Long Lean Muscles

Achrya

I want long lean muscles. I've heard yoga, barre, and various stretches are the trick to lengthening my muscles, but I'm not sure on the specifecs, but it seems legit enough. Up til now I've been lifting and that's cool, but I'm still kinda short you know? Has anyone gotten a long lean dancer like body this way?

NO

the only way that I know is to get four horses; you then tie a rope from each limb to each horse; and you then have them all run off at the same time…boom, long lean muscle….note, that you may suffer slight dislocation of joints from bone..but this is only temporary..

I hear mini-trampolines do wonders.

oh, I forgot one .."the rack" where they basically tie you into this wheel like thingy and slowly spin it….totally gets your lean muscle mass….

Thank you. I've heard amazing things about mini trampolines, actually. I'll be sure to try it.

I've also heard the stair stepper will give me the kind of body all women want. Confirm/deny?

Try staying upside down as long as possible while facing North. Gravity and the earth's axis will help lengthen the bones and muscles over time.

I've never tried it...I'm afraid it will make me bulky

Muscle belly shape is genetic. You can stretch them using any number of techniques, sure, but the muscle belly will only change a miniscule amount. I've never seen a single person change their muscle shape noticeably over any number of years.

But maybe this was a troll post. /shrug

Trampolines do make women bulky. I would steer-clear.

Well we wouldn't want that. It's basically the opposite of lean and long. Darn.

Do you know anyone who's tried? Because all the Barre websites promise to change my body. That is literally the phrasing "Change your Body."

Duh, this is why people are taller now.

Don't assume that someone is being rude, missy. I mean, aren't we all here for the same thing? :flowerforyou:

I found this link helpful. Maybe you will too.

ETA: I don't know how credible this is, but it sounded legit.

What do donuts have to do with anything? Everyone knows it's exercise, not what you eat, that makes all the difference! That's why people are all 'I did Zumba and lost a billion pounds' or 'I need 30 day shred success stories.' But not 'I need moderate deficit success stories'.

Think about it

Exactly! Seriously, if I were 6' tall, I'd already be at my goal weight.

This whole diet and exercise BS is freaking time consuming.

I hear 4 horses I equate apocalypse

I used to be 5'1" and large framed. Then I did lots of Barre and pilates and stuff and now I'm 6'1" and small framed (yes is shrunk my ribcage and shoulders too) and I've just landed a contract with one of the top supermodel agencies. Yay for me :drinker: you'll see me on the catwalk being a tall, gracile walking coathanger now. And I didn't starve myself either. The calories went into all the bone regrowth that's required to grow an entire foot (the calcium necessary for that came from the bone that it took from my rib cage and shoulder bones to shrink them). My muscles are the same size as they were at 5'1" so now they're much longer and more stretched out. But that's okay because they were too big before and who cares about functionality, right?. So problems solved..... you really can totally change the shape of your skeleton with the right approach to exercise. There's absolutely no need whatsoever to get in a time machine and capture your mother just after she conceived you and remove the blastocyst that will become you and genetically engineer yourself to have the height, frame size and shape of muscle that you want. No need for that at all. Just do Barre and pilates. And as for using the time machine to partake in medieval torture... that's just a quick fix. You'll stretch out all your bones and muscles, but then they'll shrink again after a while and you'll go back to being a short person with big muscles. So just do barre and plie plie plie and keep on plieing (sorry I can't spell French words) and your bones will grow a millimetre with every set of plies. But never ever ever ever do squats. Because those will make them shrink back again. Have you ever noticed how powerlifters are usually short and large framed? Yep. It's squats that do that. But plies make you tall and small framed, like ballet dancers and supermodels. Yep you know it's true you've seen them on the TV.

I think the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse would be really good at stretching people's bones out medieval style.

But as I explained in my last post that's just a quick fix. And I would hesitate to mess with war, famine, pestilence or death. Because I've heard they've caused a lot of people some really, really bad problems in the past.

You know what I wonder is if you lengthen your muscles without lengthening your bones, wouldn't they just be all droopy?

Good to know I don't have to be doomed to a life of shortness with unsightly large muscles. That stuff just isn't ladylike! I'm going to stop squatting asap, before it makes me even shorter.
