As you know hardcore competitive bodybuilders are few and far between. There are thousands of guys just trying to look good for the girls at the beach or the husband trying to get back in shape for his wife. If this is you then read on! By: Alex Stewart Article Summary: This article is intended for the bodybuilder looking to improve their physique. There are certain muscle groups that, if developed, attract the opposite sex. Abs are a must when it comes to improving your physique. Building That Model Body Bodybuilding is "The act or practice of exercising, lifting weights, etc., so as to develop the muscles of the body." Your workout routine, diet and supplement regime should reflect what your goals are. If you would like to be a "Hardcore Competitive Bodybuilder" you will have a more strict diet and supplement regime and also dedicate more time and energy to your workout routine. As you know "hardcore competitive bodybuilders" are few and far between. There are thousands of guys just trying to look good for the girls at the beach or the husband trying to get back in shape for his wife. Most people can't dedicate 1-2 hours at the gym 5-6 times a week and would never eat 6-7 meals a day even if you cooked them. The majority of people are just not interested in living that lifestyle.  Click To Enlarge. Your Workout Routine, Diet And Supplement Regime Should Reflect What Your Goals Are. I am going to dedicate this article to the bodybuilder looking to improve his physique for the opposite sex. If you ask any woman, 9 times out of 10 she will be more attached to a fitness model than a "hardcore competitive bodybuilder" So if you are looking to impress the ladies read on and I will help you carve that physique into a chick magnet. Training There are certain muscle groups that, if developed, attract the opposite sex. These muscle groups will need to be prioritized. I am going to list all the muscle groups and a small description about how or if we will be focusing our training around that area: Shoulders: Definitely will have to work on these. Especially the Medial Head AKA Middle Deltiods to help with the upper body V-Taper Traps: Will be included but you don't want to over develop as hugetraps don't fit well into most nice clothes Chest: Definitely will work on the chest to its fullest. Large full chest is a plus for the opposite sex. RELATED VIDEO: Your 12-Week Daily Video Trainer Your 12-Week Daily Video Trainer - Monday, Week 2: Chest, Triceps & Abs! Kris Gethin is your own Daily Personal Trainer! Today begins Week 2 with a chest, triceps and abs workout. Let's get to it! Watch More From This Series Here. Back: Definitely work on the width of the back to increase the upper body V-taper and some thickness work as well but not too much Arms: Again another must. Ladies do like to hold on to some big guns. Forearms: Should be worked as well. Shows strength even with a shirt on. Abs: A must! Nothing more needs to be said. Quads And Hams: Large development is bad. Large legs can't fit into most nice pants or jeans. As long as you continue with your squats to get a nice butt the rest of your leg will stay strong. Plus you will be doing plenty of sprints to keep them from looking like sticks. Calves: Want to keep some work in the routine as they are seen with shorts on. Some hardcore bodybuilders might have lost their minds when I said legs were not important but you need to remember this article is not for you. This article is geared to the average Joe looking to get a killer body for the opposite sex. Now let's get a training routine for you: Monday: Chest/Arms/Forearms/ Post-workout perform 15-30 Min of *Steady State Cardio Tuesday: **HIIT and Abs Wednesday: Back/Shoulders/15-30 Min of *Steady State Cardio Thursday:**HIIT and Abs Friday: Legs/Arms/Post-workout Perform 15-30 Min of *Steady State Cardio Saturday: Rest Sunday: Rest *Steady State Cardio: You are to perform 15-30 minutes of steady state cardio Post-workout on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Nutirition Goes Hand In Hand With Working Out. Ladies are looking for a guy who is both muscular and lean, so our diet is going to reflect this. I am going to set up a diet below for a 180 lbs male at a slight caloriedeficit. This will help anyone that is overweight lose body-fat and maintain all their muscle mass. If you are on the leaner/skinnier side increase portions slightly so you are taking in enough calories to build more muscle. I will be keeping protein high, carbohydrates relatively low but will include them around weight workouts and breakfast. I will also include enough health fats to keep hunger at bay. Meal 1: 5 Egg Whites 1 Whole Egg 1 1/4 cups of Oatmeal ¼ cup Blueberries or Raspberries Meal 2: 1 Meal Replacement Shake 2 scoops of Big Blend Protein Meal 3: 5 oz of Chicken Breast 1 1/4 cups of Brown Rice 1 cup of Green Veggies Meal 4: Post Workout 2 scoops of Big Blend Protein 1 1/2 Bananas Note: If you are not working out substitute the Bananas with 1/2 oz of Almonds Meal 5: 5 oz of Top Round Steak 1 oz of Olive Oil 1 oz of Avocados ½ cup of Green Veggies You will have 3 whole food meals and 2 shakes a day. This way you are getting enough calories spread throughout the day but you don't need to slave over the kitchen and make 5-6 meals a day. The shakes are convenient and will make the dieting process a lot easier.
