Yes, literally have a day for legs a day for back day for chest so on and so forth.
You are close to that physique your after. If I shared your goal here is what I would do, thicken up overall, keep your bf in check, your training split sucks, 6 days a week is too much for your level, opt for a 4 day split. Your going to have to add muscle to your chest and shoulders to match Ryan Reynolds physique, your definition/separation will improve when you thicken up. Read up on calorie/carb cycling so you can add muscle while keeping your bf low.

I can’t speak for fuzzy apple but I would say to do a more “traditional” split. here’s an article from not too long ago for some ideas:
Thanks that actually really helped. Quite alot of new stuff there I’m wanting to try now.

i Just did a bit of research on ‘back abs’, quite alot of exercises I haven’t been doing.
I only did the plank with some abs sessions, on the occasion.
Ok so I changed my plan a bit (With advice from other members as well thanks):
Day 1 - Chest, Lower Abs, Side Legs
Day 2 - Back, Side Abs, Upper Legs
Day 3 - Shoulders, Upper Abs, Calves
Day 4 - Arms, Back Abs
Day 5 - OFF
Repeat…

Hows 4 days 1 day off, rince repeat?
Note I do eat exceptionally well, take recovery shakes etc., drink very rarely (alchol), get lots of sleep and am overall dedicated.
Or still to much?
Alright gonna focus on thickening up a bit, can only say give me a few months and hopefully put a few pics up with results ![]()

I think he is just making fun of you with all your ab work…

EDIT: My posts are being weird. I will edit later with what I wrote.
Day 1: Chest & Core
Day 2: Quads & Hamstrings
Day 3: Back & Shoulders
Day 4: OFF or Cardio & Core
Day 5: Biceps, Triceps & Calves
Day 6: OFF or Cario
Day 7: OFF
You need to keep it simple stupid (KISS). You’re making everything to complicated with all this ab, side ab, back ab and side leg training. Train abs as a whole, as upper abs is the same muscle as lower abs. The “6” pack is all ONE muscle. With the split example I gave you your body parts will have plenty time to recover allowing you to hit each on hard.
Again, just my opinion on what you should do.
Hey Xev… I think the back abs and side legs thing was a joke. ![]()
Lots of good advice already in this thread, listen up and good luck with your goals.
what are back and side abs? And how do you split upper and side legs? How come you don’t include lower or back leg?
Thanks for the advice again guys, updated my routine and original thread quite a bit.

Back Abs, is where you for example lay down on your back and your stomach in for a prolonged period, or lay down in the ‘plank’ position. google’ing it is the best option.
I do include calves?

Hmmm… well firstly added a pic as an example of more sort of what I’m generally after, atleast my preffered personal goal. (Ryan Reynolds From the 3rd Blade film). Although yea certinaly not saying he/me could use some more MASS still.
Sorry was converting it from 12.5 Stone (English weight measurement), recalculated it’s actually 175 LBS, if that makes much of a difference ![]()
Thanks for the feedback, what would a normal split look like, i.e. not mixing arms/legs together on same days?

I won’t shit on you for this goal, but your body type is totally different than ryan reynolds. you have a naturally thick waist and torso, he doesn’t. he has long ass arms, you dont look like you do.
Do a google search for “How to build body like Ryan Reynolds” exactly how I typed it. The first page that will come up has a lot of info you may find useful.
Keep in mind though Ryan Reynold’s is like 6’2"

Yea he’s 6.2, he’ll always look leaner. Anyways I found a much better picture.
“He’ll always look leaner” makes no sense. A short guy can get just as ripped as a tall guy. And how exactly did you find a better picture when I told you where it is?

What day do you train back abs and side legs on?[/quote]
…cant stop laughing, think I’m gonna wet myself
Xev - you have no noticable lats at all. Pullups, pullups and more pullups are in order. Weak lats will hold you back in many regards. Tip of the iceberg perhaps but as good a place to start as any.
And how exactly do you train a side leg?

I just meant as in a taller guy will generally have a more leaner outlook than a shorter guy.

This makes zero sense whatsoever.
LOL @ the mass amounts of underdeveloped people jumping into a program designed for advanced bodybuilders and expecting stand out results.

Yeah you’re an anomaly bonez wtf, you should have a more pudgy, stocky blocky outlook.
I’m kinda surprised no one said this yet, but your arms are what needs work. If you focused on biceps, triceps, forearms, and shoulders for about 3 months, I think it would really balance you out.
Except for your stomach being a little ahead, everything else is in OK balance. Get a little more in your arms and you will look a lot more like you claim to want. Then evaluate whether you want a little more mass overall.
