Essential what physique are you ultimately trying to achieve?

[Be Strong Blackman]

This the goal summer 2021, cut back down to this high 180s. Currently sitting at 206. Might just say fukk it and start bulking now. We’ll see how it goes.

Still trying to figure out if it’s even worth the cut if I’m trying to get the fullness for next year.

Spoiler

Just gotta get the diet in check. I’ve been stacking up on satellite cells from high reps too.

Once I hit this in the summer I’m gonna bulk recomp to as high as 220 beginning Jan 2022 and hopefully end up with the same fullness and body fat as breh come summer 2022

Areas I’m targeting:

-Lower pecs

-Core (abs+obliques)

-Biceps

-Forearms

-Triceps

-Rhomboids+undertrained upper back muscles

How do you get shredded? Is it mostly diet? I wanna look like that too but I’m not doing something right

I want that CR7 look

Sorry breh but you don't have the CR7 mantle.

That guy is truly a psychopath trapped in an athletes body.
The amount of training he does (and doesn't need to) is insane, he utilizes EVERYTHING, calisthenics, resultant band, weights, swimming and water resistance, sprints, explosive etc you name it he does it, and has the world's best trainers, physios, dietician etc

He's also juicing to the grills for recovery (not to build muscle per say).

That look is impossible to get unless you go as crazy as CR7

Agreed with everything you said but the bolded. @360dagod will never play like Ronaldo but you're dumb af if you think that physique isn't achievable (natty) by a vast majority of brehs.


Not saying it will be easy to achieve but definitely attainable.


Most coli nikkas really don't work out or even lift.

What 35 year old look like that naturally?...

No old flabby dude is achieving that physique, they don't have the mental fortitude needed.

Brehs who can achieve that are brehs who've already been in great shape in their 20s and know what it takes.

I wish brehs saw how Ronaldo looked from 2002-2006... He was really skinny and lean and the 2007-2009 was his physique just kept exploding with every passing year, reaching his biggest around 2009. It literally took a pro athlete 6 years of his prime 20s at one of the biggest clubs in the world to achieve that physique.

If brehs started posting pictures on here, you'd immediately see why I say they can't and never will look like that

What gym you go to, Curves my nikka?

shyt might not be common in your country but don't act like it isn't at least one or two dudes at every commercial gym in America* that has the same physique.
(*Pizza Planet Fitness doesn't count. )


Dude is 6'2" and like a buck-semty-five, buck-eighty. Yeah he's lean but other than that dude is a beanpole.
It's literally oldheads in their 50's walking round at that level (or higher) at both of the larger gyms I go to.


I didn't say it wouldn't take some doing but you acting like Ronaldo's physique is on another level. Nah breh, he just lean. Not jacked, not ripped, just lean. Dude is an animal on the pitch and isn't a physique athlete like a bodybuilder or classic physique dude. He gets paid to score goals, not to be aesthetic.

If @360dagod wants to look like that and maintain it, I actually think it'd be easier for him since he doesn't have to play pro soccer too; no games, traveling, training camps, Olympics, none dat. Just diet down, do some cardio, and lift a little. shyt definitely wouldn't take 6 years.

I find it extremely impressive that someone can look incredible and still be able to perform both explosive and endurance sports.
That's what I mean when I say guy can never really achieve that Ronaldo level, he don't just look like that, he run the yard dash in crazy time, directional change, he can jumb up almost twice his height etc

A lot of cats look incredible gym physique, but can't even run 5miles in a respectable time and can't sprint.

Gym brehs don't understand the performance part, coz they're all about anesthetics.

I should've made the point clearer, that you can resemble Ronaldo (men's physique guys look better), but looking like that and actually being able to perform athletically like does is another ball game.

I know this coz I'm the only in shape breh at my gym who does cardio every day and does sprints twice a week amongst other things.

@360dagod said he wanted dude's look, his aesthetic, not his soccer game.

I said it before: dudes ITT won't ever be on Ronaldo's level on the pitch, and 99.9% won't touch his athleticism.

We all have our niche in this fitness thing.


You might do cardio daily and sprint twice a week but what that squat/bench/dead looking like? You might not even do all three of those lifts just like I ain't taking my ass outside with the parachute.
And issa buncha cats stronger than me just like issa buncha folks cardio game meaner than yours. Different levels, different goals.

Why don’t I look big in the mirror at home?

I don’t even look like I lift sometimes

I'm in the same boat. Doesn't help that I wear baggy shyt to the gym.

A cross between Bruce Lee and MJB.

I'm skinny but I got an athletic build. Used to walk a lot towards school.

The only thing I struggle with is calorie intake. Sometimes cramming down 2000+ calories at once takes mad work. Deadass though..

Why at once ( I take that to mean one meal)?

Damn... it’s so hard for me to put on muscle
