5"10 cant compete?

actually im glad im 5'6 (maybe 5'9-5'11 would be a bit better) coz at 180 i look pretty jacked, while i know some 6'3 guys that are 290+ and even though they tower over me, they dont look as jacked as i do and im sure in a bbing show they cant touch me.
 
"july 2002 us weekly magazine article"

while arnold sharzenegger's height has been believed to be 6ft2,he is actually 5ft10.but his spokespeople now publicly give his height as being 6ft even.assuming arnolds height was ever close to 6ft2,it is possible he may have shrunk slightly with age.although shrinking 4 inches seems to much for a man only in his fifties.

this was taken right out of us weekly magazine.he was interviewed by them in person.

flex magazine also lists arnold as 5ft10.

arnold is known for wearing cowboy boots with very large heals also, so think about it?

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

I want to enter my first Competition next spring and am still bulking and making great gains, but I am 6'6" and Louie is the only realguy I can use as a guide to how I would "want" to look.

he looked AMAZING in the early 90's when he made a comeback at the Mr.O at a ripped 300lbs.

I am SO self concious about my height and I just hope I have the SAC to compete.

You won't know unless you do it. The cool thing about BB is that you bring first what God gave you, and then what you did with it. You rarely get exactly "the look" that you want, or additionally "the look" the judges are looking for, on your first competition. Usually you do your first competition for yourself -- then once you've stripped away all that "first time" stuff, you start to focus on specific areas that might be lagging, improve & refine your diet & training from whatever you learned from the first time around, etc.
 
being very tall doesnt mean you cant compete...but it will be hard to fill out your frame like a guy 5ft10 or 5ft11...and the taller guys dont seem to have that full muscle belly look that thickness...but lou did it,he had great genetics for a tall man...quincy taylor is a tall huge guy,but put him next to ronnie or cutler and he cant compete at all with there physics...i wouldnt let it stop you though!...with hard work and determination you can accomplish your goal!
