Can be in the Top 8 at Olympia open.
I dunno man, maybe... I've got nothing against the shorter competitors, and this guy is good... but there are some of them (Thierry Pastel, Danny Padilla,etc.) where you can't tell they are short by looking at a photo - their proportions are still pleasing to the eye...
And on the flip side of that you can then get some competitors like this guy, Lee Priest and that new French guy Vuillod (sp?) where they've got a whole bunch of mass but there's no escaping a touch of the 'Goblin' syndrome caused by their (relatively) short limbs...
If you correct the length of limb, then the amount of muscle mass just 'sits' better on their frame...
