Good goal. Is one side larger/smaller than the other?

Curious; Do you do weighted oblique (side bends) work?

The main problem with my symmetry is that my legs are my worst bodypart..As for my obliques,i don't train them

Do the basics, squats, deads, legs press, thicken up all over and your legs. But when training legs, throw in some single leg work. One legged leg press, one legged squats (Tim can maybe link you to a vid of him doing them when he trained with Roelly) one legged legged extentions and curls. And lunges are good too.

As for training them twice a week, I'll be totally honest, if your training with full intensity for legs, you won't physically be able to train legs again like 3 days later!

You could however do a rolling schedule - just have an order of what you train and then when you get back to the sale body part, it's about 4-6 days later so you end up training each body part like 3 times in 2 weeks roughly.

Biggest thing I can say tho is that what works for one person may not for another. So training twice a week on legs could be the best thing to bring up your legs, but it also may be the worst? I know what works best for me through trial and error over the last 8 years so I'd never tell somebody not to try something or a certain method. Trying something to know it doesn't work makes you better in the long run as you end up knowing what works best for YOU

Damn it won't let me copy paste pics and I'm on iPhone. This will take a while. Lol

Ill show pics from high school up until now. The first pic I was a freshman in hs and stayed that size until the start of senior year. Ok I grew a little and probably naturally added 10 lbs but it didn't look like much. 2nd pic I was 18 and had been lifting for 7-8 months. Then the rest will follow. I have to keep saving because I'm on iPhone and it crashes a lot so I'll make new posts as I update. Hope this shows you can be a twig and grow

I started lifting for multiple reasons, bishes, just to look good, to resemble 80s action heros and so I could get bigger for darts.

Last one not srs

now that we're derailing a bit... i worked in a gym last year and a mom signed up her 16 y/o son (granted he was really scrawny) and she was asking us "what tubs do i have to buy so he can get bigger"

so in theory that kid started lifting for...mommy?

[wjs010]

Decided to pop a few. Its do hard. I've become very inflexible since 180 lbs lol


















Some at gym some at home. Wow Sorry about lat pic quality and terrible lighting. Imagining where to red button is on the iPhone and posing is quite the task lol. Soon will have pics outside for good light and someone will take them for me. This was just a bulk update, maintainence rather.

you're too high in BF in those pics to really judge muscle development..

[wala]

Your quite thick set wjs, hard to believe you were skinny. (I too was very skinny, bout 150lb at 5'10"/11" when I was 20) looking good overall.

Tim, that's the worst one of all, lifting to impress his mother lol

[wala]

I think so yeh, def not 6' I'm sure. Plus if was taller with this physique, I'd weigh more than 205 (or I would hope so ha)

[wjs010]

[wala]

I would have guessed 6'1 220 lol.
