Greetings from the Critique Club!
Wow what a wonderfull photo. But I suppose you would like a bit more of a critique than that. So I suppose I should start with technical aspects.
Technical: This shot was very well done from a technical aspect.
Lighting: is wonderfull giving a good variety of light and shadows. The skin tone is very rich and vibrant.
Sharpness: is also very good the only defect I can find within the shot is at the very top of the shoulder. If I were to guess from the looks of it I would say it was a smudge on the lens.
Balance: This shot also has a very good balance and flow of lines. The eyes start at the chest and folow the lines up to the weight.
Meets the challange: I would have to say yes working out is a common resolution.
Composition: I must agree with the other commenters on this one the nipple does appear to be a bit akward. I think that turning the model just a little bit towards you would give it a more natural apearance.
Personal Feelings: I feel this would have done very well in a fitness magazine. If this didn't ribbon I must admit I am suprised. I feel that as much as I hate to touch this area some water would have helped. Ok I said it yes more of those silly water spots DPC'rs complain about so much. I feel that lightly misting you model with water adding presperation would have further enhanced an already wonderfull shot. I also feel that this well formed arm lifting that tiny little two pound weight is great.
Its a Wonderfull shot and I hope to see more work like it in the future.

| Good focus and lighting along with good skin tones. You do have a distracting smudge spot on the shoulder and the chest perspective looks a bit off. Other than that good shot 6. |

| Well now... I wouldn't mind meeting this guy somewhere... I'd change the resolution I think (not sure what I'd say though) but the image is just great the way it is. |

| Technically, well shot! Funny image, cause I'm sure there's no way that arm was built using that weight ;) Nicely done! |

| Funny. Like the compostion. Crop is perfect allowing eyes to focus on all three elements of chest, arm, and weight. Skin tones and lighting look nice. Good luck and HNY. |

Nice muscles--they are yours, right?
I am not sure, but I think using black and white on this shot might have been a better choice. I can't explain why I feel that way (too inexperienced to communicate the reason), but when I imagine this shot in black and white, I am drawn to that imaginary version more.

| judging by your arms, i think you're already using bigger weights.. either that, or i got screwed with the genetics! nice, clean, crisp shot with good tones and composition. not sure if i think that your ny resolution is the best, but who am i to judge (maybe you got injured and have been going light lately?) - great shot. |

| Nipple appears to be growing out of armpit, weird perspective/angle. |

| The image seems at odds with the title; surely THAT dude ain't afraid to lift heavier weights? Nicely composed and lit. |
