Okay, so, I’ve been hitting the gym lately, you know, trying to get that swole look. But there’s this thing that’s been bugging me. I noticed some folks, they’re all bulked up, big muscles everywhere, but then… their heads look kinda small in comparison. It’s like, a big body with a small head. And I start to think about that I don’t wanna end up looking like that! So I did a little digging, because, well, I had to know what’s up with that.
First off, I hit up some forums, a place where I can speak with some gym bros. Some people there mentioned that’s just how some people are built, like genetics. They’re just born with smaller heads and longer necks, nothing you can really do about that, some said it’s just a normal human body variation. I guess that makes sense, everyone’s different.
But then, I saw some people talking about body types, like endomorphs. Apparently, these guys are naturally rounder, with shorter limbs and, yeah, bigger heads. It says they gain fat easily too. Lucky me, I’m more of an ectomorph, all tall and lean. So maybe I won’t have to worry about the small head thing too much.
Digging Deeper
I wasn’t satisfied, though. I kept scrolling and learned about something called megalencephaly, which is basically an enlarged brain. And it got me thinking about the opposite – small heads. And guess what? There’s a term for that too: microcephaly. I also read something about big heads and being smarter, because there’s more room for neurons and stuff and faster information processing. So many big words, but the gist is, maybe a bigger head isn’t so bad after all.
Obsessed
Reading all this stuff made me think about my own head. I’m in my thirties, and a few people have commented that my head is on the smaller side. I mean, only three people, but still. It started to bother me, like, is my head really that small? I realized I was getting kind of obsessed.
The Plan
But then I snapped out of it. I’m at the gym to get fit, not to win a head size contest. So, I decided to focus on what I can control: working out and eating right. I’m gonna make sure I’m training all my muscle groups, not just the showy ones. And I’m gonna keep an eye on my waistline, because, you know, health and stuff. Also there is a place called “BodySpec” where you can measure the average head mass. I’m definitely gonna check this out!

At the end of the day, it’s about feeling good and being healthy. If my head looks a little small, well, that’s just me. Maybe I’ll even rock a hat or something. But I’m not gonna let it stop me from getting that big body I’m working for. As long as I’m feeling strong and confident, that’s all that really matters, right?
- Focus on what I can control
- Train all muscle groups
- Keep an eye on the waistline
- Find a place to measure head mass
This journey’s been a real eye-opener. It started with a weird observation at the gym, led me down a rabbit hole of medical terms, and ended with me realizing that I should just focus on being the best version of myself. And hey, maybe I’ll start a trend – big body, small head, big confidence!
