Is it worth being a jacked manlet?

Need something to compensate with

So what do you guys call jacked dudes like Arnold (Above average height) and Lou Ferrigno (tall)

Norms.

Women don't seem particularly interested in the bulky look - it impresses other dudes though, both the straight and gay ones. Fit and lean is always a winner though.

Is manlet the word of the week around here or something?

"Manlet" is one of these random catchwords/catchphrases that you only ever hear Sherdog dorks using, such as "jimmies rustled", "xyz bless" etc.

Jacked and Tanned = bishes...

I know its a punchline but its true. in my hey day I had game but tbh it was my 4 pack,goldberg traps, 24 inch pythons and tan that got me the bidnass

Better to be a muscled manlet than one without, but yeah, the ones who get as wide as they are tall just become their own punchline.

They look awesome. Hector Lombard looks amazing. What looks ridiculous is fat, jacked manlets. If you're a manlet, you gotta stay ripped.

I wouldn't recommend being jacked.

Being very fit is much better.

what would we call someone who is a little of both? facked-jit? sounds really similar to another word.

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

Lifting is not boring it is fun. Physical exercise is fun and pushing your body is fun.

Even tall guys shouldn't aim for fat and jacked aka fat and heavily muscled.

Who looks cooler Hector Lombard or Dominic Cruz?

Absolutely no chance I'd approach Lombard level jacked naturally and 99.9% sure I wouldn't make it on the sauce either.

It's really more of a Dominick Cruz or Chad Mendes discussion.

Not lean as possible, but don't carry too much fat, and be in great shape.

If you're talking about being attractive, 20% is too much fat.

That's kind of sad that being lean is so highly regarded; but it's pretty reasonable to stay at ~12%ish so that will be my goal.

*blushes* I'm not hoping to overcome my shortness by being in shape. I just want to keep on the self improvement track.

Fit and lean it is.

Get jacked but if you're below 5'7'' it won't help with girls, guys will love it though

 

[Phlog]

Just own whatever you do and be happy.

Fit and lean it is.

Fat is where its at

I think TS grossly underestimates how difficult it is to get jacked.

Being more serious here, but I have had girls say they don't like that I'm short, but they like that I'm built. I'm not super jacked, but I am decently fit from all the training I have done, and I have more developed and wider back and shoulders than the average guy. I've met people who were impressed by my shoulders and back.

Probably but we're setting long term goals not layups.

It's fairly hard to get lean and maintain muscle mass too; neither path is easy.

I'm 5'8" and floating around 150. Shredded. I've been as heavy as a muscular 205. I had to fucking eat everything I laid my eyes on. Honestly, it was miserable. I vote just get in decent shape.

Nice man. It's weird, I trained a really long time for martial arts and it just kept me light especially kbing. I lost a ton of muscle mass from all the road work and cardio. I don't think the bulky muscle ever returned either.

I always pictured you as Doc Holliday sized.

Better than being a fat or average manlet. Improve what you can.
