Phil Heath backstage at RAW

[Kwon3]

Rob, are you a short man? Because this OCD nitpicking about how a 5'8" man with steroid muscles is big while a 6'8" man who's not on steroids is just lanky but not big is awfully Darren Avey-like logic.

No I’m 6’1.5”.I just can’t stand when people think tall equals big.Its just not so,tall is tall.Regular people always think tall people who are muscular are huge when they are not,they are just tall and lean not big by any means.Heath is huge is just what I’m saying.I guy who is 5’8 230 is gonna be way bigger than a guy who is 6’6 275 size wise if both lift weights.

But who really gives a fuck either way I guess it’s all opinion and how your eyes perceive shit.

In terms of optical illusion, you're probably right, which is why tall bodybuilders never really got the same freak factor as shorter ones, with the exceptions of Gunther, Paul Dillett, and Lou. The rest never fill in quite the same as a guy who's 5'6" in elevator shoes running tren and a few other compounds with good genetics.

But when you put a 5'8" 230lbs guy next to a 6'6" 275lb man, the difference is glaring. The tall guy could probably wrap his entire arm around the other guy's torso while the short guy would need to jump just to land a punch. Reminds me of Stallone vs. Lundgren in Rocky IV. I really doubt anyone walked away from that movie thinking Rocky was the bigger man in any way even though he was juicing and clearly the biggest he'd ever been.

6’7-8” 250-260 very skinny.big hands,long limbs don’t make you not skinny.phil is what 5’6 250-270 big difference in size phil is huge lebron is Talk.also someone 6’8 or taller is gonna look skinny at even 300 lbs.my uncle is 6’7 and was always around 275 my father was 6’1 always around 250 and my dad made him look like an Ethiopian as they boyhe lifted weights.Yes uncle was taller and had bigger hands feet etc... but from muscle standpoint my father was way bigger.

Huge is big muscle wise

Tall is tall

Guess someone has to be 6’6 350 pounds with 3 percent bf to impress you 

Years of looking at men in thongs aren’t healthy, your perception is distorted

That being said since the mid to late 90’s until now I’ve seen pretty much all the top bbers in thier prime and I would say Ronnie was the biggest and freakiest a long with Paul Dillett and Nasser

Lee priest as good as he is, was not impressive imo, freaky arms for sure but he’s so little it’s a non factor

[Bevo]

lol@ Lebron being skinny

guy's well over 300 and his limbs/hands etc are huge. He could put his entire palm over Phil's heath and unscrew it like a bottle cap.

I stood right next to him and dirk when lebron came to play the Mavericks

Yes he’s not bbing size but from 2 ft away (not 40 ft  ) he isn’t small by any means, like I said big hands, long limbs isn’t small by anyone’s standards , he’s built in a way like a tight end

Would love to see guys like dexter and branch stand next to these skinny lanky guys

Yeah but rocky was 200 lbs at 5’8 so not really comparable,now if you compare Stallone I. The movie get carter where he was prob his biggest ever I’d say he looked bigger than lundgren did in rocky.

Branch and dexter would make these tall skinny basketball players look Ethiopian.If you don’t see that I don’t know what else to say.Branch at what 260 5’6 and lebron 260 at 6’7 pretty easy to see who is carrying way more muscle mass.

Yeh but whos the better fighter? It might come down to tribal tattoos.

[robcguns]

comparing dexter to lebron

So you think lebron has more mass than dexter?That is the most outlandish thing I’ve ever read.

Prob think these huge basketball players are bigger than Ronnie and ruhl too.

Very well said Rob.
What is it with this Tall / Height thinks some folks have.

Tall is Tall that doesn’t mean big or huge unless it’s applied to
Brian shaw / Thor Bjornsson / Zydrunas savickas / Eddie hall etc.

[TRIX]

its hard to tell from pictures, myspace angles will make someone look way bigger if just turned more side on, then you have to know if the bodybuilder is in contest shape, dieted down or offseason

 many bodybuilders look bigger in person then there pictures

I always like the its hard to tell from pictures argument.

Photos remove feelings and emotions that an individual experiences in person. Photos offer a glimpse of the moment. They also provide context.

If someone is good looking, they'll be good looking in photos. If someone is lean, muscular, large, etc they will be in photos.

Elements are lost in pictures but they're mostly emotional.

[Notomorrow]

Mcmahon and Triple H are really good supporters of bodybuilding. Its nice of them to throw a crumb of publicity to the least known, least liked Mr. Olympia. They have always been supportive.

While WBF was fucked...I think Mcmahon should run Olympia..certainly wouldn't be breaking up great moments like Kai and Phil about to fight onstage...they were both in prep..they didn't have energy to fight and if they did, so fucking what?....

Mcmahon is the last guy with some bucks that could save this sinking ship called pro bodybuilding.

Apparently-for some people here-skeletal structure does not count towards "size".
