Since aesthetics is the main goal for looksmaxxers, not every muscle deserves equal attention.
1) Obliques
-A heavy blocky waist ruins the aesthetics and destroys the V taper if you ever had one.
-The only way to train obliques if you ever do is through Russian cable twists, once in every alternate week.
-Do add planks, hanging leg raises regularly tho for the overall core development, just not the side trunks.
2) Traps (upper trapezius only)
-Massive traps push your shoulders up, kill the long-neck aesthetic, and make you look “bulldog.”
-Slight development is clean and masculine, but overgrown traps make your chest/shoulders look small.
-They do add a good amount of intimidating look with a shirt on tho. But still not really aesthetic.
3) Front delts
-Why on earth would you ever train this? It’s already hammered enough on the chest press with the proper range of motion.
-If you isolate too much they kill the round 3D shoulder cap look.
-Just train rear delts (very imp) and side delts more and you are good to go.
