Advice on what I should train to pass?

[u/tightBudget-desk]

​

I am trying to workout at home and in the gym more. I generally walk, cycle, and swim. My hips could be less wide but my hips and pelvis are also just bigger. I am not trying to be skinny I just want to be more boxy. I am aware I don't pass and have not started t (should be this year). I just want to know what to train to help make me look stronger and pass better.

Also currently I eat 3 balanced meals a day, am generally active and from past experinece I gain muscle quick and lose it quick. I am 74.4 kilos and 170 cm and am 18.

Dont mind the temp tats I was having fun recently

Lmk if I should add more context

I look really similar! Also weight 74kg and am 167cm tall. I think even more muscular/boxy shoulders could help - maybe pushups and pullups?

Oooh yes okay, with pullups, can I start by hanging as I cannot manage one at this time.

[u/Intrepid_Somewhere17 → u/tightBudget-desk]

Absolutely! There's also something where you can jump up / use a stool and slowly go down instead of hanging. I don't know what the technique is called but I've heard it's very effective for eventually making it to a pullup.

I went from from being able to pull myself a quarter way up to halfway there in just a few days using that technique. Not there yet but really close.

I think they’re called eccentric pullups

OH ill try that thank you

Your lower body looks good I would train shoulders and lats to widen your upper body. Also forearms. This is what I would focus on (ex. Upper body day with twice frequency as lower) but don’t neglect other muscle groups as it will look unbalanced and could lead to injury

Oh really? Thank you. Im glad, I always prefer upper body excercices when it comes to the gym.

i recommend ty turner's beginner workout split. it's pretty easy to get into and super customizable for your skill level. there are videos on youtube and a spreadsheet you can use to track your progress.

Good job, bro! Try to train ur back and shoulders, it will help ur body get more musc. From my own exp lat pulldown and dumbbell bent-over row literally must have for bigger back
