I've wondered about that. I am about a quarter inch over 6'1" barefoot. How should I report that on Getbig? Should I say 6'3", or more? I'd appreciate Getbig's help in this matter.

Convert to metric for our international friends. 2.54 cm = 1 inch or  39.37 inches = 1 meter

What percentage of height exaggeration is customary? Five percent?

Haha that guy is hopeless.  Only cardio I get is maybe 90 minutes of bike riding on Saturdays... Unless you count scrambling out the door to catch the bus each morning (50 ft or so)

Yeah I lls, so what... Its called being natural + not gifted.  I don't think anyone could do any better with what I've been given.

As for pics, I don't look much diff than my avatar, maybe 5 lbs difference.

Joon is so clueless. He has absolutely no idea how much muscle he has to gain in order to reach that target. :D
Fuck it, put the guy on a IFBB pro stack and I still think he'd fail to reach that. ;D

at some point, you have to consistently get in the work. thru hangovers, hookers, drugs....you drag your ass to the gym.

thanks bud

good work Ceph.  what do you estimate your BF at ?

thanks.  hard to say... maybe 7-8%?  i've only been measured once, in highschool, using an inaccurate method... they said 8% at that time.

it's weird how your body changes over time.  when i was this weight before, i certainly didn't have as lean of a lower body -- but I also didn't train legs back then (this is almost a decade ago), so it's kind of hard to compare.  i also think i had less fat on my stomach before -- i could barely pinch anything off -- and my shoulders and chest had more prominent striations.  now, i have less striations but WAY more vascularity, also better definition on my triceps and brachialis (which I could never see before).

As a true natty with average genetics you will end up extremely light in the single digits. I have never been there, but I'm dieting down to a legit 6%  ;D doing the Galeniko diet and I'm now 5'11", 174 lbs. Not long ago I used to be a delusional permabulker fatso at 213. Probably will end in the low 140s or something which is equivalent to what cephissus got down to.

How did you get shredded glutes at 7-8 %  ??? I thought you needed to be at least 5% and dry...

6'3 169? Just because you "retired" from bodybuilding doesn't mean you have to stop training and EATING. One extreme to the other

How tall were you in your prime (20's/30's)?

I maxed out at 5' 11 1/2" when I was still a youth. Not sure when I started to shrink. It is mostly spinal compression/degeneration. My inseam has stayed the same, but my back is definitely not as long as it once was. Fortunately, since I had a disproportionately long back, the ratio of back to leg length is pretty normal even today. On the other hand my arms are still disproportionately long. And as someone mentioned my wrists are 9" which suggests I am large boned.

Other than hanging upside down, I don't know what one can do to counter the compression in our spines. It just is what it is. Most everyone I know who made it to old age has shrunk. I think my mom went from 5'8" to about 5'6". My wife has really shrunk. She was about 5'9" when we married. She seems really short these days.

Taking vitamin D3 plus calcium and weight training should minimize the shrinking.

Taking vitamin D3 plus calcium and weight training should minimize the shrinking.

Thanks for the advice. I've weight trained my entire adult life. Can't say much about D3, but there is likely calcium in my senior multivitamins.

Without a doubt, genetics plays a role in people's bone health. Poor posture also can cause us to lose height. Growing up, I was one of the tallest kids in my class. I think this made me stoop some. I remember wanting to be both shorter and thicker when I was a kid. I was not only tall for my age, I was unbelievably skinny as a teenager. I would have sold my soul to be short and muscular....be careful of what you wish for, it may just come to pass.

I might have been a little hungry when I wrote that ;D

Also, to respond to some others (sorry, posting on my phone):

Not sure how long it took.  I've never dieted for a goal, I've always just tried to achieve the best state I can sustain indefinitely.  So, I could say it took 11+ years, since that's how long its taken to learn and experiment enough to arrive where I am today.

I 'retired' from 'bodybuilding' because I looked and felt like utter shit, stuffing myself with 6k calories a day.  Yeah I've taken it just as far in the other direction -- now I look like an aids victim, in clothes at least.

But at least I know more about my limits.  You'll laugh at how clueless and confined by prejudice the vast majority of people are, with regard to diet and exercise, only after pushing yourself to the extreme.
