you're not going to look like Brad Pitt, but bodyweight exercises are an easy way to keep yourself toned

self esteem issues? I just want to learn how to build muscle that appears lean rather than bulky, hence the picture. I cant say I look at too many semi naked men and it was the only thing I knew to post that was the sort of thing I wanted to go for. So, lean muscle...

bodyweight exercises are easy to do, just clear a spot on the floor. You won't build mass and your muscles will tighten up and become more defined. You don't really need a strict diet, just a good one and make minor little adjustments here and there...for instance I substituted mayonnaise out of my diet for horseradish. I love tuna sandwiches and now I could live off tuna and horseradish sandwiches on whole wheat and life has become leaner, meaner, and spicier. Mmm and chicken breasts with a lot of chili powder and chives.

u can't build muscle and lose fat at the same time. if u want to be lean, eat less. if u want to build muscle, train and eat more. u can lose weight first and then build muscle afterwards.

Right then workout3world - it is later and here is my question.

I have been doing weights for my arms to try and tone my arms up. Now they seem to be building up in size and strength but they seem to be too big. Basically I look silly with lots of muscle and my overall shape ideally would be something like Brad Pitts in Snatch (no homo)

Image

Note his slim yet tones qualities

So how best to get this sort of shape on the go?


That's what you get by doing weights for your arms and for nothing else, homo. Brad Pitt is just very skinny in snatch, he hardly has any size. If you want to look good, first build some healthy symmetric strength with squats, bench, pullups, deadlifts, etc. Then, lower your reps and up your weights when you want to cut down to getting skinny, keep your protein intake high and you shouldn't lose too much of your muscle.

lol, the ol' "I want to look like Brad Pitt" post. Probably the most consistently flamed topic ever created in bodybuilding forums on the internets.

If you want the Brad Pitt look then eat a low carb, low fat, moderate protein diet. Do at least 45 minutes cardio a day and weight train correctly (each bodypart once a week). Achieving low bodyfat while having minimal muscle is not difficult with consistent training and diet. Achieving low bodyfat while having increased muscle mass is where the average schmo is unable to take it to the next level.

Also, lets see a pic of these arms that are "too big". I need a good laugh.

I remember the time raw posted a pic of himself with his shirt off looking like a 110 pound poster child for redneck famine, and then went on to proclaim he had been working out and was now going on a "cut". :olo:

Might as well do an almost 2 year update here - Back to P90X for another go (injuries unrelated to the workouts screwed up my previous attempts about 2/3 of the way through them) - started the 2nd week today. Cancelled my gym membership again too - was back to the traditional stuff for awhile and it was fine, but I'm at a point where the P90X workouts are just better suited to my overall goals and I honestly don't see myself ever needing a gym again unless its for access to stuff like elliptical trainers or other non-impact styles of cardio to help my knees.

I know we've had more than enough of 'Hey guys can someone make me a workout'? threads, but I want to make yet another recommendation of P90X to anyone who is looking for a training plan and wants to get into the best overall shape of their life. I've got quite a few people to give it a try who would have never otherwise considered it and they now swear by it.
It's not for everyone - if you are training for nothing but size or pure strength then stick with the heavy weights, rest periods between sets, all that stuff. I did it for years when my only goal was to be as strong as possible.

So if anyone is still looking for a good workout routine, consider it. It's as close to foolproof as you can get - some people spend years at a gym and their physique never changes - they are always fat or skinny or whatever because they don't know what the hell they are doing (both in and out of the gym as their diets probably suck). This takes all the guesswork out of it. It's a perfect way to boost your performance in sports too if you still play them.

And once you get into it you can invite doubters to go through one of the advanced workouts with you and watch them crap out before its even over.

Update on my work out plan;

Running twice a week, tennis and a healthy diet. Result? Gained half a stone!

Apparently its to do with anabolic resperation and the lack of fat burning + muscle building...anyone care to comment?

Anyway - fitness levels are much higher than they were which is great. I just need to see some weight loss now...

Never use your weight alone as a measure of overall condition. Many women look better five pounds heavier than they might already be but with a different body composition.

Muscle is more dense than fat, you could very well be replacing the same volume of fat for muscle and gaining weight.

Yeah I guess so...I just need to get rid of this gut! I am happy with the way things are going: just come back from a 1 1/2 hour tennis marathon. Second game in 2 days and I have another one on Thursday

ah this old thread :)

This is my 30th week of crossfit, still kickin ass. I got my level one certification two weeks ago, and the gym I run got it's official affiliation with crossfit HQ a month or so ago with me as the head trainer and on top of still writing all the programming I now run the website too which is time consuming in itself sometimes...

saturday was another body fat test, I weighed in at 181.2lbs and with a 7-point test, totaled 6.83% body fat, lean body mass of 168.8lbs.

here's me doin some double unders on friday (by some i mean 500 in 10 minutes flat)



This weekend is the two-day gymnastics course and certification, can't wait for that.

here's one from last week... wall ball shots are one of my favorites even though they are tiring. That tape is the 10ft target

How tall are you Andy? I'm 6'1" and was 210 when I stepped on the scale today - but I'm not at 6% bodyfat for sure - I'm hoping to lean out at about 185 over the next 3 months or so.
