    Is this a real question? Obviously the one weighing more has more mass. Assuming bf is equal. Just tall doesn't make you big

    Being tall is a definite minus for a power lifter. The strongest men I know are all under 6 ft. The toughest divisions to win are the lighter ones. Regards John

    This.

    238 at 6'5" is maybe a little above average. That's not a lot of mass for that height.

    In the end id rather be tall like I am. I know I say all the time to all my gym buds "damn if I was only 5f 9 like yall were I could compete."

    6"5 is a way beyond average height, im a legit 6"2 and rarely see anyone taller than me, thers a few 6"3 guys around but after that statistics really drop down. Lou F. was 6 '5 and he still looked great I thought Arnold being 6"2 was obviously 7x O. But now you very rarely see a guy win a show over 6".

    To answer your question, as far as size goes I think the guy that's 6'1 would beat him in a show considering they are the same BF.

    Big to me is muscle mass. At 6'5, you'd need to outweigh a 6'1 guy by 40lbs to be equal. And at that point i would consider the 6'5 guy bigger. Since they have the same lbm, and he has height advantage. But being taller and lighter, he's def the smaller guy
