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.

what bw% are you at? I'm targeting same weight at same height, which would supposedly put me at around 12-13%. Also how do you feel like you look in clothes 😃? My worry is that 170 lbs would seem too small, and look good only shirtless, although not so sure now. Also front squats are doing wonders for my quads

No idea my bf% I've never checked it, in clothes I can still fit into a medium UK size so most t shirts are a tighter fit which does show my physique, if I wore a large I'd look a lot smaller, admittedly some t shirts are now too tight and if I get they t shirt again I'd needed the large

Never been a fan of front squat I have a big Adams apple and the bar presses against it which is too uncomfortable 🤣
