Vets come in and critique my progress..

Nkredible Posts: 12 Joined: 2005/04/16	2005/07/20, 08:09 PM I'm 5'10"...172lbs...started seriously lifting consistantly about a year ago..lifting 3-4 days a week..all upper body..I dont do any focused lower body lifting but im a very active basketball player..i usually just rely on that to keep my lower body toned atleast. I admittedly hardly do any ab work and that's what i plan to work on soon.... I was 160lbs when i first started so i've definately put on some weight and alot of muscle. I'm not really sure if my physique is "proper"...i believe i've done a good job, but im curious to hear what other vets out there think of it. I need opinions on how i look as a whole, as far as shape and form, and if theres any areas i need to work on. Below are pictures i've take recently...i need some good feedback on my upper body minus abs...thanks in advance http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Nkredible/c4cead2a.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Nkredible/000_0199.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Nkredible/000_0183.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Nkredible/Militarypress.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y158/Nkredible/Photo169.jpg honest opinion and helpful feedback is needed..thanks
