Even the biggest and freakiest BB on the planet look shockingly unimpressive next to regular people. One might think Ramy would dwarf average Joe like there's no tomorrow ???
-
They look like blobs and are in no way considered athletic. If I may introduce yet another portmanteau?
Bodybuilders are "Pathletic".

These would look impressive next to a regular person
Gunther Schlierkamp, Prime-Arnold, Ralf Moeller, Martyn Ford, The Dutch Giant (Oliver Richters), Prime-Lou Ferrigno, Prime-Sean Allen, Roland Kickinger, Prime-Column Von Mongrel, Prime-Greg Kovacs, Quincy Taylor, Jamie Christian (195 cm), Noah Steere, Aaron Reed.
Even Prime Markus Ruhl and Berry DeMey, Gary Strydom and Prime Ultimate Warrior would look impressive next to a regular 6'1" feller.

I don’t care for big ramy but his muscle mass is crazy impressive. All you people here are not impressed cause they are not tall, who gives a shit. It’s bodybuilding not height building. Yay I’m tall I can reach things. Who cares? I’m 6’2 and it means nothing, my uncle is 6’10 you think I would want to be his lanky ass height or a 5’9 jacked bodybuilder? I’d rather be the jacked shorter guy allday.

Well stated Rob
some on here are fixated on height - yes many average folk are taller AND??
If they don't like bodybuilders short or tall then go to a height board & discuss height.
Being taller isn't carrying more muscle mass per inch - yep so some folk are tall, good for them.

i guess if bodybuilding matters to you shorter would be better.. kinda? wouldn't you want to be 6'2 and jacked tho?

or better 7'2 even better 8'2.
Don't think we've quite had a 9'2 man yet.........

do you think you're being clever? is that it?
You still have to exist in the real world and about after 6'4 you really start to experience inconveniences. but certainly 6'2-6'4 is the sweet spot

I think it's the shift toward prioritizing legs and lower body too. The older V frame beats the modern wide x frame for pictures.
-

Ramy is atleast twice and wide as the other fella too

Most getbiggers are jacked and tall so don’t have to worry about this.

Robert Pershing Wadlow. 8' 11.1" tall.
(https://img.ibxk.com.br/2018/06/01/robert-pershing-wadlow-01182306239372.jpg?w=1040)
You can bet he would have preferred to have been 5' 7" to 5' 10" or so, poor kid. Normal is just fine. The extremes are where the pain resides.
-
Many have smaller joints, makes the muscles look bigger or more 'dramatic'.
So they don't have large bone structures.

you beat me to it. ;D ;D ;D that's what I was thinking too.

it's better to be tall.

Height definitely matters/ makes a difference! ( in Massachusetts I trained at gyms with Matarazzo/ Paul Demayo/ Jay Cutler / Dan Smith/ Freddy Bigot/ And a bunch of good up and coming guys ...Steve Cantone / Matt Cline/ etc etc ) so when I saw on my gyms Instagram that Nick Walker was training there ..., I felt I should go check it out... maybe get motivated like those guys use to motivate me .... man was I disappointed! He was so short! ....( maybe like 5 ft 7"?) imo a bodybuilder has to be 5 ft 10" and over to look truly impressive! .....I didn't pay any attention to Nick after that first look ...sucks because there is no motivation like the " old days" all these kids want to be Chris Bumstead instead of Dorian Yates .... it's all " gym shark " bad mullets and skinny twigs ..

Why Do you think you are being clever ??
Height is relevant to on what sport you do & can be a Plus or a Negative
For open class Pro Bodybuilding 5'6 to around 5'11 seems to be where most
Mr Olympia winners fit in .

That’s true
Being “tall” in bbing is a disadvantage
Being “tall” in gymnastics is also a disadvantage
That being said cock size is more important than height, you can be 5’7 with a thick, coke can, vascular hog compared to someone that is 6’5 with a mini water pistol, ultimate ownage right there

Hey Mike,I did the Mr. Mass one year and Dave Palumbo was in the show.......THEN I saw Fred Bigot who was also entered.......guy looked absolutely fucking phenomanal,needless to say he won his class and the overall.
Really impressive physique to say the very least.

Fred looked awesome onstage and in the gym! After he turned pro he did the night of champions in 2003 and did not place and kinda just disappeared after that! ... always a nice guy and was motivating to see him train ....

Great pics....too bad,but probaby a smart move that he didn`t continue.
He reminds me of a better version of a guy named Prince Fontenot who looked great and is now persuing a pro wrestling career.

Hey Mike did you ever run across a black guy named Carlton aka Carl Richards up your way in Mass?
He trained in Springfield for a time.....great build.

I was Greg House before I changed my name to avoid prosecution!! :D
No Rob,never heard of him,but he sounds like a guy I would have liked in one of my many former lives. LOL ;D

I don't think so ..... so many promising bodybuilders just disappeared back then it's a shame really .... these guys would do great today! .... but back then it was just way too competitive... and the " talent pool" was huge!

This. Anything over 6' and over 210lbs looks infinitely better than these midgets. They look like fat guys in street clothes

or you can be 6'2 with a hog, it's not either or

Mattarazzo actually looks big even though you were a tall big guy even back then

Bodybuilding is all about looking impressive, in person height is automatically more impressive than girth. You can get a guy 6 foot 5 with good hip to waist ratio and only a small amount of muscle and he'll look way more impressive than a guy 5 foot 6 hanging around 220.
Height is like IQ/money, people who claim it doesn't matter usually lack it. This idea you can get too tall is a joke. Being 6 foot 8 with a good build, is the best. Problem is it's incredibly rare.

Extreme height sucks unless you’re an nba player
