Hey guys, thought I’d finally be man enough to get one of these threads going for myself. Been training pretty much since I was 16, although never really took it seriously during the college and uni days. Past few years have steadily been putting alot more effort into it despite lurking on the site since 2005.
All criticism and feedback welcome, be as brutal as you want.
Fairly happy with overall ‘size/proportions’.
But heavily focus on improving Back, Arms and Legs over others.
Goal is always to stay slim, lean as in not getting to big or bulky.
Current Training routine:
Day 1 - Back // Upper Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, ‘Sides’)
Day 2 - Chest, Shoulders // Abs (Upper/Lower)
Day 3 - Biceps // Calfs, Glutts
Day 4 - Triceps // Abs (Side/Back)
Day 5 - Rest
Rince Repeat…so training 4 days then 1 day off in a cycle.
Apologies on the pics, I tried getting my bro to take them, but they were even worse. Will try to get some better poses.
I’m the same height, and when I was 180lbs… or even 170lbs I looked completely different than you. When I saw your upper body and corresponded it with 180lbs, I concluded it would be more packed on the wheels. Then I scrolled down… I don’t see 180lbs.
But something else… You need to pack on more size, way more size. And I’m with Bonez, your training needs a complete overhaul. Which means a normal split.
Edit. Before I forget… you should eat more calorie dense food.
Hmmm… well firstly added a pic as an example of more sort of what I’m generally after, atleast my preffered personal goal. (Ryan Reynolds From the 3rd Blade film). Although yea certinaly not saying he/me could use some more MASS still.
Sorry was converting it from 12.5 Stone (English weight measurement), recalculated it’s actually 175 LBS, if that makes much of a difference
Thanks for the feedback, what would a normal split look like, i.e. not mixing arms/legs together on same days?
Traps good. Pretty lean overall. Wooden floor looks nice. Picture frame, not bad. Everything else not good. Joking aside though, just get bigger. Nothing majorly wrong. You just look small for BBing standards. I think you’d be happy with same BF% and 20 more pounds, no?
If that picture of Ryan Rennolds physique is your goal then you’re not too far off but posting your pics in Rate My Physique probably isnt the best idea. Probably be better off in the performance photos section.
Right quad looks much more hypertrophied from the leg pic, but I could be wrong as there is only one pic, and your legs aren’t that developed anyways. FTR, my right leg is bigger from wrestling. It’s getting better though from some increased single leg work on the left one.
You said your happy with proportions everywhere except for your calves. In the front leg pic your calves look bigger than your quads!.. Are you saying you want smaller calves?
