Brad Pitt in Fight Club

[tomas101]

he doesnt want to be big...not everyone wants to be this big dude...shit man...if i could have the body brad pitt had in snatch or fight club i would be happy as hell....

You're still not eating enough then.

Sure. Calories are the solution to everything right? Gee, that must be why America is the fattest country on earth -- funny, considering it's the most diet-obsessed.

Training is the key, not stuffing your gut with food.

 

[DamnHardGainer]

I'll take Ronnie, thanks.

There's 100million people who have the physique of Vin Diesel or Brad Pitt. But there's only one Ronnie Coleman.

Gee. Maybe they just aren't eating enough!

i found a vid of part of his arm workout.

diet is just as important as training. if i eat only 2000 calories a day it doesnt matter what my training is like. i won't gain a pound

many Americans are obese because of the food choices that they select and low levels of activity.

diet is 80% of this sport. going to the gym is the easy part, that is bodybuilding 101

 

[Little Wing]

anyone want me to post his arm workout

 

[tomas101]

ya go ahead and post it

training is only half the battle, wiseguy.

You just think you're eating enough, but you're not.

wow, you're funny

 

[Curlingcadys]

You just think you're eating enough, but you're not.

I used to fall into that category before I wrote everything down, its really not too hard to deceive yourself unless you're writting everything down or are just very inteligent in nutrition.

 

[Little Wing]

ya go ahead and post it

well you remember the pam n tommy thing? someone stole a brad jennifer tape. in it he is working out his right arm quite vigorously a few times. i really don't think you want me to post it. you can find it on limewire tho if you are interested in jennifers workout.

 

[tomas101]

lol...ewwww what was i thinking...ya go ahead and post jennifer's workout....i hear she has good technique

I don't agree with that at all. I'd break it down 50-50. As with any sport there are different schools of thought and with bodybuilding, everyone here should know through experience that nothing is one-size-fits-all. There is general conventional wisdom, but nothing works for everyone. Metamorphism is proof of that.

I personally know a couple guys blessed with true mesomorphic genetics who grow with the slightest hint of physical activity. One guy never touches weights and only swims, yet he has a physique that looks built with iron. The other guy trains light full body 3 days a week, yet he gains lean mass just by looking at a weight room apparently. Both don't give a damn about their diets...they were military and ate mostly burger king and popeyes chicken for 2 out of 3 meals a day. Literally. Yet here they are with bodies like Apollo.

I eat 8 meals a day of 600 ~ 800 calories, balanced 40-40-20, and my gains have been hard earned but steady over 10 years. I eat that much because I don't have a choice...I starve after 2.5 hours without fuel and have to eat in the middle of the night when my body wakes me up. I gained 40 lbs lean mass over 10 years on a naturally skinny 5'8 125 lb frame and my body does not like the extra bulk...if I skip even 2 days of my workout routine, I can drop 3 lbs of mass. No one knows my body like I do.

Maybe I should consume 10 meals a day a turn into Ronnie. Yeah right.

ok, well we know you are eating correctly. Maybe it's your training. perhaps you don't train correctly or with enough intensity.

and 10 meals/day ain't gonna make you look like Ronnie, sorry, bro.

 

[Tha Don]

unless one of those meals is the breakfast of champions with a little extra juice to wash em down!

I'm the exact opposite, when i eat i lose weight and when i don't eat i gain weight. It's pretty weird, I went to some scientist's house down the street and he said that it was true. Nobody knows my body like that scientist.

well all I can that to that post is I guess it sucks to be you. I'm 245+ lbs and eat 3-3.5k cals a day.

 

[Duncans Donuts]

LOL

 

[vegman]

Brad Pitt is way too small for me. I don't want to look like every Tom, Dick, and Harry on the street. I want to be big, but not Ronnie big.

Not really. What is a curse in some ways is a blessing in others. I have very low fat and great definition. The striations in my pecs look like fingers. Unlike you I can actually see striations, and that's always a good test of overall fitness. I'd say you're eating too much for your body type.

I'm in Japan right now but I fly back to the states next week. After I get settled I'll have some pics taken for my profile.

This is the second person who implies there are brad pitts all over the place. The other guy said there are 100 mil, so basically 1:50 on this planet look like brad pitt. If that were true, none of us on this board would be married I tell you that much.

how are striations a good test of overal fitness?? realistically the human body shouldn't be a extremely low BF levels anyway.

and, LAM is a big ripped guy bro.

I know one thing and it doesn't take 10 years to go from 125 to 165 lbs. you may "think" you know about eating right for this sport but your results prove the exact opposite.

I didn't mean it as an insult. He's a big guy to be sure and the mass is apparent, but no offense to him but his pictures do not look ripped. Ripped = ripples, shreds, cuts, ie striations. Nothing wrong with that, plenty of guys out there would love to build the body he has. But plenty of guys also prefer leaner builds and want to look like underwear models or those guys on men's health magazine.

Some people like me have naturally low BF levels. Look at most track runners these days...now those guys are ripped. They aren't skinny guys like Carl Lewis anymore, they're ripped like Michael Johnson. Trust me, I wish I could add just a few more % of fat because I'd love the energy stores to be able to eat a little less everyday or resist cannabalization if I miss a meal. In that way LAM is blessed.

Riiight. A 245 lb endo-mesomorph trying to give a 165 lb ectomorph advice on what works best for his body based on 60 posts vs his 10 years of experience with his own body that he increased overall lean mass on by 32% in lbs. That exceeds the threshhold of common sense. I suppose I should give you advice on how to cut.

those pictures of me are almost 3 years old plus I was almost 260 lbs @ 6'0

I am be no means an meso. I started out at 5'9 135 lbs when my knees where the widest part of my leg. I know how to diet for this sport.

 

[Little Wing]

doesn't it bite when people want to argue? my brothers are very tall and thin gaining weight is next to impossible. i know it took real dedication to get your gains. awesome.

135 ~ 245 huh? Well either you started lifting at 14 years of age or I call bullshit. Let's see the before shots of you at 135 as a fully grown adult. If what you said is true you should be in guinness and certainly a pro.

I was 20 when I started seriously lifting and fully grown at an anorexic 125 @ 5'8. I mean my chest had collar bones jutting out and the left side of it looked caved in. With some juice I could maybe, a huge maybe, aspire to be like Frank Zane or Steve Reeves size. They are my favorite bodybuilders after all. Natural, I'll never see over 175 with my bone structure...which is my target goal.
