26 yrs old, 6'2", 207lbs....Can't figure out what else to do to get thicker and stay lean. I just have an oddly shaped body. Critique please......thanks

If anything I would say chest needs to bulk up a little. And what do you mean oddly shaped?

**Freak** · 03-17-2007, 04:28 PM

Yeah not sure what you mean by oddly shaped body. You could shave your chest/arms and work on your wings (lats) during the next off-season. Good job though!

That's my biggest flaws right now. The lats and the chest. I have a very broad set of shoulders so my upper chest has a hard time filling out. From the side it looks like my shoulders cave in like I have NO upper chest although I work it out like an animal. Long limbs, hard to fill out.....thx for the remarks though. I'll keep training. I think my biggest thing is the chest and lat workouts....I can't get the thick lats nor the thick upper chest. I never really get a good "pump" after lat pull downs like I'm not doing them correctly.

I see what you mean man. I'm the same way, same amount of hair too. My chest and lats have been my problem areas for the longest.

I would do pull ups (weighted if possible) and see if that helps build your lats. Wide grip targets your lats while narrow grip hits more of your middle back.

I would say pull ups are better than pull downs, depends on which part of back u wanna hit it, but if you can easily control your shoulder blade from pullups, you won't have any problem getting pump from pulldowns.

Not everybody can do pull ups though.

if sparky can do it, that does not imply that everyone else can. this is sparky we are talking about after all.
