Please take a look at the picture of my body.

My goal is to have a body similar to his.



Should i first start bulking?

Can you guys give me some advice please? Thanks!

if you clean up your diet and hit the weights that should be easily attainable.

Starting Monday i will be eating healthy food and hitting gym 5-6 times a week.

But first i still have to bulk up right?And than work on cutting fat.

Thanks!

And how much time approximately it wll take me to get a body like this?Im a hard worker.If i set a goal, i will accomplish it.

^Six months to a year, easy. Perhaps less depending on how you respond to the weights. At your age, I made significant changes to my physique in that period of time.

Wait for more responses, but my two cents? You're 19. All you'd need to do is get in the gym on a three- or four-day split routine and lay off the Coke and junk food. Maybe not even that.

Certainly hit the weights. See the text written by Built (link to that content in post #3 of this thread) and follow her recommendations.

That guy's a soccer player? Follow his example. Get outside and play a bit of soccer or pick-up basketball. You have a good structure to begin with, 6'1" and 180, now put it to work.

You think 5-6 day split routine is to much for a beginner?

I want to follow Arnold routine for beginners,and that's what he suggests.

I dont drink coke but i drink 2 liters of juice each day.I know it has a lot of sugar,so i should probably switch to regular water.

And to what weight approximately i should bulk?

Welcome Mredkin!
Why do you need to bulk up to achieve that look?
Like Robert said diet and weights.
Thats a fitness model look and they dont bulk up...
They stay lean most of the time.

When i compare myself to him, it's hard to believe that i can have similar body as his.I'm 15 pounds heavier than him,but i dont have muscle mass.That's why i thought that i need to bulk up first and than work on cutting fat.

What supplements should i take?

I have Cell-Tech Hardcore.It's a Musclebuilding Creatine Formula.

I also want to buy vitamins.

Hi there and welcome..
