I have seen a lot of pros at various pro shows and the thing that amazed me the most is how short they are - most guys listed as 5’6 are really 5’4, sometime 5’5 but really, the average pro IS NOT tall at all. Same thing with the weight… don’t even think about it, it’s all about the looks.
I might get flamed for this, but I’ve noticed the same thing and have wondered why this is the case. Is it because smaller guys need less muscle mass to appear big? Maybe taller guys gravitate towards sports where height is important (basketball)? Or maybe they choose bodybuilding because they felt a need to compensate for their short stature? Maybe a combination of both?
I’m 5’7", and to be honest, one reason for dedicating myself to the iron is because I want to look big, and since I ain’t getting any taller, my only option is to get wider.
Why do you wanna be taller? just generally interested, im 5’6.
3 main reasons (off the top of my head):
-sports,
-social life, and
-professional life
No explanation required for sports. From a social and professional aspect, I feel like being tall is a huge plus. You get more respect in the business world (consciously or subconsciously), and you stand out when you go out. I hate hearing girls my height say that they’d only date someone taller than them.
In other words, tallness seems to be a status thing IMO.[/quote]
Ok cool, just found it interesting, cheers.
(to the girls the same height as you only wanting to date guys taller than themselves… stupid cunts, ahahahah!!!)
