I’m 5’8-5’9, can a muscular physique make up for it?

[ElloinmorninJ]

I need to know

it will make you look shorter

Most dudes in the gym are shortcels, so i guess it might help?

most dudes there don't get laid either

no amount of muscle can make up for height, if I were u I’d just be lean 10% bodyfat with a tiny bit of muscle

 

[JackHanma]

Yes and wear lifts.

Doubt it. Unless they have insanely high standards or JB standards.

A nice muscular physique can have you slaying average chicks if your face is not all that great.

 

[Gaygymmaxx]

Wear lifts to 5"10.5 and roid up

Definitely can still maintain a great smv

I say get shredded and lean but don't put on too much muscle. Look at actors who are your height who look taller than they are. Most of the time they have a lean physique with toned muscle but not too much because when you put on too much size you look wider and shorter.

Nah life starts at 6'3 ngl.

You being 5'8 makes you irredeemable. Only thing that can make up for it is chad FACE.

in theory, sure, in practice all they do is jerk off to porn

 

[ElloinmorninJ]

You'll look like you're compensating

I never got this- why is compensating a bad thing? What’s the alternative?

 

[Deleted member 19944]

Alternative is to roidmaxx

whats the difference between roidmaxxxing and muscular phsyqieu lol

 

[Growth Plate]

a wider frame makes you look taller, same with long legs
just have huge delts and a v taper and a torso that's more muscular than your legs
and wear lifts or get LL
obviously nothing can actually make up for manletism though

5’9 is actually not that bad of a height because you almost always have a 1.00 midface and a high FWHR, so it’s easier to have a Chad face

 

[Germania]

I need to know

sure, most finess models are around your height

 

[bigjuicy]

5'9 can fraud with lifts to 6, no frame needed

5'8 cannot fraud to 6' though

which one are you

 

[Sanguinius]

Having a muscular physique is always helpful. No reason why you shouldn’t do it at any height. If you have good face and good body at that height you can do okay, maybe not great but okay

 

[Foreverbrad]

No, get let lengthening.

You can't "make up" for things. That's the whole point of failo theory.
