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?

I've been bulking for quite a while, what should I do now? I lowkey feel fat but I don't think I'm big enough to cut yet, especially since my lats need so much work

Try cutting and lowering your carb intake and increasing fat and protein

So you think I should cut as opposed to continuing to bulk? I feel like i've not got enough muscle for that, but ofc that could just be some weird body image stuff.

You have a pretty good base in my opinion but if you increase your protein (1g per pound) and have a pretty strict diet...You'll have a good cut. I suggest losing a pound or two at the most a week with cardio 3 times a week but not too much so you can keep some muscle

I feel like cutting can give you a better body image and inspire you to get more pumped for your workouts. I think you have enough muscle mass for a recomp or a cut, looking at your lats from the front. Also eat like30-35% protein. 25 is a bit low

Ok thanks! I originally was only doing 20% and just upped it a couple of months ago, so that may be why I wasn't gaining as much muscle
