Copyright (c) 2011 Joe Maldonado Cristiano Ronaldo has the kind of physique that leaves you in awe. What exactly does that guy do anyway? The truth is it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. Of course there are core elements that are important for anyone who wants to gain muscle mass like him, but really if you want to attain that type of physical fitness you are going to have to personalize your plan a little to suit your personal goals as well as your own personal starting point. Your physical condition right now is going to directly determine what direction you need to go in as far as a workout and diet plan. If your goal is to end up with some muscle mass like Cristiano Ronaldo, consider what you will need to overcome in order to reach that goal. Are you a skinny guy who has never had any real muscle mass? Or maybe you are one of those people who are able to build muscle, but your muscle is hiding underneath a significant amount of body fat. These are two very different situations that will require two very different approaches. This is why it never works when people just try to imitate the plan that someone else has gone by. Everyone is so different that individual workout and diet plans are needed in order to get the best success. If you are naturally skinny, your approach is going to be a bit more aggressive. When you are in the weight room you will be lifting heavier weight while doing fewer reps. Continue to add more weight as you go so that you are constantly stressing your muscles. However, do not over-train. Be sure to allow sufficient recovery time in between your workouts. Your muscles grow through the recovery process, so don't skip it. Eat plenty of protein after your workouts to enhance recovery. Eat before your workouts too so that you will be able to perform to the best of your ability. As a matter of fact, you should be eating 5-7 times a day, and include sufficient amounts of protein and carbohydrates in every meal. If you need to focus on fat loss, you will be lifting less weight for more reps. Vary the intensity of your workouts so that your body never gets used to what you are doing. When it comes to dieting, you will need to cut down on your calories, but you should still focus on lean protein. This is more difficult for your body to break down so you will use more energy breaking down protein than anything else. Once your body runs out of energy it will turn to stored fat for energy to burn. You can see why everyone is so different in their physical fitness needs that one person is going to need a completely different approach than the next. While Cristiano Ronaldo got great results doing things his way, you may need to do something totally different to get where he is at.
