>lifting consistently, progressive overloooding cycling creatine for 1 1/2 years
>1g protein/pound and eating consistently for the past 6 months
I feel like this is going nowhere, my shoulders and chest have an incredibly tough time overlooding and my wide ass hips just make me look even more unaesthetic. Is this even solveable with lifting or is it over? And if it is what am I even doing wrong?

You're not eating right
>1,5 years
No way you've done anything that comes close to consistent, heavy exercise with progressive overloading.
Lift stats?
Food?
Routine?
125lb bench
97lb overhead press
26lb lateral raise
130lb lat pulldown
don't train legs consistently so my squat is shit
also yeah I've only bulked for like 6-7 months
You've been pussyfooting around for too long or training wrong. You shouldn't look like you don't even lift after that long.
>5'10 180lb
no, i dont think so
really heavy legs ig, a lot of my bf is concentrated on my legs
how the FRICK are you 180 lbs
theres no way
he has a monster dump truck ass
How many days a week are you lifting? Doesn't matter if it's consistent, anything less than 3 days a week is a waste of time for a beginner.
Also if you've been lifting consistently for 1.5 years and spent 0.5 of it eating for a bulk or a cut, you basically wasted 1 year maintaining your dyel body.
What program? If you've been doing sharting strength I bet you are 180lbs in the ass and thighs and nowhere else
I go 4 days a week and my split is push, pull, back+chest and arms+legs
You train like shit brother there's no shot you have this little progress
>cycling creatine
you're not suppose to cycle creatine anon, you just take it every day
Serious question. Do you even lift?
What are you macros anon, you didn't list them, which leads me to believe you don't track anything. You can't expect to make any progress if you don't even know what macros you're eating.
I just care about protein and calories, 180g protein and 2500-2800cal a day (no I don't dirty bulk)
TRASH
I have the same problem as you OP, been training for 8 months, gained 8kg but nobody would say when I'm on the beach ("wow, do you go to the gym?")
That being said, there is a big difference between those pics. Granted, you still look like shit, but a lot less shit than the pic on the left.
Just keep at it.
Look man, I'm feeling generous today so I'll tell you exactly what you need to do in order to get aesthetic and escape the mode you are in. You can ignore every other post ITT.
First, understand that standing barbell OHP and pullups are the 2 most important exercises for you, your workouts should be based around them and you should do them as often as you possibly can (meaning that you are not sore and are properly recovered). Form is everything on these exercises, your first order of business is getting the form down perfect. Practice with light weights until you can feel all the muscles contracting, until you can feel the burn to the point you can't lift anymore. At your level, you will be weak as shit on the OHP for some time, accept it and diligently focus on it and progressively overload baby weights until you reach at least 1 plate for reps. Push yourself as long as you can keep perfect form. Start with 5x5 with light weights, if you stall, switch to 3x5, and then 3x8 (alternating between 3x5 and 3x8 to break through plateaus is the most effective strategy in my experience).
As for pullups, your form should be perfect, no kipping, legs straight and facing down (after you get good at clean pullups you can start incorporating L-sit pullups and explosive variations especially when you'll be training for the muscle up). Do them from dead hang and do them slow, pull from your back. When you will be able to do 15 slow strict full reps, and OHP 60kg 3x5, you will have a V-taper. Keep in mind you still have to do other exercises, you should focus not on getting stronger on lifts only, but on killing the muscles every workout. Do lat raises until it hurts too much to raise the arm for even a few centimeters. Do lat pulldowns until your lats refuse to do any more work. You can still make it lil bro, I was in your shoes and managed to find the way out by trial and error, I wish I knew what I had related to you earlier. Good luck
