Tall guys are you jealous of shorter guys / short guys are you jealous of tall guys?

[BigBadBootyDaddy29]

To answer the post, I'm a little over 5'11"....not short, not tall, could be a lot worse, so I'm not complaining. I am about 260-265, been as high as 270. Most people think they are taller than they are, I am always over 5'11" barfoot, measured properly, I see guys say they're 5'11" and I can see clear over the top of their head....people just either have no clue or were never measured properly.......Most people guess I am 6'1" or 6'2" when they see me, but I'm not, not even close.

As far as bodyweight goes, it is all relative.....take a guy 5'11" and another 6'4" with the same density, and look. The 5'11" guy will be about 270, the 6'4" guy about 320, they both eat just as much, train just as hard, work for it just as hard, but it is relative to their height, if that makes sense. So, shorter guys don't necessarily have an easier time packing on mass, height and mass gaining ability are 2 totally separate things, I have seen 6 footers as wide as a barn, and guys 5'4" who can't gain an ounce....a lot of taller guys who are sticks will use the height thing as an excuse, when it is no excuse.

I am just thankful I turned out the way I did, I could always wish for more height , but I look at this, I have cousins that are 6'4" and 6'6", and they can't walk and chew gum at the same time, I wouldnt wanna swap gifts and weaknesses with them......

And CoolColJ, I've seen your pics, you look A LOT and I mean A LOT better than Barkley ever did, don't sell yourrself short.

I dream of being 6'4" and built like Larry Johnson and Charles Barkley

Doesn't everybody?
And with their weight, they were good leapers.
At 6'5" 230, with about 17% body fat, I can barely dunk.

Without reading any of the replies (on purpose), why would ANY tall guy this side of Yao be jealous of a short guy

I'd kill just about anybody to gain 3 inches (6' now)

It is quite easy to see Priest is an AAS poster boy, despite his claims. For one, I have seen posters of him with gyno......an amp of Primo and 100mg of Deca a week at contest prep time won't distort your nips like that......not flaming Priest, but get real, man, he is an AAS Poster boy. Lee has everything it takes, and AAS are only part of why he is where he is.....but I am gonna go out and call bullshit when I read claims of his that he only uses mild doses of low androgenic steroids.....cause when Twin Lab was sponsoring him, in all of those adds, he was definitely sporting a nice case of gyno, and it doesn'ttake an eagle eye to see.

I agree that he uses AAS and being learned in their application, I would definitely agree with him being *a* posterboy for AAS use.

I don't believe his dosage claims, or anything else, really.

That said, why would he be *the* posterboy, relative to others, and what does this status have to do with anything anyway?

It doesn't have to do with the thread, Alucard. If you read the whole thread you'd see some comments on it, and an earlier post which started it saying something like Priest probably didn't have to take as much gear as Lou Ferrigno because he is shorter and had an easier time filling out his frame......another post after that disagreed.....I was adding my .02 that Lee Priest's cycles would make Ferrigno blush, Big Lou probably took less gear in hs prime than 90% of the anabolic board. Anyway, it is off topic, I feel height and your body type (ectomorph, endomorph, mesomorph, or any combination of the 3) have nothing to do with each other. Some guys are tall and can build size easy, some are short and grow easy, some are tall sticks, some are short sticks.

The most important factors in a person's ability to put on muscular size and density is their body type, and their metabolism, I honestly feel height plays zero role. As far as athletics go, height is an issue, but I think height has nothing to do with a person's status as a hardgainer or not. Body weight is all relative to height, it is JUST as hard for a 5'10" guy to hit 250 as it is for a 6'3" guy to hit 300......the 6'3" guy at 250 would look just like the 5'10" guy at 200, what I am saying is 200 at 5'10 is the same as 250 at 6'3"....it is all relative.

WTF is everyone picking my post apart for.....how's this I think Lee Preist IS A FUCKING JOKE...that is my opinion, I can have it if I want. I have seen him in person he looks ridiculous, so if you guys want to flame me because you are offended by my opinions then go ahead this whole thread is officially retarded.

Calm down Iron, all I was doing is asking how you know his dosage claims are bullshit, and BigBadBootyDaddy29 did a good job of explaining why.
