OK so I'm 190 cm tall and weigh about 80 kg. I also go to gym regularly and have 15% body fat.
Why the hell do I look like borderline DYEL when 180/75 guys look fit?
Do these 10 cm make that much difference???
Pic - not me but that's pretty much how my body looks.

You weigh 80 kg, that's why
>tfw 6'2 195 cutting down to 180-185
i seriously hope i dont look that dyel in my 180s

But guys who are 10 cm shorter than me but also weigh 5 kg less basically have my goal body.
I'm not gonna complain about being tall cause being tall is awesome but I thought maybe I'm just doing something wrong or maybe it's just genetics?

As the guy above said, you're not heavy enough.
Go with the rule of 10: for every 10 cm above the 1m mark, you should add 10kg to your weight.
If you keep training consistently and reach that weight in, say, a year, you might actually look like your goal body.
Bone structure
Muscle insertions
Head size

I used to be 70kg 1.90 and look'd like your pic related bout a year ago lol
I think you're way above 15%bf & you have big legs because that's the weight gain for most newbies.

OP here
I am 15% bodyfat as I know (got tested).
I do have grasshopper legs though :(
yeah 80kg at 6'2 aint much soz
>>41079669
I gained about 9 kilos of muscle and look almost the same. Muscle is pretty fucking dense, and those guys probably have way less than 15% bf.

Yes. Yes it does.
Short guys can look ripped effortlessly because they don't need to spread their muscle over a very large/long frame.
Wanna look big (fit/strong) at 180cm? You need to shoot for 100kg (15% body fat is fine). 100kg.
AT LEAST 90kg, but that's just a start.

Tested with what? If it's underwater weighing or a DXA scan, that number is probably correct within 2%. If anything else, it's only as good as eyeballing.

probably cause the 180cm 75 kg guy has more muscle and is leaner than you
You need to be at least 90 kg at 10-12.5 % bodyfat to look somewhat non-DYEL
