Short King of the Month: Did This Guy Just Save His Bloodline?!

This has probably got to be one of my favorite short king blog topics of all time. Several months ago, while mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, I came across this short king-related meme. It depicted a small, but muscular short king of a man next to his tall and fit redhead, muscle mommy of a girlfriend/spouse. You can read the caption of the meme in the image below, but in summary it describes this man’s mission to save his lineage and combat his height genetics, by getting with a tall queen. 

Long story short, the same meme came across Danny Dials' explore page and he sent it over to me last week. As I recall saying to Dan, “this dude just won the March slot for Short King of the Month.” 

I honestly can’t get enough of this guy. His name is Coach Tarun and he appears to be some sort of very successful Aussie/Kiwi fitness influencer. I don’t have any confirmation on his actual height, but he appears to be somewhere within the 5’4” to 5’7” range. Based on his physique his weight could be anywhere between 140 to 170ish. He’s more on the bulky side of muscularity, which fits his stature perfectly. 

Most of Coach Tarun’s Instagram videos consist of him doing various weight lifting and calisthenics exercises, mostly to promote his fitness program “Different Breed Coaching” - yeah there’s no doubt about that, this guy is a fucking beast. Like, did I just see him squat 4 plates (360lbs)?? Did I also mention he is a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu? 

Some of his other videos feature his girlfriend/spouse, who was the same lady featured in the meme above. They train together, get fit together, and make content together. What a beautiful thing. 

So what does this mean for all the short kings out there? Take a page out of this guy’s book. If he was able to secure a tall queen, what’s stopping you? What’s your excuse? I mean come on, the physical attributes of your future children are on the line here! 

This man is an inspiration to me, as he should be to all short kings alike. He’s super fit, works with the cards that he was dealt - and does it damn well. Every single aspect of his training regimen is purposeful and methodical. I aspire to get on his level someday and be able to train like he does. 

Coach Tarun officially kicked off short king spring!!!
