Filling out the body with muscle
It is "generally" easier for a shorter guy to fill out the muscle bellies than a tall lanky guy. Want some extreme examples? Here is the 2008 Olympia line-up. These stats are pre-Olympia and do not necessarily compare to where everyone came in.
Melvin Anthony 5'8 240 Gustavo Badell 5'8 245 Jay Cutler 5'9 267 Moe Moussawl 5'9 235 Kevin English 5'5 202 Toney Freeman 6'2 286 Phil Heath 5'9 230 David Henry 5'5 207 Dexter Jackson 5'7 230 Johnny Jackson 5'8 240 Craig Richardson 5'7 215 Ronnie Rockel 5'6 225 Silvio Samuel 5'7 220 Sergey Shelestov 5'11 270 Branch Warren 5'7 245 Dennis Wolf 5'11 267 See all the six foot plus guys in there? Oh yeah exactly one. See a lineup of guys mostly 5'5-5'10? Yup. Iron Addict

The best bodybuilders are all over six feet. Arnold and Ronnie Coleman are both over 6'2".
Additionally the guys in the worlds strongest man are all filled out and huge. They are all over six feet tall. An individual with larger limbs can and will add more muscle to their frame. Additionally, they can and will look larger when filled out. |

When you are that tall it is too hard to put on muscle. It just ain't easy. When you have long limbs they never look as full as someone with shorter limbs.

The only big guy at my gym is 5ft2 while I'm 5ft7. He's short and looks big especially when bulking.
