The main advice given here is “lift”. When it comes to short-average height guys in my opinion it should be “lift, but aim for aesthetics”.

I’m 5’9 and been lifting for 4 years. I’m 71kg (158lbs) with 11-12% bodyfat. Taller guys could get jacked as fuck and still look good, while short guys risk looking stocky and unaesthetic. (it’s just my opinion of course)

The ideal physique should be like Mark Walhberg’s body when he was young. Lean and not too jacked.

What the short guys here think about it?
