2/2

Advice would be kindly accepted guys

That body is pretty easy to get.
No leg work. Get high daily intake of protein, and bulk for 3 months.
Work out 4-6 times a week depending on your daily schedule and stress levels.
Then after you can see you'v reached your goal, get rid of your fat layer, while continuing to work out.
Do HIIT cardio and eat a little under your daily calorie burn.
You should be ripped after cutting for 8-10 weeks.

its not always as straight forward as 'work out for X amount of time, & do X amount of things til goal', especially if you actually dedicate yourself to working out, because things pop up like
>"Damn Ive worked out this hard already, I should probably go the extra mile and get a bit bigger, I deserve more for the amount of effort ive put in"
>"THAT was my goal body? Time to make X my new goal"
Not to mention that even if you do get your goal body & youre satisfied, you gotta maintain it through continuous exercise, or you might not even ever get the goal body you want because you might have piss poor genetics, for example:
>wide hips
>chest gap
>fucked up abs
>gyno

My original goal body when I started working out was pic related, & I obtained it in less than a year. Ive been working out for 2.5 years now.

>>8060508
I'm doing that already but there's two things I'm unsure about:

How much mass will I lose when I cut for 8-10 weeks like you said?

Proportionwise, should I focus on a particular thing more? like the guy in the picture doesn't have big lats so I don't work much on lats.

Cheers

>>8060508
this may be a dumb question, but when you cut to get that body

do you basically have to maintain the cutting diet to keep the body

>>8060533
no, you eat exactly the amount of calories your body needs to maintain the body, not gaining or losing any weight

ofc you'd have to keep eating proteins but not as much unless you want to keep making gains(albeit very slowly)

>>8060533
OP here, no, you just eat at maintenance. I've heard about getting down to 12% bf and cutting to 8% for 8 weeks, then bulking to 12% again for 8 weeks and repeating that all year round. I guess that's a good way to maintain your body but I don't know how reliable that is

I'm skinnyfat, 72 kg at 192 cm, what do I do? Eat like a hog, and workout at the same time? I am so fucking shy to go to gym this is not funny. Because when I imagine people seeing me lifting heavy (jk) weights with my spaghetti arms they will laugh! What do guys? Also what kind of exercise do I do? I have meat and muscles on my legs, tummy has some fat, but not too much, I look super skinny in clothes, hands are pretty much auschwitz, esp. waists, looks p ridiculous with my huge ass fists. Also always thought I have wide hips, turns out they are normal, and it's my upper body too small making them look like it. Anyhow, give me program I will follow.

play basketball.

>I am so fucking shy to go to gym this is not funny. Because when I imagine people seeing me lifting heavy (jk) weights with my spaghetti arms they will laugh!
Nobody will laugh at you unless you have an ego , have no structure in your routine, or do retarded exercises. Everyones in the gym for IMPROVEMENT, its not a place to go to to show off & be judged.

>>8060559
OP here, Most important thing for skinnyfat people is to get the proportions right. Skinnyfat people normally have wider hips (with excess fat) and a narrow torso due to a small ribcage. Focus on getting a top heavy frame by really focusing on your lats and shoulders, forget about abs for a while and focus on chest. The trick is to get wider on the top of your torso to even out the hips.

If you're shy about going to the gym, get comfortable with bodyweight exercises and buy some light adjustable dumbbells, do mainly Pullups, push ups, lateral raises and Dumbbell presses. Once you're comfortable with the highest weight on your dumbbells it's cheaper to get a gym membership, plus people won't laugh at you.

>>8060559
no one will laugh at you

bring headphones and music, turn it up loud and drown out any bg noise

>>8060599
nigga looks like the zohan

>>8060527
I have pretty good body genetics (broad shoulders and back, small waist, normal hips) but when I was on a swim team I was too lazy to do anything outside of practice and stayed skinnyfat. If I pick up swimming and do it for an hour and a half 4-5 times a week, what kind of exercises should I supplement it with (besides calisthenic routines, high and low impact, for arms and core) for dat ottermode? 5'11'' 128lbs currently, still need to bulk up a bit

i bet /fit/ would say this guy is DYEL but in reality he looks 1000 times better than those fat flabby fags with their huge quads and hips lol

>>8060643
Theres no real way to supplement a sport like swimming to attain goals in something like hypertrophy. If you want the best results for your image, youd have to focus on working out as a completely different activity on its own, because using it to supplement swimming is only good for the performance aspect (which would be very high rep work), not muscular hypertrophy (which requires a medium amount of repetition work, focusing more on tearing muscle fibers apart). Id recommend a 3, 4, or 5 day split as a lifting routine to get to ottermode. Youd have to research yourself if youre serious about working out.

>>8060533

That depends on your metabolism. If you burn calories fast (I do) by yourself, you don't need to continue it.
However, if you after a short while start seeing yourself getting lumpy or start gaining weight, you should probably hit the cardio again and consider eating more healthily.

>>8060530
To answer your first question: A lot of people complain about losing a shit ton of musclemass when they cut. It isn't AS bad as people make it out to be, but you do lose some of the mass, since, eg. your biceps look bigger the more fat you have on you.
But you should be able to gauge, with the fat on you, how ripped you will be once youre done.

Second question:
Your focus should be, like anybody else, to do as many compound exercises as possible. Everything works, Deadlifts, Chinups, Dips, Squats, Bench presses etc.
If you notice any part of you getting bigger than you'd like, you simply stop training that part of you.
The dude in the picture basically has very little leg work done, and his back andd traps also seem really undefined. So it's pretty easy to tell, that that dude hasn't been squatting, deadlifting, chin-upping or shrugging.
He has most likely been doing isolated exercises, which is fine, if that's how he wants to look.

This is my goal body, but my first goal is to cut.
Then i'm going to work my way up.
Not going to post a pic but i'm pretty lean with a some muslce

>>8060699
If you have no muscle, and you're fat enough to cut, do yourself a favor and build muscle before you cut.
The basic way it works is: The more you eat, the more mass your muscles gain. The more you CAN eat, the more protein you can intake per day.
If you cut, you're gonna be a fucking weakling, and it's gonna take you easily double the amount of time to get results. Hence why EVERY single person, who knows what they are doing bulk AND THEN cut.

>>8060699
This looks gross to me

Considering i gained most of my "surplus" weight at my abdomen/thighs/ass, i therefore need to put effort mostly to these areas. Otherwise my hands are pretty much skinny, but i gaining little of muscle as in picture related would be nice as well. I might try going for the same kind of hair, right now they look like the one of Jimmy Page, which, itself is not a bad thing, but trying different things is not necessary bad.

>>8060714
>i therefore need to put effort mostly to these areas
nah, that's bullshit. First, targeted fat burn doesnt exist, that is if you want to make said areas smaller. if you will train them and gain muscle, you will make them look even bigger then they are now. What u want is make ur other parts of body bigger, so they look proportionate, all while training and making muscle out of fat.

>>8060690
Alright thanks. I never heard anyone on my team with great bodies ever talk about macros or lifting or shit like that, at least I didn't pay attention if they did, I just thought they got that way b doing more swimming, but now I know that that's not true at all. I'll have to look into it. I enjoy exercise right now just for the health benefits and because it feels good, not for the aesthetics, but looking like the male version of a cardio bunny just isn't doing it for me anymore. I don't want to get huge or anything, just looking to look more masculine while still being able to fit into an S or an M.

>>8060730
>masculine
>fitting into S or M
Pick one.

>>8060730
I think you can get what youd call a decent body if you put in years and years into swimming, but the fastest way to get there is through focused lifting. Keeping in mind, what I interpret as ottermode or a good body is probably not the same interpretation you have, since im pretty involved in the whole bodybuilding thing.

>>8060735
>being fat

>>8060726

>nah, that's bullshit. First, targeted fat burn doesnt exist, that is if you want to make said areas smaller.

I possibly didn't use right words, i know some sources say it's not possible to burn fat only at specific areas.

> if you will train them and gain muscle, you will make them look even bigger then they are now.

I don't want that

>What u want is make ur other parts of body bigger,

and this neither

>so they look proportionate, all while training and making muscle out of fat.

I would rather lose some fat and then turn remains into defined body like in picture related, this is what i'm looking for.

coconut make me a program pls, I need to make my upped body bigger to even out the lower body of a skinnyfat.

Something like this

>>8060775
pullups and pushups /end

Most of yall don't even consider your bone structure/genetics and just pick any goal body that looks good, post current bodies so we can judge if it's a realistic goal or not

>>8060682
lol keep dreaming u skinnyfat little fag

what's your body type? we have to know to tell you what to do.

>>8060782
when u get that pls move to london

Theres way too much to cover for me to summarize for you, I recommend reading through the /fit/ sticky to build up a small foundation, then build up your knowledge through videos on youtube & anything else you're curious about through google, including how to perform exercises properly! If you want serious results, youll take the time to research everything on your own, take your time to make sure you know the necessities to lifting to make sure you make the most out of your time spent to keep you motivated. All I can recommend is that you should do a 4 - 5 day split, approx. 4 - 5 exercises per muscle group (excluding bis & tris which should be 2 - 3 each) & keep your rep + sets volume & protein as high as possible. Good luck!

hey what is the best way to keep motivated. I'm finding that after awhile I start to lose motivation and slack off

>>8060859
You have to have a burning desire for it in the first place to really get twhat you want, this applies to any goals in general to be honest. You can't 'sorta' want it, you gotta want it so bad that you feel like you need it. Harsh truth.
Do not expect results unless you have low expectations and/or an easy goal such as >>8060714

Yes, i'm skinny. Do you even think that your "typical" 4chan neckbeard would call Michael Tintiuc attractive, instead of faggot etc.?

>>8060904

>>8060904

He still got certain definition to his body and he got muscles, which might not necessary mean being "big".

>>8060782
>>8060810
My body shape and size is pretty much the same as the pic, just no muscle

>>8060966
>>8060966
yeah no, he has no muscle

I wanna be 170lbs with 10%bf, right now im about 175-180 with slight chub

any less than 170 would be girly and lame

Because i love it. You're not content with your body?

>>8061528
no, i want to be more athletic gain some muscles. i allwas feel a bit too weak.

I took this pic about a week ago when I started my cut. Being a fatshit always makes clothes fit really awkwardly so hopefully slimming down will look a lot better.

I know Brad's body is kind of a long shot, but I'm gonna try.

>>8061551

Oh, i see, sound fine actually, you might not even change much if you're somehow taller.

I'm 5'10'' and 137, am I under cause I'm chubby

>>8061587
i sign up for gym next week. maybe i can get some results that way.

How do I go from skinny fat to Adrian Brody in Predators?

effay i am a 5 ft 5 1/2 manlet , how should my body look? i don't want to get swole and look like I'm overcompensating.

>>8061907
hes so perfect ;_;

>>8062110

If you want, a little bit of muscle mass never looks bad. As long as you don't over do it, you'll look fine.

>>8062110
you'll never be fa if ur that self conscious
just workout, then when you get to a body shape you like just maintain it
you're short so it'll be quicker to do

You'll want to build muscle.

To do that you will need to lift heavy objects. No other way around it.

different poster
i'm a freshman in college and got hit hard by "freshman 15" and gained fucking weight
doesnt help that i'm a manlet and 5 lbs looks like 20 lbs on me but anyway

your logic seems really sound but i'm afraid i'll look very chode-like and disgusting if i bulk anymore now that i gained so much fat and weight

help?

muscle is for people who arent attractive enough to pull off heroin chic

if u've never hit the gym b4 it's likely that its possible for you to gain muscle at the same time as you lose weight (this is only for the noobgain-window though, wouldn't recommend)

you gotta sacrifice abit for it anyways, i'd say fuck it and just go for it. i was skinnyfat when i started too, bulked up to 95 kilos and looked like a fucking greaseball but it pays off after cut as ppl around you notice your gains n weight loss n shit. just do as u feel though, bulking first and then cutting is the most OPTIMAL way why people recommend it. no1s saying you couldn't cut first and then bulk but it'll take a longer while

>>8064939
i did a whiiiiile back
nothing special though, maxs at around 200 lbs for bp, 315 lbs for squat and 380ish for dl

however my fucking bf% was always up in the 18% and now it's probably more around 25% maybe more

it sucks

sorry for all the q's, i know this isn't /fit/ but i was wondering when you'd think the right time to start to cut was

>>8061750
no m8 u need to build more muscle and put on some weight.
