desire for dominance.... the concept of the alpha male comes to mind which is strongly linked to homosexuality. Because the vertically challenged try to create the image of an alpha male there is a strong propensity to border on all things homosexual.

The average height for white males is just under 70 inches, or 5' 10".
5'6" and shorter is the bottom 5% of the population; it makes sense that some who fall here would have something extra to prove in getting huge.

most pros lie about their height, well most everyone seems to lie about their height. i am exactly 6.00 and i get people all the time saying i must be at least 6,2 as they are 5,11. they are just deluded about their height.
i have met doz and levrone and they were a lot shorted than me, 5,8 at most, kev probably shorter than dorian.

-
Yes it's the Napoleon Syndrome-compensate for shortness with wideness, just like too many lesbos as wide as they are tall. ;D
Ironically Ben Weider was one of the world's leading Napoleon aficionados.

is that table with or without lifts in the shooess,,,if you read disclaimers on height average you will see disclaimer saying, "height taken in consideration with 1inch shoes"

In Mexico, yes

Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people who are short in stature. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. This term is also known as Napoleon syndrome,[1] Short Man syndrome,[2] and Small Man syndrome.

i am 5.7.i admit that in the beginning i was little scared to fight with taller guys.once i was force to fight a guy who was close to 6.in a sec i found out he does not know how to fight.i kicked his ass real good.later in life i learnt that taller guys are real pussies if u stand up to them.they have advantage of their hight to keep fights away from them most of the time and that is their weakness.
shorter guys are successfull in bodybuilding cuz shorter guys have more balance and symmetrical structure compair to taller guys.i mean how many time u see a tall symmetrical bodybuilder.

Flex Wheeler and Chris Cormier comes to mind! Also Ronnie and Kevin Levrone. They are around 5'10 or 5'11. Not tall in probably society standards, but definitely tall in bbing standards.

Tall bb'ers look much better and are generally tall, handsome, Aryan bastards with muscles. Gunter, Wolf, Ruhl.........all Aryans and somewhat tall.

I am a bit over 6'3

why the rolly eyes?
care to elaborate.

I am 6'3 and can't say it's not quite cool. However, it seems nobody thinks less of a short guy unless they obviously think less of themselves, which is highlighted when short guys are short tempered or aggressive.

Correct, a guys height doesnt really come into my head at all.

Do you think Swedish stat is correct? I doubt it. I'm from Finland and people on average aren't anywhere near that I think. It might be right, just hard to believe for some reason.

looking better for commircial point is different thing but winning contest is totaly diffrent ball game.gunter and rahul cant win any major contest.wolf is only tall bodybuilder right now who can win shows.

Maybe it's easier to pack on musclemass.
It usually is very hard to put on quality-muscle when you are a very tall spindly fellow from the beginning.

Ya know, it's funny how a lot of people are always pointing out how "short" the average bodybuilder is and that they probably only started training because they were "insecure" about their height. And It's usually the taller guys that seem to feel the need to constantly point this out.
Hmmm.....maybe its the tall guys who are really the insecure ones, otherwise why the fuck they seem to care so much about how tall another man is?

I agree...tall people want to be a lil shorter, shorter people want be a lil taller, but it's always the tall dudes hating on the one's who are shorter...

It's all a form of "insecurity," one way or another. We, as people always feel a need to one up one another, whether it's height, money, hotter wife/gf, cars, houses, etc...
Its pretty sad, actually, we have a lot on getbig like this, all part of a perception. :-\

Midgetry has long been linked with aggressivness. With the aggressiveness there is a desire for dominance.... the concept of the alpha male comes to mind which is strongly linked to homosexuality. Because the vertically challenged try to create the image of an alpha male there is a strong propensity to border on all things homosexual.
"Midgetry" My favorite new word ;D
A short guy has an easier time attain muscle thickness/fullness. The taller champs (5'10" and over)are complete freaks so it stands to reason they would DOMINATE
