Well for this I don’t think it matters. Your tendons don’t get a pump.
For gauging progress I do cold, flexed at 90 degrees. With that I’m 16.75. pumped at a 45 degree angle I could get into the 17s.

Pumped doesn’t count. With a wicked pump I can probs measure close to 16 in
Also aren’t you like 5’9 @blshaw… that’s not short, it’s like 1.5 inches off the average… I mean four inches taller than the avg male height
So this is what I would consider torso dominant, comparable to the way I’m proportioned
People like this, while you can easily look very good, huge in long sleeved clothing/ anything that covers the lack of arm… we will always pale in comparison to the aesthetical achievements of our arm domanint bros… without synthol, implants or brief spot enhancing shots lo

Hey… me too
Na the only people I laugh at are the guys in the world he gym who are small or “normal” decked out every strap, wrap and sweatband you can imagine. Screaming “light weight” at the end of each set (Brad Castleberry)
Lol we have a guy at our gym always screams “light weight baby!” before dead lifting. It’s pretty funny though cuz he does it for grins.

@unreal24278 Lol no… I claim to be 5’7” as all us super short guys do. My wife is almost the same height but thank god she doesn’t like heels haha.
Not a manlet myself 5’10" but sometimes I like the idea of moving somewhere were the average height is 5’5" or so. Also if I sold my house I would be close to retirement in those areas.
Hey if the average height is 5’5 in any developed country for men… sign me up
I claim to be 5’5 because I am (5’4.95) so rounded
Certain shoes make me 5’7 though so that’s pretty great, just got a pair of boots that make me 5’8 (they’re these steel toed boots with spikes on the top and a pentagram attatched to the laces)
I could likely retire or retire in a few years to sunny Honduras. I would get to feel like Thor. I have actually researched several South American countries for retirement. I’m low 30s now, so I’ll probably wait a couple of years.
@unreal24278 Nike Air Max Max shoes add a bit more than an inch, and look completely normal. Slip in a half inch insole and you are close to 2 inches in a tennis shoe.
@mnben87 One of my buddies did that for about 5 years. Saved up a couple hundo and moved to South America to live like a king for awhile. Ran out of money but had a blast or so he says.
@unreal24278 I’m about the same in that I’m a hair under but a fine hair lol. Unlike a lot of short dudes I’m proportional so lots of people guess me a little taller.
I think right now I would be living pretty poor to do it sustainably. I think with 6-8 hundred k invested it could be done sustainably and with a good standard of life. Depends on the country a bunch. I’ve heard Columbia is very cheap, but higher crimes.
