Sup mayne. Solid (even already seen the pics lol).

Posing is tough, and is made to give you the illusion of a bigger physique. With a bit of practice on your poses, you will definitely find that some of your “weaknesses” aren’t all that weak. Your quad/hamstring seperation and waist aren’t really issues that I would worry about too much right now, those can be solved by fine-tuning your diet should you ever want to do a competition.
I think your calves and upper body thickness will take a bit of time to develope (its hard to tell by the pics, so I’m just taking your word that you deem them a weakness), but with a bit of priority training you can bring those up. I found doing heavy barbell rows, deadlifts, and heavy flat/incline presses helped me for upper body thickness. The same can be said about your shoulders and biceps as well, keep focusing on putting more mass on them and they will start to develop the way you want them too.
I don’t know how your hamstrings look, but I’d say blast the hell out of them on your leg days (if it’s ok with Ed, haha). A lot of people in the novice bodybuilding comps (in my experience) rarely have any legs, and if they do they only have quads with no hammies. Your quads are a great size man, so by developing your hamstrings you will be leaps and bounds over a lot of your competitors.[/quote]
This was the response I was looking for. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely take this into account.

Also I think your delts would likely be a significant strong point in the future
No problem man!
I think spar is right; your shoulder’s aren’t that bad at all. In your back double bi pose, you can see all three heads fairly well. It might just be another thing that will become less of an issue should you decide to cut.
You also have very nice shape, which is a big plus. If you ever do decide to do a bodybuilding comp, I think you’d do really well.
Looking great man! Calves do need work, though. I don’t have cankles (skinny joints for me) but my calves are pretty stubborn. 26.5" quads with 16" calves looks pretty lame!
Thanks everybody. I appreciate all the critique and advice.

it’s worse with 28s
Tons of potential here. Listen to Coan and eat right and in a few years time you will be a force to be reckoned with. Good job so far, just keep blasting away.
while you look solid and have great quads, you have quite a-ways to go. Keep up the hard work, incorporate 2-3 days of HIIT/week and you could really bring out your definition
1000% more yoked then I was when I was 17
