Are height and shoulders the most important factors when it comes to looking big?
After all, your height and shoulder width define the overall width and height of your physique.

Stop bullying Will, he looks great.
I do like meaty legs tho :3
Checked true.
Will looks good, but he could look better by fixing up his posture.
Post body.
It's all about mass. Height is the biggest predictor of how much mass you may achieve, second being shoulder width. The limit to how much mass you can gain is set by the golden ratio in terms of width. Go against it and you'll look funny. Although your back has no real limit to how big it can get since it will never subtract from aesthetics, unlike quads, shoulders, chest, obliques or upper traps can.
>your back has no real limit to how big it can get since it will never subtract from aesthetics
I disagree, guys with overdeveloped lats look awful from the back as it bulges out from the mid-lower back like a turtle shell
I think from the back you can look as barbaric or as brutish as you want since you can still look aesthetic from the front.
If you have huge lats you better have huge traps too otherwise you will look stupid imo.
Disproportion I do not like, excluding the shoulders
huge traps look like shit. guys like steve reeves intentionally avoided working the traps because they detract from the appearance of shoulder width.
only works if really handsome, otherwise you get major nerd neck syndrome
neck has nothing to do with traps. reeves trained neck
whatever
again OVERDEVELOPED traps do
you keep making appeals to proportion anyway
>again OVERDEVELOPED traps do
all "huge" traps are overdeveloped
whatever, I cant change your aesthetic preferences
>6'2
>Like 1.9:1 shoulder:waist ratio
Look like shit because I can't get below chubby
ffs do cardio
Why have you still not cut fatty?
shouldnt shoulder width be measured from the top? that way you dont get the issue like in pic rel where reeves' arms are a little more raised giving a wider measurement, that being holy frick those quads are far too big
My shoulder/waist ratio is between 2.0 and 2.1. I'm too shy and small to post it though
homie that just means you're a skeleton, go eat
I'm not even that lean. I've visible abs but that's because I store my fat on my legs and back
are you measuring properly then? 2.1 seems a little extreme
I'm measuring on my phone due to phoneposting so it's not very accurate. Tried to find a better picture to analyse and got closer to 1.9. Idk my shoulder size but Ive a 25 inch waist
You can be my blood boy.
dude on the right is the opposite of me
I have huge shoulders and pecs (love bench and OHP) but little twig arms (lanket feels)
Thicker neck, shoulder tucked down flaring the lats, thinner waist, thinner legs.
Will could actually look amazing if he addressed his weak points.
right needs to lay off the squats lol and i hate those pig noses.
Yes.
