any workout tips on how to get this type of physique
as opposed to this:
no steroids? less weight more reps? more cardio? Just genetics?
- To get that kind of muscle definition you must have a specific diet (low carbs, lean protein, etc)dmay
- And to get to that second pic, you must workout very hard (hypertrophy) + supplementsdmay
- Why anyone would want to look like that second pic is beyond me.Continuity
- a body like that is 80% diet 20% gym. Use a full body routine above. A pro once told me his secret... hard work and consistency.kona
- You couldn't get the second physique if you tried (even with steroids, which he's definitely on).section_014
- ok, so steady weekly workout but more importantly a proper diet. got it_niko
- Also think about a TRX workout. I use it for squats, rows and bicep curls, and I really like it. It uses your body weight to your benefit.Continuity

- 90% diet, need to create a caloric deficit, and lift HEAVY weights so your body burns fat not muscle.fyoucher1
- Keto dietok_not_ok

- I think it's a great idea to have a photo of someone else that you aspire to look like. I used one as reference for my trainer to suggest what I want to achievemg33
- Keep in mind these guys are not usually this cut. Before a shoot or comp they go through a cutting phase.voiceof
- I'm slowly reshaping my weekly workouts and definitely need to get back to the strict calorie cutting.mg33
- I went from 192 to 175 in 3 months by sticking to 1,500 calories a day, working out 6 days a week. Been around avg. 173 ever since (Dec 2015)mg33
- ^ 1,500 calories. that sounds rough for that weightfyoucher1
- mg33, thats where i am at (192) and I probably need to get down to 175 also...slinky
- ^^ 1,500 is just until you get down. Then 2,000 will keep you there (roughly).section_014
- also be 25 y/o againsureshot
- Try Photoshop.fruitsalad
- Eat a strict paleo diet and seeing a trainer 3-4 times a week will fast track youatomholc
- genetics plays a big rolepinkfloyd
- they're essentially the same, just a few years apart. Looking cut is all about diet, looking bulky comes from bodybuilding, and looking fit comes from strengthzarkonite
- training. Deadlift, squat and press and you'll look good in no time. Stay off the soda, and don't eat food that was made by a corporation. KISS.zarkonite
- Im 45. I will never look like that again.ArmandoEstrada
- And by "that" It seems am implying that I once looked like that. Nope.ArmandoEstrada
- Excuses...pinkfloyd

- nice... open up my browser to check something with a client and QBN was on with dudes in chest ... awkwardBennn
- The top guy isn't that built, you could totally achieve that at the age of 45.zarkonite
- I lost the gene pool lottery, my whole family is obese. I try hard so I don't become that way buy Im still about 20+...ArmandoEstrada
- My wife is a nutritionist, thee whole gene pool thing is a myth. It's family culture that give you your eating habits... genes only play a part in less than 1%zarkonite
- of cases and it's almost statistically impossible that those genes would be expressed across an entire family. You should look to your eating habits and consultzarkonite
- a professional. Small tweaks can go a long way, I've seen it hundreds of time. No need to kill yourself with a strict diet.zarkonite
- I haven't lived with family is 25 years but I agree, they eat like shit and zero exercise. I eat much better and go to gym 4-5 days a week...ArmandoEstrada
- It's very difficult to lose fat once you've gained it, your body tries to maintain homeostasis. I'm just saying I won't be able to troubleshoot your issues inzarkonite
- notes on this board. But some nutritional counselling from someone with a bachelor's degree (not a fucking hack at a gym) could help you tweak... plus there'szarkonite
- often a huge difference between "looks good" and "is healthy" - accepting one's body is a big step forward... helped me a lot.zarkonite
- Thanks Zarknite, I will consult someone. I appreciate your input.ArmandoEstrada
- Do we have a fitness of the day thread?garbage
- There's no way you will accidentally get buff and bronze. You can't even accidentally become the first photo. If you have no gym access, look into bodyweightgarbage
- exercises. Google "Convict Conditioning".garbage
- man. i wish accidentally becoming the second guy in this pic was my biggest fitness challengescarabin
- lol @scar. 2017 is the year to accidentally become disgusting.garbage
- "whoops, i got too ripped!"scarabin
- So, people think a process to get big and muscled in minutes like Captain America is real?sr_rosa
- In minutes? No. With a consistent workout 3 times per week, and a diet tailored to your goals, you *start* seeing first results in about 3 months.Continuity
- I'm pretty close in physique to the guy in the top pic. I've always been naturally slim, been going to the gym 4-5 days a week for about 5 years.BaskerviIle
- All the usual advice: diet is key: low sugar, lowish carbs, lots of protein. Do big compound lifts (deadlift, squat, bench). Lots of core work...BaskerviIle
- Planks/leg raises are better than situps/crunches. I also go bouldering 1-2 times a week. If you have a desk job you probably need to eat less than you think.BaskerviIle
- Also, changes in muscle definition/size are more noticeable when you're lean which acts as good motivation. So losing body fat initially may help motivate.BaskerviIle
- @Continuity My comment was about the original post, and that magical thinking of becoming a bodybuilding prodigy by accidentsr_rosa
- Aha, right, got it.Continuity
- Some people are fortunate with efficient metabolisms. Personally, I don't think you need leg workouts. Never done any and my bottom half are my best feature.formed
- All from running, biking, elliptical, yoga sculpt. Down 17 lbs now, 1800cl/day, workout 5-6 days a week. I should try that 1500cl/day.formed
