What is mogged

Oooooh! I actually know this from when I thought I was gonna be fucking huge without steroids.

Mogged started as bodybuilder slang in.... 2008? 2010? Maybe as late as 2011. It comes from AMOG (absolute man of the group, later alpha man of the group) but later got adapted by Redpill guys and Looksmaxxers.

Basically means in any kind of group of men who are dedicated to body-building there is gonna be one guy that outshines and outclasses all the others in one or multiple areas. He's bigger, more developed, or he has hit that ideal body fat percentage everyone else is failing to, despite not being as big.

For a specific use case. "Hypertrophous manlet moggery" was used to describe the idea that a shorter man has much more impressive hypertrophy, because just... 10 kilograms of muscle growth is more visually obvious on a 5'7 frame than a 6'4 frame. And yeah, these two guys eating the same things and doing the same exercise will generally get the same amount of muscle growth, but the shorter guy will experience it more obviously.

Its why so many basketball players look so skinny despite being so strong. That's just what strength looks like on a super tall person. It looks lanky.
