How important is back thickness vs Back Width ? (Gymcelling thread)

[Bonesbonesbonesbone]

Theres two parts to your back when it comes to asethetics, back thickness and width. Width is mainly from your lats and the thickness comes from the middle, upper and lower portions of your back which only slightly grow laterally but mostly in thickness imagine as if you had a lump on your back.


when it comes to getting hoes, does back thickness matter much with a shirt on or off ? @Orc

Bruh can u just answer the question

 

[ascenscionisnear]

Width is all bideltoid. Once again genetics is law.

 

[Orc]

it's the same thing, the only reason it looks different from person to person is because some people have high lat insertions and others have low insertions.

I guess some may call upperback like rhomboids "thickness" (which barely contribute to the V) but otherwise you're right.

Oh, but your middle and lower traps, rhomboids, and tera major dont rlly matter much right ? Im pretty sure the only muscles that matter if ur looking to attract girls are lats, rear delts and partially your rhomboids.

So the only muscles that really matter in your back for female appeal is lats and rear delts ?

the lats are a singular muscle group, so isolating specific parts of it is kind of cope.

you pretty much can't train your lats without these muscles being involved, there's literally no need to isolate them.

Everything matters, but width is most important, girls like back definition in the rhomboid area also when u have shirt off.

Doesn't mean they are sufficiently stimulated with just lat work. Ofcourse if u train 20 sets it will prolly be fine.

3. Lat Pulldowns

4. Face Pulls

5. Bicep Curls

6. Hammer Curls

I might stop doing flat bench, and just do all incline bench now. What do you think ?

 

[basedblackpiller]

Neither one matters

Fine strat but u need some lower chest work imo.

Fine ill do some volume for lower chest

Probs good if ur beginner, but if performed well u dont need 2. (Doing excess work as beginner is prob smart cuz ur not gettng most out of ur sets so u can guarantee adequate volume by just doing more work and ensure growth (my view)

more volume isn't more gains.

 

[Loveland]

It is if ur not sufficiently stimulating a muscle

 

[whiteislandpill]

With is law, you want a V shape with wide shoulders and back and a narrow waiste. Thickness in your upper back is only attractive to 30 year old roidheads

 

[zharupodrugu]

Its nothing to care about. If you do both horizontal and vertical pulls your whole upper back will grow anyway

Thickness - Less important for aesthetics but more masculine, makes you seem like a gorilla.

Width - More important for aesthetics as it makes up the back
Both are important and should be focused simultaneously as you can’t have a complete back with those, also the traps

 

[Skywalker]

width is everything and waist to shoulders IS everything imo
you wouldnt believe how someone close to 2:1 with that wasp waist look IRL unless you see it- its super rare and trully a work of art

then.,....if you see "gymcellers" yet they have a 1:1 ratio they look weird and ugly lol

a small waist with broad shoulder is a huge halo, no one can tell me otherwise
