5"10 cant compete?

[Roc86]

Arnold is 6'2... hes old now man, hes shrunk ... this isnt pro wrestling, they dont exagerate height, watch pumping iron, buy his book, look everywhere except where you saw this Arnie is 6'2.

yeah im 6'3 and its very hard to add on mass....ive been training my legs hard now for a while and they are still skinny it suxs

 

[bigtasty25]

im about 5'9...when i was lighter/younger i was told i was too tall for bodybuilding,lanky..but now that im finally filling my frame out a little, at 195 and 7-8% i look a tad shorter =0)

toney freeman is what like 6'3? i saw him 2 weekends ago at the NPC anna level..guy looked amazing, and filled out. But like the above said, 5'8"-5'10" is perfect for bb;ing

i was hoping one day in a few years 2 start competing, im around 5"10 but it just seems pointless when u got these 6"2 guys that dwarf u

Bro,
Have you actually been to a show and seen the height of most BBers? I think you're a little misguided here. Most pro's are extremely short. You're looking in the range of 5'6 - 6ft.

I always thought it was the other way around. Shorter the better as you pack in more mass.

well then arnold has shrunk 3 inches because he was shorter then me...and they do exagerate there stats!...i read all the muscle mags,flex,muscle and fitness,ironman,musclemag,musclemedia,etc,etc,and i have seen arnold stats listed in those mags at 3 different heights...i have also been to the hard rock cafe and they have a life size poster display of arnold,he was no where near 6'2...they even exagerate there bicep measurements.

dont get we wrong i think arnold was awsome!...one of the greatest upper bodies ever!...but he was not as big as most would think...he even competed under 200lbs one time during his prime.

arnold is 6 2. louie is 6 5, those are the only guys that looked awesome at that height imo. 5 10 is perfect brotha. 6 3 and a half over here and as you can see mass is an issue with my long frame. makavelli i'd kill a small village for your build so no complaining.

Competing is all in the mind and your genetics. You need both to win and compete. Everything else comes second.

arnold is commonly mis concepted as being like 6 5 or more cause he is so big. but he is 6 2

though in some cases this site is off, they get sued for fucking with shit usually. louie is 6 5 no doubt and he is not much taller than arnold. and i hate saying i met celebs cause its cheesey but they were both at a bbing show in vegas. louie bent a metal bar and took a pic for my boy jordan with it. he looks unreal btw. arnie is 6 2 for sure, no doubt about it. if he were 5 10 i would have been looking down on him, i'm 6 3 he was right near my height. this was way before he was governor, my first trip to vegas about 99 or 2000

5'10 is not too short for bbing. All those guys are short. I'm 6'4 and even when I et upwards of 270-280 lean, I still don't look that big! Go for it bro.


As for Arnold, he is 6'2. He is around 60, I'm sure he shrunk over the years. Watch pumping iron, he looks tall even standing next to Louie who IS 6'5 (one of the main reasons he got the hulk part). If Arnold was 5'10 or 5'11, he would have looked like a shrimp next to Lou.
