i'm definitely an oddball. and a total anomaly for someone my height, i know!
my frame is unusually small and narrow. it would be considered unusual even if i were a foot shorter, but the fact that i'm so tall just emphasizes that fact.
because my frame is so small, my weight fills me out better than most imagine. although obviously i'm a scrawny guy.
22" waist (hips/butt not much bigger), 26" chest, 8" flexed upper arms, 13" thighs. VERY wiry and lanky!
it isn't surprising to me that you know guys 5'2" who are heavier than i am. most everyone i know weighs more than i do! although i'm taller than most everyone i know, too. :)
i'm an extremely small-framed, lanky/wiry built guy at 105 lbs. but the catch is that i'm 6'6"! so, if you're significantly shorter, balance may be an issue when trying to lift and press me overhead.
in my experience being lifted, the fact that i'm such a freaking featherweight does tend to compensate for the balance issue with my height/length. i've been pressed overhead (for reps) by guys as short as 5'4"... more than a foot difference between us!
but still... it DOES make it a more unique challenge. :)
