    Whoops my fat fingers I till you!! But looking for some constructive criticism on my back. This is just a relaxed stance. Mind you I'm as pale as Casper the ghost haha. Also I'm pretty tall at 6'8 so any areas to improve more than other would be appreciated! The whole back can use work but any area more than one!?

    Hard to tell unless you lean out. I know you didnt ask about legs but thickening them up wouldn't hurt. Being so tall you have long muscles. It's hard to look like a beast.... BUT..... If you achieve that status..... You'll look like a monster compared to a 5'8 guy.

    From what I see.... The width looks there. Thickness seems there but I can't see it from te side. Overall you just need more size. I'd DEFINATELY concentrate on legs tho

    Lol I agree with the legs man! It sucks I have terrible genetics with my legs. No matter how much weight or rep scheme I hit they have hardly grew for me. And trust me going a** to grass being 6'8 that's along ROM haha. But thanks for the advice appreciate it!

    What I'd be afraid of is widening your lats and delts anymore without the legs growing. Maybe Marcus can help out with the leg issue. There isn't a pair of legs on this earth that won't grow.... You just gotta figure out what u need to do to achieve it

    I split my legs up work quads one day Hammies the other

    So just for an example of one workout would be

    Leg extensions to warm up 4 sets 20 rep just to get blood flowing

    Squats: 135x20 225x15 275x12 315x10 315x10 365x6

    Hack squat with a narrow stance 4 set of 10 to 12 with 4 plates

    Leg press narrow stance or a smith narrow stance squat 4 sets of 8 to 12 if leg press 5 to 6 plates if smith 2 plates to 3

    And finish off with leg extensions 4 sets of 12 with 210 to 250.

    And hit calves 3 times a week.

    I agree 100% with you. Just being taller makes that a little more challenging is all. Which I need to figure out what to do.

    #1, dont wear Pink shorts, especially ones that look like you have a heart on your ass. lol

    6'8", yikes your a big boy and yes that makes it a lot more difficult. Yeah your legs are lacking but you dont have chicken legs by any means. I say work on them to gain size and it will help everything else including dropping some BF.

    You have long lat insertions which is great if you build a set of wings what you could fly with, use what you got and make them freaky. The picture would look better if you pulled your shorts up to your waist instead of hanging just of your arse. Thickness isn't that bad and to be honest many guys fail in this area but you seem from that angle that you have some decent thickness.

    Areas what I would work on are width, yes you have long wide lats but make them hang off you like slabs of beef. I would also work on thickness keep on doing what your doing lower lumber needs thickening up and traps but from what I can see you just need overall development to make it freaky. Now if you want to look better from the back get some triceps movement going, thicken those tris up and build those traps. I am going to be honest with you because i'm not going to blow smoke up your arse but you look like you have never trained your legs in your life and look like the typical spinning top bodybuilder who trains for fun.

    Your leg routine needs work, compact those sets, combine movements and train them hard. I cant fully explain in detail atb this moment in time because I am short of time I need to be somewhere in 10mins but come on a good heavy wind would blow you over so build those trunks and be serious with your legs because your not at this moment in time.

    One last thing, don't do dnp again omfg come on. Please no excuses all I am going to say is fuking hell wtf, enough said.

    I will help you with your legs and back development if you want some workout advice

    Marcus, please do update when you have a moment - my husband is 6'7" and legs are a bit of a struggle for him as well.

    Have you spent anytime in Marcus Diary? There's a ton of information on training to get HUGE. I visit this thread in the lounge bc Marcus posts Mrs Marcus routines there for those who are interested.

    Yeah I normally switch it up every leg workout between squats and front squats. I definitely feel front squats killing the quads a lot more than regular squats like they're suppose to! Did them yesterday and I'm sore as fuk

    Listen sir, If he's typing on American soil he's perfectly fine saying it because its not condescending here.

    If he's typing from inside Australia then he may be a proper cvnt as Marcus would say
