How long until I look like a SPARTAN!?

[anikey]

Hey guys, thought the thread title was kinda interesting lol..

I've been cleanbulking for a little bit. Haven't seen dramatic increases in weight or anything. About 7 - 10 lbs in 4 months.

I'd like you guys to guess my weight and bf%

Started working out back recently.. never did any back work before. Now, I love doing upright and pendlay rows.

What do you guys think my strongpoints/weakpoints are?

My goal is to basically get the lean and muscular modelish physique with a low bf%. Ultimate goal is to reach around 170-180 lbs.

haha, that'd be sweet.

[sandiego]

You will be a Spartan very quickly with that good lean wide shouldered look, depending on your height, I would say you are 155lb, 7 % fat.

[Cracky]

so many factors as u probably know, but u have a nice ground to build on, good luck to you !

[debrovnik]

If you got totally ripped you could look like a mini Spartan, it would take a couple of months..... just a thought...

You have to work more your back and your traps. Your hands could use some work too, but for now stick to the back and to the traps.

Thanks for the input. I started working out back and traps in January.. I'm definitely hoping to put slabs of meat on it.

Lol no, not an Abercrombie model.

Something like this:

[Logicalypso]

Not all Abercrombie models are skinny.

[marcusnasland]

I have a feeling if you were neglecting the back you prolly are neglecting the legs, you need to build a strong base it will help with the overall muscle gains, but looking good so far n e how!

[bleeder]

nah.. he's skinny... he probably weighs 135 instead of 120... and photos add 10lbs

theres a kid that looks EXACTLY like him at my gym.. in fact it might BE him. lol

Look at Klaus' pecs. They're like upside-down triangles. Once you notice that, his body is sort of revolting.

[Logicalypso]

Sounds like you're being sarcastic, but in case you're not:

Traps? Shoulders? Chest?

[anikey]

Btw, I don't weight 155 lbs lol
Somewhere between 140 - 145 5'9"

[iliketodoit]

Looks good, if I had to choose a weak point I'd say back and delts

I hate to tell you, but 7-10 lbs in 4 months is dramatic. Capitalize on those newbie gains while you can!!! Once you are a year in, you will have a very hard time gaining 30lbs a year without some extremely hardcore supplementation and an amazing program/work-ethic/nutrition.

Don't down-play your gains, 7-10 lbs in 4 months is something to be proud of mah man! Work hard, eat right, and you will gain ALOT so early on in weight-lifting. shoot me a PM if you want any advice from a hardgainer/skinny boy

[BEhave]

lol that's pretty funny

its also very possible too. ive seen many people make tons of prgress in a year

[BEhave]

somebody's got a Bowflex body

[hakiem_jo]

I think you could have dont beetter in that time...

You're about 1" shorter than I am, and when I was 145 lbs., it took about 3 more years for me to reach the 160s. It's around that weight range (with 8% bodyfat) that you'll start to get that Tyson Beckford, Spartan look. At your height, 170-180 lbs. and 8% bodyfat would be ideal.

Here's a link to an article where I talk about the things I did to change my physique. I started off at 125 lbs. (when I was 18). I was 145 lbs. when I was 22, and 160 lbs. when I was 25.

Continue the hardwork. Exceptional nutrition is your single most important factor in achieving the physique you want. After that it's exercise and then rest. Those 3 in combination will allow you to change your physique in a relatively short period of time.

At your age, and with the information you have at your disposal, you literally could do it in 300 days. Think about it... if you just gained 2 pounds of muscle every month, you'd weigh 164 lbs. by this time next year.

It's funny you mention Spartans.

Here is footage of the Spartan's training for the movie.

And what's crazy is that Spartan training is still available in the world.
