MightyPen Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I find visualization to be a VERY powerful too. So with that in mind, I tried to find a guy with a physique that is obtainable for me (with a LOT of work). Chris Pratt (36 years old) is close to my age and was NOT blessed with great genetics like some bodybuilders are. Just google "Chris Pratt before and after" to see how he changed his body for Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. Yes, I'm sure he had a ton of support, but he still did it. He was downright doughy for most of his Parks and Rec run but the last year or two yo could tell he was getting in shape. Anyone else have one? Link to post Share on other sites
burnt Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Anybody who's taller than me! I wish I could look like them! Ok. besides the obviously unattainable features (taller height or prettier face…), actually I have never looked at someone's body shape and wished to look like them. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm rather content with my own physique. My motivation is I want to get healthier, compared to what I am now, not compared to what someone else is like. Someone else's body doesn't inspire me. Link to post Share on other sites

Author MightyPen Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well I was really talking about physiques that could be emulated with solid nutrition and lifestyle choices, plus enough time in the gym. I personally find it helpful to have a visual of what I could transform into. Something difficult but realistic with enough work. Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, I take your point... well, I'd really rather look like this - Than like this. (And it's hard to believe that's NOT photoshopped, but I watched the competition on satellite tv. and it's not. ) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

losangelena Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Ehn, I understand what you're going for, OP, but I've always thought celebrity body emulation was a bit unrealistic. I mean, you're talking about people who literally get paid to work out and have extremely strict diets. They also have armies worth of help, be they personal trainers, dietitians, plastic surgeons, stylists, and hair and makeup people. Also, Photoshop. Having said all that, I agree that visualization can be a powerful motivator, and that if you're gonna pick a celebrity for this, Chris Pratt is as good as anyone. Link to post Share on other sites
SammySammy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Brad Pitt - Fight Club Taylor Lautner - The Twilight Series At my age, I'm not looking to be Mr. Universe. I just want to be in shape. Just want a flat stomach. Both of those guys are about my height. I'm 5' 10". Brad is 5' 11" and Taylor is 5' 9". Brad is older than me. Taylor is much younger. But, yeah, that's the goal. And I'm very close .... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

lchf Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Derek Poundstone Frank Mcgrath Oh, ok. Sorry, I take your point... well, I'd really rather look like this - Than like this. (And it's hard to believe that's NOT photoshopped, but I watched the competition on satellite tv. and it's not. ) That has to be one of the most blatant photoshops I've seen in a while. Not even Iris Kyle at her biggest had delts and arms of that chick. You can even see the windows of the buildings on the left in the background, they've been skewed to hell when the original was liquified. Link to post Share on other sites
