do manlets genuinely have an advantage while lifting??
>>37011384
smaller range of motion due to short stubby limbs. at the end of the day, no matter how shredded they get theyll always be manlets
>>37011384
YES
1 week at 5'5" and you look like you lift
Meanwhile, at 6'5", I've been lifting for over a year and I barely look like I've touched a weight (especially with a shirt on) due to my HEIGHT and lanklet FRAME
>>37011384
theres this one manlet at my gym, 4 feet or something, not even a midget. he takes all the benches like a roach when he wants to reach the pullup bar
>>37011384
yeah, both aesthetically and strength wise
>>37011384
This is just 'being taller and bitter' but yeah.
Less distance to go, musculature is closure together and you're hitting it a lot easier.
My squats have to go deeper because of my longer legs. My bench has to rise higher because of my lanky arms.
It's a fuckin' drag, bro.
>>37011567
>taller
>bitter
pick one
>>37011479
>short stubby limbs
But that only matters in relation to the rest of your body.
How would it make a difference if the proportions are the same.
>>37011384
Only for things like deadlift and clean.
Since they are shorter, it is like the bar is on bigger plates.
I would say a manlet deadlifting with 25lb plates instead of 45lbs would be comparable to a ländler deadlifting with 45lbers
>>37011590
>manlet memes aren't derived from virgin gym cell anklet saltiness
>>37011384
>2m tall
>work out for a year
>still cant do a single pull up
it aint fair
>>37011610
Gymcel lanklet**
Fucking autocorrect
>>37011384
yeah, its not huge though. I'm 5'9 and put a lot more muscle on faster than my friends who are taller, but even for my height I have lanky limbs so I'm fugged either way
>>37011613
How would height have to do with a pull up.
A short man with proportionally long arms would have a bigger problem, because he has more rom.
But unless you are tall, AND your arms are unusually long, it shouldn't make a difference at all.
Even then, you should be able to do at least 10 pull ups if you even lift.
>>37011613
stop thats no excuse im 190 cm and went from no pullups to 10 in a month u must be fat
Of course.
>>37011653
fuck do i know nigga
it just doesnt work. im 106kg and im still doing 70kg bench press
atleast i look a little good when flexing
>>37011636
Have you considered
1. Your lanklet friends diet and workout programming are inferior
2. The same amount of muscle looks like more on a smaller frame?
3. Your friends don't even
>>37011613
I'm 6'3" and I can do 15 full range/no kipping pullups
How much you weigh?
>>37011590
6ft-6ft1 is the sweet spot for height, fuck off with your memes
unless you're willing to juice
aesthetic 184cm > lanky 195cm any day of the week
>>37011667
>fat as fuck
>benches babby weight
So.. You don't even lift?
I bench 100kg at 79kg bodyweight.
>>37011597
>But that only matters in relation to the rest of your body.
>How would it make a difference if the proportions are the same.
are you legitimately retarded?
>moving a 100kg barbell 20cm
>moving a 100kg barbell 40cm
you honestly think those are equally difficult?
>tfw 5"8 but have the armspan of a fucking 6" eagle so I have the disadvantages of a lanlet but the appearance of a manlet.
I know I was supposed to be 6", what the fuck went wrong?
>>37011667
Post pic of yourself flexing.
I am trying to expand my "delusional fatties who lift" folder
>>37011669
Yeah actually, I have a really strict diet and they eat like shit, lift like shit, but I guess you phrased it right, the same amount of muscle looks like more on my frame
>>37011696
>moving a bar from your sternum to locked out arm extension
>moving a bar from your sternum to locked out arm extension
Yes, it is the same.
Range of motion isn't objective, it is relative.
>>37011730
so you're genuinely retarded then
nice
>>37011730
lanky people have shitty leverages and it's harder for them to put on the same muscle mass relative to their bodies
>>37011708
it's weird because it doesnt even look that bad
>>37011384
yes, both in aesthetics (when there's no one nearby to dwarf them) and in actual weight lifted
in terms of leverages and ROM a 5'5 manlet will have to exert significantly less work than a 6'5 manmore
the manlet's body also has a smaller surface area so the same amount of muscle will look like a lot more muscle on his frame than on the taller guy
>>37011610
Well no they come from women.
>>37011762
i see the problem you were born without lats
>>37011730
Rom is relative but that doesn't ignore what that fucking means in the first place. Let's take the extreme for example
Shaq is going to have to move the bar and weight a hell of a lot farther than mini me. If Shaq is only doing half reps, then his rom isn't as great as Mini Me's though he is still moving the bar way farther than MM.
>>37011757
Lots of manlets have lanky arms.
Lots of lanklets have stubby arms.
>>37011762
>doesn't even look that bad
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>37011730
but mechanical principles are very objective, you fucking muppet
>what are leverages
>>37011597
it's easier for taller people to DL because we have longer arms.
I can only bench 150, but i DL 350. Still weak, but relative to my other lifts it's a lot
6'6"
>>37011762
Those womanly love handles though. Slap some tits on there and you have a girl bod.
>>37011816
chin ups dont work either ;_;
>>37011824
>Lots of manlets have lanky arms.
>Lots of lanklets have stubby arms.
>Lots
And how much is that? The majority? Where are you taking those statistics from? Why do you have a single digit IQ in this age of information?
>>37011835
Leverages are a result proportion, not objective size.
Do you even know what leverage means?
>>37011824
was more talking about leg length
>>37011824
to use your stupid fucking relativity argument, a lanky arm on a manlet is going to be longer relative to his body than a stubby arm is on a lanklet
guess which arm is actually longer? (hint: it's not the manlets arm)
>>37011762
you forgot leg day again bro
>>37011859
>the majority?
Probably close to 50%
>>37011384
In weight, yes. In the fact that they have to ask females for help to reach the tallest shelf, no.
>>37011384
In terms of relative strength: yes. Not as far as absolute strength is concerned.
>>37011871
>falling for the leg day / ss meme
>>37011881
>look at this epic number i pulled out of my ass
[citation needed]
>>37011866
Objective length doesn't affect leverage.
Ratios and proportions do
>>37011889
Proportions aren't dictated by height, genius.
>>37011384
I dont get it. what does smaller range of motion have to do with there gains???? they still have to push rhe weight to there level ( for example: bench press) are you fags retarded or what
>>37011871
He also forgot back, chest, shoulders, arms, core
>>37011519
That's because you don't eat, gain some weight skeleman

>>37011920
Fit is literally to dumb to understand the concept of leverage being proportional
>>37011906
I never implied it did
I just called you out for spewing statistical bullshit, which you still haven't provided a source for
>>37011860
i did not say leverages specifically were objective. it's pretty pathetic you have so few arguments that you have to resort to strawmen.
a manlet with proportionally average arm length will have to do less work to bench the same weight with full ROM than a lanklet with proportionally average arm length. that is the end. this is a scientific fact. you cannot dispute this, so take your butthurt elsewhere.
>>37011949
>butthurt
Why, because I don't use my height as an excuse to be a weak little bitch?!?
This whole thread reeks of weak minded faggots looking for a scapegoat to be physically weak
>>37011698
poor nutrition.
My wife's brother is the same way; he's like 5'9" with a 6'+ wingspan.
>>37011973
turbomanlet detected
>>37011762
Dude. You look bad.
You look like me, but fatter; I haven't lifted in 6 months, and feel super guilty about it, but at least I'm not you.
>>37012001
Kek.
am 6ft, and lift with a buddy who is 6'3
We both out lift everyone at our gym (because nobody in Alaska even lifts), even the manlets and turbomanlets.
In fact, I have never even seen a manlet press more than 1pl8
I have seen a couple tallbros do it, and my and my buddy both can.
I will say I have kinda stubby arms compared to my 6'3 friend, but I also train harder and smarter than him. He never could into linear progression
>>37011730
F*D=W
Work is force times distance. This is suuuuper basic physics, we're not even talking about lever arms here. If you have to apply the same force over a greater distance, it's going to require more work to complete by definition.
In the real world, if I have longer arms than you, and we're both doing full ROM reps, my bar is going to have to move farther than yours to complete a rep, which means BY DEFINITION, I will have performed more work than you.
>>37011613
try not being a fatass
>>37012065
>trying to convince a single digit IQ owner that laws of physics exist
don't bother
this is the same kind of "person" that makes youtube videos about how the earth is flat
>>37011945
The 50% was meant to imply it is evenly distributed and not dictated by height. It wasn't intended as a specific figure
5'10" - 6'00" is the ideal hight for a human male
>>37012065
bigger frame = more muscle, relative work decreases
I know that in general shorter people have it easier but to flat out say that it's double as hard for someone with double the ROM is retarded
lifting in general greatly depends on your guhnetiks, saying all people shorter than you are at an advantage is retarded
Almost all of the strongest lifters in every field (strongman, oly, I actually don't know or give a shit about pl) aren't manlets.
This thread is just excuses for the weak-minded
>>37012107
for aesthetics it's 6ft-6ft1
t. 5ft11 manlet
>>37012130
>being on /fit/ so long you actually honk an inch of height affects aesthetics
This place is pure psychological poison, it's hilarious
