Great article and great info on Will Smith. I find him to be one of the best role models out there. Ok so here is me.. 6ft. 228 pounds. Due to a car acc and immobilization i gained a lot of weight. Former basketball player and swimmer. A lot of road to achieve my final goal but getting started strong. Would like to achieve a body like W.Smith has on I, Robot. How is W. smith on I am legend 182 and looks like that????? When i drop at approximately 193pounds i look sooo slim!! Everyone is like STOP losing weight. Different body types perhaps? If i try to go like 182 i would look like a corpse, and i'm also 1inch shorter than Smith. Also my bone structure is kind on the heavy side: my wrists are 8inches. >What would be a good weight-BF ratio for me to look like Will is looking on I,Robot? You all take care, and look forward for your reply :) Chris Hi to all! Great article and great info on Will Smith. I find him to be one of the best role models out there.

I've been trying to find the right balance between being really big and ripped. My workout routine is: Mondays: Chest and Triceps Tuesday: Biceps and Back Wednesday: 90 minutes of cardio Thursday: legs Fridays: shoulders saturdays: 90 minutes of cardio things to note: after each sesseion i do 4 sets of 50 crunches and back stretches. Thats my workout at the moment. The two main problems for me at the moment are my chest and my abs, well the lower ones. my chest is sort of slanty, i want the whole muscle to be even like Wills' but my mid chest area is a lot bigger than my upper chest. and getting ripped abdominals is extremely hard for me. I have a 4 pack but getting the 3rd set is almost impossible. I changed my diet round last week and quit drinking completely for the forseeable future. How do I achieve a flat ripped chest like that? Also, I don't ever want to use any supplements. Is it possible to achieve a 7% body fat percentage. All my cardio is done in the gym as my knees are wobbly so i can't run outside.

( My heaviest weight ever ). I've been as low as 180 . I def. need to drop 20 lbs. to get back to a llean weight. I looked up actors who are my height and who got in great shape for certain movie roles ( Hugh Jackman in Wolverine, Ryan Ryenolds in Blade Trinity, Gerald Butler in 300, Will Smith in I am Legend ). Does anyone know how much these guys weighed in for these roles and what they're Diet and trainig routines were like ? Also, to drop 20 lbs. how many calories and amount of cardio should I do along with weight training ? I was thinking of consuming 3000 calories a day, with 300 g. protein and 300 g. of carbs a day ( no carbs past 7:00 p.m. ), and lifting heavy weights for 30 min. with 20-25. min. on the treadmill or Rowing machine. High Intensity training for cardio. Thanks for the insight and help - Michael I am 6'2 and currently weigh in at 210 lbs. ( My heaviest weight ever ). I've been as low as 180 .

I buy the boxes of 42 servings and mix with water and ice. If you go to bodybuilding.com you will save a lot of money...you will also get it within 3-5 days (at least I do where I live). The Strawberry Cream tastes the best. It is 42 grams of high quality protein and has a great deal of vitamins in each serving. Rusty Iain,

If you want to gain muscle quickly, you should aim for 150-200 grams of protein per day. This is much more than I normally recommend and you will want to back off once you hit your goal. Hope that helps, Rusty iain,

Ok so you suggest i stick with both biceps and triceps exercises. I have been doing roughly 3 sets of 5 slow reps of chin ups every second day. Also superset my chin ups with push ups. I just try them to failure really or do 10 push ups then 1 min rest and repeat. Is this the best way to go ? And im trying to take in protein as much as possible even though im not so sure how much i should consume daily ?? Any ideas as a guide ? Once again thanks a lot rusty ;) Wow at does sound big !

My best estimate for Will Smith's arm size is around 16-16.5 inches...which is about the same size as his neck. As far as building bigger arms. Make sure you work your triceps as well. Get stronger at pressing exercises to add mass to the triceps...like bench press, military presses, and dips. Get stronger at "pulling" exercises like rows, chinups, and dips to add mass to your biceps. Include 2 direct bicep exercises as well. To build size in your biceps I believe their is nothing better than standing straight bar curls...ideally with an olympic bar. Follow that up with some form of dumbbell curl. You can count on your arms growing for about 2 more years just as a natural result of getting stronger. Focus on gaining functional strength while staying lean and you will wind up looking like Will Smith did in I Am Legend. Rusty iain,
