dc8pack you are definitely a big dude just short.  Short guys just have an aspect of diminishing returns.  Once they get past a certain point it doesn't matter how big they get.they just don't look big.  I'm 6'5 so it's hard for me to call any dude under 5'10 or so "big".  A big guy is both taller than average and bigger than average.  But don't worry chaos is the king of cankles not size.

that's definitely a valid point. I'm sure it's hard to look at someone who is 5'7 and label them as big when you're 6'5.  That would be like me trying to label a guy that is 4'9 and 130lbs as big. Now I'm just bitter about being short.....thanks :)

Well trust me height isn't all its cracked up to be, especially when trying to pack on muscle.

That's probably one of the best physiques I've ever seen on here actually - the sort of physique I am striving for myself.

Still manages to do that Pavlovian "thumbs up" thing that all lifters do it seems. Probably does it when he sleeps and will on his deathbed.

5'7" 155
5'9" 165
5'11" 175

This is the ideal weight for those heights at a normal bodyfat, for average people.

Being the same weight at 5% bodyfat would be very fit/muscular
Being 10lbs heavier or more at 5% bodyfat is where big starts
Being 30lbs heavier or more at 5% bodyfat is where huge(juiced) starts

The bodyfat being key here...it's easy to be "big" if you are +20% BF

My sister in law just married this guy and had the family meet him.  So we all had some dinner and hes like" jezzuz h ur a big dude!!"  He asks what my arms measure and i tell him.   All of a sudden he says he has a 20yr old kid whos on his first cycle has 20" arms cold. Hes been liftin less than a year. ::)    But the kicker is hes going to be down soon for a visit. (thyre from out of state)  Im sure hes going to look like a bag of puss. :-X
Back when I was 300 Lbs someone told me he worked with a guy who was much bigger, at 7", 440 Lbs.  ::) There must be some special place where they hide these giants who are bigger than pro strongmen.
