Size appearance doesnt equal actual mass? for me

Aikines is also 5’9," which makes him pretty damn big for his height. Bolt has said he is over 210lbs.

To the OP, you’re likely short as hell (and or anorexic) and stand next to people who are taller than you, but the same weight. Look at pictures of Aikines, most would put him at 220 lbs…until they realized how tall he was.

Or, you carry more weight in your upper body than most (doubtful) and as this is what people look at to compare size, you look bigger.

Regardless, if you’re standing next to someone of the same height, of similar proportions, who is 20 lbs heavier than you and not a tub of lard, you don’t look bigger than them.

I’m 5’9, I carry quite a lot of mass in my thighs/glutes. However my arms are below average in length, but they’re not noticably short…
I do have very large pecs/shoulders, which I guess explains it lol.

But the other thing was, on the scale I put on maybe a pound, and people think I look bigger right away.
