    Out of them all, I would say G is the most attractive body type to me.

    Pretty happy with myself...don't really want to look like anyone else. But if I had to pick I'd say Chris Hemsworth in Thor is my ultimate goal.

    (Continued from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1355407-what-s-a-good-male-body-type-look)

    I figured out how to post an image, I think. I have a few questions.

    1) I've been skinny all my life, how do I overcome my genetics and gain weight in a healthy way? I don't want to get super fat or be like a bodybuilder (I don't have the time to be super ripped), I just not be stick thin anymore. What's a sustainable body type?

    2) Males: from picture A to H, what's your fitness body type goal (one that you'd like to be most like)?

    and...females: which pic(s) do you think is most appealing?

    If we're going by body-type only, I have better muscle tone (as a 40 year old woman) then all of them except for A & D. Do these bros even lift? Or eat?

    IMO this is the perfect male body type:

    My wife liked this response....

    The one about the dishwasher and Turning her on....

    I laughed and told her it sucks to be you!!!!!


    Actually seriously, you need to increase protein and calories. Working out consistently. Those are what did it for me, as well as metabolism slowing down in my 30's. Now I am trying to just be cut, but keeping my weight to a degree. ( I want 185-190) at 200 now.

    Thanks for the replies.

    What I meant about not having the time to get super ripped is, I don't want to be one of those people who has to spend 2-3 hours in the gym every day. That's too much. I think 1 hour per day is reasonable and manageable as long as I use my time effectively (right?), I really do like to move and exercise but I'm not going to 'live in a gym.'

    It seems I have to control my diet a bit more though. Right now, I'm probably more of a picture E and I'm thinking that's a little too skinny, in fact I'm probably skinnier than picture E...I guess not wanting to be super ripped would be like picture D, I don't want to look like that. I can appreciate and respect people who manage to be like pic D but for me, I don't have the time, drive, or desire to get that look.

    I will set small realistic goals then. What are some good home exercises to do that will try to give you a well rounded workout? Or should I focus on just a few muscle groups a day. My friend has T25, and he said it’s worked for him.

    That guy is obviously very strong, but I think that that pic would not be my own personal goal. Something a little less, and doable. With my genetics, I don't think this is a sustainable goal.

    Is it weird that I pick G...specifically due to the excessive chest hair?

    *wipes drool*
    I've never liked extreme muscle bound or extreme skinny so, A, B, C, F, G, H with emphasis on G

    It isn't a reachable goal unless you do steroids.

    An hour in the gym 4-5 days a week should be good as long as you are eating appropriately. You need to push it hard and you should see some results eventually. Won't happen overnight, it's going to take a while. Just think of your goal as something you will probably reach in a couple of years if you really put the effort in.

    G.

    All the others have merit as well, depending on personality. But even if he has no personality whatsoever, I like G.

    I'm shooting for D! If my genetics allow for bigger, then bigger, but In doubt it...

    A if he has the legs to match but needs a little of Gs hair. And that blue eyed guy if hes real, i dont know something about those abs seems airbrushed fakey molded plastic like weird, but the rest of the body is ideal.

    Thanks, everyone has been very helpful.

    Should I limit cardio if I want to gain healthy weight? And just focus on resistance training? Or should I do both or alternate on certain days? I don't mind paying for a gym membership but I can't afford the personal training sessions as they seem to go for 60 bucks per hour easily.

    For me, I think a realistic goal might be something with slightly more weight and build than pic E. I definitely think this is doable, and I don't expect fast results either, although I wouldn't complain if that happened, lol
