You did a dwarf, Lee Priest.  Rhoden, outside of the lazy eyes, is a serious fucking upgrade.  Anyway, I'd say off this board you are pretty open for anything.

sick lines on him.   Reminds me of kai and ronnie - dudes who probably stayed natty a little longer than others.  Once he did get on the gear bandwagon, he made a big jump others dont see.

I don't know I have met Flex also and he's much taller than me.  I have the pic with him and you can clearly see he's way taller next to me than what Chris is.  Maybe Chris doesn't stand up straight, has poor posture..who knows.

Tooty, I don't want to argue about men in thong heights  ;D but I used to live in Cali and worked out at Venice golds when I was a teen in the late 90's early 2000's, I've seen both Chris and flex workout together on a regular basis and this was when both were 240+ and still competing...

Here's some of the heights of bbers I've seen

Flex -5-10 can look 5-11
Chris -5-10 can look 5-11
Prince - 5-8
Ronnie - 5-10 can look 5-11
Levrone 5-9 can look 5-10
Melvin - 5-8
Shawn - 5-7
Gunter - 6-1
Titus - 5-8/5-9
Chick - 5-10/5-11
Lee -5-3/5-4
Cutler - 5-8
Victor - 5-9

Okay

He looks a couple inches taller than Lee who's a certified little person.  Levrone is listed at 5'11" (is probably shorter in reality), you're telling me he's a mere four inches taller than Shawn here?

Dude I'm not going by pics I'm going by seeing these guys in real life like I said I worked out at golds Venice for years and Shawn would workout there occasionally or I would make the drive up to OC where he regularly worked out at at the then powerhouse/golds gym in Fullerton.

All I'm saying is I've seen enough times these guys and know how tall or short they are

Your only evidence is proving pics that is deceiving  ::)

Btw priest is 5'3/5'4 tops and levrone is 5'9 ish ;)

Hope this helps in the quest for men in thong heights ;D

Met Ronnie in 2004, was shocked out how short he was. I'm 6 foot, no way in hell Ronnie was 5 11'. I felt tall and lanky standing next to him. Cant trust a bodybuilder to give a real height, most are midgets.
