So Obviously, Bale was on some kind of PED's to get that much muscle in such a short amount of time. But how long would it take a serious lifter of his height working out 3x a week doing compound lifts to get his Physique? He must be around 85KG here
2 years and throw some curls in. Bulk +20lb then recomp for 1.5 years then cut.
>>77057823>reeeee he's not 3% body fat so therefore he's fat reeeeeee>t /fit/
>>77057823with proper learning, training trials n error, nutrition, and rest. 6months or less.
>>77057831I'm around 77KG now, was thinking of just lean bulking for the next 18 months
>>770578806 months is crazy talk, look at his chest bro
>>77057823>doing compound liftsYou'll never get that body doing just compounds
>>77057823I still have that Vice physique. Aiming for American Psycho.
>>77057900Why not?
>>77057831>>77057880>>77057898Never change /fit/
>>77057880two weeks if you dial in the macros and apply increasing intermittent overload
>>77057823>So Obviously, Bale was on some kind of PED's to get that much muscle in such a short amount of timeHe was already swole during American Psycho
>>77058196true, however, there were five years and the shooting of The Machinist in between those two.
>>77058179one night of clubbing will suffice [spoiler] if you snort venezuelan marching powder on the toilet, get on the wrong side of a drug deal, and end up in the jungle for two years where you have to fight for survival [/spoiler]
>>77058205So? It's not like your muscles magically vanish when you eat less and don't lift, they can shrink in volume but unless you're literally starving yourself to death your body won't eat muscle, you can easily bounce back to full volume within a couple months of eating and training.
>>77058213not saying he cheated. just mentioned it. I guess to say it's not a small feat.
>>77058234>I guess to say it's not a small feat.It's really not that hard, I had a medical issue and stopped lifting and eating properly for almost 2 years and dropped almost 40lbs, got back up to full weight after just 6 months of eating 3-4 times a day and lifting again, because muscle doesn't just disappear as long as you keep eating at a baseline where your body isn't in complete starvation.
>>77058270nice. thanks for giving me hope, anon. I'm on way to getting back in shape after reaching the verge of obesity. muscles are there, but it's a long way back to where I was.
1 year minimum with a bulking and compound focused routine time.
>>77058282Yeah losing fat is probably the hardest part, cardio helps a lot, you just have to fill your entire day with activity to burn as much calories as possible, I was never really fat because for some reason my body just doesn't make a lot of fat and my job is 10+ hours of physical activity which is basically just free cardio, so most of the loss was just muscle volume, I was always a real skinny kid which is why I started lifting in the first place, it's pretty much the only way for me to be at a normal weight and the extra strength is just a bonus to help with other things in life. Good luck to you though, wagmi.
>>77058213>>77058270does this look like eating at a baseline?
>>77058305The cool thing about your body is that if you do less you need less calories to sustain yourself, which means you can eat less, he probably took it easy to drop his TDEE to a minimum so he could eat very little just to not enter starvation mode.
>>77058295> my job is 10+ hours of physical activity which is basically just free cardio,Sure buddy. I have done 12 hours warehouse shifts fasted and you are not going to losel weight.
>>77058315woahalmost likethere are different jobswith different physical intensities
>>77057823Ras al Ghul-maxxing
>>77058179i wasn't joking. that physique in the OP should not take more than 6 months if you know your anatomy (muscle insertions and know how to put active ROM on them with constant tension), physiology (mainly nutrition and manipulating your insulin sensitivity), a proper training principle that is reflected in progressive overload, and proper rest. 4 years can get you an IFBB pro card and potential eligibility to enter mr. olympia like this picrel. if you go to his youtube and watch him train, you will understand. he was also randomly dope tested at olympic level to prove natty status. this is like studying or gaming. if you wanna be good at it, study like like u want to climb up in game rank or like ur studying to get into med school.
>>77058531So, how would you do it anon?>>77058531
>>77057898>>77058179Assuming advanced or elite lifting iq and somewhat athletic, maybe inner chest and outer triceps would be difficult. This looks like less than or about half of bale's natty limit besides those in particular.
>>77058531>>77058839Nta but even this steroid user here isn't as crazy as you think. Put like 5-15lbs of pure fat on him and it doesn't seem as ridiculous. Basically training less effectively will not only yield slower gains but also to a much lower cieling especially when it comes to nailing a workout, how often based on how advanced, and diet gets way more important later on. The only thing that gets easier is that by then you have more muscle maturity and tendon strength, so hypothetically late intermediate-mid advanced(to your actual "genetic max") can be a lot easier to breeze through whereas once nearing elite your progress will actually begin to noticeably slow down again assuming you're doing everything actually 100%.
>>77057823I always assume all Hollywood types and influencers are on gear
>>77058919My difficullty is in getting that upper chest "shelf"
>>77059824>wide grip heavy arched military press but push with chest>narrow enough and narrow lower incline and flat >hold the weight further out and/or down to hips depending on incline/flat>squeeze shoulders and or elbows together>brace by rotating in with wrists/elbows/shoulders to easily get upper chest on inclineHonestly my weak point because it takes little work to keep proportional. I'm working on inner chest and overall thickness. You should definitely get a sick pump trying these techniques and combining them or some shit I'm drinking trying to figure out how to get massive delts in my lifting lab.
>>77057823kek this is a dyel fat manlet only 5'11. cant believe u think this is big hahah
>>77059942only person in this thread to use the big is u fat retard
