What's up guys this is my first thread. I'm trying to get huge and still get good aesthetics; like a Greek god.
Sorta scared to bulk as I don't want to gain a bunch of fat.
Do I need to bulk? Or cut? Notice my right pec is bigger than my left and hangs down a little lower. Tips for this? Should I STOP bench pressing and just to dumbbell press?
Same thing with my traps....My left trap is much bigger than my right trap. I rarely work them out too. Any tips?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm pretty excited about lifting hard again and starting to really get serious about it.
Any help/tips? Opinions/ 1-10 Ratings? etc.
I want my body to look like these guys':
This is where I am at now:

thanks guys. Looks like a clean bulk it is. Here are some pics from about 6 months ago during my prime. Hopefully my new prime will be in a month or 2.

those two guys have very different builds. i think you'll mostly likely resemble the bottom one, you'll need to add substantial muscle though. you might want to focus on your core a bit more.

Yea my goal is to have somewhat of a mixture of those 2 guys. a tiny bit more lean than the top one, but a little more bulk than the bottom one. Yea thanks I'll work core a lot more. Do you think I can still develop a better core while bulking though? Maybe weighted ab workouts? get deeper cuts right?

absolutely. that's actually what i meant to say. weighted crunches, decline, machine etc etc are one of the most under utilized exercises for abs. my first ab exercise i aim to fail w/in the 5-10 rep range.

repped. and damn, 5-10 reps that's crazy! yea I will start doing heavy weight on those ab machines starting now. No more than 10 reps seems like a good start for me. Hopefully I'll see a difference rather than doing 192038 crunches like always.
Anyone have any other tips to reach my goal?
rating?
opinions?
