[Marvel] Why did The Super Soldier Serum increase Rodger's height ?

Why didnt it just increase his musculature physique and stats ? Could he not have been peak human at his former height ? Did the experiment really need to make him 6'2"-6'4" to be a super soldier ? Cant he just be the peak human/enhanced manlet like wolverine ?

SSS typically grants what's "perfect" for your own genes. Steve was raised by a single mother and his early childhood was during the great depression. He likely spent his formative years malnourished, hence the reduced height and weight prior to receiving the treatment.
