Tallest Bodybuilder?

[Ogrebear]

I am trying to find out who the tallest bodybuilder is?

Lou Ferrigno is the tallest Mr Olympia at 6' 5" I believe but is there taller?

How tall can someone get and still be built?
Is there an 'upper limit'? on muscle building?

Cheers!

Ralf Moeller (6ft 6") Data from Wikipedia

According to Tall.com, the tallest ex bodybuilder is Dave Prowse at 6ft 7"

I believe Dalip Singh -- recently in the remake of The Longest Yard movie -- is about 7 feet tall and once competed in bodybuilding.

Conan is one big dude! Time for a remake of the Conan movies, starring the real thing?

Anyone else really tall and muscled up out there?

I was reading up on some over at Wiki:

Jorge_Gonzales former Pro wrestler who's 7' 6" - not very muscular though, the WWF made him wear a muscle suit in the ring!

Richard_Kiel Man who played Jaws in James Bond movies- very square built rather than muscular, but certainly no wimp!

Paul_Wight Like the Great Andre the Giant and Giant Haystacks are huge tall men, but I wish they could have been more sculpted in their size- perhaps weight training might have helped them live easier? Is Kane heading for trouble later?

Ralf Moller is more the shape we want, and the strength here.

Any more?

I did some digging about and found some good shots of Dalip Singh on Big Don's Boys site here

According to his Wiki entry Dalip Singh is 7' 3" thats very impressive indeed!

Still searching for a taller bodybuilder though!

See previous threads about Jay Mullen, who's 6' 7".

(Now that the New York Times has made their archives available, the links are working again.)

And there's this thread on Mike Curry, who's 6' 6".

this thread wouldn't be right without mentioning big Noah Steere.
He is at least 6'5, as much as 350lbs in off season, now maintains his weight around 300-320.

and for such a very tall guy, I think now one compares to him as far as muslce mass, his arms are HUGE from shoulder to finger tips !!.
already lots of pics of him out there, so no need for me to post any.

Noah is my favorite of these big guys because he is the thickest (and besides Ralf Moeller the best bodybuilder of the group!!)

There are a lot of pics of Noah out there but one good place to get up to the minute info and GREAT pics is here!! http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/noahsteere/

I didn't see his name on this list, so let me submit him as a

HUGE bodybuilder!

I met/saw him in person at the 2004 Arnold, in the Exhibit Hall. One BIG dude!
He must be around 6'6" or more.

Second HUGE guy nominee:
Bautista "the animal" from WWF. Technically, he's not a bodybuilder, but again, I've talked to him in person (stood next to him) and he's just a big, built dude!

Third HUGE guy nominee:
Essentially ANY NFL lineman. The current average is what, 6'5" and over 330#? Maybe not exactly sculpted, but HUGE!

Noah Steere is 6'6, not sure if he's the tallest but he does currently compete.
