if 5'10 is short then what the hell am i at 5'7?

Im 5' 10 and I always thought I was kinda short, but I always get that I didn't realize you were that tall when people are right beside me. I'm about 215 so these dudes carrying 250 at 5'10, Im sure look shorter than they are to people from a distance.

you photograph taller..i was guessing 6-1.

Naw, I wish I was 6'1", but I ain't but 5'10". I looked taller at about 195, I have very small joints and my waist is small, but at 215 I honestly look like I have shrunken in height. Im prolly pushing 6' with my shoes on. I was always listed when I played ball @ 6', but no shoes Im a 5 10'er.

Its the same as the fat girl that puts down the hot blonde because she's so much skinnier and prettier.

Yea its a bitch to put weight on thou. I can cut up over nite, but hell adding a pound is like pulling teeth. Although I have add 35 in a year, without my BF going up at all, but as I have said my body is super friendly to AAS. I have always stayed right around 8% BF or less and my diet is shit. I guess thats just God given genetics. Everybody always wants what somebody else has thou, big guys wanna be ripped and small guys wanna be huge, we are never satisfied.

Nope...then I would be more worried about being called fat!

I want to say ditto about looking shorter the bigger you get, it's a ratio thing. Some say it's the other way around, who knows. I'm 6'2", I'd have to weigh 280 to look as big as you- according to the standard ancedotal calculations. A buddy of mine is 6'7" with scoliosis (so, he slumps and with a straight spine would be 6'9" or so) and has a hell of a time looking bigger. When we started training together he weighed 185 lbs which was bone thin for a guy his height. He's about 220 now and still looks skinny, now that's rough! lol. He's a good dude and busts his ass, and it makes me feel like my ectomorphic ass has it easy!

I bought a pair of Doc Martin boots last year, workboot style. I'd never tried on a shoe that fit me so damned well, so I had to buy them. They're great boots. But, since I have a fallen arch and bad knees as a result, I put in a special arch support insole which added a bit to the already 2" or so heel on those things. When I wear them people think I'm 6'4" or 6'5" easy! lol. Then, when I wear sandals everyone thinks I shrink in summer!
