No, a short torso is never good for aesthetics purposes.
It quickly leads to a stocky structure which looks ridiculous to be frank, unless you're really tall its always bad.(except if your goal is pro bodybuilding ofc)

its genetics
africans tend to have long legs and short torsos
asians have long torsos and short legs
whites are somewhere in the middle
this also explains why some sports are dominated by certain races, long legs for are good for running but short legs are better for olympic weightlifting for example

Yeah long legs are great if you want to get mogged and dominated in a fight by a long torso guy who weighs way more than you do at the same height. Can't forget getting mogged whenever you're sitting down.
And lets be honest there are tons of ways people heightfraud their leg length (shoes/boots, height boost insoles, leg surgeries) but there's no way to height fraud your torso. You'll always be a manlet.

No, for me personally it was how skinny I was with that frame for a long part of my life. In my 20's I was 6'2" and only about 140 but could have easily improved it by maintaining a lifting schedule but was always too lazy to keep it up. In high school my parents even hired me a personal trainer for sports, it was this guy Doug Benbow who went on to do soloflex commercials, really great dude.

Honestly, we don't care about legs, that's not the main thing people look at to assess if you're lifting or not. Torso will be the main index and if yours is short, the bulging effect will come sooner in your lifting journey

That's because you're doing too many compounds. Not enough arm isolations. Also do your arm work FIRST. And if it takes away from the compounds for chest/back. Then switch to isolation movements for those body parts.

True. I'm 5'3" but my armspan is 5'7" and I'd much rather stay this way than be 5'7" with 5'3" arms. I think I might even prefer it over being 5'7" with an also 5'7" armspan just because of the ratio.. but I'd have to test that one out to know for sure.

long torso short legs is actually the optimal build for squatting. Look at the chink oly lifters with their 23 inch femurs who can pop down into a perfect ATG squat while their long torsos remain perfectly upright the entire time.

This is actually the opposite. Youre retarded. Women have longer torsos usually and thats why long legs are so prized and unique on women they end up getting modeling jobs for long legs. Its evolutionary advantageous for women to have longer torsos, more room to fit cock and babies

I wouldn't have guessed he was that short, his proportions make him look taller.

Work legs 1 time per week, work upper body more. Its common for people to have good leg development and upper body taking longer time to develop. If that's the case then do less for legs like work then one time per week while working upper 2-3 times.

Long torso = high load on lower back. The long torso short leg builds only works for manlets. If long people have that their lower backs have to hold to much weight.

it does have it's downsides, really good grapplers tend to have long torsos and shorter limbs ive noticed, along with really great swimmers,

however, strikers benefit from longer limbs along with running and just about any power generating spot, javelin, shotput, discus, 100m, high jump, long limbs = more leverage
