You look big and "yes....you look like you lift"
Big arms, shoulders and chest, but the giveaway unclothes (IMO) that some-one lifts, is the trap size and the lat width!
Looking good

[risingcougar]

I dunno why else you'd shave your arms so yeah, I guess so.

You look wide but not fat.

[jtbryant420]

Yes you deff look like you lift.

[iBeLifting1]

Yeah.

[hardNheavy2011]

You can tell by your forearms and frame width. Good work bro.

[ninjad00d]

5'7 200 lb? are you a power lifter? serious question

[jmstrings]

5'7 200 lb? are you a power lifter? serious question

Nah, although I ate and lifted like one for 3-4 months to get to the 200lb mark. When I weighed in at 202 I decided to start leaning down.

[TrueBLOOD1]

Yeah you look like you lift bro. I agree with the other comments on the traps... keep working on them

[JPA02]

yup

[jmstrings]

Word I don't really hit traps directly, what exercises do you recommend? I like doing pullups, upright rows, deadlifts, and shoulder presses. That's really the extent of which my traps are hit, mostly indirectly.

shoulder shrugs bro!

[jmstrings]

shoulder shrugs bro!

Dumbbell or barbell and how heavy? I usually do interval and cross training. I also recently (this week) started doing DB farmers walks for 3 sets of 1 minute each.

[kiwidrax]

You do look like you partake in some sport or just plain lifting, your back to waist ratio needs work though; 3:1 is the new forum standard


For traps, try shrugs on the standing calf machine, it takes the grip factor out of the equation and you can lift much more and work those traps

[poundeloh69]

the photo is too short

[jolanar]

Yes but considering the picture is a gym, and your in gym clothes... it's kind of a bias. I still think you do, but just saying those 2 create bias if you wanted honest answers.

I do both.... go as heavy as you can with good form between 8-12 reps. I like to hold the peak contraction a bit longer to really "feel" it.
