This is me 4 weeks into a 6 week cutting phase. I'm 23, and have been training on and off for the last 8 years. Its my plan to build naturally until I max out my genetic potential. I know my legs are lagging and the heads of my bis need length...

Go to town on me, I've got thick skin!

[robcardu]

you know your flaws...u look good ...i think ur back needs to be wider and your legs some mass.........keep up the work bro.


.......and welcome

[RKO_RKO!]

Mate you look awesome. Real good stuff, plus I think you have a good skeletal structure. What is you height and weight btw?

You have asked for some citique, and I think, apart from the legs which you yourself recognized, I think you need to hit some trapezius and other upper back muscles, and maybe some forearms.

Keep it up bro

Forearms and legs bro! The rest you have a good start on. Best of luck.

Thanks for the feedback/suggestions so far guys.

RKO_RKO!,

I'm 5'10" 198 pounds and as of last monday 7.9% bf. I've got about two weeks of cutting left then I was planning on doing the Bill Star 5x5 program over x-mas break and hopefully do some clean bulking. It seems to marginalize quite a few body parts, but squatting 3x a week might be just what I need.

I know I'm definitely top heavy, but I do try to hit the legs. I generally hit calves 3x a week. For the last five weeks I've been doing the "Pump" program from Flex magazine and using the two weekend days to do cardio/a little heavy lifting (i.e. today I did heavy squats, calf raises and deadlifts).

I hadn't realized my forearms were really a weak point, and I'll definitely figure a way to put in a little extra work on them. Also, I think you guys might be right on the traps, I'll think up a way to encorporate some extra heavy shrugs or something that won't throw off the routine.

Thanks a lot and keep the suggestions rolling!

great work bro...try 2 tran quads, hams, and calves equally..like give it the same punshment as u give it 2 your lets say chest and arms...good luck....

[Rocky]

As above man! Made some really good gains! Look real good - just them bi's and legs for me, but I'm sure you'll bring 'em up!

[Gopher]

Thanks for the additional encouragement/suggestions guys.

fadhad, are you suggesting that overtraining those areas might be a problem? I generally try to hit upper legs atleast 2x a week (1 high rep volume & 1 heavy pyramid day) and calves atleast 3. I only hit chest and arms once a week. I've been really trying to weak point train the legs--I don't know if its genetic or what, but I can get them stronger and more cut--but the mass just isn't comming proportionally!

Does anyone any suggestions regarding bi training? Prior to adoping the Flex program I used to always try to hit a lot of preacher/concentration curls to try to lengthen the head. In a nutshell, my arms piss me off--they're pretty thick (about 18 and a quarter inches) but are so long they don't look it. I think I need atleast another inch on them before they'll start appearing impressive which of course will require more development everywhere.

In a way bodybuilding is sort of like my other hobby as an audiophile. By that I mean I'm completely obsessed with both an with every "upgrade" I make a flaw is revealed.

Thanks a bunch, bros!

1) You are not 7.9% bf. You are much closer to 10-11%ish

2) Your legs are laggin behind badly, do you train them at all?

3) Other than 1 and 2, you look good man, nice work.
