Im sick of it Im 6'1 215 at about 10%bf, man I go to the gym and I see these little 5'9 guys running around looking swool as fuck with their swool chest and compacted bodys pressing like 305 with ease even though their stride is about 1/2 of mine but its ok im not mad at em, but damn man it makes me want to be 5'7 at times my boy is 5'8 210 and hes like 2 times as wide as me but if he was stretched out he would look skinny. OK im done I just couldnt hold it in anymore!:p :D . I ts all good.
 
but, a tall bodybuilder naturally looks larger than a small bodybuilder. I know its just your opinion, but, i was never a fan of the short built look. Im 5'11 and would much rather be taller then shorter.
 
:)

If it makes you feel any better (which I doubt), I'm 5'7, 205 13%bf. It's nice to be small, but even though the stocky little guys look bigger, a few more inches would be nice. I'd give a little to gain a little later on. That's just me.

I'm happy with my apperance, but I'll stick it out at 5'7 and keep growing.

At 6'3, I too feel your pain :D It's even worse when you do exercises that involve leverage... such as lateral raises. You can't do near as much weight with a 3 foot arm as a person with a 1 foot arm :lmao:

Then again, to me, true strength is more important than how strong I look.
 
I am 5'10, 215 about 9 %. I can't believe you wish you were shorter. Height has nothing to do with the way you look. You need to eat more, train better or something. Look at Arnold He's tall, but he is huge. I wish I was your height.
The grass is always greener.....

I am 5'5" and those short people are always in my way, taking up bench space and being a genral pain and waste of space,


"I hate short people-they got no reason"-Randy Newman
 
I don't know what the problem is. I'm 6'6 and there are shorter people that can bench more because they have short arms, but I look huge compared to them. That's what we're after unless you're a power lifter.
 
Its not that im not happy with my look and height but man If I was like 2 inches shorter(Not that I want to be) man id look hella swool.
 
i am at 5'7 and my buddy is at 6'5 ....if you put us on stage i would take him. but we go out everyone talks about how big he is. he is a giant though...6'5 265. i guess the moral of the story is keep working at it....and someday you will be glad you are tall.
 
I'm 5'10 (short), but I have a better build and look alot better than most guys taller than me at my gym, I guess it's because I'm more compact and the muscles look fuller, plus it's all about symetry. The only thing is that I can't get too big because then I don't look good in clothes. I wish was taller....if I could only go back to puberty I would of stoped smoking an eaten like a motha fucka, and maybe a little Grow Hormone :)
 
shit im 5"8" and id give anything to be 6"1".

It's just as hard for a skinny 5'8" guy to pack on enough weight to look big as it is for a skinny 6'1" guy, its all genetic and how easy you put weight on.
 
im like 5'5 and 225 and it sucks! all i hear about is if so and so had as short of arms as me they would be just as strong! being short dark and handsome isnt all its cracked up to be
 
A way that I think about it sometimes is like this:

A 6'3 person wanting to have the same proportions and body composition as another person at 5'6 must have 47% more mass than the little guy. That means 47% more muscle and presumably 47% more food. That's alot of extra food! No wonder it's hard to get the same look. I have trouble eating 3000 cals! (unless they're beer :))

Strenght is strength. If short guys could bench more because there arms are short then midgets would be bench press champions. Improve yourself and don't worry about others. Not a flame Bro, I promise you. :)

Very true... I am 5' 11 and I would give anything to be 6" 3 or 4. I see tall guys lifting like pussies in the gym and I just wish I could have their physique so I could fill it out for them. I think too many tall guys make excuses and look at shorter guys like they have an advantage. What the fuck is the advantage in being short? Sure Squatting 600 pounds is a lot easier when you are 5' 11", but If you squat 600 at 6' 3" you are a big motherfucker!

Wanna see some tall guys who didn't bitch? Watch the World's Strongest Man competition.

shorter guys can seem to bench more, i would assume from the short arms..... i hate short fucks too, they think they are real strong.. and im not weak i bench over 400lbs strict at 205.. age 18:D
 
True, I envy that short people can put up so much weight on the bench, hell if all I had to do was push the weight for 4 inches instead of 20 I bet can do twice as much. My training partner during school is 6'8" and he has to push like a motherfucker to get the weight all the way up.
 
I am 6'3" and I have loved being tall my whole life. It has always been an advantage.

Except now...I feel the urge to compete but I need to put on some more size to even out my proportions. I'll have to hit a nice bulking cycle in the fall and hopefully I can compete at 6'3" 240 lbs. Small by todays standards but the BEST was 6"2 235 and that is the epitome in my book. Once I reach 240 competitive weight it will be about shaping not getting bigger.

Tall people need more muscle to reach the proportions needed BUT do not gain muscle any quicker than a little guy. BASTARDS!!!

:fro:
 
Well I'm 5'6 208 lbs and i would like to have 2-3 more inches height but not at the expence of having a hard time gaining because gaining is easy for me but i have put the hard years in to get it . I've never had a problem in sports or the women so being short dark and handsome is fine with me especially when i can't do anything about it anyway. lol
 
Im 5'8 190 and I am very happy with my hieght and all you tall guys who cry about there bench being weaker then short guys because your arms are longer are cry babies I have a friend who is 6 foot and my arms are just as long as his its your genetics that your crying about work hard and quit crying

you are either very stupid/uneducated, or you droped a dumbell on your head while doing your heaviest press. short stocky fucks are just another face in the crowed, taller guyz will always get the better looking chick
 
it also has to do with the width of the bench and your shoulders. some gyms don't even have the extra wide benches, they only have those clown ass space saving pieces of shit. i'm 6'2" with wide shoulders and can lift a notable difference when my shoulders have more support.

..........but i don't hate short people.
 
So much hating on this thread. Tall or short, so what? We're all in the same game here. Saying "a short guy is just another face in the crowd," or "short guys don't get any chicks," or whatever is stupid. It's pretty pathetic to put someone down in order to bring yourself up. If some of you are that insecure, then hey, have at it.

im 6"5" 220 and it pisses me off when my 5"8" 160 friend benches the same or more than e most of the time, short arms must be nice on the bench but i guess after a couple more years in the gym and when i get to be 260 it pay off in the long run :D

I am sure your girl is so fine and short guys aren't just another face in the crowd there the ones that take the trophies home
 
I agree with hungry1, its pretty sad when you have to cut the short guys down to make yourself look better, thats strange all my tall friends I 've trained with over the years wouldn't dare tell me I'm just another face in the crowd or even attempt to show disrespect or say they get the better looking women because they know some of the very pretty women that i dated and the very beautiful lady that i'm now married to, and for as getting noticed I'm on my 3rd marriage and alot of other ladies in between I got noticed to much this bodybuilding made me to noticed and in trouble. comments like this is why this board is going down it causes hatred between short and tall people like a racial comment would. We are all people that are trying to build and look the best we can be and we short people are no less than you tall people there are some things we can do that yall cant and some things that yall can do that we cant so chill on the short comments and lets all get along.

5'11 is not short, and is taller then great majority of women, now if you were 5'5 then it would be a different story

well only the trophies with beer-gogles
 
I am tall and can relate. Go and view my post about being broad shouldered and the weakness it creates in chest exercises.

Shorter guys can go to the gym, put on 25lbs and look awesome. Taller people (those over 6 foot perhaps) often start out looking gangly. This means we're often naturally lanky and out of proportion.

The up side to this is that a taller, longer boned body, when well developed and in proportion, can often look better aesthetically than short bodies look. It's easier to get a good body when you're shorter. But for a "supremo" body, tall, long boned guys can get that ultimate look, even though it is harder.

Shorter guys often look gorilla-like when carrying lots of muscle whereas tall, longer boned people can carry a huge amount of muscle mass and continue to maintain an athletic look. The shorter pro BBers look impressive, but not attractive.

In short I am saying that it is harder for tall guys to get that ultimate look, but the result is the best (IMHO) when they finally achieve it.

my 2 cents.

.......know what your saying.....

I'm tired of hearing all of you 6ft 3inch morons complaining. Your size has nothing to do with your height. YOUR GENETIC BUILD DOES. Your either ectomorphic, endomorphic, or mesomorphic. My training partner is 6 feet 3inches tall at 280lbs, 8% bodyfat, and just earned his pro-card..... so whats up with him man?? Furthermore, I just ran into someone I have not seen for ten years. He was no different. 5' 6" tall and 122lbs.... he is very ectomorphic, and I dont think he will ever be putting on size like your bitching about. Now I'm not sure if the ratio of short people being mesomorphic is higher than tall people, but believe me friend, I have seen 5'6" - 5'9" people who have not been able to put on size just like your complaining about.

ECTOMORPHIC- Long arms, low bodyfat, small waist line, (thin build)

MESOMORPHIC- Muscular build, athletic, relatively low body fat, but slightly higher than the ectomorph. Shorter limbs. Thick muscle bellies. (THIS IS THE BUILD I THINK YOU ARE JEALOUS OF)

Endomorphic- High body fat, hyper flexible, Lower body is thicker than upper body. (Typical round build), non athletic.... but can train to be

combinations of the builds are possible, but what I am saying here is get it right. I'm a 5' 9" ectomorph who did'nt even get any recognition for my lifting until 7 year in! I worked very hard to achieve my goals and I think it is unfair to say because someone is short is the reason they are muscular. HOw about good genetics?? I mean look at all your top pros-- a lot of them are pretty tall guys.
 
I used to be a short man hater but, once you put on some mass you will be glad that you are tall. Everyone see's me as being much bigger than I believe that I actually am. I'm 6'5" 245 about 10-11%BF However, I want to compete next year & unless I can get up to 270-280 then cut down I will not step on stage. I guess it's a self image thing but, I am in no way happy with my mass yet. The disadvantage to being tall is, I have to have 21" arms to look as thick as a shorter guy with 17's. That's o.k. short fellas, no matter how thick you look, we tall guys have you beat on the measurements. I can stand in front of you & block you out with a lat spread!:D The caloric intake sux, I am at over 5000 calories & am having a hard time trying to figure out how to take in more quality calories. I feel like I'm eating non-stop except for when I'm sleeping. I forget what it feels like to be hungry. I do not care about how heavy someone goes, that is an ego thang but, I can push more weight than most so, I'm happy w/that. I've been as high as 335 on incline, I'm currently at 315. You might win your weight class but, when I get to the top of my game you wont beat me in the overall!:fro:

Karma to all!
 
I need to apologise. I seem to have presented my point of view in a way that has offended some people.

My post (3 before this one) is not meant to imply that shorter people can't have good bodies. In fact I think what I was saying in that post (in a garbled sort of way) is that shorter people frequently do have the better bodies.

My refernce to taller people with longer bones having "supremo" physiques was merely a matter of my opnion. I believe I did say this. It is my perspective that when you find someone tall with long bones who has developed their bodies in proportion that IN MY OPINION these bodies look the best.

For those of you who sent me negative karma please sign your karma post so that I can respond and clarify any misunderstandings in future.

hansNZ thanks for the apology to short guys and you have your own opinion, some women like short men and some like tall some it dosn't matter, i myself am not attracted to taller women because they don't seem to have that athletic look that turns me on and I have had tall women that wanted to date me and i did but wasn't impressed at all even though they had pretty faces, now you give me one of those 5'5-5'6 babes with them nice little round muscular seats and nice muscle tone basicly BUILT LIKE A BRICK HOUSE and a pretty face with lonnnng blonde or black hair with a good heart and good tan and pretty eyes and I'm satisfied.You tall guys can have all the rest I don't want them lol. I remember a few years ago before i got married again ,me and about 15 other bros from the gym met at the beach after awhile this pretty babe passed by and built like a BRICK HOUSE and all the bros were trying to hit on her yes them tall guys with the long muscular look that get all the pretty babes tried, but this little runt at 5'6 1/2 to be exact 203 lbs with the cold black hair & green eyes and dark complextion was the one she walked off with and there mouth dropped watching us leave that was so funny and to hear some make comments like this is really funny and some are just plain STUPID.
