If you’re a dude, don’t neglect your forearms - you’d be surprised how much it could add to your overall physique

Farmers carries will give you big forearms. if your gym has a trap bar, load up 50-60% of your max DL and just carry it from one of the gym to the other.

Don't neglect to exercise the rear head of your deltoid (shoulder). Face pulls are my go to for this on the cable machine. Fully rounding out the side profile of your shoulder makes a big difference in your appearance and most people neglect it for some reason.

Exercise your neck. You don’t have to look like Kurt Angle, but your neck should be proportional and thick necks are functionally beneficial too

Shoulders! Esp if you are more feminine
Biceps if you are more masculine

Pilates core work regardless is great for ab lines

Personally the fastest ab definition for me is oblique work, which can be hip dips or russian twists or yoga or planks or pilates

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
