If someone has average (or below as you may well have) genetics for getting a beautiful body it may not be POSSIBLE to get the type of body you want (which will be unpopular here i suspect).
For example, sometimes a person is simply not able to achieve a certain look, let alone in a few short years.
Let me put it like this - training to achieve a beautiful body takes a considerable amount of time - those who are in great shape in just 2-5 years tend to have the genetics to look like that anyway (low fat, wide shoulders, slim waist etc.)
You have not only be training just 4-5 years, but at least half of that will have been learning HOW to train effectively, and you are likely only just learning your body now.
When i say to people ‘it takes years’ they think 1 or 2 years…! Nope. I mean if you train for aesthetics, it is something you do forever, with the kind of results most really fantasise about taking a good 10, 15 or more years for most.
IMO.
As for advice, i would look to diet - that IS the key for you. As a FFB (you, not me) you sadly have to eat cleaner than most - with carb control being a lifetime fact if you want ‘abs’ etc… (no, not carb cutoffs a-la DC).
As for doing DC for 6 weeks… well if you really expect changes of that magnitude in 6 weeks then you have not been training long enough anyway.

I agree with everything beyond the first sentence… not that it isn’t true that some people just won’t look pretty… but for this kids weight he looks exactly like you’d expect and his numbers are pretty good(almost 2.5x DL, probably close to 2x Bench if he maxed, and apparently a 2x squat prior to injury). He looks like he has a really tiny waist and naturally decent width, there’s just no thickness to the muscle because he’s fucking 167 lbs.
