How come BB look so unimpressive next to regular people ??

[affeman]

Even the biggest and freakiest BB on the planet look shockingly unimpressive next to regular people. One might think Ramy would dwarf average Joe like there's no tomorrow

[The Scott]

They look like blobs and are in no way considered athletic.  If I may introduce yet another portmanteau?

Bodybuilders are "Pathletic".

These would look impressive next to a regular person

Gunther Schlierkamp, Prime-Arnold, Ralf Moeller, Martyn Ford, The Dutch Giant (Oliver Richters), Prime-Lou Ferrigno, Prime-Sean Allen, Roland Kickinger, Prime-Column Von Mongrel, Prime-Greg Kovacs, Quincy Taylor, Jamie Christian (195 cm), Noah Steere, Aaron Reed.

Even Prime Markus Ruhl and Berry DeMey, Gary Strydom and Prime Ultimate Warrior would look impressive next to a regular 6'1" feller.

I don’t care for big ramy but his muscle mass is crazy impressive. All you people here are not impressed cause they are not tall, who gives a shit. It’s bodybuilding not height building. Yay I’m tall I can reach things. Who cares? I’m 6’2 and it means nothing, my uncle is 6’10 you think I would want to be his lanky ass height or a 5’9 jacked bodybuilder? I’d rather be the jacked shorter guy allday.

Well stated Rob
some on here are fixated on height - yes many average folk are taller AND??
If they don't like bodybuilders short or tall then go to a height board & discuss height.

Being taller isn't carrying more muscle mass per inch - yep so some folk are tall, good for them.

or better 7'2 even better 8'2.
Don't think we've quite had a 9'2 man yet.........

do you think you're being clever? is that it?


You still have to exist in the real world and about after 6'4 you really start to experience inconveniences. but certainly 6'2-6'4 is the sweet spot

I think it's the shift toward prioritizing legs and lower body too. The older V frame beats the modern wide x frame for pictures.

Ramy is atleast twice and wide as the other fella too

Most getbiggers are jacked and tall so don’t have to worry about this.

Robert Pershing Wadlow.  8' 11.1" tall.


You can bet he would have preferred to have been 5' 7" to 5' 10" or so, poor kid.  Normal is just fine.  The extremes are where the pain resides.

Many have smaller joints, makes the muscles look bigger or more 'dramatic'.

So they don't have large bone structures.

  you beat me to it. that's what I was thinking too.

[funk51]

Height definitely matters/ makes a difference! ( in Massachusetts I trained at gyms with Matarazzo/ Paul Demayo/ Jay Cutler / Dan Smith/ Freddy Bigot/ And a bunch of good up and coming guys ...Steve Cantone / Matt Cline/ etc etc ) so when I saw on my gyms Instagram that Nick Walker was training there ..., I felt I should go check it out... maybe get motivated like those guys use to motivate me .... man was I disappointed! He was so short! ....( maybe like 5 ft 7"?) imo a bodybuilder has to be 5 ft 10" and over to look truly impressive! .....I didn't pay any attention to Nick after that first look ...sucks because there is no motivation like the " old days" all these kids want to be Chris Bumstead instead of Dorian Yates .... it's all " gym shark " bad mullets and skinny twigs ..
