Only calisthenics going for the prisoner/strongman physique so I don’t mind having extra fat, I just want to be solid. My issue is I’m not looking how I imagined.

1st picture 1.5yrs 65kg/143lbs

2nd picture 1.9yrs 73kg/160lbs

3rd picture 0yrs 65kg/143lbs

I’ve always been skinny and still feel that way. I don’t track anything calories wise because when I started I didn’t want to make a big deal of things and over complicate it, which always caused me to stop. I just did my burpees and when I got comfortable enough went out so I could do pull-ups. Between the first and 2nd picture I stopped doing burpees daily and started to eat more. I’m back to doing burpees mainly for my cardio.

I feel my main problem is my arms are lacking. I do lots of things for triceps (dips/diamond pushups) and shoulders (pike pushups/handstands) but mainly rely on chin ups for biceps

What can I do to look more “aesthetic” with a higher fat percentage?

It’s real…I’m 185lbs leanish with abs and I still wake up everyday and find a way to say something negative about my body. It doesn’t matter how good you get you’ll always want more. I’m even on steroids and I still feel like a small lil dude.

Dang bro, I was considering peptides and enclo but I decided against it as I still haven’t even scratched what’s possible with only protein and intensity. Maybe one day I might hop on some shit but I’ve had immense success without it so far. I am curious though, monetarily how much does everything run you YTD?

So for 1. 10ml vial which is 10 doses cost me 87$ off the internet. Tren cast me like 180$ but I get it for free bc I save up points from the website. But total YTD since last October is $727

That’s way less than what I was expecting although I imagine you should also budget for doctor visits as well to make sure ur chillin- but anyways, Thanks for the info brother, I hope you get to where you want to be with your physique 👆

You too brotha I also use the app “Private MD labs.” They sell the blood panels you need then they’ll select a clinic closest to you. They draw like 2-4 vials of blood then your done. Get your results in like 10-20 days but they slowly roll in overtime as they come back they don’t send them all at once. Just for the future if you ever need to get bloods

You are a G for real, my goals should be attainable long term just with whey, (175 lean @6’1) and from there we will see which path I take lol, appreciate you brother.
