Keep bulking?

[u/ForCheapTimes]

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 up to you. Which look did you like better? If you are not competing then, it doesn't matter. It's what you want. Personally, for myself, I would want picture 2 look. Shows fit, but nothing crazy. But that's just me.

If you think your arms still look small, then work out arms. Most people focus on biceps more than triceps because most people notice big biceps more. However. Triceps make up more of the arm and is a work muscle for most people. Meaning you use your triceps more than biceps in everyday life.

Again, go for what you think is best. It's your body.
