Posture and shaping

[bigred869]

So after a few cycles I have a good amount of muscle on me, but I seem slightly out of proportion.

1) My triceps are too big. Should I try to tone them up or train my biceps more?

2) My lower chest is too big. What are good ways to build my upper chest and possibly "raise my chest higher"?

3) My arms seem too far back (possibly because of my lats) and it looks like I'm "bowing up" all the time. What's a good way to push my arms forward?

and

4) It seems like my shoulders should be higher. Do I need to work them out more or work out something else or is it just a bone structure thing?

Thanks.

Why train something less, train your bicepts with higher weight to balance.
I suspect this is ALL due to you having just a little too close grip on your bench (puts more work on your tricepts, taking away from chest)

2) My lower chest is too big. What are good ways to build my upper chest and possibly "raise my chest higher"? Well, in one word; Incline.

3) My arms seem too far back (possibly because of my lats) and it looks like I'm "bowing up" all the time. What's a good way to push my arms forward?
Simple push/pull. Your back may be more developed then your chest is,.. which is probably from a more narrow grip on bench giving your tricepts more then your chest, leaving your chest workouts a little less effective. go about a half inch-inch more wide on each side on your bench from now on. Your chest developement should pick up enough to even you out.
...actually, in theory, THAT ALONE would salve every problem you have mentioned... Funny isn't it
and

4) It seems like my shoulders should be higher. Do I need to work them out more or work out something else or is it just a bone structure thing? Bone structure plays a part in things, but "higher" could mean a few things. I suspect some heavy shrugs could help, or some lateral raises to give them a little more width.

Thanks I'll give it a shot.
