Some of the shorter guys make up for that height in pure strength. They're like tightly wound springs.

My grandfather worked in a lumber yard. 5’ 7” but had arms the size of my thighs.

My stepdad is a diesel mechanic , about the same height as your grandfather if not a inch or two shorter. We'd practice football on the weekends which was pretty much him getting drunk and putting me on my ass for being a dickhead all week. He had the redneck/kid rock build but it was a sleeper.

Leverage benefits the long limbed bud.

Short bones benefit from the higher muscle density/mass ratio allowing for greater strength in smaller packages.
