Tall bodybuilders unite!

[BIGSCOTTISH]

While rare, any tall (over 6') bodybuilders out there? I met Noah Steere at the Arnold Expo a few years ago---was nice to look someone in the eye for once.

Hell YEAH! About time a thread is dedicated to the Tall Bodybuilder. Most shows I compete in the competitors that I compete again weigh the same as me but need a booster seat to drive. ****ers! FYI.... I dislike short bodybuilders very much. Freaking Midgets!

[BIGSCOTTISH]

maybe instead of being so greedy you share some of your height around. ill be happy with 2-3" thanks.

Grab your Booster Seat and exit the forum or could you not see over your computer desk to read that it is for TALL Bodybuilders!!!!

[BIGSCOTTISH]

I'm 6' 4" here.

It gets discouraging sometimes when trying to add weight on arm exercises, these long arms make me work harder.

Who else has a hard time finding shirts that are long enough and not baggy. It seems big and tall stores emphasis the BIG part.

All I an do is agree with you on all accounts. I am sure you experience it even more with 2" on me. I wish I had the answer as well. Clothes are a bitch to get, all for Fat people and not for the tall and fit. Maybe that is the answer. Open a Tall and Bodybuilder big store. You know HotBodz? The supposed bodybuilders clothes. I can't get any of their ****e to fit right!

The best thing about being tall is the increase of chicks you get from it. You never hear a woman say they LLLOVVVE them some short ass guys LMAO! The only problem with being tall is the dirty looks you get from these short little power house dudes that are hating cuz they got a size complex x.x;; Always the first to get sized up, and always the first to get socked for no reason in jail for somone to gain rep points lol

If I had a nickel for every short man who started crap with me at a bar or club because of his short man syndrome. I would be a rich man. Not to mention having a boss who is shorter than you causing you seriou grief! I really have issued an all out war on short bodybuilders! Freaking booster seat bodybuilders is what I call them. The muscle we tall bodybuilders put on is 10 times harder to put on then the shorties!

In on this thread, 2xl/3xl american apparel t shirts fit well

[pKiefer]

Dont dry your shirts, hang them up. Polos from old navy seem to fit good on the length.

To be honest even 6' is tall for a bodybuilder not too many of them roll around at that height. I'm cool with my height, and love to pop on a pair of heals on occasion including bbing shows, and sometimes the looks i get r not so positive... :S

[Kambra]

[ernest.true]

sir you look great

[chevyguy2012]

6'1.5" here

[armyworrell]

we dont understand manlet talk in this thread please exit the thread in a timely manner lol.

Ye chin ups are a bitch being tall, one guy i work out with is 5ft5 he does about 15 proper chin ups whereas i can do 12. I keep telling him mines more impressive cos i have to go further down and lift myself all the way up again with my long ass arms. His chinups are like half or the effort i have to put in. Still though once we fill out our bodies will look much better

That's no excuse, I'm 6'4'' and do over 20 chinups.

[Mangakahia]

Damn I though I wrote this lol....6'4" here, shirts are the worst thing for me to find clothing wise.

I also used to get real discouraged with my arms with the same problem.

Stick with it! "noob gains" are the best!

So are you one of those tall girls who will NEVER wear heels or have you embraced your "inner amazon"?

Wowza! Been a while since I was on here but I'm slugging away, noob gains are rocking my world, 250 deadlift FTW! Heels depend on the mood, the first and only guy I ever dated for two years (I'm academically driven. XD) was slightly shorter than me, so I kept heels to a minimum. I have a tall family though and will rock the stilettos when the urge hits me now.
