Extremely balanced and well developed from the front.
Back could come up quite a bit though. Legs...!? A mystery 8)

Legs aren't cut enough to show, but 9+ years of Taekwondo and my weight should be enough to tell you they're not small lol

Traps+lats need to come up a lot more than your front IMO. Arms are very well balanced, delts and chest are nothing to snuff about for a natural. If you were to compete, your back would be hurting you the most for sure.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I actually started working out last week. I am making graphical work for a dude, and in exchange he's being my personal trainer. Working on abdomen and shoulders/arms mostly. Will post results.

Arms have always been a strong point, IMO. Chest and delts have always been lagging, but my chest has come up a lot this past year. Wouldn't mind having a wider back, though...and bit thicker so that everything pops out like Lavado (no homo )

Re: The Fitness Thread
Reach a0 has convinced that Starting Strength is bad based on advice from you. What is a program I should consider as a beginner to get good gains quickly?
Currently doing this exercise routine: http://newbie-fitness.blogspot.com/2...d-5x5.html?m=1 and using SS to try to teach myself form based off the beginners guide from SA. |

SS is a fine program for strength gains as a beginner. It's also good for learning compounds. As a bodybuilding program it's awful and squatting twice a week overdevelops your legs and leaves you with chicken arms since there's pretty much no arm work in it.

Re: The Fitness Thread
It's not necessarily that it's "bad" it's that given what people want, "good for a beginner" and "good for strength gains" SOUND good but do not represent what people undertaking these programs actually want. Since beginners don't really know what this entails, it sounds like you're set up for success but you probably won't like the actual results you get. The closest analogue I can think of is in the dating world, where "nice guy" as a label of partner sounds completely inoffensive until you realize that's one thing on top of many, many things you'd want in a person.
You will get strength gains, yeah... and they will be extremely concentrated in your legs. Your strength gains in your arms will be, probably, not as much as you thought they would be. It's not a uniform strength gain all around. You can tell that people who undertake this program have this misperception, since they tend to take pictures of their upper body first or primarily. Doing two sets of deadlifts and bench presses two times a week is not going to do much for you. Also, there's been no talk of diet here -- how much is your caloric intake? Unless you're eating to caloric surplus and getting a lot of protein, you won't make many gains. If you're new, this is definitely the most important thing. Most people don't eat enough at first; I know I didn't. |

Better than SS Quote:
It also doesn't really have any 'core work' though some people argue squats and deadlifts are enough for core (depends on your physiology and abdominal activation during those lifts. For me? no way). It's mostly a leg building/lower back building routine IMO. That's fine for biking/sports. Aesthetics? Not so much. The routine mnnicol posted will leave you looking much better, aesthetically speaking.
