Do you need to be tall to have an impressive physique?

[homeylova223]

I am short in height and most of the other guys around me are a lot taller than me. I wonder do you need to be tall in order to have a good body, I mean it seems society through models and stuff only makes tall guys appear attractive.

I don't think so. Actually I'm jealous of short guys because everything looks bigger due to proportions.

Naw man, it's all about how you carry yourself and how confident you come over.

I have one name for you.. and you should know it .. Franco Columbu .. now that man was built! and 5'5" .. google him, watch Pumping Iron, he is a legend with a brilliant physique !

So no you don't need to be tall to have a great body.. it helps alright but not an essential!

This^^^^^.. hate having long limbs.

Jay Cutler is only 5 ft 9. most winners of Olympia are under 5 ft 10. Frank Zane was short. Bruce Lee is short. tens of thousands of amatuer guys are short and have great pysciques. Don't let the tall guys that talk too much get you down. (pun intended.........puns are fun)

[Kingthumper]

Its difficult for me to even take you question seriously. If you have only seen well built physiques on taller people then you should leave your cave and see a bit of the big ole world.

[SilvaMan61]

like it was said before i envy shorter guys. it doesn't take as much muscle to fill the frame. fact of the matter you look jacked quicker than any tall guy.

You're only 188lbs though, you can't see yourself as "big" at that weight?

[Livestock]

Of course it matters. Everything in your life is defined by the opinion of others. You should alter your lifestyle so as to comply with all the opinions and expectations being generated by the several billions of idiots we have on this globe that they pretend to be *living* on.

[E-Tank]

just dont stand next to normal sized people

[Nall32]

Dnt wry bout tall people brah there jst jelouse i get made fun of everyday for bein short 5'7 but then they ask my advice on dieting and traing. Embrace ur shortness and drive on knowinf you have a better body.

[alexanderbrown1]

I don't think so

[bradpineau]

I've seen some pretty jacked short guys. I think you can be impressive at any height.

[joeyceee]

Small dudes got the bulky look tall guys look better goodthingbim 6 foot 4

[cate0504]

If you're ripped, then you're ripped. Height doesn't matter.

[ciaran1234]

What BF% would that dude in the pic on bondi beach be?

[mooshermy]

depends on the relative meanings of 'tall' and 'impressive.' for example, the pic that was posted, i find nothing impressive about that, based on my personal opinion of 'impressive.'

[IronOynx]

No. though some of you short guys can get bigger way faster, i find it cooler when the person is taller and buff.

[islin23]

Short guys can have great physiques as well.

[Ironclad18]

Everyone can have a great physique mate.

[re4l]

They are both great, what matters is how much muscle u have an ur body fat.

[UpInSmoke]

On the contrary, it actually seems like more bodybuilders are shorter. Not too many over 6' in my opinion that are really big for their height, although there are some, don't get me wrong. Like others said, it's easier to look better if you're shorter, as far as putting on muscle goes.
