I love it when I listen to taller bodybuilders come up to me in the gym while I am training and tell me my physique is better than their own due to my short stature....Come on guys just lift to your full potential and quit making excuses that "not being a midget" is the reason your physique looks worse......

On the same note you probably think your forearms have a lot of muscle but you haven`t realized they are that way because of short bones.

same thing with your legs.

its harder to put on muscle when you are tall because you have so much more to fill out

Are you saying this because your forearms are small??? I do have 6'2" bodybuilding friends that don't suffer from the same "tiny forearm syndrome" as you....No offense

Then you are an idiot. You don't see how filling out a larger frame is more difficult?

No, but forearms come from bone size. I have very long,thin bones. Short midgets have foremarms because their bones are shorter and not as long.

Even true Midgets(5 foot and under) have larger forearms in proportion.

Its a fact.

being taller means incorporating more range of motion(ROM) in your workout=more workload, not being a pussy

I am 6' and still compete with 5' somethings in the heavies

Yeah, and a lot more expensive too. For example, some 5'5" 150lb twerp could be on a 1g test/week cycle and get HUUUGE, but a 6'2" 250lb guy would hardly grow...they'd need twice that much to get half the affects.
Same for food and monthly grocery bills.

I agree with you on the grocery bills part but the test part is up to how much your body will pick up on... I have seen this time and time again in the gym

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #13 on:** August 07, 2006, 10:02:46 AM »

I guess a question I could ask all you taller bodybuilders is; What would all of your excuses be if every bodybuilder were the same height??? "He uses more juice than I do" Come on

gracie bjj · « **Reply #14 on:** August 07, 2006, 10:04:00 AM »

so i guess a shorter guy like shawn ray or lee priest doesnt have to train as hard as say gunter?ive seen short guys that couldnt put on no muscle and they trained hard,its an individual thing imo

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #15 on:** August 07, 2006, 10:06:09 AM »

My friend and I that are two totally different heights and respond the same to the same amount of test he does weigh around 50lbs more than me also....It depends on how your receptors pick up on it...gh is different so is slin...

I agree with you, bro. I'm 5'6" tall and one 6' plus jackass came up to me and tried to tell me the reason I could seated pulley row the entire stack was because "I am short and my arms are short, thus allowing shorter reps." After shunning him off, I noticed he tried to do the same thing. He almost threw out his back. Dumb fuck. Lift what you can and pay no attention to others. Thats why Lee Preist is my favorite BB.

it's all relative. A bigger guy has just as many advantages as a shorter guy in bodybuilding..ever hear someone say "a good big man will beat a good little man everytime"? If you're short it "might" be easier to put on muscle but if your taller you have a bigger frame to work with. What really matters is if your a mesmorph, an ectomorph or an endomorph. If you have a short dude who has tendencies to be more ectomorphic he's gonna have the same problem a tall ecto will have.

Its harder to fill your frame out when your taller

But i stiil would not want to be an oompa loompa
