he dwarfed Dorian Yates too who is a more normal height

genetics matter more than anything when it comes to aesthetics. All the lifting in the world won't save someone with bad proportions.

zac efron is a manlet but has great proportions so he appears taller and height does not become an obstacle attracting women.
Thiago Alves is actually taller than him but looks like a midget because of his proportions.

And in a body like this, the muscles only make him look stumpier.
Keep in mind I am only evaluating them on the basis of aesthetics so don't get triggered and tell me how Thiago would beat Zac into a bloody pulp. Girls dont give a shit.

They think Zac is less likely to beat them into a bloody pulp.

I'd agree though that reach plays a big part in peoples perception of height. For MMA examples look at Fedor and DC for example, height wise maybe 1-2 inchs in it? yet Fedor looks significantly taller with 4 inchs more reach.

well its not just arm length but also ribcage volume, height of hip, and clavicular length.

Lou is huge he was around 6 foot 4 or 5, Dorian at 5 foot 10 was considered a mass monster in those days, most of these bodybuilders now are under 5 foot 10, they like them to be shorter 5 foot 6 is the average height for some reason

Its weird seeing them on stage and you think they are massive and then standing next to them they are tiny guys but with lots of muscle

I remember meeting Dexter Jackson and he is only 5 foot 6 I was towering over him at 6 foot 2.

Here is a dope pic of all the retired legends
Lou at 6 foot 4 towers over all of them the shortest guy there is Shawn Ray who is 5 foot 5 and half, Robby Robinson right next to Lou is 5 foot 7, Kevin and Dorian are both 5 foot 10, Zane is 5 foot 9, Lee Haney is 5 foot 11

Dorian Yates, Kevin Leverone, Lou Ferrigno, Robby Robinson, Frank Zane, Lee Haney, Shawn Ray

damn, that pic really puts into perspective how big Lou is. Larry Wheels comes to my gym sometimes and everyone assumes he's like 6'3 when he's only 6'1. A lot of bodybuilders look smaller in person but he somehow looks bigger.

It's not even fun on top of that but you sure as hell don't want to look like a bulldog. Leg day is the first day on the schedule.

I train legs on Friday so I have the weekend to recover from the soreness.

Regardless of your height, aim for Men’s Health cover. Not Jay Cutler.

 

[ssBaldy]

get a sixpack and some gains if you can. dont try to look like Palhares, not many bitches dig it

 

[Dreaming Dead]

If you're single chasing tail,sure....If married,why give a fuck,lifting is boring and pointless

Lifting can be fun, I've been lifting for years but I don't have the determination to be 220lbs 9% bf or some shit. Cutting is also much harder than what people seem to think here, reccomending TS to just "get shredded" lol. Also, "lifting for women" is juvenile and futile.

I'm 5'11, 198ish and far, far from being ripped. I do have good arms, shoulders and chest... along with a nice ass beer belly. Fuck what women think, for Christ's sake. I'm happy with myself right now. Will probably ditch the weights and concentrate on sports in a few months.

Lifting for women is better than not lifting at all...

Not that I lift for women but for the people whose main reason for lifting is female attention.

Manlet itself implies that you are jacked.

Sherdog has misinterpreted the term to extend to all short guys. It's only supposed to apply to muscular guys.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Manlet

Actually it just means someone who is short. Popularised on B.B.com, used as an insult to shorter posters due to the perceived “ease in which short guys filled out their stumpy proportions”.

You can be a jacked manlet or a skinny manlet, just means you are (considerably) shorter than the average man aka a manlet.

WTH???

Does this get updated every week?

Last week I was Perfect Male Height area at just under 6'4" and now I am just King of the Manlets!



F*ck you guys. Now I am depressed.

 

[JabToucher]

I'd be more interested being in relatively good shape. I have tried putting on muscle before and it's a lifestyle really, where you have to have good diet and sleep. Something I struggle with.
Im five foot 7 & a half but most people would guess 5' 8.
I have friends only an inch or two shorter and people joke about their heights. But they don't know how to dress to appear taller. Baggy cargo shorts with boots etc will make a short person look more stumpy.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

lol at people saying lean and ripped. If you are ripped but weigh 150 lbs, you're still a bitch.

A bitch to who? Some insecure normie with a tiny dick? Oh well

 

[ThulsaDooom]

Better for manlets to get in the gym.

Gives me something to laugh at when I'm lifting my weights.

You know you want a piece of this sweet ass. Don't deny it.

Women routinely say stuff to save themselves from shame. If they're talking about him, it's likely because they're attracted to him.

Might be the case, but a lot of women aren't into huge ass jacked guys.

Wrong, and the fact it was popularized on bb should have ripped you off

If I want it, I will take it.

A manlet could not defend against my advances.

 

[IIIIIIII]

If you're gonna be short might as well get jacked. Just don't go overboard and look like this guy...(That's just gonna deter pussy)

Aim for this body...

lol, no i'd say avoid the dude on the bottom. that is just ridiculous looking. his upper body is too big for his height and compared to the rest of his body. i re-read my post from way back when in this thread, and i still agree with what i said. be proportional to your height, and work all the muscles in your body equally, so that you don't look disproportional like that fellow below.
