I'm aiming to compete in 2011 if all goes well here in Texas in the REAL Lonestar comp. The main thing I've noticed about a lot of the natural competitors is that most are between 5'8" and 5'11". Are there any people above 6'1" that compete successfully? Does it just take longer to develop or is it just difficult to add substantial mass with that height?

"I don't believe in following any one training style. I couldn't tell what DC or H.I.T. or FST-7 entail. I have no clue and really don't give a ****. I go to the gym to train hard. I don't need to follow a ****ing "program" to do that." - Evan Centopani

im around 6' 6'1 and yes it does take longer but you can do well. When i as natural for my first show i placed 5th in an open class and most people were 5'10 and under. the biggest thing for me was finding my body positioing on certain exercises because my limbs were longer it was difficult. once i got that down combined with a good diet everything started to flow.
You know your a bodybuilder when you stop seeing food and start seeing numbers.
Mass impresses people but conditioning wins competitions.
The difference between me and you is im willing to push it till it breaks and you only push it till it aches.
Meal after meal. Rep after rep. All the while tired and stuffed. Why do i do this? So that one day i can look in the mirror and see something satisfying and complete. All the while knowing i will never be satisfied nor complete.
