as some of you might know i was working out for the fight club brad pitt look, but then i started playing football and it started interesting me alot so now im working for a body that is both good for football (runningback) and for looks, so i decided on Brad Pitt in Mr and Mrs Smith, in which he is a little smaller then in Troy, hes weight was 180 for the movie and he is 6' im about 5'10.5 and im trying to gain 30lbs in 9 month, you guys think its possible?( i wanna get to 180 (152lbs now)) and my second question is are wide chins (backhandfacing towards me) good enough to get a bakc liek the one in the picture below?

and in order to get obliques like in this picture (the one below) are sidebends good?

thank you for anyhelp

if you put in enough work, it looks pretty feasible.

Hey fender,

When I saw the title I thought you going to settle for a second rate body. Glad you are still aiming high! LOL

pull ups (the chin ups you describe are probably the BEST exercise you could do. You should also add some bent over rows.

As far as the obliques, I am not sure. I think that is mostly genetic and if you do a lot of oblique type exercise you may only suceed in thickening your waist.

Good luck

Hey fender-i think 30 pounds in 9 months is possible for a growing teenage male if you work hard enough.

Last year i was 5'8" and 145 pounds. Now, i'm 5'11" and 170 pounds. I have grown 2.5" but i've also put on 25 pounds. I ate, lifted, and slept like a mofo, the summer especially. So, with hard work, dedication to your lifting, some sleep, and a LOT of good food, it's definitely possible. 9 months = 36 weeks so shoot for about a pound a week.

Doug M. · 11-24-2005, 08:49 PM

fender...i think you could definitely make the weight you want to. The thing that you have to remember is that Brad has a lot of trainers that help him get ready for each movie. You can talk to coaches and to the forum guys, but brad can talk to anyone and hire anyone to work specifically with him.

I think if you work REALLY hard and dont give up you can make it. Just work regularly and dont stop

good luck

Doug

Whew, I thought he wanted to look like Angelina now.

Irishdazza · 11-25-2005, 06:27 AM

If I looked like Angelina....I would never leave the House! And may well be dead within the week.....

hey guys thanks for the support because people at school have been telling me its impossible so your comments really helped me out in moral part of my training, so again thank you

Once you get a program down, going to the gym and working out is the easy thing. Eating 24/7 is the real challenge.

BTW, if you're looking for a football body forget Brad. Set your sights on someone like TO. He's big, ripped and a pro football player [img]smile.gif[/img]

Keith S. · 11-27-2005, 08:13 PM

eastcoast, I agree about the body type, if you're looking to model your body type after someone, y not look at some other tailbacks?

here are a couple:

Michael PIttman

Tiki Barber

Ahman Green

T.O.

Kevin T. · 11-28-2005, 03:52 PM

Tiki is one strong SOB.

Deserve · 11-28-2005, 04:14 PM

First thing to get a Brad Pitt body is Brad Pitt genetics. I can eat right, work out at all the optimal times and have all the best trainers and I doubt I would ever get close, TO is definitely out of the question.

I do a damn good me though [img]smile.gif[/img] If you have that body type, great! I'd hate to see unrealistic expectations that lead to disappointment.

Keith S. · 11-28-2005, 04:34 PM

Deserve,

I agree, but what I'm saying is look at these guys and you'll get an idea of waht you need in football. While TO may have the most talent out of those 4 guys, I would have to say that Tiki is the best out of the 4 of them. And he's def. does not have the best looking body, just balanced.

True, but IMHO Brad Pitt is way too small for football. Most likely his body is all show and no go anyways. So if you're going to set your sights on someone to strive to look like, pick someone at the top of the game you're wanting to play [img]smile.gif[/img] Who knows, maybe you do have the genetics and all you need is the desire...

castufari · 11-28-2005, 06:53 PM

Lots of genetics there.

What are you trying to accomplish? You want muscles or a strong, effective body that you can use daily?

I've done a lot of work on my back, my waist has gotten larger a bit as has my upper back. I have a nice V but so did my dad. I had a really defined back when I was swimming/surfing/windsurfing daily.

Doug M. · 11-28-2005, 08:30 PM

yea...tikis strong as hell...supposedly he can squat somethin around 900 lbs..thats just crazy..can anyone here do that?

eastcoastsurfer · 11-29-2005, 07:16 AM

I would be careful to always fall back on genetics. A Mr. Olympia needs genetics a lot more than a 180lb Brad Pitt. I think most people could probably get to a ripped (very low BF%) 180 if they really wanted to and worked at it.

Yes, you can do it. 14 weeks ago I was 175lbs. Today I am 209.5. My bf% has increased from ~12% to 14.7%.... completely expected considering I'm eating just shy of 5000 calories a day. I've added damn near 2" on my arms, 3" on my legs, and 4" on my chest. The only place I hold fat is my gut, in fact my legs and arms measurements (for bf) have gone down .
To the point, you can do it, but it is tougher than anything I've ever done. You have to lift with serious intensity, on the verge of overtraining. YOu have to stay focused and dedicated when everyone around you is not. You have to stay motivated and most important and toughest of all is you have to promise yourself to EAT all the time.
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. If you really set your mind to it you can. Trust me.

You may not want to go this route if you're wanting the lower body fat, but in order to add mass you need to add the weight and then cut off the slop.
HOpe this helps you out some. Good luck.
