Hi, my name is Kamil – a tall “giant” living in Australia.
I’m 196 cm tall and because of my height I’m often faced with the following problems:
1. Finding clothes that fit my long limbs.
2. Dealing with my height being the center of conversation everywhere I go.
3. Learning how to be confident because I stand out.
4. Optimising my diet to fuel my workouts to help me minimise body fat whilst building muscle mass.
5. Understanding how to lift with correct form at the gym using my long limbs.
Ultimately my passion is self-development; I’m always working on myself to become the best version I can be.
I created this website to share my experiences and findings with other tall people that are facing similar issues because of their height. Prior to creating this site I noticed that such sites, dedicated to tall people, simply do not exist. Many people of average height do not understand the struggles and challenges that a tall person has to deal with on a daily basis. By creating this site I want every tall person out there to know that you are not alone. Your struggles are not unique and you don’t have to deal with them alone.
