Nigga looking like prime D'Angelo. Y'all inspirational

Height: 5’9
Weight: 188 (last weighted 2 weeks ago)
Splits: PPL (no days off currently)
Diet: Keto (Surplus)

Yo, I’ve been grinding in the gym for a while (almost 9 years) and I’m seriously thinking about pursuing fitness professionally, either as a coach, influencer, or model.

I wanted to ask y’all for an honest critique of my physique, how do you think I stack up compared to some of the influencers/creators out there right now?

I’m also planning to go back to school to study fitness, nutrition, and marketing, so I want to approach this with real intention, not just vibes and fake guru bullshit

Here are a few recent pictures. Not claiming I’m elite or anything, just want real feedback.

Thanks.

Yeah fr, diabetes runs deep in my family so I’ve always treaded real lightly with my diet. I’m not full-on keto, I just try to keep things clean and balanced. I get my carbs mostly from fruits (mainly berries), unsalted nuts, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and an ungodly amount of avocados

looking good. you need to work on your v-taper and lower abs more tho

look up workouts that make you bend backwards, kinda like you were sitting on a medicine ball and reaching backwards to the ground, or like upside crunches and stomach vacuums

pretty much look up TVA muscle workouts. this is our transversus abdominus and it’s a cylinder layer that wraps around our abs that’s centered around that lower ab area. in order to target it, you gotta “stretch” your abs. when you’re done it’ll deadass feel like your lower abs are “pulling” as you walk around

trust me once you incorporate it, your abs will become even more washboard and start giving you that 6 pack look to really further separate yourself if you tryna keep up with influencers

but overall? I’d say go ahead with whatever you want to do bro. I’m 9 years in and look similar and it just gets to a point that you not going to look any much different outside of those small details you and I can see. So I’d say just dive into your ideas and let that other s*** come along the way, but I’d follow you if you start posting bro 😄👍🏾

Ngl, I’ve hit abs the least out of everything, I’ve been trying to get back into a proper rhythm with them lately. Was thinking of doing more dynamic core work, mixing in some cardio and muscle endurance stuff on my off days to really build that area out. Definitely gonna look into TVA focused movements and lock in with the GHD machines

My chest and my lats (IMO) are probably the weakest parts of my upper body rn. My chest has always been stubborn, could be genetics, but I lowkey feel like there’s still gains on the table. I also avoided flat benching for a year and a half or so cause of a shoulder injury, so I’m kind of still playing catch up a bit. I’ll definitely try tweaking my diet a bit like you said maybe a slight carb bump will help with fullness too you never know

But yeah, I really appreciate the feedback brother

hell yea bro, keep going you dedicated

I can without a doubt tell you that in a different league compared to the average nigga at the gym but that’s not what it’s about, but it’s good to know

Definitely get back under the bench again soon. I was dumbbells for years and now I’m strictly flat and incline bench. I also do the wide chest press machine, this will really help you too since you said you lagging in the lats area. I’d incorporate the bent over row machine that you can plate load and front lat pulldowns to get those lagging areas king

It’s type 2 that runs in my family, my pops, my grandma, and at least 4 of my aunts and uncles have or had it. I’m not taking any chances trust me lol.

if its hereditary there is still a chance you can get it even t1 my grandfather had t2 skipped my dad then i got it at 5 then my dad got it for t2 anyone can get it even if its not in your family t2 depends on how you eat exercise etc and as we get older our bodies produce less insulin and we become more insulin sensitive

That’s interesting, I got a few different little accessories over the years but haven’t seen those before.

My gym has a larger hex bar with wider handles that roll
