Get better genes
>mfw my mom told me the exact same thing a few months ago
she tried to discourage me from lifting, am 5'6
>inb4 haha manlet, when learn etc.
Not true at all. Dyels will find any excuse to avoid putting in the work
theres no hiding the overcompensating manlet look
How is this any worse than being a dyel manlet?

Face it, you can be short and skinny or you can be short and ripped up. Sure, people are gonna make fun of you for compensating, but the fact is they would still be making fun of you just for being short, so you might as well make them make fun of you for achieving something.
it is absolutely true. the wider you are the shorter you look.
>caring what people think
I lift because it's fun, don't care if I end up being being a cylinder.
Not true. People associate being jacked with being big and often think you're taller than you are. Happened to me several times and I'm just an intermediate lifter by symmetric strength standards. Maybe if you're on roids and are absolutely massive it looks comically out of proportion but it's not true at all.
Also, this
We're all gonna make our it, check them.
trips of truth
absolutely true, i have a guy in my class thats really big and i could swear he was the shortest guy in class, but at a party last week he and another manlet who isn't Jow Forums stood back to back to see who was taller, and it was the big muscly guy, but really thought the other guy always looked taller
i'm 6'4 myself tho so its hard to measure looking down
You're still better off lifting. Just ease off on lower body stuff after you get to a certain point.
i wouldn't say they necessarily look shorter, but being jacked can definitely emphasize shortness. like, "woah, that guy is huge... except for the fact that it looks like he was briefly shrink-rayed"
You are just jealous because you’re a giant and you will never put on muscle unless you run high dosages of steroids but you are too pussy because you are scared of needles.
Imagine caring about externals
There's nothing to lose from lifting. Your mom is just afraid of getting mogged
In normal everyday life living in a northern state, at 5'11 i feel average. At the gym im tallet than 80% of people.
It's true. A manlet looks weird at a lower level of muscularity than a normal person. The effect of being muscular is totally destroyed when someone realizes they're notably taller than the tall person.
See vid related
some truth, wider shapes look shorter, it's an optical illusion. although same can be said about a fat person. also height isn't the only thing people see, being more wide some say is on par if not better than being tall, it's just harder to view without comparison or extreme cases of being narrowed people or wide people.
stop making excuses to go the gym
C R A B
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm 5'2". I don't care if I look shorter, I just want to be stronger. I am confident even with my height, but it might me that my sister is 5'11".
Jow Forums please post photo of that jacked man on the beach and his photo near a tall friend.
It is hilarious and big eye opener.
You won't look comically shorter as long as you're natty.
Fuark if that's true I want to look 2 feet tall
Just normie cope and crab in the bucket mentality. I have a thousand times more respect for buff manlets than skinnyfat manlets. It shows hard work.
dont be short or better luck next time (reincarnation is real)
brutal mog right here.
Plus it's nice to let your sub think they have a chance
lol when will they learn?
is 5'10 too short or am i good to go?
>reincarnation is real
provide evidence for your claim
which is why ottermode with fairly big arms is the best u can hope for as a manlet
t. 5'9
Literally everything a manlet does is looked down on (pun unintended) and attributed to him being a manlet.
It's objectively better to be strong and swole than weak and skinny.
she's got bigger calves than any of them lmao
Yes. The wider you are the shorter you look
Where do you live because that's above average in most of America
Real bitches that wear heels should be round up and whipped
Pretty much the best height of you're not going to be tall tall.
Embrace it. Go full slayer mode.
Full wolverine
post mom's body
I would do steroids tbqh but I have no idea where to get them. I've found some sites that use bitcoin but everything looks too shady or is a straight up scam.
Ofc.
No you can't avoid it. Get fit by all means, but don't overdo it. It will just looks like you're overvcompensating.
This. Thread closed
we're all gonna make it bro. keep going
Definitely depends on the body type. Not all five foot six dudes are built the same. Knowing what would suit your frame is most important. Wide shoulders, long torso? Can probably put on more mass imo.
>she
Stop being afraid of being a manlet. Nobody gives a shit if you're short if you don't. That doesn't mean you get jacked to shit and start acting like an asshole though. You just need to outsmart your height.
>jacked
mishima had body not only manlets, but everyone should aim for. ripped mode is best mode
Based strokeposter
more like fit vs r9k
> people are gonna make fun of you for compensating
Only if you become a bloatlord
>strokeposter
how you cumgruzzler
Have height.
Depends on how short and how big. A 5'9" guy wont look short by lifting but if you're like 5'4" or under you probably dont want to be at a high body fat or you look like a sausage.
Geometry is a bitch
It is true. This is why I am going for lean/ottermode. You need to be at that perfect aesthetic limit where you dont start looking ridiculous. For me it's no more than ~75kg at 5'10
Does it really matter? No one is going to mess with a battle hardened dwarf.
Today you're lifting weights. Tomorrow you'll be lifting your head up.
jesus you people will literally make up any excuse why you're so small.
5'10" 180lb here and still gaining
What they did with the end of that series is a literal crime against humanity.
>Fucking lol
My gymbro is 175ish cm and big. He's like King dwarf
I'm a 210cm (5'4) manlet and I don't think this is true.
5'10" here, am I the only one that fantasizes about killing himself daily?
Why even live when no gf manlet?
