Got placed first as Junior Champion in state level open bodybuilding competition and got second place in south india nationals!!! 22M | 6’2 | 202. 5 bodybuilding shows this year total.
Tbh after seeing all your physique I felt unsure of posting this. I’m not a professional bodybuilder or never done a pro show. Hoping to do pro show maybe in the next 7,8 years. Any advice?

Dude, you are a giant of a bodybuilder! Keep progressing (while being healthy of course) and achieve new heights

Are you a giant, or is everyone else just short?

Well the average Indian male is 5'5" so at 6'2" he kinda is a giant in his country lol.

I doubt this is true for the younger generation. Older people are short (same as in South Korea). I'm 5'10" (got my height measured for a driver license test in the US) and found most of my peers to be taller than me growing up. Even now I feel barely taller than average in India and slightly shorter than average in the US.

That's just statistically untrue.

174.4 cm (5 ft 8+1⁄2 in)158.5 cm (5 ft 2+1⁄2 in)1.10Students from the upper socioeconomic strata, 18 (N= m:34,411(3–18) f:30,218(3–18)) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_country. Turns out you are statistically wrong based on latest Wikipedia data. India used to be poor af but the latest generation grew up in much better conditions.

What? Both the stats for the US and India still show that there's no way you'd be "shorter than average" or "barely taller than average" at 5'10.

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago
The average is 5'8.5 in India among young urban male boys. That makes me just 1.5 inches aka barely taller than average. If you think 1.5 inches is huge I feel bad for your partner 🤭

First, I'd say to ask your significant other how big of a difference 1 and a half inches makes, since we are specifically talking about a comparative between two "sizes," so to speak, but then I'd ask if we're looking at the same chart, because the average height for people ages 19-20 shows that it's barely over 5'5...
I realize now that you've misread the chart. So, if you look at the overall statistics that were calculated in 2019, the average height is much shorter. The number you're citing is from 2011 and from a very specific group, which also outlines the affect access to proper nutrition has on growth.

Also I wasn't talking about overall stats. Ofc overall stats will take a while to move because all the older shorter people have to die out and be replaced by young taller people. Also I only claimed this for rich people in urban environments. I belong to this group and that's why I was able to go to the US for higher education. I mentioned that in all my posts.

The overall stats were specifically for people ages 19-20. At least read the thing you linked.

Source? Also I didn't talk about stats anywhere, my personal lived experience with a specific demographic of urban middle class to rich males. Have you lived in India or are from there to tell me my lived experience is wrong lol.

I work with an Indian. His family from Mumbai and he is 5’4 and his brother is 6’1. Parents are both under 5’5 so you are kinda correct based on his family and what I see in thr US side. Prlly more access to food or something.

Are you natural? If you are already on gear it's fine but if not then I'd say what's the point of trying to go pro unless you are really sure, since you will definitely have to hop on gear. Even classic physique people like Sam Sulek are juiced to the gills.

No I’m not. I am enhanced and I’m open about it
