Lean and ripped like Desiree Ficker 4/11/2012 7:13PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
I'm a good runner and I am pretty lean, but how do I get as lean as her. Not only she is super lean (her six packs and muscle definition) but she also has prominent shoulders that protrude- mine are just flat.

Clearly just running a lot isn't enough. How do I change my diet to be super lean, and how do I add a strong upper body like triathletes do. Do I have to swim a lot? Can I just do some weights maybe? What kind of exercises.

And don't even ask. you won't get any of my pictures. But I'm linking some of her pictures.

she looks like a mesomorph, so if you are the typical runner ectomorph you are going to have to stop running, start lifting, and eat a whole lot more protein to look like here.

Did you ever consider that maybe she had a "helper"?

Judging by her abs, I'm guessing a few cycles of testosterone.

She looks somewhat bulky though. Definitely do lots of lifting and crunches. For most serious runners, getting 6 pack is not that hard as we all have very lean in stomach area. Its just matter of doing lots of crunches to add definition.

Personally, I don't find her body to be attractive. A bit too butch for me. Ask your bf if that is what he is into.

She's a professional triathlete...hence a lot of swimming to complement the running (and cycling). And yeah, the core work that goes along with that helps...

the trade off appears to be a fivehead and horseteeth...

why are you obsessed with another woman's body? Pictures of her abs? Pictures of her butt? I mean it's okay if you swing that way, but, at least admit it.

In all seriousness, why do you want the stomach of a man? To impress your girlfriends? So you can pose in the mirror all the time? MEN don't like abs like that. MEN like women's stomachs to be flat, but feminine, NOT to look like a guy's. Comprende?

Ever since women runners started wearing the sportsbra tops, they've all become obsessed with getting, and showing, their ripped abs.

Why don't u think instead about getting faster, or, in the opposite direction, maybe doing something that might attack men, like getting some curves? Manorexic man-abs will do neither.

Apparently, you've never seen her in person. She is smoking hot- not at all "butch". That ripped look comes at the end of a triathlon...dehydrated, etc. I see her at the gum on occasion, and she certainly doesng lift heavy weights. No doubt, the shoulders come from ironman swimming training. To the one who made the comment regarding fivehead and horse teeth, please kindly post pics of yourself.

YOU think she's smoking hot, and other people think she has horseteeth and fivehead. To each his/her own. I've seen her in person and do NOT thing she's hot.

Wow, photoshop a man's head on her, and I'd believe that was a man. I don't understand how that is attractive in a woman. I understand that the idea of being fit is attractive, but I don't stick my **** in an idea. So there you have it everyone: if they could pass as a man with a bag over their head - not attractive. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.
