Hey everyone!
I'm a 23 years old male i currently weigh 80 kg(176lbs), and I've been training consistently for the past two years, my quads and hamstrings were trained mostly using exercises like leg curls and leg extensions to limit glute activation. However, I’m not completely satisfied with the progress so far. I think the lack of squats, deadlifts SDLs and RDLs is holding me back.
For my next bulking phase, I'm planning to prioritize building my upper chest, upper back, and shoulders to help add size to my upper body. Once I’ve made progress there, I’ll shift my focus back in the successive bulking phase to improving my quads and hamstrings, especially with squats. The reason for this approach is that when I bulk, my glutes tend to grow a lot, which creates an imbalance between my upper and lower body (even though I’ve naturally got wide shoulders) i dislike the lack of a balanced "thickness" between my glutes and upper body.
Does anyone have thoughts on this approach? Does it sound like a solid plan? Would love some feedback from you all!
