Looking for some criticism and feedback on my current physique. These photos are from end of cut. Current bulk I’m focusing heavily on arms and intensity. I am hitting abs consistently 2x/wk for the first time, and have also included direct forearm work.
Any other weak points or advice is welcome.
First few photos are from around my beginning of lifting until now. Progress from previous post has been a little over a year. I tried to keep the angles similar but also provide more for back progress, lighting has changes.
Photos are from peak cut, I’ve since started the bulk again.
Happy to answer any questions or discuss other diet/training plan/lifestyle questions plus full in more details
Checking in after about a years worth of bulk/cut. Sort of unsure how to feel about the results, I’m for sure leaner at a similar bodyweight compared to last cut (210 before vs. 207 now), but I don’t feel like i put on much muscle in my most targeted areas, could be the dysmorphia checking in.
I didn’t really push any 1rm and focused instead on getting stronger and hitting rep PRs on previously weak lifts like incline bench, dips, and pull ups. Quite happy overall with how the physique looks after maintaining cut weight for a few weeks, definitely want to add more size to the arms in particular still.
Didn’t run any programs specifically, I just hit shoulders/arms 3x/week and used a rep goal system to progress weights. I’ve been doing quite a bit more cardio and feel better playing sports overall so a big plus there.
Due to sports and other activities I felt pretty beat up and tired in the gym, so this bulk I’ve been essentially only doing 2 sets per exercise and really dialling in the intensity.
I tired to get more angles to paint a better picture than previous posts, but the lighting and setup were awkward, legs are hard to capture. Any critiques, notes on weak points, or questions welcome. I can include training logs and what I’m running currently if interested. Also happy to discuss diet or any other factors below.
