I am 5 feet tall, and my weight usually ranges from 110 to 120, and I have never gotten seriously injured from exercising. Worst thing was a 4 to 5 day muscle strain on one of my glutes. I have been lifting for about 5 years (usually high intensity, training to failure) and have been running (mid to long distance, high intensity again) for about 4. There's also been times when I have fallen over and like genuinely not even felt any pain. I also think the lower amount of mass helps minimize the force that you experience when you stub your toe which should in theory minimize the pain you feel. Sometimes I do feel a little indestructible ngl. Granted I'm still pretty young.

Also, for my fellow short people out there (mainly the guys), if you are being disrespected for your height, you have no need to continue engaging with the person. If the game isn't fair, play a better game.

Dude, I watched your pelvic tilt video and I have been doing the exercises for about a month. It’s basically fully fixed. Thnx!❤️

Just here representing us vertically challenged bros. 👊 In all seriousness, this was a really interesting video Lucas.

When I was a kid I really wanted to play in the NBA. I played and practiced growing up until the age of 16 when I noticed I was not going to grow any more. Realising you can't play in a certain sport due to your height is very VERY devastating.

Never thought I’d date a guy shorter than me as a 5’7 female. Then I did. He was that confident type you mention. And ever since I swear I have a fetish for short guys!!! Seriously to all the shorter guys out there, u may just have an advantage that no tall man can ever experience too. It goes both ways trust me embrace ❤❤

I will attest to #8, at 51years old and 5'7'' I'm still able to move around like I did in my 20-30's, with zero pain!!!

Thanks for the confidence boost, my gf is 2 inches talker than me and it always makes me feel insecure, especially when she wears heels. Anyone else in the same situation, keep your head up high, height doesnt matter in a relationship especially when laying down ;)

when i think about it, the only bad parts to being short are: 1). disadvantage in some sports 2). harder time dating. comparing 10 pros to 2 cons isn't so bad. to quote the other guy, angled gaze, "if the game isn't fair, find a better game". there's a lot of great short dancers and people who can do crazy flips like pigmie. just focus on places where your height is advantage

[rustynjarvis]

I'm probably one of the shortest people in my grade, but for some reason I actually really enjoy it

Edit: also great video 👍

Being Tall is like Playing Life on Easy Mode, And only Losers finish a game on easy.

My dad is 70 years old 5’6 only slightly shorter than me I’m 5’7, former hs wrestler and army vet… he’s pretty unstoppable, as in we remind him how old he is but he doesn’t listen, he still has the drive. He’s only just shifted to gardening and beer making but just 3 months ago he was still climbimg the roof of the house to fix it. His father was even shorter and lived to 95, WW2 vet in Thailand and life long soldier. Meanwhile my grandfather from my mum’s side 6’0 has completely worn out, british navy vet rugby player but it caught up to him

I'm 25 and I'm 5'2. Pretty d4mn nimble and super active. Not necessarily exempt from breaking things, because I have, but does help. Taller people always seem prone to hurting themselves by falling down the lol

Thank you so much Lucas for these tips. When i was in 7th grade people (especially classmates) used to harass me for being short. No one would talk to me & they would treat me inferiorly. Due to that i had to take psychiatric help. My studies got ruined i fought with my parents. Till date no girl talks to me. But still i never give up. I work out everyday & i have one of the best physique. I also study a lot to regain my lost confidence. Thanks once again for these points to make me boost my motivation. 👍👍🔥

Adding to #10, I think Pigmie is on to something. My partner struggles with body positivity/dysmorphia and she can focus on the imperfections of her body like stretchmarks, etc. and she'll ask me "Do you wish I didnt have stretchmarks?" or " do you wish I looked any different?" and I tell her no because I'd rather have someone who has the imperfection and has had to go through the mental struggle of overcoming body imperfections/ "abnormalities" as opposed to someone whos never had anything wrong with them and their bodies are "perfect". (In reality, everyone's body is perfect AND imperfect, stretchmarks are NORMAL and NOT abnormal) I think it makes you a stronger and tougher person, therefore making you more successful and attractive because you truly own it (being short, in the case of this video).

Edit: theres not such thing as "abnormalities". They're only "abnormal" because the media/porn has sold you the idea of what a "perfect" body is. This is what causes eating disorders and body dysmorphia in women

God bless you, this is so beautiful. I’m 6’1 so I ain’t trippin but it’s cool to see you big up all the kings out there who need to hear this

[thetopgcontent]

I haven't watched pigmie in so long and I come back and my guy looking as great as ever

[nikechristopherpoli]

The 11th is that 10kg of muscle looks like a lot more muscle on a short person than it does on a tall person. I look bigger than my friends even though I’m the shortest

[zeeshanafzal]

I've liked this video because it showed how much you cared about your audience from your heart. Amazing man. ✨✨

[UnstopableJayy]

Being short also means you can ride on things and in things better too

[brunogiandinoto]

Thank you as always. You leave no one behind. You are the best big brother. Thanks
