This might come off as a very silly question or pretentious but I am entirely serious. I have always liked the androgynous look (disclaimer: I am male and heterosexual). However, I also enjoy lifting very much. I like being strong, being active and I have been lifting for half a year now. My body is forming aswell and I do think it looks good the way everything is slowly shaping around, but it is perhaps not the most aesthetic I could be, for my standards.
Pic related is something I consider incredibly aesthetic. I adore the hourglass form going on, which is contrasted by the very sharp masculine features of the body. I enjoyed the relatively bulky and strong looking upper legs, which lead into a slim core, leading into broad masculine shoulders. Would something close to this be achievable while also being strong? Or will being strong always require for you to have a strong, build core with defined abs? I actually consider abs to be rather unaesthetic, but would like to have a skinny stomach. I would like to have a relatively flat chest, I also do not consider huge chests to be very pretty, on a man at least.
Any useful advice? inb4 kill yourself and you're gay

It's Andrej/a Pejic, a fashion model. Born with a dick but by now it is cut off and goes by the name of Andreja.

derp I obviously don't want to look like a skelly, I just want to emulate the same proportions and the general aesthetics of it
>>36980258
You're not going to be able to emulate the proportions without also being pretty skeletal. Too much of it is reliant on frame size as the base and muscle mass is limited in how it can change that.
>>36980146
don't progress with lat, shoulders, forearms, back and chest obviously if you don't want that
concentrate a lot on cardio and abs
you'll still have to train everything for balance but as long as you stop progressing when you hit your goal you're good to go
Don't these proportions closely follow the early bodybuilder ideals from the 1950s, only with an underdeveloped chest? It would even follow Greek standards if you ignore that they had a very developed core. Pic somewhat related.

Obviously Frank Zane was huge and you also cannot change bone structure, but you can still see how in those earlier days they aimed more at aesthetics. It was about having a huge upper back, huge legs and a (relatively!) tiny core. If you imagine the chest to be underdeveloped aswell, you would get closer to this distribution of proportions in the OP.

forgot pic
Boyer Coe had underdeveloped abs and chest (probably shitty genetics), so would fit that mark. For some reason he had huge obliques though.

OPs pic related was on hormones for ages before admitting to being trans

>Obviously Frank Zane was huge
lot of great things to say about zane, but in comparison w those he competed against i'm not sure i would describe him as huge.
>>36980494
Compared to guys like Arnie? No, he wasn't huge.
Compared to people other than competitive bodybuilders? Pretty big guy.
>>36980494
He wasn't huge to the then erupting trend of bodybuilders who went for an insane amount of mass, but if you were to compare him to your average gym normie, he would absolutely dwarf them in terms of muscle mass

I'd totally smash the person in the OP's pic - assuming everything was still intact if you get what I mean ;)))
