    Thumbs up height and bulking target weight?

    im 17 and Im 5'7, 134lbs at the moment. First I want to ask if 5'7 is that short for a 17 year old, is it so short that it will have an effect on me with girls?? second I was actually 121 lbs about three months ago and I have been bulking to 134lb right now and I was wondering what weight should I bulk till (maybe 140lb??) so that when I start cutting I will get that lean look?

    Cheers

    I am the same height as you (173cm).
    It is average (more or less).
    Depends, if you date tall girls or girls that are shorter than you; tall girls with short guys = no good.
    Bulk more. 134 is not enough. I remember when I started I was like "I'll bulk maximum until 62, then cut to 58". Then I was like "ok to 66kg". Later on: "68-70" Eventually I reached 72.5kg (happy enough, then started cutting). I learnt that one needs mass in order to cut; you can't drive a car without petrol :P
    More pain, more gain.

    don't be self conscious about your height, most girls are about your height and shorter there's plenty more things girls look for...
    you could use a lot more mass to fill your body out; you may or may not still have some growth left in you at 17 dudes can keep growing till about 25 i think. the more mass you have the less lean you have to be to look good as well, how cut are you looking to get?

    Depends on where you live, but 5'7 is short-average height. As you're only 17 you will probably grow some more and as Noise suggested, bulk.

    I'm 5'4" and weigh more than you, you're going to have gain a lot more because well you're taller than I am, and I know I'm not completely satisfied with my lean look. My ideal for a lean look at my height would be 140lbs, but at like 7%body fat. In my opinion, I think your ideal weight for being lean should be around 155-165lbs.

    5'7" is pretty short.
    Bulking target weight?
    For you IMO, 160-170.
