Building a Monster Upper Back

A huge and thick upper back is the hallmark of the alpha strength athlete. Only those with the fortitude and will to train with the requisite intensity will achieve the kind of upper back that literally intimidates and inspires awe in all who see it.

If you truly want the biggest and strongest back possible, it is necessary to combine the best of both the powerlifting and bodybuilding worlds!

Ripped that's for sure. Right arm looks quite a bit larger than the left. Overall though you are in excellent shape.

his bf is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW...

His bodyfat is probably sub 5%. He looks like he's prepping for a contest. That's just about as low as I've ever seen posted here.

I don't see any noticeable difference in arm size. I think it just looks funny because he's off-balance in his double-bi poses.

Dude..I can't believe you stood around in the gym in your loin-cloth!

Lots of vascularity and striations, especially in your upper body. Not so much in your legs but it's hard to tell from the photos. Very impressive abs as well.

Ripped as hell. Looks like there's a leg imbalance? Left looks smaller in a couple of pictures. What's your height/weight? Overall, looking really lean.

I don't know what it is never bothered to get it tested. Though this is probably the end my cut today. I'm 5'11" 165 pounds or so. Pretty light but I like being smaller kinda.

Here's a thought... perhaps he doesn't want to get bigger?
Looking great man.

Crazy level of leanness and vascularity on the upper body! what are your goals, aims etc...

Wonder what level you'd have to get in order for your legs to shred up?!
