I am the OP, but I haven't uploaded any pics of myself

And I'm not trolling. Whilst I understand maintaining the back is important, I don't actually want or care about having a big, muscular back. In fact tbh I think they look really weird and ugly a lot of the time. Hence why I asked if pull-ups are enough just to maintain an okay back ?

I would disagree with you if you think this means I have a mentality thats doomed to fail. Im sure there are many bodybuilders who have bodyparts they simply don't care about building, perhaps calves or whatever. I don't want people to think I only care about chest arms and abs, I know perfectly well the importance of back, delts, etc etc but just keeping it simple, and matching the dudes in the pic who haven't got technically incredible bodies, they've just obviously done the basics well

i must be thinking of another thread where the op uploaded a pic sure it was this one.

Hah. Once you start you will start wanting more and more.

150 was my initial goal. Once I got there 160 started looking good. Then 170. Then 180. Now I'm looking at 200lbs, and I guarantee once I get there, I won't be happy.
And that's probably when I'll hop on the juicy juice

No point using steroids they just make people look like Super Mutants.

Good progress, but let's see a comparison shot where you're standing the same as in the first photo.

Working in a gym probably helps.
Plus they probably do all the girlier things (waxing, tanning, moisturising) which give the body a cleaner look.

lol...
I train with guys on that picture

Its IS down to genetics

Decent training program and decent-ish diet
Some drink a little due to the amount of PR work that they do

By doing curls in the squat rack, by the looks of it.

What's the point? Really? I'm barely over average size, and still have a lot of fat. I'm not exactly ideal, but I'm gonna ****ing try to get there. If you're happy with your 150lb physique, that's your choice. Personally, I want to get as far away from that look as possible.

I weighed myself at the gym today, 177lbs on the money . So I weigh the same as you and I don't even work out? I think I was right when I said we would most likely look the same in clothes. Pictures are good at showing muscle but they aren't good at showing overall size, hence why you thought I weigh only 150 lbs.

See what me and effofex are getting at, is that as long as you have a decent frame to begin with, you don't need to work out loads to look like those guys do.

More not sure if serious here

Your body compositions are completely different. There's no point being the same weight if he clearly has more muscle than you

insertions are down to gentics, but they all have different shapes, so op isnt talking about one shape specifically.

getting that size is possible no matter your genetics. the time taken to get there is dependant of genetics. 2 years it should be attainable for 90% of the population.

Agreed calves are like one of the best muscles.

you do not need to 'train' for 2 years to look like that.

If you have a naturally high metabolism (low BMI) all you need to do is a few press-ups, sit-ups and chin-ups and it is quite easy.

I have a very high metabolism, just below average BMI (Though Im very skinny.), over half a year of hard work at the gym and I was only just starting to develop muscle tone.

Few press-ups and situps my arse.

Even if you are very skinny you will still have muscle tone.

It'd be a clearer indicator of your progress than when you're posing to exaggerate your shoulders.
