everyone keeps saying shortcels should just hit the gym and it’ll solve everything. it won’t. height is baseline, and no amount of lifting changes it. looking bigger doesn’t erase shortcel status, it’s mostly mental cope.

nurexa is proof watch the video. reality hits harder than temporary aesthetics.

I hate these stupid takes, it's better to be short and aesthetic than short and fat/twink

In real life it isnt. The most important thing is that YOU know that you are trying. He put in alot of work to reach his phisique. The hate comes from insecure, jelous people. It does not mean anything. All these claims like that are only real on social media.

sure, but that’s a different claim. i’m saying gym doesn’t change baseline outcomes, only presentation.

real life still has hierarchy. effort doesn’t cancel baseline traits, it just affects how you cope with them.

turbos should never talk about the gym unless it's brought up (really true for anyone though) just be especially careful not to make it your life since it looks like overcompensating. Do just enough to be obviously in shape and no more.

better off focusing on another niche like creative talents music, crafting, outdoors skills. Sports, as long as they aren't bodybuilding, can be an effective compromise. Something like bouldering or soccer are appropriate sports for manlets and still can be enough to pull if you're good at it

different aesthetics, same limits. pretending there’s a perfect workaround is the cope.

Yea I mean the idea is that the whole point of bodybuilding is to intentionally draw attention to your body which is what makes it so bad for manlets. If you're in good shape from climbing or surfing or something it's just a side effect added benefit. the main thing you are using to pull is being skilled at something difficult and moderately dangerous. If you're good with woodworking or music or something the idea is being skilled at something difficult and socially valuable and you should probably workout on the side to keep in shape just dont talk abt it

true, the social edge comes from difficulty + skill, not how jacked you look. gym is secondary.

Gym isn’t cope
But also gym can’t make up for height .
Short height is a net negative no matter how much you try to make up for it .

So go fraud with lifts/elevator shoes

it’s one clear example that exposes the baseline. doesn’t need a dozen cases to show the point.

gym isn’t a lie, but it doesn’t touch baseline. short height is eternal limiter.

lol, aesthetics don’t buy respect when height is permanent.

you can argue numbers all you want, doesn’t change the ceiling that aesthetics don’t erase height limits.

Genuinely over for gymcelled manlets. I myself am 5'6 and focus on keeping an athletic physique. I think I have it bad (and I do), but then I see turbo manlets at the gym who are like 5'4 and got Jeff Nippard's physique. I can't even make fun of them at that point because it's already too fucking brutal. At this point, just let the turbo manlets do whatever they want, their life is already hell

aesthetic gains don’t erase height limits. turbo manlets still face the same ceiling.
