i am 5.7.i admit that in the beginning i was little scared to fight with taller guys.once i was force to fight a guy who was close to 6.in a sec i found out he does not know how to fight.i kicked his ass real good.later in life i learnt that taller guys are real pussies if u stand up to them.they have advantage of their hight to keep fights away from them most of the time and that is their weakness.
shorter guys are successfull in bodybuilding cuz shorter guys have more balance and symmetrical structure compair to taller guys.i mean how many time u see a tall symmetrical bodybuilder.

Flex Wheeler and Chris Cormier comes to mind! Also Ronnie and Kevin Levrone. They are around 5'10 or 5'11. Not tall in probably society standards, but definitely tall in bbing standards.

Tall bb'ers look much better and are generally tall, handsome, Aryan bastards with muscles. Gunter, Wolf, Ruhl.........all Aryans and somewhat tall.

I am a bit over 6'3

I dont consciously feel tall. But when I am standing beside a 6' guy I cant help by notice that I feel significantly taller and bigger than him.

why the rolly eyes?

care to elaborate.

[Immortal_Technique]

I am 6'3 and can't say it's not quite cool. However, it seems nobody thinks less of a short guy unless they obviously think less of themselves, which is highlighted when short guys are short tempered or aggressive.

[Ursus]

Correct, a guys height doesnt really come into my head at all.

isnt the average height for males like 5'6" or 5'7"?

shorter guys dont have to hold as much muscle to look big as opposed to taller guys

no way, average height would be aqbout 5'10''

Do you think Swedish stat is correct? I doubt it. I'm from Finland and people on average aren't anywhere near that I think. It might be right, just hard to believe for some reason.
