All my muscles are short and are driving me crazy because i look un proportional

[mcmanus1806]

Im pretty tall, 6ft3 and ive noticed since my muscles have gotten bigger, they are short, everywhere, meaning that i have a large peaked bicept, but has a 2 inch gap when flexed from my forearm, or my calf is big at the top, and tiny at the bottom, same with my legs, big at the top, then half way down they just shrink till its the same width as my knee :/ i do workout properly, as i workout out with my friend, who is genetically gifted in my opinion because his body proportions are amazing!

Any idea how to stretch my muscles? i fear i may have no choice as i know it could be that my tendons are longer than average... :/

That's mostly genetic. But you may be able to help by stretching well between sets and stressing full ROM for each lift.

you can grow muscles and make them bigger. but it is damn near impossible to change the overall shape of the muscle. tendons hold the muscle to the bone, and that stretch between your calf muscle and your Achilles is predominantly a large tendon with some muscle tissue. there are some that admit defeat and get augmentation (implants).

Try incorporating different exercises into your typical routine... for instance wide grip curls, hammer curls, swimming, bike riding

Tendon length is genetics and can't be changed. As far as stretching have a 20 minute stretch routine you follow religiously everyday, you don't need rest days from stretching. Best time to do it after exercise, or on off days do a slight warm up to get the blood flowing before you stretch. TERT (total end range time) also plays a roll. Science has never proven the ultimate stretch length/time but I suggest the more TERT the better, so hold the stretches 1-2 minutes. Good luck

I have the exact opposite issue. Long bicepts which make my arms look small with lack of peak.
