I just cannot get over how shredded Fred Rollon was. Super aesthetic! I think I could actually achieve something similar if I stay consistent with the expander!

That's a combination of a clean diet and exercise.

Not to put you off, and I've no idea if it's the case or not here, but a lot of old photos were touched up.

His left bicep is quite bulbous. His triceps are huge too! He was shredded to the max

I'm definitely gonna get there one day. Three months of expander training: Kinda neglected the lats a bit. They are barely developed at this point. Will be interesting to see how they look like in 3 more months of training. I will train them more with overhead downward pulls and rowing. Crazy how the expander builds your back muscles. I hope the Fred Rollon photo is authentic because his physique is exactly what I am aiming for and I believe it's achievable with enough time. A little more mass in the lats and arms, and you're almost there. If you're around 5% body fat as you said in another thread, I don't think you should trim down any further. Keep in mind that Rollon's pic is in black & white and with higher contrast than yours. Than definitely enhances definition. Good job, kid. Keep at it.

......... Keep in mind that Rollon's pic is in black & white and with higher contrast than yours. Than definitely enhances definition. ...... I would not be surprised if JRG is already as big in the back muscles as Rollon. Like Joseph says, he or his photographer have used an angle of lighting to cast high contrast shadow and light in an otherwise dark room, at an angle that makes any small surface undulation in the skin appear to be a crater or a mountain. One of the ways I've checked flatwork in total darkness is to lay a flashlight down on it and shine it across the surface. Any minuscule rise in the floor or foundation will show up like a mountain. That's also how I find teeny-tiny objects if I drop them on the floor and can't see them right off.

Keep in mind that Rollon's pic is in black & white and with higher contrast than yours. Than definitely enhances definition. Good job, kid. Keep at it. It's so easy and comfortable to train with the hook expander, it's the single best training tool I know. If I always had to drive to the gym for my workouts, I would never work out as much. With the expander it's very uncomplicated. I just grab the thing and workout wherever I want. It weighs nothing, makes no noise, and within seconds I can increase the resistance. Underrated training tool To be fair I don't think I'm at 5% bodyfat anymore. I now eat a lot more because I wanna be in a calorie surplus for optimal muscle growth. I have shirts that fit me before christmas and now do not fit me anymore. The chest expander kinda increases the chest circumference, the whole shoulder girdle grows a little. Yes my lats are very underdeveloped compared to the rest. I'm gonna focus much more on overhead downward pulls now. I will also do more overhead presses because I wanna get those round cannonball shoulders haha. Interesting that you mention arms because I was contemplating to cut out biceps and triceps isolation exercises altogether. I just feel like my arms particular my biceps grow a helluva lot faster than anything else. Wouldn't the time I spend on arms be much better spent on compound exercises like front chest pulls, overhead downwards pulls and overhead presses? I could cut out the arm stuff and increase the volume of those bigger exercises. Or will the bigger muscle groups eventually catch up anyways? What do you think?
