Lighting is a bit different, but i cant deny the improvement in your delts and arms. You've got some broad ass shoulders.

I reckon you do pullups with anvils strapped to your ankles, right?

Maybe its just all that swole muscle, but it kind of looks like your shoulders are hunched out abit.

Does seem like your posture is not optimal. Pull your shoulders back and down, chest out. In the picture it looks like your shoulders are rolled forward

they are slightly rolled forward to flair the lats out some but as to pulling them down, thats where they naturally sit.

Your forearms look a LOT better. I would start working on your neck a little bit. Palm presses would work good.

Do some 'direct' neck work. Put the bottom of your palm on your forehead, and push your head forward. Push back with your palm so your head doesn't move.
You can do it with the sides of your heads too. I hold it for 20 seconds and do it six times a day.

heavy deadlifts work your grip just like it works your back. I also got some of those hand squeezer things and started doing wrist extensor/flexor exercises

Hey Sk,
Well theres not much to say, you are looking in great shape.
On the upper body, I would say you could use more mass on your delts. Also its hard to see - but is there much going on in your upper chest?
I think we are all agreed on the lats, I seem to remember an older av of a crazy back shot
When do we see the legs?
