I do lift, and you need more lats.

>>42224294

Prove it. Lets see your back in that same pose.
And you can't judge a persons lats in that pose

>>42224315
>giving a critique means you must have a perfect body

>>42224359

Not what I said.
I said post your body in that pose so you can realise you are wrong and that your lats can't be judged from it. And I'm not OP btw, look at the time difference.

Hair goals lol. natty? Age? Mirin fullness at that bodyfat

>>42224616

Natty.

Do weights once a week.

I don't care about my hair i shave it off once a month

I'm not that high bodyfat i think

>>42224604
i hit biceps and triceps both twice a week i usually do tricep pulldowns with skullcrushers supersetted with closegrip bench
and biceps i usually do prearcher curls with dumbell and barbell curls my arms just dont grow i think it might be because my arms are so fucking long like when i stand with my arms down to my side instead of out like in the pic my arms are almost at my knees lol

>>42224654
Either you're bullshitting or you're genetically gifted. Either way good for you on that high amount of lean muscle for training once a week, maybe get some lightweight hamstring curls in
>>42224593 (me)
Gibs advice pls

>>42224701
I workout like a madman but i just don't lift weights. Now that i'm on leave i swim about 3-5 km , run 10 km and do about 500 pushups, 100 pullups and i don't know how much ab work daily. When i work i do a morning 40 min workout and then do muay thai in the evening along with 5 km running before that.

I lift more during winters and usually reach 90 kg but that's because i always get fatter in the winter and it's too cold to swim.

>>42224759
Ι also do intermittent fasting and eat 2 big meals which is meat+steamed veggies and in the evening 1 egg with salad and cottage cheese + protein shake. I also eat 2 bananas and 2 apples. I could cut more but i eat sweets too.

Damn

>>42224593
You do weights once a week? Do you mainly do bodyweight stuff like pull ups, dips, push ups and all that? I'd love to look like you desu (even though I enjoy food too much). Mirin.

Also what branch? I'm a corpsman myself

>>42225085
I'm not american

I work in my country's coast guard as an officer

It's mostly paperwork but i wanna try to enroll in a navy seal like unit of my country, gonna try at september even though im old

And yes i do mostly bodyweight. One of the best additions in my workout are those little dip bars you put on the floor and do l-seat dips and an ab wheel

Also definetely do swimming, i'm not good at it and i'll probably never be because i didn't start young plus i have heavy ass legs but the beauty of it is the leaner and heavier you are the better workout you get

I'm so slow though

>>42222737

>>42225126
Hey man that's pretty fucking awesome. I was thinking about maybe dropping weights and focusing soly on pull ups, dips, push ups, etc and upping my cardio a lot more. And maybe cleaning up my diet, which is the hardest part for me.

I had a contract to go to BUD/S (navy seal school) that got pulled due to too many contracts pushing me out. But if you can, try learning the Combat Side Stroke. Once you get that down, swimming is twice as easy.

>>42225166
>>42225126
Also sorry for prying but do you do the bodyweight work every day or do you have a sort of split you do?

>>42225166
Funny thing is that in my country they don't let you do the CSS during training because they go like 'oh look its a SEAL wannabe ' and then they fuck you and all the school along with you. Only sidestroke is allowed and i can easily do 2km of it with no fins. I just hate the fact that they are gonna drown the shit out of me.

Weights are needed but they shouldn't be the only excersise you do. People here have this wrong conception that they can lift 3 times a week and look like athletes, this isn't the case. If you want to look good as a natty you have to train every single day and maintain an active lifestyle(bike to work, don't drink too much alcohol, don't eat white sugar etc.) Just look at a couple generations ago, they would work construction all day, go to the gym and then go out for drinks, sleep 3 hours and do it all over again. I'm not saying that's necesserely healthy but you get the idea. We are way too pussified nowadays.

Also cardio is the most important thing. I used to go on 20-25 km runs once a week during the winter but it's too hot now. I have a resting heart rate of 47. My lungs give out far quicker than my heart does.

>>42225229
The standard bodyweight routine i do every day is this:

4 sets of 20 air squats + 50 pushups
then
set1:
30 crunches + 30 leg extensions + 30 raised leg crunches+30 bicycle kicks + 30 back extensions + 30 diamond pushups
set 2:
30 bicycle kicks+ 30 twisties to knee(how the fuck do you call them it's the one where you sit crosslegged and then twist and reach the knee with your elbow) + 2 minutes of russian twists with raised legs + 40 oblique twits each side + 30 back extensions + 30 diamond pushups

set 3:
100 4 count flutter kicks + 20 leg raises + 20 good morning ladies(the one where you are in the flutter kick position and spread your legs, looks kinda gay) + 30 back extensions + 30 diamond pushups

Then i do 3x10 ab wheel extensions from standing position, 3x10 normal grip pullups, 3 x10 reverse grip and 3x10 closed grip.

If i have time i do a 5 minute standard plank + 2 x 1 min side planks. I do the above after my evening workout and then strech rigorously.

Morning workout is :

10 mins of 5-8 burpees + jumping jacks
50 situps + 50 twisting situps + 100 4 count flutter kicks + 3 x 20 hip thrusts and 3x30 wide grip pushups
3x10 normal grip pullups + 3 x 10 reverse grip pullups

>>42225531
If you wanna widen your back you gotta do wide grip pullups + lateral raises with tricep kickbacks to get good posterior delt development and weighted back extensions to get that christmas tree spinal erector look.

Lat pulldowns are for roiders and old people, stop doing them.

>>42225429

same here brother. Got pretty wide lats like you but small(but long) ass arms. Hit arms 2x a week, as well forearms, but they take fucking forever to get any noticeable gains.

>>42225429
fix your posture man, you look really hunched

>>42225531
Stop trying to squeeze shit and cheat the fuck out of it instead. You have to realize that your back is one of the strongest muscle groups in your entire body. You have to treat it as such. I won't go super into detail, but if you want a massive back, you NEED to cheat your rows and shrugs. Lat pulldowns are okay, not the greatest - whatever. Cheat that shit brother and you will notice SIGNIFICANT gains.

If you're cutting you should be hitting everything heavy. But I think you need to keep eating at a surplus for a while. That doesn't mean go crazy and eat 4000 calories of shit

im skinnyfat dyel cutting right now
lifting for 9months so theres not much,

How does one progress on classic bent over rows? I can row 2 plates with bit of body english which some people say isnt bad thing when it comes to rows (still controlling the weight and no back rounding shit)
Also what about frequency? I train almost every single day, and while people say lats can be hit everyday im kinda concerned about lower back, but its very submaximal weight

I literally only care about thicc and huge back. My deadlift is slightly above 4 plates right now, but i need some more upper back strength for safer and stronger pulls due to upper back rounding.

Also i often feel my right side of body doig more work than left (mild scoliosis)
thoughts?

>>42225998
The further distance your shoulder to waist ratio the better

>>42230609
Yes.

>tfw no back
Should I add isolations? More volume?

>>42231991
how does one not even have any back?

do you not deadlift?

no squats? or front squats?

you should be doing rear delt work and pulling stuff anyway if you're benching or else you probably look like a neanderthal

but

just

ROW

pick up something and pull it to you

>>42230758
If you're lifting hard enough you should lift at most once every other day. Your body should need time to recover inbetween workouts.

You just have extremely poor posture.

Un round your shoulders, and your "winged scapula" will be fixed. Right now you're looking at your scapula as the problem, when in reality you're severely over rotated in the anterior direction. Start doing an aggresive amount of facepulls, band pull aparts, and don't sit on any chairs with backs on them for a month.

Good posture includes your clavicles parallel with the ground, and thumbs pointed forward, not knuckles like some ape.

Athlean X and Elliot Hulse have good videos on this, as well as Scooby.

Also look at their winged scapula videos and do those exercises anyways, as they will strengthen your weak rhomboids.

>>42236958
Thanks for the serious feedback, I didn't even know my posture was a problem too, until yesterday lurking in YouTube I tried the athlean x video for posture in 5 steps and I did felt different, like literal magic, thanks again anon

Definitely a winged scapula. I also have one, it's bearable but it fucking suck.
Make an effort to keep a good posture and start doing face pulls. Also don't neglect back training, a strong back really helps, try training it unilaterally

Training with a winged scapula sucks, you will feel asymmetrical in pretty much every barbell excercise, and you won't be able to do bodybuilding poses symmetric.

There's a lot of videos about fixing this, but in my experience they do nothing to fix it, maybe just making it feel better but thats it.

Good luck in your fitness journey fellow "angel"

How do I fix this!?

>>42240625
You shave it off
Idk about your back though

>>42240625

Left trap: too tight --> stretch
left oblique: too weak ---> strenght
etc. and vis versa
