As far as I know, first they decided to put this statue on the Florence Cathedral and Michelangelo wanted to make his hands bigger than the actual size so that it will be seen stronger from the ground. However when Michelangelo finished it, they changed their mind because the statue was too beautiful to put that high. Because of this, the proportions of the statue seems wrong when we are at the same level with him and to see it "more" beautiful it is advised that we should look at it by crouching.
