Is this due to some of you guys doing juice at young ages or because of genetics or just from starting to lift weights early? It seems everyone here is either 5'6"-5'8" or 6'2"+. As for the average male American height being 5'10"-5'11", it doesn't seem like many of us fit that range in this forum. BTW, I'm 5'11"- wish I had me that extra inch     | ||

You hit it on the head for me, bro, I'm 5'7", about 180-190 offseason, 150-160 contest...up 35 pounds in the first 5 weeks of my first cycle @ 19 years old, been lifting weights for about 4-5 years, bodybuilding for about 2...INTERESTING!! I'd like to see how many bros played football in high school like me and only squated, benched, and curled as much weight as they could with sh*tty form?? ------------------ | ||

I'M 6'2 and started training in my teens. I didnt learn what real intense training until I saw an old friend walk into my gym when I was 21. The bastard was a stick in HS and was a fucking monster coming in at 50-60lbs heavier. BTW my dad is 5'7,mom is 5'1 (if that),and my older brother is 5'9 and about 170-175. I'm the damn milkmans kid or something. ------------------ | ||

Maybe the reason most people on the board are between 5'6"-5'8" is because they cannot grow taller, so they just grow wider. It makes sense to me. Added mass gives the illusion of height. Just a theory. | ||

Yep, another of the 5'5" "Little Big Men." Leverage on compound movements Rules! alot of lifters are short because it is an athletic pusuit where hight is not a disadvantage. I still wanna be able to dunk though.... | ||

I'm 5'6" and my dad and little bro are the same and my mom is 5'3" So it's not the training or the gear just the genes. It's easy for me to look bulky. At 196lbs I look like I weigh alot more than I really do. Big arms and big legs is an advantage of being short. Although lots of girls prefer taller guys! Oh well I get by The ideal height for Bodybuilding is 5'10 in my opinion (YATES) ------------------ [This message has been edited by DREXX (edited November 06, 2000).] | ||

5'11" 240 Lbs down from 250 Bigger is better and it's not the height that counts! For some reason I think it's easier for us shorter dudes to pack on mass. ------------------ | ||

32 years young 6'1" 240lbs 12% BF Been lifting on and off for about 12 years. I strongly disagree with anyone under 20 hitting the AS, You guys are definately still maturing physically and your male muscle has not fully developed. Wait a few years and you'll be much happier with the results. Not to mention you have enough pressure and testosterone for all of us, at that age. I wouldn't play with the AS until the bone plates close and you fill out naturally. Just a word to the wise, some of the 14-16 year old guys on this board are playing with fire and should be told to wait!!!!!! | ||
