Lee






my theory is that he was born to be near six feet tall.   but early use of androgens caused the epiphiseal (sp?) bone growth plates to fuse, stunting his skeletal growth.  the bonus to this is that your muscle cell count is set at birth (barring the hyperplasia arguement). so he had the muscle fibers and potential for muscle size of a six footer, crammed onto a 5'3'' frame.

why would you say he should of been nealry 6 feet tall?

was he ridiculously shorter than everyone in his family?

He actually stated that he is one of the tallest in his family.

lee was given GH from about 12 y.o. because his family had the short gene...im not kidding...

they were worried about him being really really short and they, the docs, prescribed GH as a way to help with his state of mind.

im not joking, this is true.

and yes, he is one of the tallest in his family. it worked... apparently he was destined to be 5' or less... and his family did what they could as early as they could when they recognised it was affecting him psychologically.

this is the true story. im sure its on google..

It is true, The Australian Government ran a program a couple of decades ago supplying Growth Hormone for short kids  (I think the program still runs).  Another little known fact is Lee's Father was a raging homosexual, that is why he has taken his Mum's maiden name for his surname.  Probably explains his deep need to prove his manhood via hyper-masculinity.

Gaspari, Heath, Ray come to mind. Wheeler was an ecto but his delts and thin waist in '93 made for a very good taper.

Good point, the insertion to shoulder joint has to be key a more direct link to the arms ie rather than outside the delt cap. Just a guess I maybe wrong.

Narrow shoulders make for bigger arms (Heath excluded who does have big arms). As usual with Bbing, it's the illusion that matters. Broad shoulders doesn't necessarily make for a better torso, specially if the torso is a long one (see Pakulski).
