Danny Padilla is probably my favourite BBer. The guy had amazing conditioning and looked absolutely fantastic.
arent most BBers 5’6 - 5’8?
suprised no one mentioned tiny Lee Priest, he’s like friggin 5’2 on his tippy toes =)
its actually a nice benefit to be 5’7 haha

Yeah, he’s impressive in person. He just started training legs again after taking a year off from them to bring up his upper body.

DAYUM! Gerdy is on fire! Lee Priest came to find immediately. Id like to meet the dood one day. [/quote]
I met Lee two years ago at the Arnold, he was just randomly walking around the expo, and nobody was talking to him, I went over and introduced myself, and we talked for a good 10 minutes, he even stayed put when I went to go find my dad so he could take a picture.
Hands down the nicest guy in the industry i’ve ever met in person.

Pretty sure that pic of Franco is photoshopped. I think it was the series of pics that showed what the old school guys would like like today.
Who’s that Israeli guy that CT is training now? that guy is like 5’4" and a monster.

You would be wrong. That pic is fairly widespread and has been in several mags over the years, even before there was an internet.
I had the opportunity to speak with Dave Henry after the 2007 Olympia in the Airport. He’s a really cool guy and extremely driven…You’d think he would be pigging out after the show, nope he stayed strong because he wanted to look his best for his guest appearances.
Class Act!

I know this originally called for BBs, but are there any big-time powerlifters under 5’6"?
No offense to short guys, but when ever I see a short guy in the gym who is much buffer then me I am not envious…I think I’d like to be as developed as that guy, but not if I had to be short too…I’m 6’ so if my mass was on a 5’6" guy it would look pretty impressive too…
