Thread: weird body/ Critique

    Talking weird body/ Critique

    I'm thinking of running a cycle of test prop at 400 mgs/wk and primobolan or masteron at the same. I want to do it natural but my chest is terrible and even though I work it out constantly I can't seem to put on any lean muscle. I also can't get rid of the tire around my waist. I eat very well (4-6 lean meals) and run about 4-5 miles a day. Any suggestions on how I can achieve a decent chest or get an ab would be greatly appreciated Critiques welcome too.

    Damn you do have a weird body. Your legs look like they belong on someone else

    You don't need to cycle tho. Let your upper body catch up to your legs...

    i'm the opposite of all the douches in my gym: big legs, skinny upper. it sucks.

    johhny bravo guys benching 350 pounds and squatting half that, I do the opposite.

    it is a weird body, but so is mine. make it grow, and it will look really freaky.

    Have you tried low reps and heavy weight? You haven't mentioned very much about your chest routiene, so I can't comment on wheater you should start the juice or not. Post your routiene brother and many more people here will help ya out!

    I dont think you have a wierd body, I think you just need to thicken up..And chest is right I dont think you need to sauce anytime soon..You need to hang out in the diet forum..

    My chest routine:

    Dumbbell bench 4x12
    Incline dumb bench 4x12
    Bench press 4x10
    Incline bench 3x10
    Incline Fly 3x10
    Decline Fly 3x10

    I do this, rest three days and do again.

    YOUR OVERTRAINING!!! And since you are wanting to add size you should be lifting heavy w/ low reps... Pick only three of those exercises (maybe four) to do each workout, and also I would rest more than three days as well in between working out the same muscle ..You will find out that sometimes less is more ..Hang out in the Workout forum and make sure your diet is in check and you will grow!!

    Thanks getpaid. I actually thought I might be overdoing it a little bit but I've become kind of obsessed. I hardly ever work out my calves and legs and they are fine. I'll start trying heavier weight with about 5-6 reps. Maybe that will help. So I guess I should wait to cycle. I really want something to change though. I've actually lost about twenty pounds since I've been eating more meals and running a bunch. Is that hindering muscle growth? I used to be around 200 pounds when I played ball, and had a lot more mass. Now I'm only 178.

    depends, lets see what you think is a lean meal.. most likely you are putting your body into a catabolic state with the running.. great legs by the way.. narrow chest, my brother has the same issues as you, it's more about the food you eat though.. lower reps with heavy will build size... but we can't make your rib cage wider..

    Most of my meals consist of a meat high in protein (chicken, tuna mainly), vegetable (broccoli, salad, spinach), and brown rice. Breakfast is usually GoLean Crunch cereal or oatmeal and protein shake.

    good start

    i dunno how u rest for 3 days and hit it again, i workout my chest on thursday and its usually dead until the following wednesday, id say get rid of dumbell bench for a while and just keep incline/flat barbell as your core chest workouts, then follow those up with some DB flies, dips, and if u dont have someone to workout with at the gym ask someone to spot you and go hard every set , you never know how much you can do until you try, and if your not pushing yourself to get those +2 reps after failure your not going to grow as much as you can, just remember you never know how much you can do until you try

    overtraining bigtime.. its alright I used to do the same thing

    Right now I do this for chest
    an example..I do not do this every week..but volume is similar to this

    db incline
    4 sets of 6-8

    flat bb
    3 sets of 6

    db incline flies
    3 sets of 10

    thats it for chest. Do that one time a week. Eat enough food to support growth. Chest comes up.

    I'm going to start just doing chest once a week. I'll try heavy sets of six and just do 3 different exercises. Flat bench bb, incline bb, and flies. Hopefully I will start to see a difference.

    that would apply to most of your body too, I train everything about once every 6 days or so. Might want to look at your entire workout program. I also see where you are running like 4 miles per day, thats going to cut down on your muscle mass gains bad. Chances are now you arent taking in enough calories to cause much growth, since youre doing all of that cardio. I guess youll have to look at your overall goals, which is more important? Running or building a bigger body. I would cut back drastically the volume of running you are doing. Long time ago when I first started weight training, I was having trouble putting on mass. At that time I was cycling an average of 25 miles a day or more 7 days a week. Once I cut back on that, and eventually eliminated it, I grew like a weed. Went from 140 lbs to 190 lbs in 2 years naturally.

    i train chest with 12-15 sets per workout, 3-4 exercises, once a week. when i started i was doing every chest exercise i could think of at the time, for 3 sets each. i was doing over 27 sets for chest, and wondered when id get big lol

    you dont have a weird body, but, like chest said, your legs far outmatch your upper. it will catch up, dont be discouraged

    the 4-5 miles a day may be holding the mass back. Thats a lot of running

    Forgot to add...doing weighted dips in the 6-10 rep range will help thicken up your chest, I'd give those a try in your new routine. Make sure to lean forward and use your chest for them.

    I appreciate all the responses. I'll cut back on my running for a while until I can build up my chest a bit. I've been trying to bring out some abs because most of my fat is around my waist. I always thought running is the best way to do it. I've never really done dips so I'll give that a try as well. Really helpful comments, should have posted a pic a while ago. Thanks guys
