bf% and physique critique

**spoon69** · 06-24-2012, 07:37 PM

I am getting my bf measurement done in a week or two but still couldn't hurt to hear opinion on what it is. also i have been a endurance athlete all my life so up until now really did not lift for size but is my physique good to build on for bodybuilding are the genetics there. i know my chest needs a lot of work lol chest and tris are my smallest body part. i am small and lean currently bulking just weighed myself at 187 height 6'1. My goal is to get my weight up to 225lbs over the next two years and be solid then work on my physique very intensely for a year or two after that then do a show.

Yeah my girl is pregnant and don't feel well and took the pics im going.to try and get a better one of them later but i was not ready when.she took it my legs need a lot of work but flexing them they look a lot leaner and they have good size im posting a pic from like two weeks ago two were you can see whole body and one from a couple years ago where u can see body and legs in one but i have pants on so its just to get a idea of my frame.

**spoon69** · 06-24-2012, 08:00 PM

The dark out of focus one with me in pants is bad quality lol and im in a lot better shape now as you can see. that one was two years ago.

You got a good base to work with. 20-25 solid lbs more you will be gtg. My observation: your back is going to over take the rest of you body. You have low lat insertion which is great. Its already thick. I would concentrate on incline bench movements for a while. Leg days are going to suck. They just do. Until you come out of the hole with an ass load of weight on your back. Then legs are fun. Diet and training. You have been asking enough questions to know the drill. Its a marathon not a sprint you will be good.

**spoon69** · 06-24-2012, 08:15 PM

Thanks man that's what i wanted to know. time to bust my ass lol.

**spoon69** · 06-24-2012, 08:22 PM

So with my back taking over how do i avoid that do i stop doing certain lifts till the rest catch up? My back is nice because i use to do pull ups eod and a lot of them lol. lower lat insertion what does that mean? Im really new to bodybuilding still learning. being symmetrical is the biggest thing right?

Haha until you go to walk out of the gym later and have to walk up a flight of stairs. Then legs suck again

Stairs suck but when you go to sit on the toilet and your legs just give and you hit hard. Then you still have to get up. That sucks.

I say like 12%. . . When I was under 12% I looked similar, just with less muscle.

**spoon69** · 06-24-2012, 09:44 PM

So that's pretty good considering i am natty up until now and on a bulk right?

I say so.

I was in the low 170's about 3 years ago, looked good just not big. But, I'm only 5'10".

**cue_artist** · 06-24-2012, 09:59 PM

I would put you 11-12 % . Great base bro i think you need to work more on your side delts and legs. Try doing some heavy l-laterals

**austinite** · 06-24-2012, 10:15 PM

Outstanding job, Spoon. 12% looks about right. Keep it up, champ. Don't stop eating.

**Jaxkiller** · 06-24-2012, 10:26 PM

I'd say 11-12%.

**spoon69** · 06-25-2012, 06:53 AM
