Women react to the physique of 5'5 Mr. Olympia competitor Ruff Diesel
Self-Improvement will always give better results than staying where you are. This guy is what a lot of ladies would call "average-looking", but his dedication to his physique and success gives him a major edge. I absolutely believe that most of these reactions are genuine.
Anyone else feel this way? I have a naturally wide chest and shoulders and large calves. I workout regularly to maintain definition, but am blessed in the sense that I have naturally what I hear a lot of my guy friends spend hours trying to achieve in the gym.
I've been told by others (women, taller men) that working out to gain a bigger chest makes short guys look even shorter. While I like the way that I look and am overall confident, I'm wondering what everyone's take on this is. Do any of you avoid gaining mass because of that point of view?
Don't forget to train those forearms in the gym fellas
I remember being much younger and having extremely thin forearms. One of my crushes in high school joking said she could probably break my arm in a fight to which at the time, she might have been right!
Reverse wrist curls with dumbless, grip strengtheners and regular wrist curls will do the trick. Start with a weight you can handle and over time increase the weight and set. Always maintain proper form to avoid injury (I am NOT your trainer). That is what will make the top of your forearms pop.
There is a lot of talk about how big shorter guys should let their upper body or muscles get. Don't listen to any of them. Do what works for you and what makes your satisfied. It's your body.
This is where biology comes into play and your observations are not unfounded. I too noticed in my weight lifting days, I would get "challenged" or "side-eyed" by taller men. I wouldn't call it intimidation, but more so "stepping on their turf". Us shorter men regularly get accused of being "insecure", but most of the time, it's usually others being insecure. The "stepping on their turf' equates to also stepping out of our lane.
Will intense weightlifting make me look "shorter" because of the added bulk? I've heard girls say that short guys who lift weights are overcompensating and a friend of mine who is 5'5 lifts weight has bulk and people call him "bulldog". Which body type compliments us more? Short/Skinny or Short/Muscular?
Martial Artists! Difference fighting people larger/smaller than you?
How do you have to adjust yourself in fighting larger or smaller opponents? I want to get into Tae Kwan Do and have asked but those who I've asked act oblivious to height as if it doesn't matter. I can't imagine it does.
Is it fair to assume all bigger or fat women are lazy and unhealthy? I don't think it is. So why is it okay to assume all short men are depressed and desperate?
