    Considering this list is so heavily stacked in favour of areas that people are more likely to see on a regular basis (neck, face, forearms), I'm surprised calves are as low as they are. I mean similarly to forearms, your calves are the lower body muscle that are going to be on display way more often than the bigger quads, hamstrings and glutes. Personally as someone who wears shorts all summer, I'd have them much higher. I also think well developed calves just look super impressive in general as it's an area that soooo many lifters tend to massively neglect, if not skip entirely. Seeing huge calves irl (on someone who isn't obese...) is just kinda rare The footballer (soccer player) Jack Grealish is a great example of this. He is basically skinny In every muscle group, like most athletes in a cardio-based sport. But his physique still gets a lot of attention because of his great calf development

    The only thing I would argue for this list is the upper chest. I would probably put it in the first tier, having a well developed upper chest not only looks very aesthetic when shirtless or with tank top but it totally changes the way t-shirts fit you. Also looks great when wearing v-neck or when you open a button or two while wearing a shirt.

    If you have some development in the lower chest but none in the upper chest you can straight up look like you have man boobs. Easily the first obvious improvement to my physique when I started lifting was filling out my upper chest. Shirts fit better and when shirtless I actually looked leaner at the top while bulking because of the pec separation starting to really show.

    Yes it goes understated how just like upper back a big upper chest shelf completely changes your appearance in clothes even from the front. When you can see it in a hoody you're doing something and it doesn't just look like man tits. Omar isuf pioneered the priority of training upper chest years ago for this aesthetic purpose. That's why whenever I'm not training to improve my bench strength i let it casually take a back seat to low incline chest training.

    Yeah, I think the fear of looking wide due to overdeveloped obliques is misguided. I don't have super wide hips, but I do hold fat in my love handles and thickening my obliques definitely helped my midsection look more powerful and less doughy. Also there is some research that suggest spot reduction might actually be a thing if you perform heavy cardio after putting a muscle group close to failure. I think Brendan Tietz had a video on it somewhat recently .

Obviously working out a muscle group will cause greater mobilization of fatty acids from local fat cells. However, if you don't do cardio after resistance training, re-esterization will likely occur and you'll get spot lipolysis but not spot reduction.

    I think you seriously mixed up some of the top two tiers, but all your content is always appreciated. I think your top tier really only works for a very specific look. For a more broad spectrum jacked look, the lats, rear delts and triceps are going to have a much larger impact than the neck, face, and forearms in my opinion. Not that they aren't important, but you will get more bang for your buck with those muscles. Commenting for the algo tho. Been following you since like 10k subscribers. Love your videos!

    the top tier list reminds me of alphadestiny's 'naturally enhanced' program/book, with the exception that he rated the hamstrings and glutes as top tier for looking yoked. he put the hamstrings even above the chest, saying that you can completely skip benching as long as you do overhead press, but never skip hamstring curls.

    OHP still hits the upper chest a decent amount, especially since a lot of people when doing seated presses technically still have a bit of an incline going. But you kinda have to go out of your way to really train hamstrings, and I definitely see people who never train hamstrings and it makes their legs look a bit "weird" from the side/back imo.

    I would rate calves quite a lot higher, by 2 tiers, but it depends on genetics and frame, for some people it can look super impressive, like those on Steve Reeves. Big calves balance out the legs, and makes jeans fit better and if you have large feet it can help deframe the clown effect.

    I think the hamstrings deserve to be in tier 2 because without them i dont think you can be packed to the max. I've seen many a times dudes wearing 5 inch shorts when they have alright/decent quads, but have genuinely non existent hamstrings and theyre whole leg just looks comical. But i workout in a gym where its half wrestling, half weight training so i see a ton of wrestlers. And these guys since theyre in that hip hinge/staggered position all the time pushing and picking up other big burly men and absorbing force in that way their hamstrings are JACKED asfuck. They wear their singlets and the hamstring is just this big slab of meat that just hangs and it just gives your leg this 3D and wide look thats very necessary for good size in the legs Your criteria for this tier list was mostly based off of if the muscle increases the frame- and i can say surely that the hamstring is the one muscle that contributes the most to to the frame of the legs.

    Great and funny video! I’d make a few changes myself though. Calves would be above quads, and rear delts I think are absolutely more important than side delts. They give you the full round 3D appearance. Side delts won’t do that from the side (ironically) and the back. Also as much as I love me some lats, I don’t think I’d put them that high. They’re mostly invisible unless your purposefully flaring your arms lol. But having traps, neck and forearms in tier one was spot on!

    Nah, big quads make your legs look big and strong even if the calves are relatively small but big calves don't really give you that strong look if your quads are small and weak. I'd say all the delts are quite much as important, if you have big rear delts and small side delts, your shoulders might not look quite as round, and if you have small rear delts and big side delts, they won't look wide enough from the side. Big lats will touch the shirt a bit when standing and they'll pop out when sitting. I'd say they're in the right tier, quite important but maybe not the most.

    @@Jcampz01 That sounds like the exact same experience as me. I got into rear delt training for injury prevention at first, but then I got some significant delt gains. Used to do band face-pulls, but dumbbell W raises & reverse flies on bench have been wayy better. I know Alex Leonidas said he doesn't do lateral raises but still saw good delt gains just focusing on the front & rear. I've also seen others say hitting rear delts more than 2 times/week has been a game changer for them. I still think u should work side delts for max gains tho. I see a lot of people saying to spam lateral raises, they might be onto something...
