Conor Mcgregor = gymmaxed framelet example

[Chinlet Ascension]

A lot of people question the value of gymmaxing if they have a small frame, and I think Conor Mcgregor is a good example of what they could achieve. Mcgregor is a classic "ectomorph," with a narrow chest and long limbs. He trains with weights a lot and has tried to bulk up from the time he was a skinny teenager.

His fighting weight is around 155 lbs at 5'9, and probably walks around (not-cut weight) at 170-180 lbs. Depending on how he dresses, he often doesn't look big:

When he cuts, the muscle definition comes out, but he also looks narrow from certain angles, when his narrow chest and joints are highlighted by the way he is standing:

I think he could get bigger than this if he was focused on lifting and didn't have to maintain a certain weight to make a weight class. But if you are going for the lean/aesthetic look and you're worried about staying very lean, this might be an attainable look for you.

Mcgregor looks noticeably smaller than similar-height guys he has faced, like Dustin Poirier and Khabib.

He's a manlet he has a tiny frame

he has a good frame

he has a good frame

He's got a good shoulder-to-waist ratio that is crucial for looking good/masculine. But he is narrow.

I think he has a medium-sized skull, but there's no way to be sure

How many inches wide is his ribcage you think?

No way to know but I would guess he was around a 36 suit jacket size before he beefed up.

Watch his fight against Dustin Poirier. He looks so narrow compared to Dustin, who is not even a particularly big guy (similar height and weight).

I haven't seen one. His bio said he got picked on a lot before he started martial arts, which fits the idea that he was a skinny kid.

Norwood Reaper took his soul

 

[ShowerMaxxing]

He has good frame, just failed by height and long arms so automatically looks smaller. Doesnt matter anyways he is status, money and personalitymaxxed tbh. Also he is decent looking imo atleast he was b4 drugs, partying etc fucked his collagen

 

[Chinlet Ascension]

He has good frame,

No, he's small. This isn't even one of those edge cases where it's hard to tell, he's really small overall.

Here's an experiment: Find a full-body picture of him. Use your finger to cover up his shoulders (the only part of him which is semi-wide). How does he look now? Very narrow. Narrow ribcage, narrow hips.

dude wtf are u talking about we has wide fucking shoulders,maybe not a dope as frame but no way near a framelet

almost usually large considering 5 mins of punching is more endurance leading to smaller muscles.

STFU retard
he is not a bodybuilder but a fighter

He doesn't have wide shoulders. They're average at most, but look bigger due to muscle. Average shoulders + very narrow ribcage + narrow hips = framelet

almost usually large considering 5 mins of punching is more endurance leading to smaller muscles.

Irrelevant broscience

This thread is actually meant to be flattering to him, in a certain way. He handled the life he was given very well, and became a great athlete. But this is a looks-centered site, and we should acknowledge the fact that he's got a small frame

That's because he has imaginary lat syndrome 24/7 so his shoulder width looks bigger. High IQ Chads can tell what he's doing:

His frame itself is quite small, and it's more obvious when he's off cycle

He looks tiny there.

When he started at UFC, he was actually fighting as a featherweight. He had to gain weight in order to fight in the lightweight class. The guy is naturally tiny.
