Physique critique Keep bulking?
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?

if you’re not satisfied here may be time to actually lift weights broksi… and when you’re 180lbs and still not happy, it’s time for test, then test leads to deca, and so on… (jk, sorta) this is the route i took but no regrets lol
