If I had to rebuild a Lean Body from scratch...
These are the exact exercises I would do (bookmark this thread for the gym):
The Lean Body look isn't about getting massive.
It's about building:
• Toned Legs
• Defined Arms
• Broad Shoulders
• A Wide Upper Back
• A Strong Upper Chest
• Shredded Abs & Obliques
In perfect proportion. Let's jump in:
|| CHEST ||
For the Lean Body look, all parts of the chest are important.
But the upper chest is the emphasis:
• Dips 3xMAX (low)
• Flat DB Press 3x8-12
• Mid-Incline DB Press 3x6-8
• High-Incline DB Press 3x6-8
• Low-to-High Cable Fly 3x10-15
|| SHOULDERS & ARMS||
Shoulders & arms get indirect work from Chest & Back.
Here's extra direct work (emphasis on mid-delts):
• Incline DB Curls 3x8-12
• DB Lateral Raise 4x10-15
• DB Overhead Press 3x6-8
• Cable Lateral Raise 4x10-15
• Overhead Tricep Extension 3x8-12
|| BACK & TRAPS ||
A Wide Upper Back creates the V-taper. Here's how to get it:
• DB Shrugs 3x10-15
• Weighted Pull Ups 3x6-8
• Wide-Grip Pulldowns 3x8-12
• Underhand Pulldowns 3x8-12
• Overhand Supported Row 3x8-12
• Parallel Grip Supported Row 3x6-8
||ABS & OBLIQUES||
The abs need to be trained hard like everything else:
• Machine Crunch 4x8-12
• Hanging Leg Raise 4xMAX
• Weighted Side Bend 4x10-15
• Cable Oblique Crunch 4x8-12
||LEGS & GLUTES||
The Lean Body look isn't complete if you have chicken legs:
• Squat 3x6-8
• Leg Press 3x10-15
• Leg Extension 3x8-12
• Hamstring Curl 3x8-12
• Seated Calves 5x10-12
• Standing Calves 5x8-12
• Romanian Deadlift 3x6-8
• Bulgarian Split Squat 3x8-12
This is a full week of training.
But make sure you organize it properly:
• Upper/Lower
• Push, Pull, Legs
• etc
Then progress reps or weights each week.
Lastly, lock in your nutrition & lifestyle to get lean:
1. Calorie Deficit
2. High Protein Diet
3. 8k+ steps a day
P.S. I'm looking for 2 more entrepreneurs or busy professionals to build a lean energetic body & champion-level confidence.
(all while eating the foods you love and training 1.5 hours a week)
