I want to be tall, but wanting doesn't make it happen. I always wanted to be 6ft 2inches after watching Scarlet describe Duke to the slave girl as a kid in 1983. You know that scene in the MASS Device serries when Scarlet getst thown in the Dungeon...
In reality, I'm about 5 foot 9 & half inches tall bear foot. I wear size 11 steel toe boots, and I'm 6 feet tall when I wear them. I used to have a bit of an issue about hieght, but I'm over that now... I'm one of those guys who can say they're "Big-Boned" and its actualy true!! ...I wear a size 14 1/2 wedding ring, and I have a barrel chest. My wingspan is about 6 foot one inch, and most of my hieght is in my upper body. If my legs were just 2 inches longer, I would have the proportions they talk about in health class. You know where you learn hieght and wingspan should be equal... My inseem is only about 29 inches... ...Fortunately having "Big Bones" & a barrel chest keeps me in a size 38 jeans even though I wiegh 250 lbs. When I'm working out consistently, I can max out my bench press at 254 lbs. but keeping my work out schedule is difficult. I usualy make pretty fast progress when I get tough on myself, but in 2009 I was slacking... ...I'm trying to get back down to 200 lbs. & a size 34 jeans, but its hard not to eat my wife's great cooking. Then; I'm also addicted to pizza... So before I get too far off topic, Anyone else always want to break the 6 foot barrier? Last edited by IronMan76; 03-19-2010 at 12:26 AM.. |

I'm 6'4'' and proportioned like a super hero. not trying to rub it in your face but really it'll be confidence that sells you. don't worry about you can't change. you're a tanker and a friends to many people. height won't change who you are.

I got over most of my wanting to be taller, when I realized that I will never be a great basketball player... I'm built more like a professional wrestler than a gazzelle. Tankers are the best JOE fans! |

I'm 6'2 250lbs. and have been over 6 ft. tall since I was 12. I can tell you that as a 12 year old it was terrible. I had to shop for clothes and shoes in the men;s section (in the 80's mind you), and compared to my peers, I looked like a damn brontosauraus! It wasn't until I got into sports that it actually paid off being one of the big kids.
People usually think I'm taller than I am. I think it's all about how you carry yourself as opposed to stats. Last edited by swafus; 03-19-2010 at 12:33 AM.. |

How is this for Irony:
I was average hieght all though grade school. I was also supper skinny, like Bruce Lee. I was always the thinnest kid in school. When I hit 13 I shot up 5 inches in one summer, and got alot bigger. I wasn't toned like Bruce Lee, but I was big like that chinese guy Bolo. I think thats his name anyway... you know who I mean... |
