Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread

What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack.

So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:

  1. Physique critiques. Post some pics and ask about muscles or body parts you need to work on. Or specifically ask about a lagging body part and what exercises worked for others.
  2. An outlet for people that want to show off their efforts that would otherwise be removed due to Rule 4, and

Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line.

So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday?

    37M, 177cm, 80.5kg. Between 3000-3300 cal a day.

    Bodyweight training at home or at the park. If at home, then biceps with DB (pelicans at the park)

    Right now I'm trying to deal with a painful serratus, so lots of high rep Calisthenics sets. Low load, pump.

    I'm really happy with the progress I made on my back the past 2 years. I was lacking everything upper back (always had good erectors and lombars). I first focused on pullups (weighted and bw), going wide, narrow, elbow driven, elbow in front, elbow to the side, I tried it all. Lats finally grew when I dropsetted all pullups with jackknives. Since I had found the recipe for width, I started prioritising thickness. Rows and weighted rows were making me progress slowly (mostly because I hadn't tapped into all my effort range in the kelso shrugs at the end) and were cumbersome to setup at home (weighted vest resting on the floor). I switched to single arm rows. My back exploded. In thickness and width. I don't understand how I'm the only one promoting this exercise. I understand the strain on obliques, and not everyone wants obliques, but man this exercise is so good! Since then, I adjusted them to target thickness a little more (pronation, pulling towards shoulder with elbow out), and I am floored at the progress.

    For the last two weeks, I've been coming back to 2-arm rows and trying to make them more effective.

    That back development is insane man, those single arm rows clearly did their job

    The pullup dropsets with jackknives is actually genius - might have to steal that combo for my own training

    I never understood what people meant when they say you get addicted to working out your back the most. It seemed such an odd place to enjoy building muscle but they were RIGHT. It's my favourite part to exercise. I have to pace myself so I don't overtrain it.
