    The guy who's flexing in those photos is NOT chubby. Congratulations!

    You look like you've been lifting with a good amount of success, so you should probably pay less attention to BMI than if you were scrawny like me. That much muscle will put your BMI into the overweight range even if your body fat % is fairly low.

    Be right back, I have to contact the Advertising Standards Agency for duplicitous misrepresentation. We were promised a chubby flexing guy.

    Flexing? Check
    Guy? Check

    But chubby did we have? No!

    haha!

    I am going to come clean: I actually avoid leg day. My legs are so big genetically that I actually purposely didn't work them at all for a few weeks hoping they'd atrophy a little bit. Obviously I'm back to working them, but the size doesn't really correlate to strength believe it or not. I work them directly once a week, sometimes skipping a week because I treat leg day as "expendable" if I'm busy.

    My arms are the same way. I rarely work my arms directly, and when I do it's never extensive.

    The muscles I work the most are my lagging parts. My chest and back are comparatively small/lagging compared to my arms and legs, but my chest and back are "strong" compared to my arms and legs.

    So, it's a lot of genetics!

    As always thanks again everyone for all of the nice comments. You make my day.
