    Help Creating a Superhero Physique

    I'm going for a physique kinda like how Captain America and Superman look in their latest movies. Basically a physqiue that's noticeable under clothes and looks even more impressive when you take tour shirt off, if you have low bodyfat. But I dont want to just look strong. I actually want to be strong. Any recommendations on programs that build strength but also keep your body looking portioned to help me achieve this goal?

    I want strength and aesthetics. Also if you could point me in direction of threads or books that teach one how to create programs to obtain the goals they want that would be great. So over time I could maintain the size of one body part while tweaking the program to increase the size of a lagging part to keep everything proportioned.

    kinda hard to train strength AND looks at the same time. Run a simple 5x5 while eating in a surplus and you'll get strong...cut weight to get rid of the excess fat and you'll look good, but strength might suffer.

    Have you ever tried any of his programs before? Always wanted to get a review if anyone thinks his courses/programs are worth it.

    What do you think of me running Babylover's SS. It seems to be a bit more balanced than the original SS. That along with the goal of gaining 0.5lbs a week.

    Why do you recommend that program over Babylover's? It seems to have been created yesterday without anyone to have tried and give feedback on how effective it is.

    It's been around since Jan. With a lot of followers and people running it. Plus the guy who made it created it to balance out the issues that there are from SS and SL.

    But whatever...do what the fuk you want.

    What's the best beginner program for mass, would that be ICF 5x5? I've decided that strength is good and all but I rather get aesthetically big as soon as possible. Then later on move onto a strength program so that I'm as strong as I look. I just want aesthetics over everything.

    Greg's (from Kinobody) are amazing if you're a minimalist. They revolve around training 3 times a week with low to medium volume. Since you're after the Superhero Physique, I'd recommend his Superhero program.

    However, if you don't want to buy anything, he also has lots of free articles and routines which are similar to the program's philosophy. Read his article for Arnold's site (look up "MEGA training Arnold" on Google), it sums everything up really well.

    Your overthinking it, either fierce 5 or ICF 5x5 will work for your goal, just pick one and stick with it for at least 6 months while eating at a surplus. FWIW i like fierce 5 over ICF 5x5, it has good amount of volume for muscle growth while not having too fast of a progression, ICF on the other hand has too much volume, if i were to run it i would do 3x5 instead of 5x5 on the main compounds and slow the progression to weekly instead of workout to workout. All pros is also a solid option, its a mass-oriented routine that has similar volume to ICF but has much slower progression, this will allow you to run it for longer and stay leaner during your bulk.
