Should short men gymmax?
I think being muscular/buff makes you look shorter & stubby and makes proportions look more similar to that of a midget. There are fitness/bodybuilding YouTubers who I watch who I thought were about 5'7 but were actually 6'0 but because of being so buff their proportions made them look shorter. And there are fashion YouTubers who I thought were about 6'0 but were actually 5'7 but being so slim their proportions elongated them. Short men also often find it easier to build muscle & look buff, this is a common trope you'll see in the bodybuilding community
I think short men should aim to be slim, toned but not muscular
