Natural Physique Development in Aesthetics, Strength and Fitness 

Kinobody to me is about achieving extreme physical excellence in aesthetics, strength and fitness. Now when I say aesthetics I am not referring to the puffy, round and curvy physique of bodybuilders. Rather I’m talking about a hard, dense and angular physique with broad thick shoulders and upper back muscles, masculine square chest, rock hard arms, taut waist and athletic legs. However even this detailed description allows room for different builds. In fact, as my physique has improved and I’ve built strength in the gym, my body has shifted in size and development. This has encouraged me to classify the three different types of kinobody physiques. These include the Warrior, Greek God and Superhero build. With each physique there is an emphasis on aesthetic proportions, leanness and functional strength. The difference between the three classes is the level of muscle development attained. With proper, tailored nutrition intake and a well designed strength training program, you can achieve any of these physiques. Let’s take a look at each class individually:

Warrior Physique 

• Exceptionally lean, toned and wiry
• Shredded abs
• Appears slim in clothes
• 6-8% body fat
• Ex: Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Christian Bale in American Psycho

The warrior build is the original kinobody physique that I encouraged at the start of this blog back in 2011. I was turned off by the meat head movement to get bigger at all costs and opted for a lean and toned physique instead. The warrior physique requires a mix of lower volume strength training and cardio/intervals to attain. As well, it is essential that you reach and maintain a low body fat through proper diet and nutrition. The great benefit of the warrior physique is that your face will be seriously defined and chiseled. Blue steel baby! Your body will also photograph incredibly well. You may appear slim in clothes but when you take your shirt off jaws will drop.

Greek God Physique

• Muscular with great definition and proportion
• Stands out in clothes
• 8-10% body fat
• Ex: Brad Pitt in Troy, Daniel Craig in Casino Royale

This is the look that I have shifted my emphasis towards in the last year. The Greek God Physique definitely attracts more female attention, provided you wear well fitted clothing. As well, this bigger and more muscular build makes you appear more dominant and imposing. Girls will ask to feel your muscles and they may even nonchalantly bump into you quite often. This type of physique comes with some serious strength and power! In fact I didn’t have this physique until I was capable of incline benching 240 lbs for 5 reps and chinning 100+ lbs for 5 reps. My new Kinobody Muscle Building Course is designed around achieving this type of physique.

Superhero Physique

• Incredible Muscle Development
• Looks like a real life superhero
• Rockhard muscles and chiseled abs
• Ex: Chris Evans in Captain America, Chris Hemsworth in Thor, Henry Cavill in Superman

The Superhero Physique is very similar to the Greek God Physique but with an extra 5-8 lbs of ‘pretty muscle’. This additional growth makes a very big visual difference and is attained by adding high volume pump training into your lifting regime. An emphasis on high quality carbs is important to stock up muscle glycogen stores. In my Kinobody Muscle Building Course I provide a 3 level superhero workout program with increasing levels of exercise volume. This type of training should be reserved for those who have surpassed the intermediate stages of strength and training experience. The superhero look is truly an astonishing one. Adding in the high volume lifting and high carbs will buff up your body fast and give you the shrink wrap effect making your muscles look absolutely incredible. I plan on being in superhero condition for April 1st, 2013.

Building the Kinobody Physiques 

Attaining anyone of the Kinobody Physiques doesn’t happen by accident. It requires proper diet and nutrient intake tailored towards your goal. It also requires a consistent increase in strength on movements that best enhance your muscle development. My preference is towards incline bench, standing presses, dips, chin ups, barbell curls, skull crushers, lateral raises, rear delt flyes, bulgarian split squats, calf raises…..

If you are getting stronger in the gym, maintaining a low body fat or gradually dropping any excess fat then you are bringing your body closer to the Ideal Kinobody Physiques. Continue this process and you will eventually reach the Warrior or Greek God build. You will need to attain a lower body fat for the warrior physique. For the Greek God physique you will need to build up more strength and mass. Taking things into Superhero status requires a great nutrition protocol and some additional high volume lifting.
