What do I need to work on?

[Big Poppa Pump]

I have been training seriously for about 5 years. I started below 130 lb. and am now 160 lb. I am all natural, but am planning to start a deca/test cycle very soon. I know my abs and bi's are lacking. Let me know what you think.

your chest and claves look good, arms need to catch up

Exactly. I think you need to work on legs.

Your profile says 7% BF but the side view shows upper abs out as far as pecs. I still think you are in healthy range but its more like 13%. Not bad, that is a body fat percentage that will assist in further muscle growth but dont do like I did and let it blow up to 20% before you realize its time to cut back. Its easier to never let it exceed 13 to 15% then trying to get it back down from 20%. May want to adjust daily calaries slightly or better yet increase cardio in your program.

This is particularly important because one thing about deca is in my case I grew great muscle on it, but thats also where I went very rapidly from 12% to 21% BF and it happened very fast in a 10 week deca/test cycle. You feel great because arms, shoulders and everything grows but I do beleive deca can grow fat just as much if not more then muscle. Understanding this, I would say dont listen to guys telling you to eat 5000 calaries a day while on deca, you'll be at 21 to 25% BF FAST doing that!

Cardio on deca will NOT hurt your gains and will help control the gained fat!

BTW, I was just about your weight and build before my first deca cycle that shot me up from your BF percentage to 21%. I was 33 waist and 160 # before, at end I was 35 inch waist and 180 #, but did gain inches in chest, arms, thighs, etc. Now after being careful I am back down to 32 waist, 10% BF and 185# and can see obliques very well without flexing, abs with flexing and better separation of pecs but its taken 6 months of cutting while on roids and IGF to get that darn fat back off without loosing muscle.

Looks good so far.

I would assume your legs need work because you haven't shown them to us. If I had to pick anything else....maybe your lats.

Good Luck

Thanks for the posts, I'll watch my BF%, and yeah, legs are lacking, thats why I only showed calves, haha. Thanks again.

Just keep eating and hitting those compound movements. You look as though you could be at 180 before needing to worry about any fine-tuning. One thing: maybe start giving your back and shoulders priority over your chest.

Good job thus far bro.
