Do Shorter Guys Actually Have an Advantage In Building Muscle?

Let’s be real. Short guys aren’t winning in too many areas of life.

Whether it’s dating, fighting, gaining respect or whatever, shorter men are at a major disadvantage most of the time.

However, in the gym when we’re trying to build muscle, this is a completely different story.

You hear people saying that shorter men are lucky because they look more muscular, or that it’s easier to fill out their frames.

In this post we’ll take a closer look at whether short men really do have an advantage and easier time building muscle, and what this might mean for you.

First of All: Where Did This Idea Come From?

Tall guys will most likely know how the story goes.

They start out looking pretty skinny and lacking in muscle mass.

They start working out and manage to pack on a bit of muscle.

After a while they look in the mirror and realize that even though they’ve gotten heavier (by gaining muscle), they don’t look that much bigger!

They look at their shorter friends and realize that they look more muscular and well built than they do.
