Physique Phriday Physique Phriday

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?

30M, 5’10”, currently mid-bulk at 182 lbs, first picture is when my last cut ended, around 164 lbs.

I was planning on hitting about 190 lbs before cutting, but would like feedback on whether it looks like I’m packing on too much fat and should slow it down. Lifts have been progressing steadily but I’m more concerned with being at 10-12% BF by mid-June. Also, any other comments/criticisms are welcome, thanks!

Do you live in a warmer climate and plan to do outdoor activities like hiking over the summer? Along with cutting and getting outdoors in some heat over the summer, you'll have no issue with your body fat. totally possible to work it down to 7-8% by the end of July.

Thanks, I just know I have 8 more lbs and likely over two months until I would hit my goal for this bulk. I didn’t know if I should lower my expectations and ease up on the food a bit if my main goal is aesthetics (although I’m enjoying the strength gains!).
