I started lifting fairly recently, and I was wondering how I could make my upper body look better?

Cut and start lean bulking once you reach 10-12 percent
>>41319962

Does any muscle group strike you as underdeveloped?

Pecs need some work, I'm not that poster btw
>>41320180
Uhhh.. all of them?
>>41320180
You don't have a lot of muscle. You don't look bad though.. you should do a balanced routine like fierce 5 novice if you're a noob or fierce 5 intermediate if not. I wouldn't worry about under developed muscles until a couple years into lifting.

Impossible to say without knowing your current routine.
Here's how to start a thread on /fit/ (or any other fitness forum):
"Hey guys, here's my
1) Age
2) Years/months lifting
3) TDEE and diet (macro ratio included)
4) Natty/fraud status (not needed in your case)'
5) Current training regimen, including split of days (Bro split, ABA/BAB, Push/Pull etc)
And here's my question: I'm currently doing exercises a, b and c for x to y reps and z sets for [insert body parts here]. How can I add more upper body mass? Should I increase my training volume?"
And then you'll get a response like this:
"SS + GOMAD!"
And realize /fit/ is a giant waste of time. It's a giant piss take at worst and the blind leading the blind at best.
Oh well. Here's my sticky for beginners. Read the actual sticky on the front page as well. Welcome to hell.

Oh yeah. If you could throw in height, weight and bodyfat percentage, that sometimes helps. However, I must admonish you that height will generally also risk derailing the thread into a manlet hate thread.

Bench press.
A lot.
Ideally work on your abs at the same time or you'll end up with big man boobies and poor contrast.
