back into bodybuilding. although bodybuilding and me still seem like an oxymoron...Ok, my body is weird and so I need to figure out the best way to go..My upper body needs bulk, yet my legs seem heavier, and I have child bearing hips for a man. I have that pear shaped look. I only have a clothed pic, but you can get the drift, but without clothes you would see my dilemma
What would be a good program to build my upper body. I am afraid if I work my lower body extensively that I will look better, but a pear shaped better.
I wish I had enough guts to place a clothes challenged shot, but I am too shame based.

Your legs dont really look big in that picture, you look like just a normal, everyday person. Pear shaped?
Just try a basic, full body routine..itll beef you up some.
Deadlifts
Squats
Bench Press
Military Press
Barbell Curls
Dips
Calf Raises
Stiff legged deadlifts
Bent Over rows
Chins
You cant really give specifics wearing clothers completely covering your body, even a pair of shorts and a tank top would help if you feel embarassed.Last edited by ja2001x; 10-19-2002 at 11:35 AM.

To me, at least by that picture, you don't look bad at all. Muscular not at all but overall healthy.

First comment, what were you pissed about
Really depending on your goals alot of folks would rather have your situation. From the body type you discribed you will be a natural at squats. My last partner was built like you, he made me sick when it came to squats. If it's size you are going for you got it made. Do a basic routine and work on the diet to lose fat, diet is key. Turn the negs into poss. They are not child bearing hips, they are weight bearing hypes which will help make your waist look smaller when you lose any fat there. Also strong legs help build mass over all your body. Look at the pro's, look at there legs.
