Yes,I have noticed![:)]
I think it is an optical illusion,like short people look heavier that taller people with height proportional weight increases! |

Tell me about it. I'm 6'0" barefoot. It takes a lot of work(and food) to look big. I weigh 210 now. To LOOK how I want, I probably need to get up to 230.
Short guys always have the wide shoulders and sweeping lats too. Whan a tall guy gets those, now that is impressive! |

Quoted: Tell me about it. I'm 6'0" barefoot. What a coincidence,I am too! .........when standing on the first step of the stairs![:D] |

It is still genetics - you either have it or you don't.
One thing is for sure, given two equally genetically gifted persons a shorter statured individual will have an easier time benching and squatting - the distance of the lift (arm / leg length) is an advantage. |

I don't know about the easier to put the bulk on bit. But I do know it takes less to look impressive.
My experience: I'm pushing 6'2" and I had a room mate in college who was 5'6". He had well built biceps, I looked very average. We took measurements of circumference of our biceps and they were exactly the same. FWIW |
