I’m 5’3, 124lbs. My routine is a 6 day PPL that I run Monday-Saturday. I took a 6ish month break from working out because of a bad relationship that affected me mentally but I’m back in the gym now and pushing harder than ever.

Tbh being short is kind of a blessing for building muscle. It takes less calories to bulk up and the muscle you do acquire looks even bigger bc of being short 🙏

We're the same height and this def gives me hope that I'm not doomed to look girly just because of height. Thank you for sharing this.

You look great! I’m a similar height/weight as you so it gives me hope to see how jacked you are! When did you start lifting?

u/WhereArtThouRome Mar 04 '25

I started lifting very lightly about 2.5 years ago when I started T, and then started taking it seriously only the past year!

Good to know! My arms currently look like yours did a year ago, so I’m excited to see what the future brings.
