| Chest vs back
What's the difference between the upper body of these 2 males here?  
If you workout, won't your chest be wider than your back?

Depends on what you workout, and what exercises you do
All I know is I absolutely LOVE back days. I look forward to them all week

What's the difference?
One has a body of a boy(Beckham),the other has a body of a man.

from those pictures, it just looks like beckham doesn't really work out at all, his pecs aren't very defined, but hes not really out of shape either.
doubt he has much time to really commit to working out either, and it doesnt help with the amount of cardio he has to do as a soccer player
beckham just doesn't have the upper body definition and bulk compared to the guy in the second pic, you can tell by how much slimmer his biceps/triceps are, its kinda like that for all soccer players really - can't have too much weight to run around with
@coach, any particular back work you like? i freakin love doing chin ups on back days

the more muscle you have the more blood/oxygen you have to pump to keep going. soccer players dont need huge upper bodies so all that would do is hurt his performance, i bet his legs look like tree trunks tho

If I have enough energy I do some deadlifts, but thats rare unfortunately

those help get the back wide and some good thickness
you wold be surprised the amount of people that don't do deads
i usually do them once every 2 weeks

I do legs, but I FUCKIN HATE THAT I CAN"T FUCKING WALK the next 2 days! Especially when I have to do dumbell presses and rest the weight on my thigh or when my cardio workout suffers from it.

arms are by-far my favorite, HUGE pumps on arm days, they still feel rad 3 days later

leg day sorta sucks because i have to plan leg day into whatever im doing that week with work/sports/etc. i cant do leg day a day or 2 before my indoor soccer league games, for example.
the one thing i absolutely HATE doing is abs, but i can usually get thru them pretty quickly and its pretty rewarding so i just do em and hate em. sometimes you just gotta get shit done.
and you cant use a picture of david beckham for an example of muscle development. he doesnt have any. and to be honest, i really dont like how the second guy is put together either. and to everyone in this forum, if you're posting a picture of a dudes body, make sure his pants arent so dangerously close to showing ween. hah

I am skinny and I am working out to get stronger and bigger. Some say Beckham has no muscle development, but for me, he still looks a lot more muscular than myself.
What I am trying to point out is, you can see the pecs of the guy in the second picture literally covered his lats, While Beckham's pecs barely reaches the edge of his lats. So that's why I am wondering if Beckham focuses more on his lats instead.
Another similar example

but back on topic
i don't think your chest can big as wide as your back, chest tends to stick out more while you get the V taper with back at least that has what happened to me
