Moving from strength to bodybuilding? Lagging body parts, volume, frequency? Looking for critique and advice
Looking for opinions on my program for the next 6-8 months.
Just came off 6 months of Jim Wendler's "Building the Monolith". My strength consistently shot up, week after week, very happy on that front. Now I'd like to better my physique. I am building a Push / Pull / Legs / Push / Pull variant. Happy to consider a 6th day if anyone suggests.
27 years old, 187cm / 6'1-6'2, 93kg/205 pounds. I will be eating at a +300 caloric surplus.

My focus is to build size while maintaining strength on the core lifts (Deadlift, Squat & OHP), prioritising 1. arms, 2. shoulders 3. back. Everything else is secondary, specifically chest, which I feel is overdeveloped - I don't want more size since my arms are small (15" flexed) in comparison (42" chest), and my t-shirts fit me weirdly as a result.
Any recommendations here? Any concerns? I am used to spending nearly 90 minutes in the gym, volume is not really a big deal for me nor are energy levels. My only concern would be 'overtraining', but I feel like that might be a meme.
