Do short muscular guys look good?
Yeah, if you buff up a lot, you could look weird. But a buffed up guy of 6′ will also look weird. If you got a nice form, and get lean, you’ll look better… and taller (You know, get ripped makes you look taller). You just have to take a lot of care of the size and form you get in gym.
Does Bodybuilding make you look shorter?
Bodybuilding has no effect on height. It will not help you to grow taller, nor will it make you shorter. The idea that exercising as a child can stunt your growth is also untrue (though there is a caveat to this).
Is it easier for shorter guys to gain muscle?
Short people don’t have it easier to get muscle but because their limbs are shorter, the muscles they develop appear larger. Their muscles have a shorter distance to travel from joint to joint so they don’t get stretched and are fuller/fatter, less stretched.

Is being 5 foot 4 too short for a bodybuilder?
Franco Columbu, who many think of as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time was just 5 foot 4 inches tall. Being short is actually an advantage when it comes to lifting.

How can I look taller as a man?
Taller men are ‘leggier’ – more of their body is leg. So if you want to know how to look taller – STOP wearing things that visually SHORTEN your legs. You want your waistline at your waistline – not your crotch. That means no untucked shirts unless they end at your hip bones or are designed for short men.
Why do short people lift weights better?
Good thing, because people who lift live longer. Basically, short (er) men can make faster progress and transform their bodies far quicker than taller guys with a similar training regimen — they see the results quicker, and actually end up stronger pound-for-pound.
