[hart1em]

6'5" 236lbs and still gaining! Love being tall and well built.

[droskie20]

I'm a 6 foot 3 and a half inch fat boy trying to be a body builder

[DUIgetr]

6'5" and 370 lbs. I was a powerlifter for several years. 20 knee operations (including both knees replaced) later I am now a meathead going for size but being cut and defined.

[ALEXH-]

6'4 Checking in!

What's up guys!

[kyle1922]

6'3 245 and trying hard to get to a lean and cut 205 than working up from there with a end goal years down the line of 245 and single digit body fat

[sickrykes]

6'2" my arm span is 6'6" :S trying to feel them out, is proving to be a mission!

[sickrykes]

I'm 6ft 1 barefoot.

I have a 6ft 7 wingspan...

lol.

Am I screwed lol?

I'm basically the same 6'2" arm span 6'6". So hard to fill out

[mattward1979]

6'4" before I gained loads of weight and had spinal surgery. so 6'3" as of now. 220lb, on what seems like an endless cut... My noob gains were impressive though, so just taking it slow making sure my back doesn't blow out again

[JSClen]

6'3 and a half, 36, 281, trying to lose my Fat F*** status

[ameindel]

6'3" here with long arms/legs. Squat, bench, mil press are the bane exercises of my existence (since I have to move the weight a mile).

[milk021]

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.

Story of my life. I'm 6'6" and it seems like the bigger the size the baggier it is.

[Robcook32]

it's funny how 6'4 in bodybuilding is gigantic. in any other sport we'd just be above average

[Robcook32]

same here. i'm 6'4 as well. shirts only get wider, not longer. I'm thick enough to fit an xl, but im not a fat ass like they shape the shirts

I know that feel.
BRB, our rom's are about 2.5x's someone elses.
BRB, doing Mil press and touching the ceiling crew.

Over the years I learned to take advantage of our lengthy ROM with TUT (time under tension)

Larges are too tight in the upper body area but loose in the stomach.
XL's I don't even look like I lift.
What do?

You know it. I've had to use every powerlifting technique to get to even moderately respectable poundage on the bench (wide grip, retracting shoulder blades tight tight tight and arching like a mofo).

Don't feel bad. When I wear a tee I don't even look like I lift either. In fact, at 182 lbs I look like a skinny piece of s**t in an XL. rrrrrrrrr

[manypoint]

6'2" 220lbs 9.5% bf checking in

[Ericyantis13]

6'6'' here. I have plenty of huge friends that are swole/yoked/ripped/etc... They said they would trade me bodies in a heartbeat. You cant build height but anyone can build muscle!

[Kempsterr]

6"3 here, I agree t shirts are a biatch! XL is baggy, and can't fit my shoulders in a Large. As for suits, its bespoke every time, can't ever get enough arm length!

I'm glad i found this thread, after years of reasoning with training buddies that due to levers it's harder for me to lift heavy! It always sounds like a lame excuse!

At the end of the day, most guys would kill to be over 6 foot! Lets make the most of our natural advantage!

Go hard, or go home.

[YBG613]

1.86 meters tall. 6'1" right?

[Antonylr]

I am not too sure exactly of the conversion, I am 187cm.. which I guess puts me at about 6.2 or 6.3 ft. It is not unusual for Guys to be my height here in South Africa, Although I am reasonably taller than most.

[ishand]

6'6 crew checking in.
But girls don't seem to likr my height.
And in india I am much taller than others.

[westley1987]

6'2" here. I would not say I'm a bodybuilder.. I'm currently losing weight and am just now getting into weights..

I know SA isn't Europe but when I visited places like Denmark and such I felt right at home.
90% of everyone was 6 foot plus.

Try being a Chinese 6'3 dude visiting Japan and China.
BRB, Are you a professional basketball player

But chicks here in California dig taller dudes because they can wear them 6 inch heels and still be shorter than me.

I believe the average guy here is around 5'10 5'11 but yip often see 6ft + guys but above 6.6 is not common at all here. (unless they pro ruby players)

[iLRO]

6ft 1 =)

[damian2611]

[JohnSmeton]

6ft2 here. 3 and 4 with shoes on. Lot of my guy friends say im taller and they claim 6ft2 when they are like 6 ft- something I find funny is when guys on there faceboo profile list height as 6 ft when they are clearly 5ft10 or even 5-9, I know a guy in my gym that does this and it makes me laugh at him when i see him

[tCeezy]

Girl: How tall are you?
Guy: Oh... I'm almost 6'3

Brb, I walk near him to grab some weights and dude wasn't even up to my shoulders.
Strong WTF!




Oh and have you guys ever seen someone your own height or even taller up close and you're like WTF AM I REALLY THAT TALL?

I was checking out of a New York City hotel and carefully going over a complicated bill not paying attention to anything around me. When I finished, I turned around and everyone in the lobby towered over me by 4 inches or more. I went weak at the knees and felt like I was moved into another dimension. Turned out it was a basketball convention checking in. I was one of the shortest in the room. Gave me a new perspective.
