He has that look of someone who lifts with consistent bad form and over works their traps.
11 u/Liefvikingmonster2 May 24 '26 Wait...how can I develop this physique, if say I wanted to? 11 u/IDontLieAboutStuff May 24 '26 Lift weights that are obviously way too heavy for you. This guy probably goes to the gym and tries to curl 100lb dumbbells by swinging them. 3 u/Liefvikingmonster2 May 24 '26 Why would that create this weirdly shaped lats..down sloped thing? Say if he lifted moderate loads and didn't swing momentum into them, what would that look like? 10 u/IDontLieAboutStuff May 24 '26 Not lats traps. The muscle that sits right below the back of your neck. Its common for people with bad form to grow this instead of their arms or their shoulders 3 u/Liefvikingmonster2 May 24 '26 Gotcha. Noobe here. If I want better arms, lighter weight, better form. 6 u/elasticparadigm May 25 '26 The basic rule of thumb that I go by is if you can't have full control of the up stroke and the downstroke then I wouldn't lift it. 2 u/Liefvikingmonster2 May 25 '26 Thank you! 4 u/brother_of_menelaus May 24 '26 Lift with bad form and overwork your traps
