I would guess that a good number of short guys are naturally more muscular or have a strong skeletal frame. I am not a bodybuilder, though I could be said to be short, and I am not exactly weak. :)

Muscle is denser and rounder (generally speaking) on shorter people. There are exceptions to every rule. Arnold ofcourse. Today Gunter Shelercamp is over 6'

They compensate for thir stature. Lifting weights, building their arms, looking like human pitbulls. There was not one person in our high school that was not afraid of my husband. He didn't care how tall you were, how much you weighed, he could beat the livin' sh** out of all of them. He often did:( To this day, older men see my kids and tell them stories about their dad. He's still pretty tough. You don't need to be tall to be a big man!!!

Smaller framed people tend to make a more powerful frame. The compacted muscles are shorter so they are easier to form into the frame that bodybuilding judges like. Taller people take longer and tend to require more training to make the physique they are looking for. There are a number of larger bodybuilders though. Taller people have longer more slender muscle structure which suits them more for endurance rather than sheer power. It is just like in the Army Physical Fitness Test, when you find a short armed fellow like myself, we tend to do better at the push-up event, whereas the taller people tend to do better at the running event.

when you lift weights you dont really stretch yourslef. so my brother when he lifts weights he also hangs on monkey bars :D that way he'll have muscle and be tall

Because of the judging. Judges tend to favor short, compact muscles rather than long, drawn muscles of the taller men.

My son broke his wrist last year.When we went to the doctor to take the cast off he asked the doctor if he could lift weights with it on.The doctor said to be very carefull at a young age lifting weights you may become shorter!He said it takes away from the bone growth,I got the feeling that wasnt the real reason but that it was true:lift heavey weights and your bones will suffer for it.MY son is 12.

SHort people have a "square" frame and it is easier for them to build muscle faster than the taller ones....;)

It's much easier to develop a smaller frame. For taller people, their muscle bellies are longer and more difficult to fill out.
