just get bigger
This. Too small to see insertions. Candidly, from mwhat I can see, these are fine. Not as low as Franko, but not high like Wolff. Somewhere in the middle.
Buy yeah. Get bigger.
I was checking Instagram and found a reels from my gym where a girl posted a self in front of a mirror and I was in the background
I think I am good at this shit, I am getting big with two lumps of muscle over my back
do you think this girl ever wondered who is the handsome devil in the back of her selfie?
I am not interested on relationship
I have lived 10 years my life in relation to a woman's life and all it did for me was regret
I want peace these days... I am 36 and everything is much more calmed now
I can see things more clearly
I am good
I was just trying to give you a little confidence boost, anon. I wanted you to think "you know what? I am a handsome devil"
So this is for you
Enjoy brother
thanks bro. that is a nice mushroom
It is the magic one
nice cube, must be a Floridagay

what’s with your skin
if u grow tall really fast in your teens you'll get stretch marks like that.
manlets will never understand
what lats
>what lats
wats taters precious?
wat
If you’re not a bodybuilder it doesn’t really matter. But not trying to be rude, the insertions aren’t the issue here. The issue is that your lats are not really developed at all. Your upper back, on the other hand, is. Seems like you have a poor mind muscle connection to the lats and other muscles are taking over during whatever exercises you are doing for them
but i’ve been spamming weighted pull ups and rows
>these compounds didn't isolate a certain muscle!
almost like they don't do that
but i also do chest supported t bar rows
Just do lat pulldowns and pullovers until you get the connection to your lats
>weighted pullups
You’re clearly using every muscle except your lats to do them. I’d drop the weight and try to build the mind muscle connection to your lats. Really tighten the core, all the way to posterior pelvic tilt. Nearly 100% of guys who do weighted pull-ups arch their back and get subpar lat activation. It’s extremely easy during rows too to shift the tension to other muscles
Grip is too wide, do them with thumbs at shoulder width
Wide grip pull-ups primarily target the latissimus dorsi and accessory muscles, promoting a broad back, while close grip pull-ups intensify the activation of the biceps, brachialis, and upper back muscles.
If you go too wide it shortens the ROM and shifts the emphasis to the teres major, which as we can see from the photo, is quite developed, especially compared to the lats, which are barely developed.
I've been told, though haven't verified, that neutral grip pullups are better for lat activation. Probably worth giving those a try, non-weighted of course and focusing on using the lats more than the back.
>but i’ve been spamming weighted pull ups and rows
A lot of people that spam pull ups have very well developed upper backs and lacking lower lats. Dont know what rows you doing but try doing some different ones. Try a neutral close grip t-bar row and rowing to your stomach area, with the right angle you will feel that in lower lats. As for overhead pulling try a neutral medium to wide grip lat pull down

Dealing with perceived "shitty" lat insertions, which means the point where the lat muscles attach to your skeleton, can be frustrating for some individuals. Here are some tips to cope with this:
Focus on What You Can Control: Genetics play a significant role in muscle insertions, and there's only so much you can do to change them. Instead of fixating on what you can't change, focus on aspects of your physique that you can control, such as overall muscle development and body composition.
Work on Overall Muscle Development: Building a well-developed back through targeted exercises like pull-ups, rows, and deadlifts can help create the appearance of a thicker, stronger back, regardless of insertions.
Vary Your Training: Incorporate a variety of back exercises into your routine to target different areas of the back from various angles. This can help maximize muscle growth and improve overall aesthetics.
Focus on Form: Ensure you're performing exercises with proper form to effectively target the lats and minimize the involvement of other muscles. This can help maximize growth in the desired areas.
Be Patient and Consistent: Building muscle takes time and consistency. Stick to your training program and be patient with your progress. Over time, consistent effort can lead to noticeable improvements in muscle development and overall physique.
Embrace Your Unique Physique: Remember that everyone's body is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. Embrace your unique physique and focus on becoming the best version of yourself, rather than comparing yourself to others.
Consider Professional Guidance: If you're struggling to see progress or feel confident in your training approach, consider working with a personal trainer or fitness coach who can provide personalized guidance and support.
Ultimately, acceptance and patience are key. Focus on building a strong, healthy body, and appreciate the progress you make along the way.

based this is how im gonna start responding to dyels
Change your grip width for pulling/rowing exercises. Maybe you need a different stimulus for your lats to grow.
closer grip for pull-ups equals more range of motion for lats
you're not spreading your lats properly here anon, I'm not really sure what you're doing, it looks like ur flexing teres major or something. Just look up how to do a lat spread
you forgot to lift i think
they look just fine, your lats are jsut small. i think ive similar insertions but bigger lats
just put on enough size to it doesnt matter anyway
do you put special emphasis on lats and traps training or is it genetics? these two groups are far ahead of everything else (in a good way).
traps for sure genetic, they were large even when i didnt deadlift, I'm convinced heavy squats are enough for them, but for lats it took pain to make them grow, tons of pullups (which is tough enough when you're >200lbs) and a good amount of cable work, my backside as a whole is lagging behind my front unfortunately, but im working on that
>my backside as a whole is lagging behind my front
u wot? if I was you I'd spam triceps and that's about it. if your front is actually more impressive than your back what's your stack?
>triceps still wont grow dammit ;-;
no stack just some creatine recently and a frick ton of high quality food
I know that feel but at least you don't have to worry about your back any more. it's definitely proportional to your front. as for arms, they're rather long, right? that's my situation. the only thing that helped me a little bit with triceps was doing high volume with comically low weight (to make the volume bearable on my elbows and shoulders). this is not advice though, you're like twice my size.
What's your routine?
PPL
good heavens no, full body got me most of my gains, currently doing 5/3/1 though
what’s wrong with ppl homie
i dont like it, ppl/UL is a better way of doing things
Just gotta keep grinding. Mine got a long way to go, but putting in the work is showing. Wide grip pullups are king.
First of all you don't seem to even know how to do a lat spread you fricking moron
