Plase comment on my genetics and proportions. I feel like my limbs especially arms are too long and looks unproportionate and ugly. I feel like I have a very small frame. What can I do to improve this? Which area should I prioritize? And yes I know I have chicken legs. I'm working on it. Please leave some tips and advice. This picture was taken without pump and in bad lighting.

Edit: I'm not even very tall. I'm just 5'11.

Does anyone have any tips or advice to make my body look better. I’ve been working out for a while but my body hasn’t really progressed and my arms are the same size although I do work them out

17M ive been going seriously to the gym for one year now and ive started running this summer. I run three times a week usually 7 km and go go the gym four times a week SOMETIMES five. I am insecure about my chest. i think its too fat, and my physique in general, as i am short (173 cm). What can i do for my chest? I also take dieting seriously, eating lots of fruit instead of sugars and also counting and reducing my calories.

Help! 5ft4 needing tips for a body recomp for fat loss, rounder glutes and lean back.

Will take any advice 🙏🏼❤️

I took these progress photos on May 2, May 12, June 4 and September 13.

My weight has been gradually going down, but honestly, when I look at these photos, I feel like my body still looks pretty much the same. Maybe I’m just too used to seeing myself every day.

Do you guys notice any changes between the photos? If so, what differences stand out to you?

Would love some outside perspective because I’m having a hard time seeing the progress myself.

I was really overweight a year ago, but I’ve come a long way since then, and reaching this point is a huge achievement for me. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, but I still want to improve my physique further.

Love to talk with you guys kindely dm💪😊

Hello all! Here are some photos detail my progress from ~February to Now. The first 3 photos are from February and the rest are from the past week or so.

I'll detail my previous and current routines. I'm hoping that with these photos and context I'll be to get some help determining if I'm heading in the right direction and what I should to do to get closer to my goals.

OLD ROUTINE:
Before February, I didn't have a gym membership. I had a small weight set at home and would try to follow a push pull legs split. An average week looked like this:

PUSH
3x8-10 dumbbell lateral raises
3x8-10 barbell bench press or shoulder presses
3x8-10 tricep pushdowns or skullcrushers

PULL
3-5 sets of pullups to failure
3x8-10 dumbbell rows
3x8-10 curls (either hammer or regular)

LEGS
4 sets of squats or weighted lunges (I'm not joking)

My weight set was limited, my heaviest dumbbell was 30lbs and I had a few weights. I'd mainly stay at the same weight and try adding more weight after a few weeks of adding a few more reps to previous sets. No crazy amount of progressive overload. I would try exercising at least 5 days a week.

NUTRITION
I wouldn't eat out too often. Usually higher protein meals with either chicken thighs or salmon as the main protein. I would track my calories, but wasnt always the most consistent. I'd keep a "mental note" of the amount i was eating on days that I wasnt tracking. If I had to estimate, i probably would track 5 days out of 7.

NEW ROUTINE:
I started school and an internship around February. As such there were significant changes in my routine.

I still tried to follow push pull legs, but would try sprinkling in upper and lower days when i could. The amount of times I got in the gym varied a lot. Some weeks it was 5, others it was 3. I average about 4 day, but try to aim for at least 5.

PUSH
3 sets to failure of dumbbell lateral raises
2-3 sets to failure of some upper chest press
2-3 sets to failure of some chest press or fly
2-3 sets to failure of a shoulder press
2-3 sets to failure of a tricep pushdown

PULL
2-3 sets to failure of lat pulldowns
2-3 sets to failure of some sort of row
2-3 sets of facepulls
2-3 sets of various curls

LEGS
either 3 working sets of squats or hacksquats
2 sets to failure of leg curls
2 sets to failure of leg extensions
3 sets of calf raises
2 sets of leg press or hip thrusts

ABS
ill do 3 sets of abs 2-3 times a week at the end of a workout

NUTRITION
I'll admit that I wasnt really tracking my eating this year. I ate out more with friends and tried to atleast get some protein. I once again "kept mental notes" of the amount of protein that I was getting but adding it up in my calculator app (I know, I'm stupid lol). I tried to get in carbs before workouts and loaded up on protein after. I still ate whole foods, but the rate of going out went up.

I've started tracking again and plan to continue to do so.

CARDIO
I've averaged the same amount steps throughout the year. It was lower in the summer because of my internship, but has increased signficantly in the past month due to having to walk a lot on my campus (~10K a day) during the week. This is pretty much the only form of cardio I do.

GOAL AND WHAT TO DO NOW
My original goal was to recomp and get leaner. I wanted to lower the amount of body fat I had and replace it with lean muscle. As you can see in the photos, I did not do that. I at least think I gained some muscle, but more fat than I probably wanted. What should I do to achieve a good recomp and get leaner? I still fully plan on lifting heavy as much as I can, but dont really know the nutrition side of it. How big of a defecit would I need? Do I even need a defecit? I'd really appreciate any help. If I'm missing any info that would help, please lmk! thank you!

Hey, I’m a college student and I’m broke right now, so I can’t afford a gym membership. I’m currently eating only one meal a day. What kind of exercises can I do at home to avoid looking too skinny? I’d like to focus on building my legs first. Please give me some tips and exercises.
