Hey,
I haven’t read the thread but,
you are kind of fat. maybe 18%. I think your calipers are broke. Maybe you’re delusional. Maybe both.
Who knows, anyway, screw the haters. Tell the haters to eat rocks.
Peace,
SM
Arramzy, you’re not small and you’re certainly strong. Good job on that.
But if you think you are even CLOSE to being as big and lean as KingBeef then you are mightily deluded. I’m not trying to knock you here at all, and you’ve certainly accomplished a lot at a young age, but you need to “keep it real”.
Any dieting tips to get me to your lean 11% arramzy?

I must be 8% according to his delusional perception of himself.
Ironically, he has no traps.
Continue with the hilarity gentlemen.
I see even less traps now.
You are not leaner or bigger than Kingbeef and your traps aren’t big enough to assume you’ve trained them “optimally”.
You have accomplished a lot for your age though…but a brewing mental disorder seems to be a part of that.

I made the correction earlier that kingbeefs profile o 223lb 14% seemed off based upon his pictures and corrected myself. His photos look a lot more like 8% to me…
As far as my traps, they could use more work as you suggested, but they are sufficiently large for my purposes and relative to many people are plenty large. Though this thread has perhaps made me realize that more direct work could help and I will try as such. As I said before, just trying to exchange ideas here.
As far as mental disorder, as I said the lighting was poor and my ghost whiteness obviously makes me look flatter and less defined. Given that I have heard the statement that visible abs implies 10% many times and mine are visible and that you can even see slight lower back striations I don’t see how 18% is more reasonable than my proposed 11%. I may certainly be off by a couple points but I have even had myself measured by calipers by a ‘professional’ as 9.8%.
Anyways, I feel that if you read through this forum I have attempted to justify my claims and I am the only one who has posted anything to back up their claims. Until anyone else would like to post some pictures, you can ‘proverbially’ go fuck yourself.

Where’s the abs? Or LOL the lower back striations for that matter? Whoever did the caliper and called you 9.8% did it wrong. You’re at the most as lean as me, and I’m around 15%
I still think you have less trap size than me even when I was 175lbs with 11% bodyfat lolz
Here’s a picture to prove it.
Well, I gotta hand it to him, at least he posted pics.
Moving on though, I have seen way worse delusion from newbs than anything posted here. Aaramzy does look like he trains hard for his age so I’m not knocking that. What sucks worse is newbs with no muscle at all thinking they are built.

Thanks. If I may now ask for advice, I guess you feel that my traps need work and have vocalized the benefits of power shrugs? Any other important exercises you would say are essential? Do you advocate keeping them moderately strict, very strict, or more just loading lots and bouncing? What about rolling back the shoulders? Thanks for the advice.
Lee Priest could probably get away with never working traps directly again. Some candid shots of him show FREAKY high traps.
Yet, he still shrugs.

I think doing them with faster reps (if you want to call that “power” shrugs, so be it) in the beginning helped me get a lot stronger.
Now, when I train traps, I do my reps very controlled and slow. I don’t jerk the weight at all, and that is with usually going up to at least 5-45lbs plates a side without straps…but I use the Hammer Strength machine now. I haven’t used the barbell in years.
In other words, first work on getting the weight up and getting strong with “decent” form. Yeah, you may have to cheat that weight up a little.
Your end goal though is to be able to do enough weight to make people jealous with damn near perfect form and no straps (which to me means strong forearms)…but that takes time.
I never did any type of shrugs. True story
What? That’s his second warm-up set.

You’re definitely not doing bad and are strong for your age. That I can’t argue. That said, this is a prime example of why stats like weight and bodyfat (as well as comparing strengths of different individuals) don’t mean shit most of the time.
You are no where near 10% bodyfat. There is more to be taken into consideration than “visibility of abs” when making bodyfat estimations. Things like muscle belly shape, joint size, bone structure/size and where fat is distributed on the body can have a profound effect on how different individuals look at the same weight/bodyfat percentages.
This slightly older pic of me (I’m bigger now) is probably somewhere between 12-14% considering how much fat I could pinch on my lower back (which is still less than you would pinch from looking at your pics). It still boggles my mind how you thought you were more developed than me when I have a picture of myself in my avatar, lol. I also retract my statement about your legs being bigger than mine, considering how much fat you’ve turned out to be carrying. Never been a fan of people claiming measurements when those bodyparts BARELY have any definition.
P.S. You might also want to start doing some curls or something and get off your “only need big lifts” nonsense.

I lol’d at this. I’m in no position to call out OP as he’s bigger/stronger then I am, but he does seem to be deluded on the bodybuilding/body comp side of things.
Bodybuilding style training still the best way to build an impressive physique.
