thanks for writing all of that out appreciate itYou can get shredded, sure. Anyone can, even a 6'4 lanklet. Shorter men build muscle faster, but genes also play a part.
The point is that being shredded doesn't make you more attractive. Especially as a short man. You're not going to rake in females, ect...
I think you already know that.
There are health benefits to working out or exercising in general, just do walks/runs/cycleon a bike, ect. No need to become a roidhead. If anything it can make you seen as (somehow) even LESS desirable since most people know that short guys want to make up for their short stature... ergo they're seen as insecure. Nothing screams it more than a roided-up dwarf who bench presses 200 lbs. Don't let that be you brocel.
Also keep in mind your diet. You need to have a healthy and balanced diet according to your caloric needs. What this means is just eat well, no sweets, no fast food, cut on carbs (sugar) and have more protein (meat). Also cut down on salt. This alone can make your health skyrocket.
Take it easy in the gym, don't overdo it. Lifting injuries can have very bad consequences down the line, especially if they're joint related.
If you just want to reap the health benefits from lifting then keep in mind there are easier and less costly ways to do it. Cardio is free, but lifting requires equipment or a gym membership, which costs money.
