If you want me to be honest... and i'm not flaming... I think you look pretty sloppy. You have a genetically wide waise that is emphasized with bodyfat. Cut the fat and don't try to bulk as it doesn't suit you well. I think you should do your best to be patient and gain size while being lower in bodyfat. Don't go by the scale it does naturals no justice just go by the mirror. There's a good amount of muscle under that fat (I know you're not FAT but too fat to look really good with your structure in my opinion.)
Anyways yuou do look rather big and decent but the bodyfat really shows your wide waist. You look good either way though. But you'd be much better with lower fat. Just my opinion.
tryin to keep lean. usually don't see any outline of abs this time of year, or in this "offseason" phase, which this year, is still quite clean...cheat 1'ce a week at the very most...cardio here and there to keep me from going too overboard.
waist is wide, arms are small...
atleast gives me soemthing to aim for.
come show, time, my waist is not a huge concern, especially from the side.
but from the front, gotta pull a jay cutler and double up on shoulder size to counter that waist.
and on an arms perspective follow in the steps of Branch warren...just bring them up. and not let my legs continue to dominate.
im 21, got room and time to grow.... don't plan to go pro, dont think that it's in the cards for me, just wanna do the best with what i got, and feel like i accomplished my max.
ill be back on stage (no longer as a Junior) once i feel ready..
maybe at 23... who knows.
i learned a long time ago that being lean is the key, even in the offseason.
never had to bloat like a pig to grow, but sometimes you get ahead of yourself
and trick yourself into believing thats the only way...
slowly but surely...
next time ill try and have a nice carb-up and take shots in better lighting at the gym,
the difference should be a hell of alot better. i always like my post-workout look rather than
my morning look.
thanks for the honest criticism
