HOW DO YOU GET LEAN – WHAT IS YOUR TRUE LEAN POTENTIAL AND WHAT DOES THIS MEAN

When new trainees, mainly males, seek to find out how do you get lean they are often confused as to what a true naturally lean physique is versus the information they may have garnered from magazines and other sources, a key consideration to keep in mind is that a lot of these physiques are drug enhanced and not really achievable to the everyday trainee…

So to cover the basics when we are talking about getting lean we mean losing body fat and building/ shaping the underlying musculature.

There are a few benchmarks we can use to measure a true naturally lean physique, note we are referring here mostly to male trainees, as this is a situation that they typically face, which is what your body weight can really be vs. being lean at the same time vs. what you see in the magazines, which is different for females who tend towards the opposite end of the spectrum and typically want to sacrifice any weight even if this included lean body mass (which you don’t want to lose!)

Martin Brennan at lean gains talks about the natural limit he has seen, which can be calculated by, Height (in cm)-100 = Bodyweight in kg with approx. 8% body fat (visible abs)

Matt Marshall at tried and true fitness has done research on bodybuilders from the early 1900’s when drugs weren’t in use and has calculated that these individuals possessed about 3lbs/inch in height to equate to a lean physique.

So a 6ft (182cm) male could expect to be 82kg, 98kg would represent the peak lean weights achieved by bodybuilders of drug free eras. In comparison to recent record holding Mr Olympia bodybuilder, Ronnie Coleman who at 1.8m weighed approx. 135kg!!!

So where does that leave a lot of aspiring trainees these days when trying to equate the physiques and body weights they see on professional bodybuilders to what they can achieve? Its leaves them up the creak, because for 99% of them it won’t be achievable as they are not using drugs and don’t have the extraordinary genetics, yet the routines published by the magazines in line with what these pros do is what a lot of trainees follow, in an attempt to achieve these results and so are doomed to failure…

But it doesn’t have to be so, the great aesthetic appeal of a true lean physique, both male and female, is a lean waist, for women this enhances the hour glass figure while for males a lean physique can truly enhance the aesthetic appeal as it can add the effect of size to your chest and arms, and hence the v taper look, whereas if you were focusing solely on body weight in attempt to look like a pro you could be sporting a couple more inches on your chest and half an inch on your arms but your waist could also be 6-7+inches wider also.

The classic Greek proportions of a male have a waist to chest ratio of 70%-75%, invariably to measure up to these dimensions you are going to more in line with the body weights setout in the initial calculations, it’s interesting to note also that a lot of professional bodybuilders these days fail to meet this ratio even when fully flexed, and when not fully flexed, well you have all seen those pictures of distended guts due to excessive drug taking, so who wants to look like that?

So when looking at how do you get lean a lot of male trainees would be better placed to focus on their waist to chest ratio rather than what there absolute weight is on the scale, and to achieve this level of dimensional perfection is probably more attainable than you may realise, real natural trainees only need to spend 1-2 days in the gym per week max to build and strengthen the required musculature and the body fat situation is a case of proper nutrition that delivers food to your blood stream in a fashion so as to avoid insulin spikes and allows the body fat to be burned off through your normal everyday activities.
