I want to do physique, 181lbs

I’ve read through the entire thread and I’m in agreement with most people on here. The one thing I’d say is all your pics are from the front and relaxed. Maybe try and get a back shot and/or flex. Right now you like straight up and down from chest to hips. I compete myself, and in my super relaxed front my back doesn’t show but from the back you can see I have a bit more mass. I’m not huge by any means but have had top placings in my last shows. Classic physique is more for me though. I think you should really focus on adding width up top to help with your waistline. It’s a little easier than shrinking your waist in my opinion. With how lean you are, I’d say up your calories while trying to grow your upper body, you’ll get further faster than staying that lean if you want to compete.

That is exactly what I did, will get a progress pic up here soon.
Worked on delts, chest, bis and upped the calories, big change in look very fast.

Great to hear and look forward to seeing the progress pics! Give yourself some time growing the areas above and your lats. That way when you diet down again you’re not losing your new muscle. Have you picked out a show yet or just focusing on getting everything dialed in still?

Yes I am working those parts extra hard, more calories, and going to do it the right way before stepping up.
Everything is looking more V shaped by hitting those areas, it's great
