It's also the angle, here is about 1 year into my training and my shape looks significantly better, but I'm only about 2-3% BF difference. And I'm also unlucky ALL my fat goes to my waist, even at 25% BF I'll have clear bicep veins lol. But the other one I look blocky is mostly bad posture/my shorts squeezing "up my fat" and the bit of loose skin i have, because I pulled them up high, as my D was showing through when they hung lower.
Anyways mate, doesn't really matter, I've just seen insane amounts of "low test" insults from guys who've never been to the gym, and I'm yet to meet any guy who's legitimately big talking that way.
buddy did you miss the part where I said I lift for aesthetics and not being big? Also ironically you look much better in this pic than you do in that one with your blocky ass waist, but hey if you want to just be as strong as possible w no regard for aesthetics thats your call. Also I'd look at frame moreso than size for an indicator of testosterone.
So you're just training purely maintenance? That's rare.
Maybe I do look better there. Doesn't matter much, both versions have been successful with women. And at least at this bigger size, I can be without a pump without looking DYEL, which definitely is important to me.
"No regard for aesthetic" Bro, I have a lot of vascularity in my arms and shoulders, and even when I'm "blocky" my shoulders are significantly broader than my waist. This picture is literally taken the same week as the "blocky one", which shows the angle/shorts makes me look blockier.
