I’m now too jacked

Ovnidos · 2021-04-13T18:46:45+00:00

The real problem here is that you still give a fuck what other people think.

It's all about utility. Is being jacked helping you get laid more? If yes, then who gives a fuck what other people think.

lIIllll · 2021-04-13T18:02:56+00:00

Haha yeah you’re right short jacked guys are like a meme.

My advice would be do some cardio and lean up. At least to the point where you don’t look like a jacked spongebob.

Also if you don’t like cardio maybe play a contact sport. Short jacked guys are in high demand due to weight and low centre of gravity. You’ll meet some RP type guys and you’ll lean up.

tiverma · 2021-04-13T19:28:02+00:00

I think this falls into the "good problem to have" category.

It's better to be the short guy who's jacked than the guy whos' just short.

If you’re on steroids come off if you’re that concerned. If you’re not on steroids you’re not as big as you think.

IamEins · 2021-04-13T18:14:23+00:00

Fuck what people think!

You like being jacked, thats all that matters.

The people that dont like it are jealous and not your friends.

Musicgoon · 2021-04-13T19:52:20+00:00

I don't think being jacked is a problem. Sounds like you're still insecure about your height.

Learn to love yourself. People talk shit. Especially haters that are jealous of your muscles. They want you to stop lifting so they don't feel like a loser or pussy. Also A&A or pressure flip will work wonders if someone is busting your balls.

RPOpenUp · 2021-04-13T20:16:20+00:00

People are gonna mock you, deal with it

New_Guard · 2021-04-13T18:11:44+00:00

Is that a bad thing? You can either be the short guy, or the short guy who's very muscular. I know a chick who's 5'4" who really likes tall guys, but dated a dude who was also 5'4" because he was so muscular that he still felt sufficiently big to her.

LeatherBoundWisdom · 2021-04-13T19:06:58+00:00

You'll never look worse jacked unless you're jacked beyond being aesthetic, which usually requires steroids. Becoming more aesthetic is a strict improvement and always the right decision - keep lifting.

This idea of "short + jacked = compensating" is nonsense. When people, especially girls, say shit about you for x reason, the reason itself is arbitrary and meaningless, just an excuse for expressing that they don't like you. If you have good game girls will say you're built and hawt. If your game is shit they'll say you're compensating. If a hot guy commits a crime they'll say he's a "bad boy." If an ugly guy commits a crime they'd say he's good for nothing scum of the earth. It is a classic beta trap to take the reasons seriously, and try to improve based on them only to find out that it was all bullshit.

If you lost muscle they'd just come up with another reason to dislike you I guarantee it.

Keep lifting and improve your game, fashion, and other elements of your social resume.

You’re making excuses. Work on your frame and find a way to play along with this.

Ovnidos · 2021-04-14T02:23:40+00:00

You gotta play 3D chess here, if they think you are compensating for your height then go bald. Boom, now they'll think you are compensating for your baldness.

Get it? People that don't lift focus on stupid shit about others that do to feel good about their non-lifting weak ass bodies and minds.

ChiBron86 · 2021-04-14T00:10:36+00:00

Unless you are using steroids, then no, you are not "too jacked". Genuinely natty body builders who dedicate their life to weights don't get too big, so I sincerely doubt you have.

berttbeans996 · 2021-04-14T01:54:08+00:00

Dress better

Don’t let bodybuilding be your only identity. Develop another one or two

AA7 · 2021-04-13T19:40:19+00:00

They're shit testing you. You can never be too jacked unless you're blasting

Hard-Truth7 · 2021-04-14T03:35:14+00:00

Fuck them man do whatever makes you happy. Do you not like how jacked you are? Easy solution eat less and do more cardio. Do you like how jacked you are? Then screw them and keep going. Do whatever you want that makes you the most happy.

“Using muscles to compensate for size.” Listen man you don’t want anything to do with anyone who thinks that way, it is a very dumb way to think. Apply it to anything else: “Oh he’s just amazing at guitar to compensate for being short. Oh he’s just rich to compensate for being short.” “Oh, he is 6 foot tall and rich? He must have a small penis, that’s why he’s not secure enough to be a lazy pathetic loser like myself.”

Insecure people will tear you down any way they can. They are like vicious pathetic little hyenas. Don’t let them get to you. Keep your frame bro. Meditate and do deep frame work and do what you want.

Aubrey_D_Graham · 2021-04-13T21:02:56+00:00

Maybe get a new set of friends? Surround yourself with people who appreciate you for what you produce.

drewcer · 2021-04-13T21:48:51+00:00

I say fuck the h8rs do what you want.

lolomotif12 · 2021-04-13T21:53:40+00:00

Who gives a fuck what other people think OP.

Procedure88 · 2021-04-14T00:08:28+00:00

I have never once seen a guy at the gym and thought he is compensating his height with being jacked, to think like that seems like some insecure blue pill bullshit to me

2021-04-14T03:50:30+00:00

You’re never too jacked, what kind of beta nonsense is that.

-Bran- · 2021-04-14T03:58:52+00:00

Try not to get too wide on the shoulders. When you’re short you’ll look odd. Same with super bulky legs, makes legs look shorter

cheesypongas · 2021-04-14T05:52:53+00:00

Wow, you give a fuck about what others think. You know what? All of the others are useless slobs with man boobs who can’t even complete a set with a one kilogram dumbbell and they’re just jealous you can do it. Crab mentality. Just don’t give a fuck and keep at it, King. (For reference I’m 19M 5’5”)

how jacked are you on how much bfp ?
jeremy buendia is a short jacked guy

and my fucking grandma is a short jacked person too!

but you know the difference right?

body fat matters a lot .

DerpJungler · 2021-04-13T19:54:28+00:00

Dude being jacked does not build your identity unless you want it to (being a pro bodybuilder or smth).

Work on your personality if that's what you're worried about and stop giving a fuck about what others think. It looks like these are all assumptions based on your insecurities.

And that's okay. Just accept your insecurities, work on your personality and keep lifting weights. Build the physique you feel comfortable with.

PatternEast7185 · 2021-04-14T04:36:51+00:00

are you ripped or bodyfat? are you natty?

mattalsosaid90 · 2021-04-14T06:15:26+00:00

You're sounding like a beta cuck
