It is a stereotype indeed that Black people are extremely tall and such. Curiously, I had got to met a lot of african-american pals who aren't even around the average height of a male around the world. Most of these pals have been at lowest 5'1" (as me) or at highest 5'5", most of them being around 5'4". Are they really African-American or straight African? That question might revolve around your head at first since we all know that there are some places with malnourishment in Africa, yet the answer is partially no. Most of them are Black people from the States, a few of them have been from mother Africa (and surprisingly I don't mean Congo or some central country, instead they come from the richest places of Africa such as Nigeria). Well, my question is up. Is there any black pal, regardless of their home-country, in the forum?

Seriously? That's great! It seems that mostly asians and latinos (and one or another white guy unsatisfied with their height) take the risks of LL, but I had seen no history of a black guy doing LL...

P.S.: As for the guy who was around my height, I remember how childish I looked next to him. He wasn't even bulked up, he was just... older I guess (we were about the same age). Probably because he had a bit more weight or idk. Yet he didn't seem to have a problem with it. He always joked about his height in the group, as well as he had a great social status. He was in the football team.

Lol I was just kidding, man. It makes me feel bad though, as you got so excited. I'm actually half-Hispanic and half-European (Polish and German).

However, you should really hit the gym, my friend; it will definitely give you the appearance of larger proportions (bigger shoulders, forearms, etc.). Remember: Stronglifts 5x5.

Haha damn it you got me, I would still surprise me if I found out that a black guy was opting to do LL. It would be so couragous and brave. We short guys even need to diverse ourselves lol.

We have plenty of almost every ethnicity on this site lol--but you're right, not many blacks.

If I'm not mistaken, the original owner of old forum A was actually black. But most Caucasian men and African men are of ample height so it seems that CLL is redundant for them.

old forum A was indeed black. He said his dark skin made the scarring from LL more noticeable, initially, but after a while his scars were completely undetectable.
