Thing is, I don't look like that at all. He has no muscle definition, and no ribs showing.

And he can't bench 150 kg.

Why am I even arguing this?

People in real life, you know, my friends don't mind me at all- and I pretty much anatomically proved that I'm not fat...

Eh, keep trolling.

I must point out, fat people don't look like that. I'm thick, yes. It's a combination of genetics, heavy lifting, and a bloated stomach from my massive meals. And yes, I have fat. But fat does not make arms, chest, stomach, and neck look like that. You don't even have to squint to see my ribs.

If you all actually want a picture of me looking lean as opposed to big, I'd be happy to take one.

There seems to be some confusion here between 'thick' and 'fat'. Yes, a 210 pound 16 year old is probably not going to have visible abs. However, they usually also can't bench press 85 pound dumbbells.

it also improves endurance

What are the best exercises to achieve a toned body?

For one, the word 'toned' means nothing. If you mean 'lean', the exercises do not change. All you have to do is consume less calories than you burn, over a period of time. This will reduce your fat levels and make your muscles more prominent. Do this in conjunction with squats, deadlifts, and incline bench press, and you should be fine.

I really don't have consistent access to an Incline Bench Press or Dead-lift weights, is there anything I can do with weights and body movements instead?

Pushups, dips, pullups, and crunches are the best bodyweight exercises you can do consistently.

If you have access to dumbbells, I recommend doing- Curls, lateral raises, tricep curls, bent over dumbbell rows, shrugs, dumbbell squats and lunges, and dumbbell flies.

Zack, I really have to say, I've been following much of your advice- namely the addition of pin-up curls, close-grip bench, not alternating between different muscles on the same day, your chest and shoulder routine, and your advice on lat pulls, deadlifts, and squats...

And I have to say, I've noticed a much better stimulation of my muscles. Thank you very much for the advice.

Well, there are two ways I know of to deal with a plateau. You can stop exercising for a week and come back, that helps a lot, or you can completely restructure your workout. However, the BEST way to deal with such a problem is to make sure you are training your body properly. I hope you're not just training biceps. Also, biceps are not a muscle you need to go heavy on. Train legs, back, shoulders, chest, TRICEPS, and your biceps will grow.

Well, there are some people out there with shitty genetics who have managed anywhere from fitness, to athletic, to bodybuilding lifestyles. As long as the rest of your body has tolerable genetics, you could continue to do what you're doing and drop another couple of pounds of fat, and get a full set of abs. I admit, I'm not much of an expert on abdominal training, because I genetically have very good abs and as such don't care to train them.

You see, this has been bothering me for quite some time. I've been working for many months, years actually, to get a full set of visible six packs. I've been on the track team running distance events freshman and sophomore year, and more recently I've been hitting the gym and made considerable improvements overall and I'm currently in an honors gym class where terrible things happen. But even at this point, I'm only half way there.

I shit you not, I have half a six pack.

My left side is rather visible when flexed (the 3 pack) but my right side is just flat, which seems rather odd to me since I'm right handed.

I've tried specifically targeting my right side with side crunches and other exercises, but nothing seems to work. So I ask you, what should I do?

Well, it seems to me that your problem is a combination of abdominal genetics and fat storage genetics. Abdominal muscles, for the most part, are made visible only by a person's body fat level, not as much by physical training. Not to say, of course, that sit-ups and such won't help, but getting ones diet in check is far more important.

Side crunches actually work obliques, by the way.

If I were you, I'd work to get leaner. There are several methods do doing so, but the overall rule is to consume less calories than you burn. Dieting gets more complicated the more muscular you are, but that doesn't really apply here.

At 1/13/10 11:13 PM, Zack wrote: when i meant axe your chest day, i should have said don't train chest again with shoulders my mistake.

I'm not quite sure as to why you typed that all out, but different things work for different people. I mix up my workouts every session, so some exercises may or may not be there, depending on my mood. I do deadlifts and one rep maxes because they are both fun, challenging, informative, and excellent for developing strength. I like to hit a 1 rep max on my legs because i feel it hits them best, going as heavy as possible, and I can't go as heavy as possible when my legs are already tired. I give my all on every set, but to me one heavy squat promotes more muscle growth than any other single movement. That, and I've found better results deadlifting at a one rep max. My body just seems to respond better to going heavy a few times, rather than normal weight a normal amount of times. And like I said, these workouts are not structured.

Furthermore, I split exercises because I've found that I get better results, as I said, going heavy, which I can do better is I rotate between different body parts. That's how I give it my all.

Additionally, I work my arms and chest more often than my back and legs because my back and legs grow like wildfire. My arms and chest suck. I used to train legs twice a week, but my body got so out of proportion that i restructured my workout.

And that's why i LIKE hitting shoulders and chest on the same day. Hitting chest will hit shoulder anyway, and i see no point in getting them sore if I'm not actually working them.

As for your shoulder workout, I do all of those exercises, but I do not do them every workout. I don't really like high rep exercises anyway, I've always found that I get a better feel from heavy lifting. Barred some exercises, of course.

While you obviously display an enormous amount of lifting knowledge, it seems to me that you were just kinda looking for an excuse to critique my routine. I'll take some of your advice into consideration, but do keep in mind that I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if I didn't notice good results doing it.

My apologies, I accidentally skipped your quote in my original message. Why don't you try copying my arms workout. Google the exercises and find a weight that works for you, and go for it. Make sure to get a lot of protein every day, and keep rest in between sets at 90 seconds.

Most women would never want to have sex with the weird ass guy you just posted a pic of. Atleast none that I know. That just looks nasty. A light 4pack is cute, but that just looks really huge and gross.

'Weird ass guy'? That man is 60, and in fantastic shape. Not all of us exercise for women. In fact, that's the absolute worst reason I can think of for exercising. Everybody should exercise for themselves only, and I want to look like that man.

This guy, down there, is probably closest to what I'd like to look like.
