Jamie Dornan Workout

[jackmcqueen]

I am aiming for a physique like Jamie Dornan. For those of you not familiar with him, give him a quick google. Hes the current face of Calvin Klein and is in all those ads with Eva Mendes.

I found the following information on him.

He doesn’t target his legs directly with weights but trains them through cardio. This is actually a good thing, since too much emphasis on heavy squats can make the legs look unnatural and out of proportion to the upper body. Heavy squats are good when you are staring out as a way of stimulation muscle growth but should be eased away from once you have gained the appropriate amount of muscle for your frame, and replaced with non direct leg work to give a more athletic look like Jamie has.

I nearly spat burning coffee onto my monitor when I read this. I've never read something so utterly ridiculous in my life. Do not emulate this tool in any way.

True, but the content of the copied text is just plain wrong. Heavy squatting most certainly does not make your legs "out of proportion" in comparison to the rest of your body, unless they're all you do. The article essentially suggests that squatting should be removed in order to facilitate physique improvement! I just can't wrap my head around such utter silliness.

This guy has great genetics to look like that (no I am NOT saying he is big) with that type of workout. He curls 20lbs for sets of 10-12 for christ sake. I had those numbers when I was 2 months into training and I didn't look like that.

I understand where you are coming from: you want to be lean and have some muscle. However, this "routine" is far from what is going to put muscle on you unless you have good genetics or some gear. Hell diet isn't even mentioned.
