    Ok, when you look like picture A, get out of calorie deficit.
    The routine will be the same. Discipline, exercise, good diet. Up to you how far you want to take it.

    Here's a picture of Eason looking all regular-person-like. (Also pregnant, 'cause she's currently...pregnant.)

    am i the only one that thinks Eason must've been laughing when they asked her to hold those puny weights??? WTF?!

    Actually you probably are! My husband is a professional fitness photographer and the models rarely if ever hold heavy weights for photo shoots. Posing is a lot of work in itself and if they have to hold heavy weights for hours while posing for a shoot, they exhaust the muscles too quick.

    They should make foam weights for props. 2lbs weights look silly.

    Lose weight through calorie deficit and lift heavy to maintain muscle. I'd recommend Stronglifts 5x5, Starting Strength or New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women. Eat about 100grams of protein a day. You don't really need to "build" muscles to look like the first picture. Just maintain what you have while removing the fat above it.

    Jamie Eason (2nd picture) is a fitness model. She's gone through several bulk/cut cycles, lifts heavy and probably has her nutrition dialed in perfectly for whatever goals she has at each moment. You can't "accidentally" look like her.

    I agree with this! :smile:

    In the first pic, she has some muscle definition, but it's not a lot. As mentioned above, you could probably just focus on maintaining muscle and building strength. As your body fat gradually decreases (via a calorie deficit) you may end up looking close to that.

    Jamie Eason trains and eats specifically to look like that, it doesn't automatically happen when you're training for another reasons (muscle maintenance + strength to give 2 examples)

    I will also add that while you may not like to look like Jamie in that particular pic, she looks very different when not oiled/pumped/very lean. A slightly higher bf% and in a more natural setting, will give her a softer, less muscular look.

    The second picture is Jamie Eason and she actually has a diet and exercise plan called Live Fit. Check her free information out at:

    I was just going to post this link! The program and diet advice is awesome!

    my issue isn't that she was not holding big weights...but that they even bothered to have her hold those tiny things at all.

    It's retarded. I'm sorry. It just is.

    It's a very common practice for photo shoots. It all depends on what the client wants for the photo. It's more about what it represents and the art than the actual size of the dumbbell :-)

    Those women look the same. One is pumped and oiled up and the other isnt.

    She looks like this in the "off season?" I've never seen a "soft" picture of her before, just the ones where she's clearly flexing.

    Holy catz.
    Amazing.

    So I'm confused...you state you want to gain muscle yet you want to look like a picture of someone who has no muscle, and don't want to look like the picture of someone that has muscle???

    Maybe the pictures are a bit confusing.. I love the first pics leg muscles.. I even like the second pic's leg muscles.. However I do not want my arms like the second pic.. I like lean tone arms but not like 2nd pic.

    Does that make more sense?

    If I had nutz I'd give the left one to look like her. As it stands I need all the parts and pieces I have to try to look like her but she may be a rule breaker for me.

    Eat at a calorie deficit and lift heavy to get to pic A.

    For pic B it's likely you would need to do a few bulk/cut cycles to get that level of muscle - not something that will happen by accident.

    my thoughts exactly...

    I third this thought.....

    Picture one she looks.....squishy.
    Picture 2, other than the tan and body oil, she's got a nicer figure.


    To poster right above me....
    For pic A...lift heavy? Nah, that's a cardio body. No weights involved.

    that is just to much for me..

    Ummmmm..... O.o

    You titled your thread wrong. If you don't want to have muscles, that's your choice, but the title you chose contradicts the content. In other words, you makey no sensey.

    If you don't want to look as hot and muscular as Jamie, just eat whatever you want and don't work out too hard. TRUST ME, you will NEVER look like her on accident!

    I don't want to look like that either. I'd rather stick with this -victoria-secret-models-5.jpg

    if you are eating in a calorie deficit you will not get arms bigger than your husband...

    all that will happen is that you will lean out and look slightly more athletic...which, IMO is a good thing..but hey, what do I know :)

    Like someone else said, you wouldn't get her arms, or any other body part, by accident. if you do the whole deficit thing, as noted ten times already, and do some basic lifting, you will look good.... and probably won't get arms you don't want.

    For the record, as a guy, speaking for many of the guys here (and I base that on comments from other threads that have come up like this), we don't mind some nice definition in the arms. If you were to accidently end up with arms like this gal, trust me, it wouldn't be the end of the world for you. Matter of fact, it just might open up new worlds for you :D

    Lean protein aids in muscle tone. Strength training 2-3 days a week mixed with cardio 3 days a week. Get the refinded sugars out of your diet as well.

    Thank You for your comment. :)

    better start practicing your Photoshop skills then. Because even *they* do not look like that.
