Picture really puts in perspective how much bigger the open class bodybuilders are...Dexter isn't even considered big by open class standards

Dex has taken it up a few notches. His organs are made of steel.

It's a well-known fact that 99% of all bodybuilders employ the Matt Canning method of 'True Height Adjustment' (THA) when calculating their stature. THA being the fusion of terminological inexactitudes, unscrupulous use of hidden lifts, Marshian algebraic equations and an immaterial invocation of Gödel's incompleteness theorems to construct the following formula:
Length times Diameter plus Weight over Gait divided by Angle of posture squared ((L*D)+(W/G))/(A^2). Thus, it is entirely possible for the 5'6.5" Dorian to be 5'10.5”.

To think a bodybuilder would lie about anything makes me feel like fainting.

LOL!!!

 ;D ;D ;D

I don't want to go full out lifts - but a thicker shoe is fine.  That way I'm not lying, you know?  Because eventually the shoes need to come off.

If you're going to straight up use lifts, go one inch, and not three inches like Sylvester Stallone.  :-X

Seattle Seahawks qb Russell Wilson listed at 5’11 but at the combine he was measured at 5’10 and change

When I measured Arnold's height in January 1968 he was 1/2 inch shorter than the 6-2 claimed. Paul Graham and Bob Bruce were also 1/2 inch shorter than claimed.

I was 5-9.5 as claimed.

Many bodybuilders exaggerate height, weight, measurements, strength, and IQ! Some claim to be younger than they actually are. Albert Beckles did the opposite.


Haha.

You can call yourself 5'10, Vince.  You are or were 5'9.5" - you are allowed to round up.  :)

I am 5'8.5".  I normally tell people, but I don't have any issue rounding up to 5'9.  Nor would I take issue with Arnold rounding up to 6'2.  Ditto for Gunter, who was also 6'1.5".

Dexter has better genetics than Kevin in terms of physique

But his genetics left out his face

Brilliant and insightful.

Meta-physical, might I add that the imprecise variables built into the Canning THA exhibit an alluring "spooky action" (N.B. not related to the dark deeds of Goodrum’s evening constitutionals about Greenville's Bowery district). Canning states that his height is 5'8.5" tall, but also offers that he is accelerating into a nonstop incremental shrinking rate of roughly 1cm per decade. The stated Canning height (CH) and the impending rate of Canning height decline (CHD) form what even the most soft-headed Getbiggers recognize as an entangled pair (like Tbombz and Ahmed the Fez merchant in a Turkish bath house). Hence, not only will the CH elude being accurately measured because it is always declining at the rate of the CHD, but any attempt to precisely measure the CHD is equally futile because its measurement depends on Canning's height being fixed at a set point in time, which is itself impossible because of temporal infinitesimality. Consequently, the desideratum of capturing the CH will always be frustrated by CHD, and vice versa. So, unless we can, Mattatis Mattandis, get a fix on either the CH or the CHD, the upshot introduces the Matterial problem of quantum superposition, which is, as you know, more famously referred to as Schrödinger's Matt.

Either way he definitely does not look 5'10 in the photo.

it's hard to judge by a pic, but Dexter is more like 5'7'', but he likes to claim he's only 5'6'', Dorian was 5'11'' but now he may be only 5'10'', Ronnie was 5'11'' but from what I've heard he's only like 5'9'' now, Branch Warren claims he is 5'7'' but he's obviously shorter than Dexter who is legit 5'7'' tall. Dennis Wolf claims he is 5'11'' when in reality some claim he is actually 6'1''

theyre all short

with a few exceptions like arnold, lou, toney freeman etc

pointless to compare one short guy to another if theyre all short
