Ideal physique

[Norfcountryboy]

This would be my idea of idealrichjenkinsblack3cm2.jpgA classic body and a classic brief.

Yeah he is a really good example of a nicely balanced muscular/ lean physique. As it happens Rich Jenkins is one of my ideal male pinups but who is/ was he?

[speedobillyuk]

He was a model back in the noughties. He moved on, but I heard somewhere that he was hounded in his new job by guys "stalking" him as a result of his modelling career.

I would love a body like that. Instead I look like the blob. Lol.

Hmmm, if I could choose a body type, I'd want to look like this.

That's it, Thom. Pictured above is a young man that's been on the swim team for ten years or so. Through puberty and into the development years that body was formed in the pool. The best swimmers tend to be on the tall side, up to 6'4 even, with a long trunk. This guy certainly has the typical pecs of a swimmer! If you saw him dressed you'd say he's pretty skinny, in a tee shirt you'd notice he's got superb upper body strength, he probably weighs in a barely 150 pounds but would actually shame a typical 200 pounder in an arm wrestling match, believe it or not.

Well said, Swimmy.. He's a dedicated swimmer. And, interestingly, Phelps height is 6' 4." The NY Times had a wonderful article on why his body was born to swim. I'll see if I can find it. I recall his arms were exceptionally long relative to his height. He also had very flexible ankles.

As you observe, the swimmer in the picture has lean, very efficient muscles.

Hey Swimmy. Here's the NYT article on Phelps. It includes a discussion of his physiology. It seems to link without my subscriber log-in. It's from August 8, 2004 (yikes, time flies), and titled "Built to Swim" by Michael Sokolove.

Ok since flattery charges this battery and I'm fully charged and plus you guys have been so very nice I'll give you my stats.

First off I'm in my mid twenties,
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 67 kg
Fat: 12%

I go to the gym 4 times a week. Training different muscle groups each day. I used to swim once a week but not anymore. I do take supplements such as whey protein (optimum nutrition) and glutamine (muscle tech). I only drink both of them after workout and only on workout days. I take glutamine to help with my muscle recovery after a gym session. I sleep about 6-8 hours a day and cook my meal. When I cook I always clean out the fat in my meat. Since I'm a natural born ectomorph I have to eat like a pig to maintain my weight so I always eat more than I should. I rarely eat stuff like Oreo, McDonald's, Wendy's, or any other junk/fast food. I just recently started to eat potato chips cause wow they're delicious! But my partner is always there to stop me from eating too much chips.

So there you go. I hope I shed some lights. if you guys wanna know what my workout plan is let me know.

[swimmy]

Okay guys, that's how you do it starting from underweight and skinny. His BMI is mid 22, body fat index is great and he's knowledgeable and in charge of what he eats.
It's only slightly different when you start from overweight. You eat as little as possible but still choose every bite wisely. Four good workouts a week is not bad. I do no less than five but some can get by with three.
Hope this inspires people.

Wow, thanks Rozelle. I'm particularly interested in the use of whey protein and glutamine. I'd read about them before. After I read your post, I bought some whey protein. I prepare most of my own food. Fish, meat, eggs and veggies. I've found Peter D'Adamo's book, "Eat Right for Your (blood) Type," to be helpful. My blood type (B) should not eat corn products or whole wheat flour. Eliminating whole wheat helped a lot. I immediately had more energy. Because lately I've been working long hours, I mainly use a rowing machine at home for exercise, also Hindu squats to warm up. I weigh 143 (67kg) on a 5' 10" frame (177cm). A weight/blood pressure machine at the local pharmacy says I have a BMI of 22. Not sure about the %fat. I'm about forty years older than you. I've been about the same weight for most of my life, mainly by being careful about carbs. You can maintain your awesome build for a lifetime.
