Post by: Matt on March 04, 2006, 01:38:05 PM: Dexter Jackson = 5'6
Melvin Anthony = 5'8
Branch Warren = 5'7
Lee Priest = 5'4
Victor Martinez = 5'9
Gustavo Badell = 5'7

Looks like I would be taller than all of them. :D

I am usually pretty good at keeping track of the heights and weights of pros in these pages:

Just by that picture alone, Vic M looks the worst out of the bunch...Of course its a picture on an angle and pictures don't tell the total truth...He just looks like he doesn't have a cut on him...Like he is full of Oil ala flex wheeler in his later years...

Someone I used to know a while ago (Competitive bodybuilder who's name passes me by) met Ronnie on several occasions. This guy is 5'7" in his shoes and he said that in every instance he met Ronnie(Also wearing tennis shoes) was TOPS 2 inches taller than he was.

Ronnie might be 5'10" in some heavy boots...Though I doubt it. The whole 5'11" is what Flex magazine pushes. Remember these are the same people who claim Arnold is 6'2" and Gunter is 6'3" ::)

How tall are you exactly? Bodybuilding.com has you at 5'7". They have Arnold at 6'2" and we all know that's B.S. So i'm assuming you're not that tall. Meaning 5'5"-5'6"?
