Tall Muscle: Muscular Tall People |IronGangsta

It is pretty hard to build an impressive musculature when you are tall. You just need more muscle mass to achieve an impressive look. For example, a person who is 5'5 will look big at 135 lbs of bodyweight. However a person who is 6'2 and weights 135 lbs will look skinny.

Today Irongangsta.com decided to present you some of the most muscular tall people. Truth be told most of these guys are not as "complete" as a professional bodybuilder but next to them all of IFBBs pro look small.

It's not a complete list by any means and if you want somebody to be added to the post please post a comment.

2. Calvin Lane, the only man to dwarf Shaquille O'Neal

Born in a small town in East Texas, his father was 7'8"and his mother is 5'3". Obviously he got his dad's genes! At age thirteen, there was a tragic incident that would change his whole life. Being a Cub Scout, Calvin went camping with his troupe in Texas. As they discovered the great outdoors, they came across a stream. Exhausted from hiking, the boys wanted to drink from the stream. The troupe leader said it would be okay to drink the water as long as it was flowing water, so they did, not realizing that some decomposing cows lay dead in the water upstream of their location and had polluted the water. A couple of days later, Calvin began to feel ill. The Lane family, thinking that it was just stomach cramps, did not pay it much attention. His condition grew worse and Calvin was taken to a doctor. The doctor immediately rushed him to the hospital where he was diagnosed with Spinal Meningitis. The disease spread over his body and affected his sight and hearing, eventually leaving him blind and deaf. Even though the situation looked grim, the Lane family was informed only one other scout in the troupe survived the deadly drink of water. The troupe leader survived because he did not drink from the stream. Young Calvin lost his sight for one year and his hearing for two years. Through the prayers, encouragement and positive attitude of his family, he fully recovered and eventually excelled in sports.
