hey /fit/ what does it take and how long for a body like this?
>> Anonymous
It matters completely by the starting point.

He really isn't that large, so a normal person could achieve that in maybe a year and a half, if less.

A ridiculously underweight person, like much of 4chan is, would take maybe two.

OP here, i am 175cm tall and weigh 63kg. i started working out a month ago and so far my daily routine has been 30 minutes of running, push ups till failure and a series of ab workouts. is this good enough? i am clueless in this matter.

OP's picture is just a guy that did regular strength training.

You need to follow a routine and start eating a lot more to bulk up. You can't achieve that from push-ups.

Can you get access to a gym?

To give you an example what I'm talking about, the person in your picture is larger than I am, and I dead lift 350 pounds, which is roughly 160 kg.

I'm not showing off, I'm just telling you, you need a gym. You need massive amounts of weight and food to stimulate muscle growth, that you cannot achieve with a pull-up bar.

This is a perfect beginning routine.

I realized that might be slightly daunting, so this might be a better option.

Do a bodyweight routine for a few months, build up your strength, until you can get access to a gym.

Kind of. You're not going to get massive just using a pull up bar. But you don't *need* to go to a gym.

You need a barbell and someone to show you the ropes with some olympic lifts, then you're all set. You can get plenty big enough working out in your garage.

As for pull-ups, do them with 45lbs of weight dangling from your feet. That'll do you.

Another alternative is investing in some gymnastic rings and some handles to do planches on. Then get a load of straight arm gymnastic stuff to work out with. The right gymnastics work out will get you bigger than the guy in the pic and functionally far stronger than a lot of the guys you would see at the gym.

He has six pounds of weight.

I was lucky enough to put together a weight-set for $400, and I got everything dirty cheap.

He would be better to get a gym membership, where he can use a Power-Rack to safely learn his Squats. Even if he got a Barbell, he would still need a bench, and a rack, unless he wanted to do Hack Squats.

Why would he need a power rack to safely learn squats? What is wrong with starting with the bar or a slosh pipe and building on good form from there?

Get some bumper plates for the barbell and learn to dump from the off, you can be perfectly safe squat wise without a power rack.

I suppose he would need a bench and a spotter would be crucial when pushing for max reps or weight... but he still doesn't need to go to a gym. If he'd rather work out at home, it is entirely plausible.

how do you get the weight on your back without a rack?

Are you serious?

Snatch it/ clean it etc.

If you can't be arsed to do that, you could still fashion a functional rack out of a few bits of wood and some brackets.

You should be able to squat a shitload more than you can clean, then press, then squat and have the energy to press back over your head.

I was restricted by not having a squat rack at home.
