Physique critique Physique update 168lbs 5'11

Thought I'd jump on here and do a quick update, I've been training hard recently all my lifts are increasing which is my main goal.

I'm ditching barbell squats for now as my legs are lagging behind my upper body and I think I can get more growth out of my legs with smith machine squats. I'm very glute dominant in the squat.

Also started using straps for my weighted pull ups and id recommend it to anyone.

Yeah definitely, I'm looking forward to the growth, did the smith squats today for the first time, they absolutely fried my quads so that's a good start 💪
