Anything I can do for the belly? Obviously I'm going to keep bulking for a long time but....the last pic...dunno if its the angle or not, but kinda accentuates how i add fat to my belly first. It almost looks like 2 pics merged together. Let me first say that my diet isn't the best...and i haven't done any ab work. I guess I answered my own question here...just looking for some input. Any idea on body fat? I have some calipers but not getting accurate readings. I get like 8%..lol. Finally, any strong/weak point comments would be really helpful. Something seems off, maybe my chest is way behind?

Thanks

focus on your chest and shoulders, arms look pretty good. and start doing some ab exercises. your belly is going to stay like that as long as your on a bulk, 95% of men store 95% of their fat in the stomach region (i made those stats up but you know what im saying) but once everything else is where you want it and you cut it should be the first place it melts off from, and the ab exercises you've been doing all along will reveal your accomplishments once its all burned away.

solid gains, you look a lot better. that being said.

muscle looks too lean in my honest opinion. you need to reevaluate how you are bulking. also re-evaluate your routine for the future.

If you worried about your pouch i'd throw in some cardio and keep your calories between 1800-2200 mark along with lifting you'll slim down in no time. For anyone thats ever tried lifting without a 'bulking' diet most will say you can good solid gains without a calorie overload which the majority of people around here seem to think you need to gain muscle mass.

For me as an example im gaining 1/2 inch on my arms every 2.5-3months and thats without adding a single pound of fat to my overall frame.

You came a long way man great job. I would just keep packing on more muscle good job with gaining all that weight though.

Good luck

^^^^^^^^^ Arms do look much better! Great weight gains. You said your diet isn't great...concentrate on that and you should see more/better improvements.
