I talked to Flex once and he told me he was 5'10 although I always thought he looked a little taller.

Anyway, I think it's odd that the board considers 5'9 to be "short", but 5'11 to be "tall".  So what is "medium"?  ;D

Mr Olympia Should posess an auro of mythical proportions, a guy with height and width.
Fans should NEVER be dissapointed meeting a Mr Olympia in person "yea he was big,,, but alot shorter than expected"
Mr olympia is a BIG mans game, take this pic for example, really exposes how short/narrow phil is compared to an average big guy.


But you certainly wouldnt be dissapointed meeting this giant in person

youaredumb

hope this helps

In bodybuilding terms 5'11" is tall , shoot I go to the gym and I find 90% of people are shorter than me but the average adult male in the U.S. is 5'9" I think those tall groups are for people 6'2" and over and I think short is considered under 5'7"

so 5'7" to 6'1" medium height , under 5'7" short and 6'2" and over tall ( in the real world )

Yes, I think that is correct.  In bodybuilding terms, people do call 5'11 "tall" and you will hear people call those who are 5'9 "short" sometimes, although I don't think that is correct.  It is average height in real life, and for bodybuilding, I would say definitely above average, LOL.

As it stands (no pun intended), I would think 5'10-5'11 is the best height to be Mr. Olympia based on past champions.  To determine the overall best height for a bodybuilder in terms of pro wins, we would need to gather the exact heights of champions of each pro show and compute an average.
