Long Lean Muscles

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 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?

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

You know, it feels like you aren't supporting me on my gurney. BULLY!!!! :grumble:

Dammit, now what am I supposed to do with this stupid time machine? These things aren't cheap, you know.

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….

oh you.....I like you :-)

I tried stretching it. Did not get any longer. Is sad.

It might be because you didn't have the 4 Horses.....invest in the horses. It might be worth it

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

You aren't allowed to have an opinion because you haven't tried it yet.

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.

No, this is completely silly!

You need to tie your feet down to stakes at the equator, and centrifugal force will do the work for you.
