Makes sense.

To answer your original point, women find a physique like what Glen Powell has to be very good looking and muscular, and that can be achieved even by someone with bad genetics for bodybuilding like me, it just takes a lot longer.

Now, going to a higher level of muscle mass than that, most women wouldn't find it sexier. It's like the male vs female gaze, the bigger you get, the more you get compliments from guys, women's attraction to muscles doesn't require guys to look like CBUM. A movie star physique is pretty much all you need for looksmaxxing. Choosing to go beyond that is just a matter of personal preference.

I don’t even have like the fat look I have a V taper despite being chubby, I’m going for athlete look due to being a pro boxer

My goal was always to look like this:

I started looking like this at 18 years old:

Today, I look like this:

I'm similar to this but with with a few differences (smaller triceps, bigger traps, a bigger neck, wider lats, bigger legs, and I'm not as lean):

I only started training my triceps seriously very recently, that's why they are so small.

But compared to my starting point, I'm very proud of my progress and I'm happy that I managed to grow my neck to almost as big as the guy in my profile pic (Tom Welling from Smallville). At school, I was always the skinniest guy, and always picked last due to how weak I was in strength and in cardiovascular endurance, now I am more athletic than most guys, and I look better than a lot of guys I used to know in high school who got fat.

good progress man looking good

Thanks, I'm still not satisfied with the size of my triceps, biceps and forearms, and I want to get my chest a lot bigger, but for the other muscle groups, I am pretty satisfied, so I've been doing a lot more volume for those muscles to get them to grow, and also been doing more side delts since it's an area I often neglected in the past, and I'm getting great results from that.


My arms now grow at a rate of 1/8 of an inch every 2 weeks or so, which is really good. By the time summer of 2025 comes around, my arms will probably be around 15 or 16 inches and will look decent for my height. 18 inches is what I'm really aiming for.

good shit bro keep it up i personally prefer intensity over volume

 

[Deleted member 88653]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm doing, currently on a lean bulk of 2 lb gain per month and my lifts are consistently going up. I prioritize my arm training by putting it before everything else and I train at home so I am able to be a lot more consistent with it.

 

[Saint Casanova]

No pic no care

 

[Deleted member 88653]

good shit bro keep it up i personally prefer intensity over volume

I also train to failure but perform 15 weekly sets for triceps and biceps each. Most people can get away with 6-8 weekly sets and they'll still make progress, up to a point. But volume should always be increased when a plateau occurs over the course of 2 weeks, because when all other variables are accounted for, lack of volume is always the culprit.

 

[grungymallard97]

How tf

it’s just built up natural strength over years of exercise and boxing n swimming

I don't really go for pump, more for a rep goal while keeping form the same. If I can do 50 reps total in 5 sets of 8-12 reps, I know I can increase the weight by 5 lbs. For triceps I use a 60 rep goal, just because the weight goes behind my head, so to avoid injury. But I'm getting great progress from that.

Measuring my arms and tracking it on paper helps a lot with motivation.

I thought pump=more growth or maybe I’m wrong? is it about volume rather than tension and stretch in muscle

 

[Deleted member 88653]

It's not about the pump, but causing muscular adaptations.

This is achieved through progressive overload, by doing more reps or more weight for the same number of sets without cheating on your exercise technique. That phenomenon is understood by most of the fitness community.

The one thing that very few people are aware of is that eventually you will hit a plateau, where for 2 weeks or more you won't be able to add reps or weight to your lift, and if you've been eating enough, sleeping enough, and doing everything the same but you still have that plateau, there can only be one explanation, your body needs more volume (more sets) to continue the muscular adaptations.

Example: If you usually do 3 sets of 8-12 reps twice a week, you might need to start doing 5 sets. As little as you need to see growth is usually the best amount of volume but you won't know until you experiment. But if you grow from 6 weekly sets, doing 12 weekly sets is kind of pointless. But if you need 15 weekly sets like I do but people tell you it's too much and you reduce it, you will not grow.

Volume is very individual, some need more, others need less, but the stronger you get, the more volume you need to cause more muscular adaptations (progressive overload). The only genetic limit is when you are at a point with like 18 inch arms where you're at a plateau for more than 2 weeks and doing more volume would make it too difficult to recover from your workout, that's when you know you're at your limit. But guys do like 6 weekly sets with 16 inch arms, and are stuck in the plateau for years and years and then they're gullible enough to think they just need to get their bench to 3 plates. Truth is, direct arm work is the way to go for big arms, and the same goes for any other muscle group, direct work is always better.

The issue is most fitness channels never discuss this because their main audience is novice lifters. Anything will work for a novice, even suboptimal programming, because they're new to the gym. There should be more channels targeting intermediate and advanced lifters but if they did that, they would get less views, and a much smaller audience, and that's why basement bodybuilding (one of the only channels who does it) has way less subscribers than all the others.

Really big actually, but you might have body dysmorphia (bigorexia) which is common among those who were either always big or who used steroids

It depends on how much volume you're doing, if you're on a push pull legs split, you probably have plenty of volume per muscle group. It's usually more the people who are following minimalist programs like stronglifts who get plateaus early on, due to a lack of volume.

I've been doing upper lower since 2021 and I used to do full body before that. But I only started maximizing the volume on upper lower very recently and that helps a LOT

 

[Deleted member 88653]

270 lbs for reps can be done naturally but truth is, being that strong doesn't mean you will have a good physique, because there is more to aesthetics than a big chest. It shows in my physique by the lack of muscle in the arms. it almost makes me look like a DYEL, I mean if people focus only on that aspect. So I've been training my arms more seriously, I gained an inch in the past month, most of it was muscle memory though, but the last quarter inch I gained was completely new.

True and some of them have really good genetics. I remember back at my high school there was one guy who was very muscular and we were all 17 years old.
