what about tall and powerful????....ronnie

I'm 6'3. I love it. I just hate the fact that I have to gain 20 lbs to look a little bigger where as some one shorter can gain only 10 lbs and look huge. I guess with long arms and long legs there's room for more muscle.

Interesting thread to say the least, it's funny how everyone has their own desires on height and weight.

I am 5'11 at 20 yrs of age, ppl say I have grown taller in the past years so Im gonna go for being a lil taller say 6'1 and then being at 180-190, which I think is perfect for looking like a lean machine. On the other hand, my younger bro is 14 and he's 6'4 so I'm hoping he shall start working out soon or play ball so his height doesnt go to waste

nature of the beast : tall and strong. I am 5-8 (5-9 on a tall day) and would like at least 6'. Its just a natural thing, tall/big gets the respect, and women... not to say others dont, its just a little easier... IMO anyway.

you guys think that 5 8 is short, man im 5 2, you wouldnt believe it!

**Mighty Joe** · 08-05-2005, 06:47 PM

6'2" and always wanted to be 6'3" go figure! But I know some tough Mofo's that were sub 5'9".

Im 5' 8" and only 19. Im probably done growing and if i am i have accepted my height. I think being shorter makes it seem like you have more muscle so id say short and powerful

The thing is when your 6.0 feet+ You will never look Powerful.Your muscle bellies are just too long.

Im 5.11(Coleman Height)
And i think its perfect Height because you can build a powerful strong look.
And yet still seen as a tall guy.
I got some friends who are 6.2 When im near them i dwarf them even if they are 225.
They Can seem to get that "powerful" look.
Just look at gunter he's 6.1 305 lbs and at the 04 olympia Ronnie totally destroy him.

But i must say that below 5.10 it's starting to be short.
6.0 Feet is perfect But a little on the tall side.
i would take Coleman Build over say Gunter or Quincy tailor ANY DAY.

Even A 300lbs Dorian Yates at 5.10.
