I'm currently a 5' 9" manlet whose focus is on bodybuilding, but I want to get super strong. I'd really enjoy strongman, but was wondering if there'd be any chance for a guy as short as me. Can guys this fucking short get super strong, especially with strongman lifts?
Its very possible anon, look up Jesse Norris, he is 5'9. Obviously he has good genetics, because the guy is a freak.

Successful strongmen are often pretty tall, but there are examples of short ones. Vytautas Lalas, for example, is 5'10 and he had some success. Even got 2nd at worlds strongest man 2012.
There are weight classes in strongman too. I seriously doubt that your length is your main genetic obstacle on the road to winning wsm.

Are there any unique challenges that short power lifters/strongmen would face in their training that taller guys wouldn't?
Signed up at the local civic center today for 20 bucks a month which aint bad but holy shit the equipment is terrible. I'm in tennessee And my options are extremely limited. The gym is a really small square with brolen equipment and packed. And its a 1 year contract. Or I can sign up at a planet fitness without a contract for 10 bucks a month plus a 39 dollar annual service fee but I can cancel at any time. However, no barbells. Help me out guys.. What should I do?

If youre serious about strength stay with your current gym. If you just wanna be healthy and look good go to planet fitness

You want help, but we can't make you not stupid.
Hey /fit/
I've always had a big and flappy ass. My body is relatively lean but my ass is disproportional big and fat.
I'm not sure if this comes from sitting down most of the day (job is on computer), or maybe low test.
It also looks worse with my minor anterior pelvic tilt.
I've wanted to lift again but I am concerned that if I gain weight for muscle that my ass will get worse.
If I squat will my ass get leaner and tighter? Or will it just grow? Will cardio help?
Anyone ever deal with this problem? Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
I'm 5'11 and 182lbs. I used to be around 200lb but lost weight to fix the above. My ass has gotten better but I lost a good bit of my muscle.
I would rather have a fat fucking ass than a flat one. Chicks actually dig them OP.
>>35317698
I've heard this but my mind can't comprehend it.
I think most girls imply a big tight ass.
This picture shows roughly what I look like clothed. Unclothed, it's indeed saggy and shit.
bump because i'm getting desperate

What did you do besides stand up
Hey guys. I'm suffering from cystic acne on my cheeks and jaw and I'm almost certain it's from weight lifting.
I've tried over the counter treatments. Nothing. I've tried home remedies like apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and baking soda. Nothing. So the what I'm trying now is changing my diet. I eat clean and drank a gallon of water a day but I've cut out dairy and whey. I see a little difference but it may just be a placebo effect.
I dont know what to do. I can't afford accutane or the generic stuff. I really don't want to stop lifting. I've read that it has something to do with hormones being produced from lifting causing an imbalance which in turn causes acne.
Any advice? Fucking desperate here.
Tl;dr
>have cystic acne
>think it's due to lifting (hormone imbalances)
>tried over the counter and home remedies
>have good hygiene and clean diet, drink plenty of water and get 8 hrs of sleep
>can't afford accutane or generics
>need help
Pic related. My current acne today
If its due to lifting then it could be due to change in your diet that benefits your lifting lifestyle, whey protein can cause acne for example. It may be a hygiene issue and maybe you should just wash your face with cold water after the gym.
And here's my current diet
Breakfast: granola, raw oats, whole eggs and egg whites, turkey bacon, egg white protein shake blended with banana
Lunch: tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread and light mayo, Apple with PB
Dinner: grilled chicken breast with bag of steamable veggies

I fucking love tuna. I could happily eat 4-5 cans of it a day, forever. Instead I eat around 6-7 cans a week because i'm concerned about mercury poisoning.
How much tuna do you guys consider safe to eat?
>>35317229
2 cans a week MAX unless you want dementia.
>>35317265
Source? Sounds to me like you're full of shit.
>>35317229
A guy on a fb forum ate 3-4 cans a day for 8 months, his test showed his Hg levels was sky high. The doc insisted he didnt eat more tuna

Alright, as many before me I fell for the deadlift meme and hurt my back, I've been out of the gym for three weeks now and it's not improving at all. I'm bored as shit. What am I supposed to do with all this free time? I have literally 0 hobbies.
here is what i spend my time on

>deadlift meme

Would /fit/ buy and eat?

>tfw no High Test Girl Friend chicken legs
>>35316874
Not only would I not buy, you couldn't even pay me to eat that.
>>35316889
free range organic meat? sure you're a tiny minuscular bit better than OP, but you're still delusional if you think you're being healthy. Just to clarify, you can't be healthy and eat meat. Come at me.
right, I normally don't bother debating whether people are natty or not but I honestly have no clue with David laid. He's only 17 and benches 315 and in some photos he's absolutely shredded but he looks pretty skinny on his yt videos. What you think /fit/?
I've seen natties with that form, although not necessarily at 17 - how long is he in it?
In any case: What does it matter, such an extreme shoulder to hip ratio is extremely rare and probably nobodies reading this has those genetics (pic also related)
>>35316806
When I was 17 I hit 325 but I wasnt shredded
>>35316752
He has bretty good lighting and he's touching up his pictures, to make him look a bit better.
He's still looking pretty fucking good for his age.
