How muscular do you need to be to maximize your aesthetics from the standpoint of style?

Not *that* muscular to be honest. You don't need to look like a bodybuilder. More like an athlete.

And the most important measurement to that end is your drop.

What is a drop?
The drop is the difference between the circumference of your chest and waist.

Ideally you want to shoot for at least a 10" difference (in favor of your chest).

So if you have a 42" chest you want to aim for a 32" waist.
This will give you that much vaunted v-taper look.

And this in turn will make your clothes (especially t-shirts) drape favorably.
Like you see here:
Obviously this means you need to get into shape.

And as important as it is to build muscle what most guys really need to do first is drop that spare tire around their waist.

Especially if they want any hope of acheiving that v-taper look.
Good news is my friend @anymanfitness is running his No Cardio Fat Shredding (NCFS) Program next week and you can sign up now for the early bird discount ($89)👉 bit.ly/3Gj2gvr
Price will be going up on Friday at midnight.

People are losing on average ~2" from their waist in 6 weeks.

That would put many FIRMLY on the path to hitting that 10" drop

The only thing you'll be losing here is inches off your waist.

Your health AND your style will thank you.

A big issue I see with the average man's style is immaturity.

Baggy jeans, hoodies, ball caps...most guys in their 30s still dress like they're in high school or college...not good.

Here are some quick pointers on how to mature your style without making you look "old"...
First, upgrade your flimsy zip hoodies for luxe options in cashmere or fine wool. Wear these hoodies straight up on their own with your denim jeans and chinos. Go for a nice FITTED look like you see on the right.
Second - your jeans should be dark and fitted. Avoid anything excessively baggy or with stylized back pockets which lean more youthful and trendy.

Sebastian Stan here showing us the power of appearance.

On the left, he's filming a movie and in character, on the right is a candid shot from real life.

He's wearing a hoodie in both fits but the impression we get from each look is entirely different.
Stan is 39 years old too btw, but that fit on the left is COMMON among older millenial males - baggy, oversized hoodie + jeans and sneakers.

Most men dressed like this in college and never evolved. It looks juvenile...as if these men haven't truly matured.
And yes Stan is wearing a hoodie on the right too but note the difference in the fit. It also looks like a luxe option in wool or cashmere...the legit top coat also sharpens the fit. Casual yet classy is how I'd describe the outfit.

How to set up a diet in about 10 minutes:

In order of importance:

Calories
Protein
Fat
Carbs
Set your calories first depending on your goals (fat loss vs muscle gain).

Good place to start for fat loss is BW X 12 in calories

For muscle gain - start with BW X 14-16 and add perhaps 200 extra calories on top of that.
Set your protein intake next. Easy to just base it on your bodyweight. 1g per lb of bodyweight in protein is PLENTY...can probably do more like .6 to .8g per lb of bodyweight.

Plimsoll style sneakers - essentially a canvas upper + rubber sole. These were popularized by rubber companies in the US - although initially invented in the UK as beachwear...
They're called plimsolls because that characteristic line you see on the rubber sole reminded people of a plimsoll line on a ship.
Apparently the line served a purpose on these shoes like they do on ships - if water got above the line on the shoe your feet would get wet...

The Breton Striped T-Shirt

Been talking about these shirts A LOT for the past couple of seasons but they seem to have hit their stride this year. Lots of options out there.

And yes, you can wear them casually OR dress them up.
