You look basically like the antithesis of a powerlifter. All the small muscles that don't do a whole lot look relatively overdeveloped (ie forearms, biceps, upper chest) and the large functional muscles (back and core and I assume posterior chain) are completely underdeveloped by comparison.

2.) God being natural sounds horrible. 8 weeks and this is actually pretty good progress.
3.) This log supports my theory of "less is more", even for the naturolo. You still need more leg+back volume though, but this is good progress in both relative and absolute terms compared to somebody like busto who is objectively training much harder and yet gaining less, even taking into account their relative levels of advancement. Maybe the EV strategy of doing as little as possible is correct. It's surely "more correct" than too much.
I think I'm gonna shave a few sets off my leg+back workouts and you add some to yours
So yeah, I'm going to continually come here to talk ****. But this is good progress for 8 weeks, broah.

Very accurate lmao
1) lolol next 8 weeks will be better which should be the end of my cut (hopefully)
2) one day I will cross over to the dark side
3) LOL too little? my workouts are around hour and a half minimum only exception is upper body hypertrophy day which is around 1 hour. I am DL 3x/week and squatting 2x/week and leg pressing 2x/week. Leg day mayyyy be little exercises but its alot of sets mang. What would you do differently about my programming in all seriousness?
