you have very good middle back development and posterior delts.maybe more front delt and lower chest and legs. u can try benching more than once per week, maybe do some in shoulder day.for legs maybe try high reps on squats.
dont you feel like thats a lot of “maybe” ?[/quote]
Maybe.
on a more serious note, i feel like we have a very similar frame
OP, you have a great physique (no homo), with a few imbalances that have been pointed out above.
Are you sure those are your maxes? I mean, you’re quite a bit bigger than me, yet your lifts are all plus or minus ~20 lbs of mine… just a thought. And I have pretty solid form.
BTW, how tall are you? Sorry if i missed it above, but at 160… I’m guessing 5’7?
nice guns buddy…and thanx for not putting some bizzare subject line…
Holy shit, someone posted all of their info and the correct pics. Keep up the good work.
By the way, get rid of your curl day and work the legs more. Your dl and squat suck ass.
BTW, I am about 5’ 6". Those maxes that you see for squat and deadlift are what I do for 3-4 sets of that weight. I could do much more for only one set but I don’t want to put in a number i’ve never actually done before. Guess it’s time to increase the weight and start pounding those squats and deadlifts!!! Thanks for all the feedback guys.
yes, legs need to be worked
I don’t mean any offensive but at 5 foot 6 you should look bigger your legs should be very powerful. you seem to have a wider waist not ideal for the typically desired V or this day and age X. You seem to have a strong back with good erectors.
But little rhomboids, you do know the game of bodybuilding though because you look for your points to bring up. I’d say well done but find a way in your posing to cover up the weak spots and for your waist keep bringing up the shoulders until your waist is atleast 1.8 times the size of your waist.

Well I posed every possible way to show off both my strong and weak points. I knew posting this that I would receive a lot of negative criticism, which is what I wanted. For me, as a noncompetitive bodybuilder it is hard for me to stay motivated to work those body parts that most people (non bodybuilders) really don’t care about (quads and such). After reading Arnold saying that he cut off his pants to remind him of his small calves, he inspired me to expose my weaknesses to people who would give me hell for it!
Since receiving this criticism, I have blasted legs and will continue to do so, as well as worked on every lagging body part. As far as looking bigger, I would like to gain a few more pounds just by bringing up my lagging bodyparts. When my lagging bodyparts show symmetry with my best body parts, I will be happy at that size. Thanks for the feedback and advice.
if you really hit squats hard and heavy, as well as blasting all the required accessory movements. you’ll not only bring up your legs, but thicken out all over, giving you the look you want
New legs pic
Judging from the size of your (relatively) untrained wheels, pretty good progress for 1.5 years, lots of potential, keep it up.
1RM squat of around 365# would be pretty proportional to your bench.

Yeah that sounds about right. For the first like 8 months of training I didn’t even do legs because the people worked out with didn’t so I guess I really didn’t know to.
I then started using the smith rack for squats which I really made little progress as far as size goes, and only switched to free weight squats about 3-4 months ago. Time to start droppin the reps and seeing what I can do. I’m getting excited to post new leg pics next month after a month of good hard leg training.
Solid: Nice Before and after thing
Today I did back. My last exercise was deadlifts and I finished off with 255 for 9 on my 5th set. Big improvement so far. I’ll keep it updated on lifts. I’m really pushing myself

people wont agree with me here, but if i were trying to see what my squat was like while adding size at the same time i would start off the session with reps of 12 for about 2 sets, then 10 for one set, then two or three heavy sets of 8, then 3 more sets of 55 as heavy as possible.
then maybe 3 or something.
my legs grew from that sort of reps/sets
all the fibres are hit, its simple.

That’s 9 sets of squats! hah thats a lot but whatever works right?
If you do 9 sets of squats, dont look forward to doing some deadlift in the same or following session lol… :s
I agree. Thats what I do whenever I do a difefrent movement 9recently added the weide grip hammer dip - started with 3x10 2 plates a side ended with 10x3 with 4 plates a side+change)
Keep volume fixed, and keep increasing weight (trying to maintian the reps as far as possible) If you fall below the reps/set then increase sets…progress!

OP… this is my opinion…
Besides hitting squats… hit leg extensions and curls a shit ton.
I think your back is huge and you have a limiting factor of your legs… you don’t even have a teardrop from what I can see.
If you bring your quads/hams up… I think your DL will go through the roof.
