I am even shorter than u. Going to the gym with minimal height is no good!

short people can look muscular fast compared to tall people. im short too

yes... My arms,chest grew in term of muscle... but not as much as the fats in my belly...

Added on February 22, 2012, 10:13 pmdone simple measurement

weight 69kg
body fat 15.6% / 10.5kg

I tried low carb(bread on breakfast; small rice for lunch and 2pcs of grain bread for post workout) for a week and the BF dropped

e.g. before I pinch my abs about 1inch, after 1/2"

Ohh... I still have energy after that.... even for round two at night 

YES... I am cutting and gain muscle at the same time. My weight remain the same. but my maid said I become "fat" in past few weeks, BF drops a bit.

I use simple measurement, flex then pinch the fat with finger

i told her.. this is not fat OK, and open the picture of Jay Cutler and show him the meaning of fat & being muscular
