And I’m a big Flex Lewis fan....

Priest has that freak factor but his structure is flawed, torso too long, legs short, mediocre chest, narrow, and decent back

There were a lot better shorter bbers

Not as a whole physique, did priest ever beat Shawn on stage where it all mattered?

To be fair... that may be the "mode" height [mathematically, the most frequently occurring number].

Though you could be right that 5'7" is the average. I would have to check with the 2018 Mr. Olympia competitors list and see.

Because tall people struggle to fill out, even with drugs, there are exceptions but for the most part bodybuilders are under 5'10 or else they look too lanky.
