You can alter these #s but would you rather be 6'9" and only able to bench like 150 but still healthy or be 5'9" and be extremely buff? With 6'8", anyone will be strong to a point b/c of their size, but I mean who would want to mess around with someone that big? It's like asking if you wanted to be Lebron James with 1/4 of his strength or Nate Robinson on steroids.

I don't care about strength, and I'd rather be tall and weak because I would look much better.

I wouldn't really care either way... though I wouldn't want to be in the bottom or top 25th percentile.

Short and strong, so I can play as a dwarf in some sort of Epic LOTR style movie. Except it has to be a movie whose story involves the dwarf kicking evil's ass and being the main hero and getting the girl at the end 8)

Both of those choices would pretty much be the same to me considering the fact that I'm only about 5'7" and I'm weak, but not super weak. Besides, I like how my hands and feet are small and I don't think being tall or strong would really do any justice for me.

Well the first thing people see is how tall you are. People might say your face, but the eye will always take the whole figure as a whole first before it locates the face, so I'd rather be tall.

I'm 6'1, I want to get as strong as I possibly can while keeping speed and flexibility. I don't really think of height unless they're huge. I focus on ki.

I'm 68 inches tall, with shoes on. So that's 5"8. And I'm very strong. The only thing that I would like to change is to be much taller, atleast 6"7.

Isn't that because the heart has to work a lot harder to pump blood to a much bigger body? If you exercise the heart(the most important muscle in the body) enough, then you could live a very happy long life. Did you also know there's a higher suicidal rate with people who are shorter?

I'm only 5'5", so I wouldn't mind being tall and weak. At least you could work out then if you really cared.

My height has never really been a sticking point for me though, I've never been bothered by anybody, and I go to a rough school.

That doesn't have to do with science though, that could be low self esteem, or just a random imbalanced survey they took.

I just wish i was like two inches taller, and my neck wasn't so thick. I'm 5'9, and skinny, but it looks kind of weird because I have pretty broad shoulders and a thick neck but then I have near sickly thin arms and everything else is just skinny.

Being tall also has it's toll on the joints and nervous system.

I'd like best to be 6'2" and be able to bench a moderate amount. As it is I'm 6'6" and can bench less than that the average 18-y/o.
