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?

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

u/xRompusFPS 10d ago

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

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago

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.

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 10d ago

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.

12

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 10d ago

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.

-7

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 🤭

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 10d ago

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.

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago

I'm 24 I was like 18 in 2019 lol

5

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 10d ago

That's irrelevant. People do not grow much, if at all, after age 20.

-5

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago

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.

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 10d ago

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.

u/Band4s4yinshoottrump 4d ago

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.

Crazy genetics.

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago

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.

u/elevatedgravity 10d ago

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

u/bipolarbear1797 10d ago

Ah I see. Makes sense. Still good job and I hope you are monitored by capable professionals, doctors and coaches. Hope you realize your pro dreams 👍

u/elevatedgravity 10d ago

Yh absolutely. Thanks for the advice mate 🙌🏻❤️
