Yes. It's why I exclusively hang out with people shorter than me.
On a serious note though, the guy is sub-1.60m that's dwarf territory. No matter how "big" you get being that tall, it simply looks goofy.

Vinci had sick lats. Similar to Bob Peoples' back.
He was only 4'11". Like that guy Suleimanov from Bulgaria who recently passed away who was a terrific mighty-mite oly lifter. He was 4'10".
Vinci didn't let his height stop him from doing great things.

Sick back. RIP.
