Muscle,Gain weight to look Big, Taller

Edit Post

Guys do you think building muscles and gaining weight will make up for having a short top half of the body. I personally think it wouldn’t look too bad, as having a body builder like big chest, shoulder muscles will make you look big. And as for the arm abit of muscles won’t look too bad.

My goals to gain 5inches and go from 157cm to 167/168cm without shoes. and at a 157cm wingspan I believe it might look weird.
I definitely won’t do humerus/ arm lengthening

Any advice will be fine, big chest and skinny arms won’t look to bad?? What do you guys think ?

Will it be too obvious that I have longgggg lanky legs and short arms.
Will I look like a t-Rex?

Short men have an advantage to gain muscles much easier and if your bones are not small like with many short men, then you could have some big arms like Lee Priest's style which will make you feel much better and many people will look these muscles and not your height and don't consider you as small.
But as I said be careful to not gain much fat. A short fat man is the worse in terms of looks.

So, have a muscular torso and after LL your body will look even better and symmetrical, with relatively long legs and a muscular torso.

Thanks I done my research on most short body builders and athletes. And to me it was the escape I guess. My height is pretty much the same as danny padilla ( the giant killer ).  I’ll take your advice in the fat person thing. I’ll try gain some weight and tone it down/ shredd. And with my arms I’ll try gain abit of muscle, not too big like a body builder as I think it’ll just look like a t-Rex.
