Can a very tall guy be mr olympia

[JOSEF RAKICH]

No if you are taller than 5'10 you can't win the Olympia.

One does not simply stare into the abyss.

I imagine his mind to look something like this

[adamrochester]

what you tryin to say ?

Mr. Olmypia winners height average is 5 Ft 9". Same goes for Arnold Classic and Night Of Champions.

I think there is a reason for that.

Tall guys dont look symettrical in my opinion. Loui Ferigno and Greg Kovacs look terrible in stage. Especially Kovacs.

Best Bodybuilders in my opinion is, Flex Wheeler and Frank Zane. They are both 5 Ft 9" and have small bones.

Someone has posted Nathan Jones. He is about 6 Ft 10" and 360 Lbs.

But if he wants to compete in Mr.Olmypia, and wants to attain top Pro Bodybuilder proportions and symmetry, he should have more than that.

Assuming that Ronnie Coleman is 5 Ft 10" and 295 Lbs in contest , 330 Lbs Off Season.

6 Ft 10" Nathan Jones has to be 410 Lbs in contest shape. ( And 475 Lbs Off Season )

( 1.78x1.78= 3.17. Ronnie's off Season is 295 Lbs=135 Kg. 135:3.17 gives a Bmi of 42.

Nathan has to have Bmi of 42 in order to have same proportions of Ronnie. But he does not have. Bmi of over 42 at 6 Ft 10" means 400 Lbs in contest shape as I said before.





410 Lbs in contest? Its impossible. I have never seen anything like that, Steroids and Tall guys avaliable since 1930's, but none of them has reached that kind of thing. İmpossible.

[miscing4life]

depends what you mean by tall. 6'1"-6'2" it's possible, but unlikely. 6'5"+, hell no. Arnold was the only bodybuilder in the 6'1/2" range to win the O. Guys like Dillett and Gunter came close, and now Wolf and Cedric are the only tall men on the field that have a hope in hell of winning.

In Today's standarts Arnold has to be 330 Lbs in contest weight in order to compete at that height.

Paul Dillett was not even close to Mr. Olympia as he was only had 285 Lbs contest weight.

lol bmi doesn't mean crap, Ronnie at 5'11" 245-295 lbs was Olympia, meaning he was all over the board. It's all about how you look, Dexter was 215-220 when he won in 08. Dillett could've been Mr.O if he had a better back and could pose better.

[CropDusterMan]

I think the really tall guys are at a disadvantage...to look good, we have to be talking heavyweight...and a guy who is 6'5" is going to have to weigh over 340+!
I'm still trying to imagine consuming the required protein...you need to be on an IV drip!

[Glenn Gould]

Gunter was fairly tall and he beat Ronnie Coleman.



But frankly, the Olympia is more like "the Lotto" of Bodybuilding. The list of super champions that never won the Olympia is long enough for us to say that. The real question you should be asking yourself is "can I become a bodybuilding champion"?

[SwolenBro]

All you can do is give it your all bro, I think it's possible for a 6 foot+ guy to become mr. olympia again but definately harder due to proportions.

[RockyTheKid]

Cedric McMillan is the only current "tall guy" who can win the O.

[flangmasterj]

I think I just heard ROMMY throw his crayons.

Well...some of us live in reality.

There is square cube law. You can be Mr. Olmypia.

But , Jay Cutler's Contest weight is 275 Lbs, Off Season 310 Lbs.

Ronnie Coleman's Contest weight 300 Lbs, Off Season 330 Lbs.

Assuming this, you have to weight %40 more at 6 Ft 5" to look PROPORTIONALLY. If you less than this, than you will look skinner.

Thats the problem for taller guys.

So at 6 Ft 5", you should be 385 Lbs Contest weight and 435 Lbs Off Season. Which is impossible.

Paul Dillett, Loui Ferigno, Ralf Moeller, Greg Kovacs, Toney Freeman etc. None of them were even close to 385 Lbs contest weight.

Thats the reason they look skinner than Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler, Dorian Yates or Nasser EL Sonbaty.

Their Contest and Off Season weight are same as Ronnie or Jay Cutler, I think the reason behind this is their leverage is bad.

Since their leverage is bad , they cant push more weight and they cant gain muscle mass easily.

Sure , those guys were huge, but not huge as Cutler or Ronnie. Not even close.

There 4 guys under 5 Ft 7" won Mr. Olympia.

But none of the guys over 6 Ft 2" Won Mr. Olmypia.

You cant show me a 6 Ft 5" person won Mr. Olmypia.

Loui Ferigno was very close, but still, could not won.

[Wector]

Gunter never beat Ronnie Coleman.

They weight same , but Ronnie is 5 Ft 10" and Gunter 6 Ft 1", so Ronnie looked bigger and fuller.

[pyrolee]

If you have the muscle bellies and proportions...sure...but most taller individuals have sh*t structure/genetics for bbing.

[RoroCwalker]

Gunter never beat Ronnie Coleman.

They weight same , but Ronnie is 5 Ft 10" and Gunter 6 Ft 1", so Ronnie looked bigger and fuller.

Gunter beat Ronnie at the SOS 2002.

[Screwtape]

This is what 6'9" and 425lbs looks like, so a very tall guy has to have serious mass to fill out.
