XO will say “haha no you don’t you look weird if you’re short and have muscles or are jacked.”

Well I hate to break it to you but you will look weird if you’re short and you look like someone can throw you over their shoulder and carry you away while you’re with your girl.

As a 5’9.5 (I try to stretch it to 5’10 in the morning) male, height has always been an issue. Being a light liberal doesn’t work. I’ve always tried to have a build in between Miguel Tejada and Wes Welker. I’ve worked on this since I was 14. I’m 34 now. Was there ever a point where I can land a 5’11 model? Of course not. Have I done well enough with 5’6 females? Sure, hit or miss. Can i absolutely clean up with shorter chicks around 5’2 especially if I throw lifts in? Hell yeah. Especially as a white guy I can have my choice of Latina.

Was my life perfect? Hell no. But by lifting I got a 5’6 wife that I still think is beautiful, my T levels are through the roof and im about to have my 5th son (hahah who’s the dad?!?) I love my life.

Lift heavy and lift often.

Lifting "heavy" doesnt contribute to hypertrophy more than moderate weight, equal volume training. There are psychological dangers to focusing on low rep, max weight training such as the big guy lie, and its also a greater injury risk at advanced levels

I believe jeff discusses it in this vid.

This leads to what I call “The Big Guy Lie”. That is, because they failed their original goal of burning fat, they decide that being lean is overrated and all that matters now is to be as big and strong as possible instead of achieving the goal they originally set out to achieve.

TBF this is also a result of powerlifter types and powerlifter influencers convincing people that they should eat a ton and not worry about being fat while squatting and deadlifting heavy, etc. Mark Rippetoe actually advises overweight men to 'only' eat like 3000 calories a day and skinny dudes to go for 4000. It's also easy to blame 'my cut' when you hit a plateau in your training and reverse course.

Wasted over a year of dedicated training by falling into this trap. I didn't eat 3000 calories/day but was eating at maintenance or so when I should've been cutting, and cutting hard. It's easier than you think and not necessarily mental weakness but just misinformation that abets our tendencies towards laziness.

Why on the internet does lifting heavy always have to mean “oh lulz short with wide shoulders and fat lulz.”

If you’ve been lifting since you’re 14 you’ve obviously been playing sports and developing some sort of athleticism. I am talking about a Wes worker build. Not a 5’6 Rock build lmao.

this has to be TCR. between all of the ex-Jocks who've let themselves go and just straight-up fat guys, it doesn't work socially to get outweighed by like 100 lbs in addition to the whole Short thing. I mean the Short could just get extremely fat which adds strength plus works in itself since it's a form of shtick ("hey everyone, I'm fat!") but it's not aesthetic lol.

this is dumb irl. "looking shorter" vs taller like with vertical stripes or whatever is something that females believe since they lack spatial intelligence. height is just ascertained relative to nearby people/objects.

not really.

it's marginal, of course -- no short stature person is going to 'look 6'5"' by being slender or wearing stripes -- but it has an effect, and it's a better aesthetic than being a puffed up shorty, all bandy-limbed and barrel chested, like something out of Wizard of Oz. these guys look comical.

There are muscles that look cartoonish when blown up (pecs, biceps, lats) and muscles that look dignified and convey real physical strength and aptitude when well-developed (shoulders, mid-back, lower back, legs). Short guys should focus on the latter to convey dignity rather than cartoonishness.

jacked short guys always look funny. lean and lanky is always the way to go. No one is getting into bar fights or fighting on the streets, and even if they were, lifting heavy isn't going to help you. Chicks see skinny af guy, their bird brains automatically assume giant cock and will perceive an average-sized pecker as being giant if it's attached to a thin and tiny frame.

a 160 pound 5'11 dude wearings lifts will be far more aesthetic than a 210 pound 5'11 guy lifts or no lifts. It's not a matter of height, but aesthetic. The aesthetic of a short wide bodied muscle bro isn't it, unless you're built like franco columbo

Are we threading about short 5’11 guys again? Ok yes Matthew Mcconaughey is more aesthetic than meatloaf. I’m talking about like 5’9 and under, seems cr to not even aim for aesthetics but to just close the size gap. I mean if the guy has a 6 pack already then don’t dirty bulk but within reason. Jason Statham is basically OYT without at least some bulk.
