average height on girls are fucking taller. Im 169".5"cm and ALOT of girls are taller then me lol.

Ok, you have better understanding about women's height than I do.  :P

I'm 6'/183 cm tall and if I saw a man over 180 cm I consider him tall. And they are pretty rare.

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.
I'm 6' too and actually I think the stats are probably correct.

According to the link :
Finland    178.2 cm (5' 10.2")    164.7 cm (5' 4.8")    15–64    


But, hey, it's only an average...

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.

 i dont think flex and kev is taller than 5-8.i met above 4 in person they dont look too tall when i stand next to them.

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

looking better for commircial point is different thing but winning contest is totaly diffrent ball game.gunter and rahul cant win any major contest.wolf is only tall bodybuilder right now who can win shows.

Why does the sport attract so many vertically challenged people?  :P

Maybe it's easier to pack on musclemass.

It usually is very hard to put on quality-muscle when you are a very tall spindly fellow from the beginning.

That's funny!! Most are of average height (5'8"), especially among the top champions!!

Kevin Levrone - 5'8"
Jay Cutler - 5'9"
Lee Haney - 5'11"
Dorian Yates - 5'11"
Ronnie Coleman 5'11" (6'0", with his curly flattop).
Arnold Schwarzenegger - 6'2"
Ken Waller - 6'0"
Mike Katz - 6'1"
Reg Park - 6'2"
Lou Ferrigno - 6'5"
Berry DeMey - 6'0"
Gary Strydom - 6'2"
Toney Freeman - 6'2"
Quincy Taylor - 6'3"
Phil Heath - 5'9"
Kai Greene 5'9"
Darrem Charles - 5'8"
Johnnie Jackson - 5'8"
Brandon Curry - 5'8"
Paul Dillett - 6'1"
Jim Quinn - 6'1"

Those are just some off the top of my head.
JOJ is 5'6, unless he grew 2 more inches.

Ya know, it's funny how a lot of people are always pointing out how "short" the average bodybuilder is and that they probably only started training because they were "insecure" about their height. And It's usually the taller guys that seem to feel the need to constantly point this out.

Hmmm.....maybe its the tall guys who are really the insecure ones, otherwise why the fuck they seem to care so much about how tall another man is?

I agree...tall people want to be a lil shorter, shorter people want be a lil taller, but it's always the tall dudes hating on the one's who are shorter...

It's all a form of "insecurity," one way or another. We, as people always feel a need to one up one another, whether it's height, money, hotter wife/gf, cars, houses, etc...

Its pretty sad, actually, we have a lot on getbig like this, all part of a perception. :-\

Midgetry has long been linked with aggressivness. With the aggressiveness there is a desire for dominance.... the concept of the alpha male comes to mind which is strongly linked to homosexuality. Because the vertically challenged try to create the image of an alpha male there is a strong propensity to border on all things homosexual.
"Midgetry" My favorite new word  ;D
A short guy has an easier time attain muscle thickness/fullness. The taller champs (5'10" and over)are complete freaks so it stands  to reason they would DOMINATE
