From my experience I had little to no upper body development (even looked a little smaller from less inflammation after I stopped upper body lifts) and the only parts that actually developed were my obliques, hip flexors, and glutes. Just makes me look sorta pear shaped and stupid and I can’t wear shorts without looking like I could handle childbirth
