Short Men With Big Muscles Look Ridiculous!

[Benito Mutumbo]

Bump for one of the better threads.

A lot of short people melting down.

[Parker]

I'm about 5'9.2" right now.  I just woke up!

As the day goes on, I will eventually lose at least 0.5" in height.

Am I a manlet?    If so, what can I do to prevent this?

Matt, seriously who keeps track of that type of stuff? The last person I knew who kept track of stuff like this, wore two button up shirts and had plans to blow up his high school.

That person you talk about with the button up shirts and plans to blow up the school was Matt....I bet you knew this already.

They should go on message boards and claim to have benched 535 lbs at 181.

Rick Weil set a record for an unequipped bench press in the 181 division that has not been touched in 23 years.  He bench pressed 556 lbs at a bodyweight of 181, without the use of an assistive bench shirt.  This is not only the record for the 181's but the biggest triple bodyweight unequipped bench press of all time across any weight division and within 6 lbs of the record for the division above him (198).  Not to mention the fact that Rick already holds the record for the 165's...


Coach's 535 bench would have literally been one of the greatest lifts in the history of powerlifting. 

He would have been 20lbs away from a record that has stood for a quarter of a century...and is the biggest triple bodyweight bench press OF ALL TIME...and across ANY weight division.

 Yes, short guys with huge muscles do look stupid.

 Without a shirt they look good. But with clothes on they look like dwarfs. Especially when guys like that wear formal clothes like suits, looks funny as hell.

 If you're 5'6 or under. You will look like a damn fool.

 I'm glad i'm just under 5'8. An inch or two less and I'd be in dwarfland too.

[WillGrant]

Hahaha lil fuckers - they also bounce on the balls of there feet to try and make themselves taller.. 

[Griffith]

Amazing how it's the tall guys that are so angry about shorter guys....

In bodbybuilding being tall is a disadvantage, unless taking drugs most will still have a gangly awkward appearance. It's more difficult for them to fill out and especially their legs will still often look quite skinny if they're lean.

The best height for BB is prob 5'10 which will give the best balance in having some height while keeping the thick, stocky look especially if they have naturally broad shoulders.
Taller people cannot in most cases get this dense, thick look to their bodies. Especially without drugs.

Looking as thickly built, muscular and broad as possible is what modern BB is about.   

[WillGrant]

Anything under 5'8 is stupid - between that and 5'10 is the perfect height hope that helps shorty

epic beta male post. 

Must be a short guy

[Dr Dutch]

Has there been a mr O over 6 feet, except Arnold ?

No, and there prob never will. Women may love tall muscular men, judges not.

Some women like them shorties as well...

It was hot that day.
After I filled the pool (as you can see) I jumped in gracefully.

  Here is the thing: the shorter the guy and the bigger the muscles, the more ridiculous he looks. Stature is a sign of masculinity. Men are 15% taller than women. Height is associated with alpha maleness. Throughout history, the taller men beat smaller men for status competition and became the leaders. This is why men are on average taller than women, since genes that code for height are in the "Y" chromosome.

  A man who is of average stature with huge muscles strike people as a beta male trying to be something that he is not: an alpha male. Case in fact, his huge muscles only emphasize his lack of stature even further. A short man with huge muscles looks like a freak of Nature, since he is not even a beta male in people's eyes. Big muscles are associated with masculinity just like stature, and short stature is associated with femininity or poor health. Hence, a 5'4 midget, like Priest, looks like a geneticlly defective troll with something wrong with him ok..

   It is perhaps sad that the men who look the best with huge muscles are the men who need big muscles the least: tall guys. In the tall guy, the huge muscles only makes him look more like an alpha male, since the big muscles call the height into attention and vice-versa. It is the opposite of a 5'10 guy who's huge muscles call into attention his average stature, adn therefore his beta maleness, even more. People are always poiting out Silvester Stallone's Napoleon complex in his huge muscles, on how ridiculous for a man who is 5'8 to have the muscles of a 6' 6 true alpha male. In Dolph Lundgren, though, the huge muscles look great and when he dieted down for his later films he was criticized by how he lost some of his alpha maleness. So if you are under 6'3, getting big muscles only makes you look more beta male ok.


SUCKMYMUSCLE

Are you suggesting that men under 6'3" should commit suicide?

[suckmymuscle]

  No, they should move to North Korea or Senegal where, due to mass starvation, the average male stands 5' tall, so they will be alpha males.

 I think huge muscles look ridiculous on guys of almost any height really. Musculrity and a healhty look can look good. But unnaturally big muscles always have a kind of silly look. Most people don't think "Wow, that's impressive." They think "Ha Ha. Look at this silly looking tool."

 The key is to be muscular and cut, but be a size that looks good for your frame.

 Most guys don't care about this and they just go all out for maximum muscle. Unless you're over six feet tall, this will look laughable to most people.

 Jay Cutler once said theat people laugh at him on the street.....

Pre-fucking-cisely! Case in point, Zane looked MUCH BETTER at 185 then he did at 200, even at the exact same level of bodyfat FACT

[Griffith]

 Tall men also tend to have larger dicks than short men, for the obvious reasons of morphology that bodyparts tend to be proportional so the taller the bigger the dick on average. This is a further blow to the egos of short men. Then, there is the fact that, because tall men have more muscle mass and strength - for the same reason for why they have bigger dicks -, they could use short men as female surrogates if they wanted to. Most of the rapists in prison are tall men, and most "punks" are short guys. Seldom will you see a short guy in prison with a tall "punk".
  Being short for males = all around beta maleness

SUCKMYMUSCLE

EPIC trying to justify some sort of prison rape scene fetish of yours....

[flinstones1]

If all else is equal, which it rarely is, yes this is true. If I could be any height in the world, I'd be 5'11. Then if I could have my hair back and a 9" cock, none of you guys would ever get laid.

perfect example of we want what we cant have. I'm 6 feet tall and would kill to be 6'3.  may I ask what is every dudes obsession with being 5'11 these days? also every woman I have ever asked says it is the perfect height.
