ok ppl this isnt really a question about muscle building but i had to ask
so....this desperate housewives actor is getting all the hype nowdays, and as much as i hate to admit it - im jealoused and i do secretly look up to him- he does have what i would define as my ideal body (which btw im nowhere near) - so how long do u think it would take an average guy to get into shape like him? also can somone provide me with a workout plan in order to get into shape like him?...lol

im prolly askin too much

As far as how long it takes, well that simply is up to you. In the end, only you will decide what kind of results you get. You will have to put in all the work, and go through to pain to get what you want. Don't be discouraged though, everything you need to know is all over this site. My best reccommendation is to check out the "stickies" at the top of this forum, and the others. They have great information to get you started...

Also, I highly reccommend a book called "The New Rules of Lifting". Check it out from a local library, it's an excellent read.

Unless you don't need to lose a lot of weight, getting as "toned" as he is shouldn't be too difficult (he's kinda skinny).

Also, don't shave your chest like he does.

bran -you really think he's skinny?...hmm...maby ur right..they do use alot of camera trick nowdays...but i still like his body type, and as my name applies- yes i do have a weight issue so...getting into shape like him is gonna be hard for me- by the way how would you guys define his body type: toned? muscular? skinny?

I googled the name, as I have never seen the show and don't know who he is.. If this is him, then I'd say he is skinny. He isn't even really toned at all.

There is nothing special about him. Atleast not that i can see.

mreik - yea....i guess he does look skinny in this pic, but maby thats a bad pic? lol.. im pretty sure that when i saw him in other pics and on the show he looked more buffed..but personally for me- i would be satisfied with his body type, im not aiming to be really muscular..

That boy's growin some titties...

Yeah I've seen the trailer for his movie, John Tucker Must Die, and he's more cut than that...so basically the answer to how you can achieve that body lies in your diet and exercise.

Lift heavy and eat clean, that's all there is to it...

damn..i was hoping there was gonna be some easier way....like some crazy holllywood "jesse metcalfe" diet lol
