It takes years of concentrated effort, lifting, nutrition, sleep, repeat over and over and over again to get even remotely close to having the size that you are talking about you are talking about that you don't want to get to. But even to get where you are talking about you still have to lift and lift heavy. Only do the weight that allows you to do 6-8 reps and rest for a minute but no longer than 2 minutes for each rep.

 

Don't forget inclines. Your upper chest is really what gives the definition and so many people ignore it. Inclines and flat, once you get going add declines. Do chest at least twice a week, at 165 I would try to put at least 150g of protein away every day, take some creatine, plenty of water and get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

Isolate chest exercises eat food...not just protein, FOOD. You're very light for your height so I assume you don't eat much...this is the biggest issue for new lifters, they don't want to look fat and want to be cut so they pump iron and don't eat poo.

Build muscle by lifting heavy and eating a poo ton of food. Getting a little fat is ok while building muscle, because you do NOT want a lack of calories and have your body eating muscle.

After you bulk up, maintain the muscle (lift less) and do some cardio and eat less.

Building muscle (and a lot of times fat) and losing weight so the muscle you've built will show better are the only two ways to really make a difference and has a lot to do with diet and eating and discipline.

After while of doing this you can calculate how much you'll need to work out and eat to maintain the muscle and not gain weight. Which is the ultimate.

Remember, on creatine, "plenty of water" means a crazy ridiculous amount.

I don't take creatine personally and I have made gains without it. Lots of good advise in this thread. Lmao at that picture you posted. If that's your goal, I dunno man, pushups might probably help you achieve that.

that's not my longterm goal just what I would like to have in 2 months

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
