On line Dex is listed at 5'5 and later at 5'6. Breon is listed on his website at 5'7??
Dorian is not much taller then Dex in this pic.

-
not saying they dont lie, but there is something odd with that picture, everyones head looks huge and their legs look dwarfish.
also, dorian still has great calves
-
Damn from This pic I'd have to agree with philly heath bar, he looks like a weekend guy or a fan lol
-
I thought Dorian Yates height was 5'10 ?
-
Wrestlers lie about height too. Seems to go with the "sport", same as BB
Prostitutes lie about their age, it's a universal thing
-
Gotta wonder how long Dex can keep that up. That’s some heavy dosing for a guy his age.
-
Some lie in reverse also.
You had to be no taller than 5'10" to fit into an ape costume years back before computer-generated apes came in vogue.
But I can't use Piano for an example because I was no where near the set back then.
But for some unexplained reason Orville Burke was an exception.

maybe he didnt use a costume...

Just trust me on this one. ;D
Bodybuilders tend not to lie about their heights. Weights, yes. Heights, no. Although King Kamali claimed 5'9.5", and I don't think he was being truthful there. There are some other cases too.
Dexter is 5'6.5". Dorian is 5'10.5". Although with that said, we lose around 1cm per decade starting from age 40. So Dorian may be 5'10 by now, but I don't think that is the case. Ronnie Coleman more likely lost height. He was also 5'10.5", but with so many back [and neck?] surgeries at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Ronnie lost a full inch in height. Hulk Hogan went from 6'8 to 6'3 for that reason.
Having been to 17 expos over the years, I can tell you that bodybuilders are generally honest about their heights. I am basing that on my height of 5'8.5", given that I wear bit of a chunky heal and have big hair, making me look more like 5'9.5". And my impression is that over 90% of bodybuilders tell the truth about their heights. Weights are another matter...

At the 2007 Arnold, I first saw Dorian when he was walking. So there is a point in our walks when we are a bit taller because our feet are not flat - so I thought Dorian looked to be six feet or more.
But I think it's safe to say he was about 5'10.5" or 5'11. Probably about the perfect height for a bodybuilder because it's short enough to pack on a lot of mass, but tall enough to have stature in competition.
I would say that Dorian and Ronnie hit the sweet spot for bodybuilding at that height. Meanwhile, Dennis Wolf is probably 6'0.5" - even being that height has hurt him a little, which is crazy, because it's not like he's NBA tall or anything.

In all these pics dex is wearing very thick shoes.
-
OMG, you can't be serious? I know for a fact that bodybuilders are the most honest people on the planet. To think a bodybuilder would lie about anything makes me feel like fainting.
Bodybuilders are some of the most humble honest people out there. Get a clue kid.
-
When I measured Arnold's height in January 1968 he was 1/2 inch shorter than the 6-2 claimed. Paul Graham and Bob Bruce were also 1/2 inch shorter than claimed.
I was 5-9.5 as claimed.
Many bodybuilders exaggerate height, weight, measurements, strength, and IQ! Some claim to be younger than they actually are. Albert Beckles did the opposite.

As I mentioned he was listed at 5'5 earlier in his career and jumped to 5'6 a bit later. In meeting him I would have guessed 5'5 and he was fully on the gas and freaky jacked. Look how small he makes little Breon look.
Oh and Breon is 5'7. ::)
Matt is the expert so I won't mention others I've met.

Yep and actors are the worst. I also check combine results vs when guys enter the NFL. It's amazing how they grow in just a few months.
-
Matt c so your saying in your expert opinion that bodybuilders do not lie about there height bwa ha ha no way Breon is 5/7 more like 5/3 with boots on
-
5/6 with his boots in and before he took a shit

Exactly. I was driving while listening to this thread through a text-to-voice app, passing in and out of consciousness, and am now only posting this after having awoken in a ditch with my airbag deployed. >:(

What did you think when you met him?
Is this wrong?

Mr White if he is 5:7 then I’m 6/5!

Picture really puts in perspective how much bigger the open class bodybuilders are...Dexter isn't even considered big by open class standards

Dex has taken it up a few notches. His organs are made of steel.

It's a well-known fact that 99% of all bodybuilders employ the Matt Canning method of 'True Height Adjustment' (THA) when calculating their stature. THA being the fusion of terminological inexactitudes, unscrupulous use of hidden lifts, Marshian algebraic equations and an immaterial invocation of Gödel's incompleteness theorems to construct the following formula:
Length times Diameter plus Weight over Gait divided by Angle of posture squared ((L*D)+(W/G))/(A^2). Thus, it is entirely possible for the 5'6.5" Dorian to be 5'10.5”.

I don't want to go full out lifts - but a thicker shoe is fine. That way I'm not lying, you know? Because eventually the shoes need to come off.
If you're going to straight up use lifts, go one inch, and not three inches like Sylvester Stallone. :-X

Haha.
You can call yourself 5'10, Vince. You are or were 5'9.5" - you are allowed to round up. :)
I am 5'8.5". I normally tell people, but I don't have any issue rounding up to 5'9. Nor would I take issue with Arnold rounding up to 6'2. Ditto for Gunter, who was also 6'1.5".

Brilliant and insightful.
Meta-physical, might I add that the imprecise variables built into the Canning THA exhibit an alluring "spooky action" (N.B. not related to the dark deeds of Goodrum’s evening constitutionals about Greenville's Bowery district). Canning states that his height is 5'8.5" tall, but also offers that he is accelerating into a nonstop incremental shrinking rate of roughly 1cm per decade. The stated Canning height (CH) and the impending rate of Canning height decline (CHD) form what even the most soft-headed Getbiggers recognize as an entangled pair (like Tbombz and Ahmed the Fez merchant in a Turkish bath house). Hence, not only will the CH elude being accurately measured because it is always declining at the rate of the CHD, but any attempt to precisely measure the CHD is equally futile because its measurement depends on Canning's height being fixed at a set point in time, which is itself impossible because of temporal infinitesimality. Consequently, the desideratum of capturing the CH will always be frustrated by CHD, and vice versa. So, unless we can, Mattatis Mattandis, get a fix on either the CH or the CHD, the upshot introduces the Matterial problem of quantum superposition, which is, as you know, more famously referred to as Schrödinger's Matt.

Either way he definitely does not look 5'10 in the photo.
-
Breon is tiny. I was at prejudging for the and spoke with him after. He has a great physique. He's a legit 5'5.
-
it's hard to judge by a pic, but Dexter is more like 5'7'', but he likes to claim he's only 5'6'', Dorian was 5'11'' but now he may be only 5'10'', Ronnie was 5'11'' but from what I've heard he's only like 5'9'' now, Branch Warren claims he is 5'7'' but he's obviously shorter than Dexter who is legit 5'7'' tall. Dennis Wolf claims he is 5'11'' when in reality some claim he is actually 6'1''
-
theyre all short
with a few exceptions like arnold, lou, toney freeman etc
pointless to compare one short guy to another if theyre all short

No, lying is lying, do not say you are 5'10'' if you are 5'9.5'', why lie? always tell the truth, I'm 5'7'', almost 5'8'' after sleeping 8 hours, do I claim 5'8''? No, I always say I'm 5'7''. Learn to be truthful.

Why is it more "truthful" to round down than up? Neither is exact and they are both reasonable approximations.

Dear Falco,
This is to be expected. Professor Khan.N.Singh and I have spent a significant amount of time studying this field, and what we are attempting to explore will understandably seem inaccessible to those without a solid academic background in the sciences, an understanding of philosophical hermeneutics, and a strong ability to parse intentionally esoteric and obfuscatory language designed to lampoon the subject's hypernumeracy resulting from a neurodevelopmental disorder. With that in mind, I will attach a simple diagram for illustrative purposes at the end of this post. However, what we are essentially saying is that a synthesis of quantum theory and a radical modification of Einstein's special relativity theory (E=mc²) are needed if we are to solve the paradox of Schrödinger's Matt and give an accurate measurement of True Canning Height (TCH).
As we have demonstrated, for the Canning THA to be correctly formulated we must factor in both the stated Canning height (CH) and the rate of the Canning height decline (CHD). Now, the problem we face here is that Einstein's general theory of relativity employs a non-Euclidean geometry - meaning that any space-time point can be transmuted into any other, which effectively blurs the distinction between observer and observed and results in us having to question what can exist in reality, needlessly complex 'wave function' descriptions, and the Copenhagen Interpretation of this paradox suggesting that Matt Canning's true height will remain in a superposition until he is forced to interact with the external world and reveal his actual, shoeless form. To overcome this I propose ignoring it, and reformulating Einstein's equation ( E=mc²) to mean: Elevation equals Matt Canning squared. This way, by taking the stated Canning height (5'9.5") applying the Canning THA (L*D)+(W/G))/(A^2) plus E=mc² (giving us x=±√169) minus the terminological inexactitudes (-5") and Canning height decline (1cm per decade, fixed for mathematical simplicity), we can conclude, through sheer conjecture and a non-observance of arithmetic, that the TCH is actually a diminutive 170.18 centimeters. Hardly surprising that one would go to such lengths to conceal the truth!

The thing is, 5'7'' means it's either 5'7'' exact, or 5'7'' and a quarter, or 5'7'' and a half, you get the idea, it basically implies that your height is either 5'7'' or maybe slightly above, but definitely not 5'8''. If I were to say I'm 5'8'' that would be an absolute lie, unless I actually grow and become 5'8'' legit (My Dad went from 5'9'' to legit 5'10'' in his late 40's, idk why, very strange but it's true, he was even properly measured and everything)

Spencer Hawes was measured nearly identical in height to Dwight Howard in the NBA combine at 6 ft 9.5. Somehow this ended up in Dwight Howards NBA height listing as 6'10" and Hawes's at about 7'1".

another thing to consider is, men, and sometimes even women, are known to flat out lie about their height and add an inch or 2, sometimes 3 or 4 more inches, it's outrageous! I once knew a dude who was at the most 5'5'', I mean I towered over him and I'm only 5'7'', and later I found out his myspace account claimed his height was 5'9''.....needless to say I was beyond furious, such nerve! I have also caught a TON of men lying about their height, the most common one is dudes who are 5'11'' they love to say ''oh I'm 6 feet tall''...such bullshit!
-

ugh...no, this is where you are wrong, lying is lying, I don't understand why is it so hard for most of you to be truthful, I seriously say this, if someone can easily lie about their height, he can lie about anything, he's a spineless SOB

Well...as you said, height does vary by time of day. I am probably 5'9, as I have been on the couch lying down reading Getbig and other things online for the past several hours, lol. After a full eight hours sleeping, as you said, you can be up to an inch taller than your shortest height. In my case, I don't think I have ever measured myself outside of the 5'8.3" to 5'9.3" range. But since I am almost always over 5'8.5", I consider it "fair" to round up to 5'9. I mean...it's not way off or anything. Maybe a centimetre at most.

He means getting the thick-set broad look without drugs.
Without drugs and fat, most over 6'1 look like bean poles, there are exceptions but most struggle to fill out.

No, I know what you mean. I'm 6'3'', but... I'll take the good with the bad.

I am about 1 inch shorter when i am all dieted down/stage mode
how so? all the cut water/depleted body you are actually shorter. freaky
i kept measuring an 1 inch shorter at weigh ins.
bodybuilders, golfers, fisherman, they all lie
track and field is the most honest sport in terms of measuring tangible feats (its pretty cut and dry what your mile time is etc)

Chuck Liddel lied about his reach, I forgot how him and his trainer did it officially, but they lied listing a shorter reach by like 3 or 4 inches, this completely threw off his opponents, he talked about in some interview. Now this is a great reason to lie.

I am privileged to work alongside such a talented colleague.
Gentlemen, happy news! Our work on the paradoxical nature of the True Canning Height will appear as a series of lectures in: Herren Drs. Kahn.N.Singh und Meta-physical, "Vorlesungen über Schrödinger's Matt: Austisten Animadversionen," Erkenntnis. An International Journal of Scientific Philosophy (forthcoming, 2018-)
Addendum: In his famous Confessions of a Man Tall Enough not to be Concerned with the Heights of Others, the lanky Augustine of Hippo gave us the following oft-quoted account of the TCH:
What is the True Canning Height? I know well enough what it is, provided that nobody asks me; but if I am asked what it is and try to explain, I am baffled. Why? Because if the TCH were always fixed and never shrinking at the rate of 1cm/decade, it would not be height but diminution. If, therefore, the present TCH is measured by the fact that it moves on to become its lesser, how can we say that even the present TCH is, when the reason why it is is that it is not? (p. 264).
Cheers!

Well...as you said, height does vary by time of day. I am probably 5'9, as I have been on the couch lying down reading Getbig and other things online for the past several hours, lol. After a full eight hours sleeping, as you said, you can be up to an inch taller than your shortest height. In my case, I don't think I have ever measured myself outside of the 5'8.3" to 5'9.3" range. But since I am almost always over 5'8.5", I consider it "fair" to round up to 5'9. I mean...it's not way off or anything. Maybe a centimetre at most.
in your case is different, you ARE 5'9'', you legit reach 5'9'', even SURPASS that height, after 8-12 hours of deep sleep, you DO have the right to claim that height, 100%

Wiki lists Buendia at 5'7 and other places he's listed at 5'8.
Looks about 5'6. Can't find one next to Breon.

Bwendia is lying. I've seen him many times and he's not 5'7. That is a lie. Many of these guys lie about their height and weight. I've been the Mr. O the last 18 years and other shows. I've seen them all talked to them all. Many are lying on height and weight.
Bwendia is 5'6. Phil is actually closer to 5'10.
People that were shorter than I thought when I met them were
Melvin Anthony
Shawn Ray
Bwendia
Breon
Ronnie Coleman- (True height before back problems definitely not 5'11. He's around 5'9-5'10 tops.
I'm sure there are many others, just don't remember but bring up a name and I'll know if I met them. I have a good memory for this because when I went to my first Mr. O in 99. I remembered how much shorter everyone was then what they said.

Agree. Here is Shawn next to Breon. He is wearing shoes and Breon is leaning to the side. SR 5'5?
I can't imagine what Roelly looks like in person at 5'6 260. :o Jay Cutler looked shorter then I expected when I saw him.
-
I would say Shawn Ray was legit 5'7'' in his prime, he is older now, maybe he's 5'6'' now, no less than that

When I measured Arnold's height in January 1968 he was 1/2 inch shorter than the 6-2 claimed. Paul Graham and Bob Bruce were also 1/2 inch shorter than claimed.
I was 5-9.5 as claimed.
Many bodybuilders exaggerate height, weight, measurements, strength, and IQ! Some claim to be younger than they actually are. Albert Beckles did the opposite.
Why should anyone believe U ::) ::) ::)

I've met Shawn Ray, he's probably 5'5, and looked like a milk dud, it's a shame because he probably had one of the top 5 best physiques of all time. I'm not saying he has to maintain his 90's build but at least maintain an athletic build along the lines of Labrada.

My pleasure today was to kick the ass of World Champion of Bodybuilding Shawn Ray on his first day back in the gym after a year on the sofa. Great first day back Shawn! Let's stay consistent and can't wait for our next week's session, Leg day baby 🤣💪🏼💪🏼❤️🔑🔑🙏🏽🙏🏽

Or maybe he's just trying to bang her. Why would a seasoned bodybuilder, a Mr. Olympia runner up and Arnold classic champ, have to hire a girl to train him? Especially legs? Ray had some of the best wheels ever.

Even people 6 ft lie
Louie claims 6’5 and Arnold claims 6’2
In the end people just lie ;D

Is that a fair rule to standard? If so, great!! Then I can call myself 5'9, as I am at least 5'9 and 1/4 in the morning, if not a cunt hair taller - putting me at 5'9.3" after a full night of rest.
It's just that sometimes I can shrink to almost a full inch shorter than that, and I am seldom much taller than 5'8.6" late in the day. :-X A height I have been since 17.

Plus people lie about their shoe size a lot, which just seems weird to me. Height I kinda understand but this?

Shawn Ray was measured at 5'6.5" in his doctor's office in his DVD. He was 40 at the time. So it's fair for him to call himself 5'7. Though in the DVD, he said "I always thought I was 5'7.5" or something to that effect.
Cool of him to leave that in the DVD, as it was not an insecure thing. Others may not want to include that.
Johnnie Jackson is around 5'7.5". There are some other mistakes in this thread. I agree that Phil Heath is probably a bit closer to 5'9.5". Not sure why Wiggs said Ronnie was never over 5'10. Wiggs himself is a weak 5'10, but Ronnie was a cunt hair taller than Wiggs, so I think Ronnie's prime height of 5'10.5" was realistic.

mr white , shawn ray looks like he has been on the sofa for more than a year and resembles more now of a chocolate turd, your more vascular and in shape than he is. also by the pics of breon he is a border line dwarf and i would say maybe 5-2 on a good day with his gay ass lifting boots .

Dressing yourself in the dark to resemble a Ghetto Dwarf doesn't help you look taller. Just look at Dori, Nori and Ori from the Hobbit to see what I mean.
It makes 'em look stubbier.

No, Ronnie is was never 5'11. I said 5'10 tops before surgery. I've never been 5'10. I'm your height.

we ALL shrink throughout the day, this is perfectly normal, I can be as short at 5'6'' and 3/4'' at the end of a rough day, but not always, many times my day ends and I'm still 5'7''. Today I slept a lot (15+ hours) and I was ALMOST 5'8'' when I woke up, it's a beautiful feeling

people are douchbags, get over it, some people literally LIE all they long, and LOVE telling bullshit stories to people, these people are ''pathological liers'', they love to lie, for fun, and they can't stop

I would say Jay Cutler is legit 5'9'' while Phil Heath is 5'10'', he's one of those who lies about his height and pretends to be shorter than he really is, just like Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler both claimed to be 5'9'' when in reality Kevin is 5'10'' and Flex is 5'11'', and Dorian claimed to be 5'10'' when in reality he was 5'11''. Keep in mind they are all older, in their 50s now and they all took, and abused steroids, which causes height loss, they all probably lost at least an inch in height by now. Btw Lee Haney was 6' tall and he claimed 5'11''. I've done extensive research about this

Hulk Hogan was never 6'8".

True. DU listed Heath as 5'9. D1 basketball program wouldn't take away an inch vs. give a player an inch on the stats sheets.

By 2009 he had lost height, I'm sure he was 5'10'' in his prime
