>tfw barely an muscle
Brayden Diaz
but you have potential to lift more if you try harder and will look more aesthetic a 5'4 buffed manlet will never look as good as a 6'3 buffed chad
t.5'4
Parker Brooks
Eat more, lift more. He'll look different from you because of stature, but at the same time, i've seen some really fucking bulky 6'3" guys who are way more intimidating than 5'7" guys
Adrian Hall
eat more, outlift him. you should be stronger than a fucking manlet cmon son.
Ryan Perez
>6'3.5 fucking type 6'3 or 6'4 you insecure fuck
Christopher Garcia
You should be able to pack in at least 200lb of lean body mass, whilst your body will top out at 170.
Alexander Nelson
If in was insecure I'd type 6'4".
The height in wrote is my fucking height, I'm Not adding or subtracting from it.
Jayden Collins
Buddy will top out at 170*
Jacob White
Learn motherfucking metric system already. Imperial system is retarded and you all know it.
Hudson Morales
You don't he conversion yourself, or fuck off from the thread.
I don't want to have to walk around mopping up your period spillage.
Nicholas Edwards
You're 6'3 hair adds an inch
Brody Brooks
He's still a manlet
Joseph Walker
Nah, I measured With one of those apparatuses that presses onto the top of your head!
Do manlets actually count their hair?
Isaac Brown
>that insecure faggot that measures his height in half inches
Michael Wood
Poor lanklet. My friend was 6'7 and used to gripe about wanting to look thick and powerful like me even thought he was shredded. The grass is always greener.
Colton Cox
Youre probably not eating enough mnan, manlets have it easy they hardly have to eat if they wanna get big
Juan Lewis
>That late manlet that doesn't read the thread
Zachary Clark
girls like the tall swimmer look
Logan Rodriguez
>Tfw ive been rejected for being too "skinny and awkward looking" at 6'4 200lbs I just want to look strong and not have to tell people I'm strong.
Zachary Sanders
you need to weight 225+
Zachary Lee
>mfw 5'7" tall >gym buddy is 6'3.5" lanklet >lift about 5 kg heavier than him, started lifting around the same time >probably lift more than him because he has a wider rom >plus his muscles look smaller in proportion because of his overall body size >look twice as buff as him but girls still rather go for him
Why did I larp as my tall friend on a Cambodian abortion clinic guest book and why do girls like tall men more than me?
Mason Cruz
Hit the juice
William Powell
Sure, but the way someone who is 6'3" looks when they're buff is something else, you are literally a titan for 99% of the population once you weigh above 225 LBS while not being a fatso.
Gabriel Peterson
More strength potential as well as absolutely aesthetic and imposing physique further in your journey.
t. Manlet pit rim dweller at 5'11,5 . If you don't look hard you'll think I'm just walking by.
Dylan Miller
'i started around the same time my buddy did. we're both 5'9" but he's 20lbs heavier. i've progressed faster because i'm on my shit when it comes to eating and i don't have poor posture like him. but maybe it's genetics.
Landon Hughes
Right now you might not look so good but if you do get to the same level of muscle as him you will look waaaaay better
Brandon Allen
we don't know what he did before he started lifting. i mean in terms of athletics as well as daily lifestyle. maybe you have much worse posture. maybe you ate/eat worse than he did/does. maybe you slouch more when you sit. maybe you are more prone to being lazy and slow and he's more anxious.
i'd def say you need to focus on how you lift what you are lifting. really focus on the squeeze and pump. on the descending movement go slower, pause at the bottom of the rep for a second, and explode back up, pause at the top, repeat. this is one method that has helped me immensely.
also what you eat. you gotta eat more. add more meals in the day. also, remember your body needs different amounts of nutrients than your friend's body does in order to get to your goals. maybe the time to do different weight and exercises is now.
Hudson Morales
It's because he trains better than you. That difference in size means there is no way the same weight is the same % of 1RM for both of you. SO while you do the same shit all the time, to his body it's actually doing significant damage to his muscles, thus the hypertrophy. You on the other hand probably arent really getting into that real hypertrophy inducing damage area during your workouts. Personal build differences also come into play here 'd suggest upping both your calories and your lifts, even if you need significant help from a spotter at first. For example for me and my training partner standing 178cm and 186cm respectively, and at bout the same level of muscular development. When e train chest, which is one of my strong points and one of his weak ones, we usually train with the same weights give or take 5-10 pounds when we do strength work. I use significantly lower weights when we do hypertrophy work, while he always loses considerable size whenever he tries the same approach. Our Diets are also similar but the quantities of food are completely different. In short, the shorter you are the bigger you can get with less food and less taxing workout approaches, for the joints at least.

so much this, there was this kid that mind boggled us at our gym, he shows up looking like your average kid, skinny with the awkward haircut, all the good shit. took him about 3 months to get to 195 pounds at 5'10, his chest and tris were incredible, we all though he roided till he told us he had been a gold medalist freestyle swimmer at a number of international meets in highschool. Freestyle is baically using dips to propel you in water. He had also done dips and pushups since middle school. He ate like shit, but he was strong, even when he first showed up. Everybody is different man.
