Given how small his everything else is, the only thing bigger arms would do for his aesthetics is fuck up his delt:arm ratio and make his delts look nonexistent and his chest look smaller.

If this man had lats, he would have biceps
>>
Biceps could be fine. Triceps is what's missing in that pic. Looks laughable.

Do a supinated grip from time to time but yea...

My delt:arm ratio is heavier in favor of arms than i would like, and i have literally never isolated.

>mfw dyels think you can progressively overload all of the vast musculature of the back, without also overloading your tiny weak bicep
If you can find a way for me to keep growing my lats without growing my bicep, i will be in your debt
>>
>>37943255
Post a pic, I bet you're just fat.
>>
>>37943238
>he doesnt also work delts
Tell me how your triceps require more training volume than your pectorals AND your deltoids combined.

I would argue pectorals can handle more training volume than tricep alone, let alone when you train delts as well.

Arms are nice, but when they are wider than delts, or you see big arms on a guy with NO back or NO chest it looks 100000% unaesthetic
>>
>>37943275
170lb and 17% bodyfat.
Would rather not post a pic, but i could if you truly insist...

To be clear, i am not saying "my arms are massive bro"

I am saying "proportionally, they are bigger than i would like, compared to my tiny delts and back"
>>
>>37943298
>17%

LMAO you're nearing 20% bf and think your delts are disappearing because your arms are big.

Fucking delusions man.

The pullover machine was designed with exactly that in mind. Free-weight pullovers hit lats too, but can't avoid using the arms.

Nah i have what normies call a """4-pack"""

I have been well under 20% for a while now.
17% is conservative, and if i found out i was 16% i would be less surprised than if i found out i was 18%
>>
>>37943333
My friend has a disgusting amount of fat on his belly and huge love handles and has a 4-pack. Abs being a little big visible mean literally nothing, specially the easier ones to show.

This is the kind of fat fucking retard who tells you not to isolate arms.

Pic is no flex, no sucking in, and bad lighting.

I can take a deceptive pic with good lighting, flex, and sucking in if you want

Hell i could even do some sit ups first and get a bit of a pump going.

I am sure the difference in pics will be noticeable

5'9 duke of manlets
170lb
Since mid january until a couple weeks ago. Was cutting weight for like 1.5 years before that (used to weigh over 260)
>>
>>37943447
stop being so deluded, man.
>>
>>37943581
I never said i was jacked..

I just said my arms are too big for my tiny ass delts, and i never train arms.

How is this hard to understand?

Then you said shit that is plainly untrue about my belly and hips. Given that i have a mirror and functioning eyesight, i thought i would try to clear that up
>>
>>37943580
Impressive progress considering
I wont lie, youre not juicy big but youre not fat. In fact youre quite the opposite and seeing as how its since january thats some crazy progress over 6 months

Keep lifting and for gods sake get yourself a phone
>>
>>37943044
I fell for the bicep meme too, my tricep is 3 times larger than my bicep.
>>
>>37943595
I have been given phones multiple times by multiple people, i just give so little fucks about them i leave them outside and forget em for a couple days and they get rained on and my bfs get mad at me for not caring about their iphone bullshit.

you have some serious scapular winging you might want to address bro.
>>
>>37946254
Maybe because that is all you need cap'N. Push Triceps, Pull Biceps. Isolation.. lol do curls then. Anything more is a waste of time unless you have shit genetics. If that is the case, stay out of the gym as far as hypertrophy and bodybuilding is concerned.
>>
>>37946272
I have pretty bad scoliosis. Could that be the cause?
>>
>>37946255
This.
A lot of problem is noobs doing 2 presses per pull

A vertical pull for every vertical press.
A horizontal pull for every horizontal press.
Body symmetry = gud proportions
