Get a body like LL Cool J

When you think of rappers with good bodies you think of LL Cool J and 50 Cent, these guys are in great shape.  LL and 50 are not only muscular but have a lean low fat look.  There is no doubt that heavy weights is a major part of their workout but I am pretty sure if you asked them you would find these guys putting in the high reps, body-weight exercises and a few hours of cardio each week.

How to get in shape like LL Cool J?

You certainly need to be hitting the weights hard if you want a body like LL Cool J.  Heavy bench presses of around 6-8 reps on the incline, decline and flat setting.  You will need to do regular chest flies in your chest workout and get used to high rep press ups as well as weighted and raised press ups.  Hit the arms hard with heavy barbell and dumbbell curls 6-8 reps.  LL Cool J has great traps these will come naturally without having to isolate the muscle group as most people develop these pretty fast from lat flyes however if your not getting the growth you want throw in some shrugs once a week that is sure to blast them.  Abs, the muscle group that really stands out on LL, hit these with high reps 20-30 reps feet raised sit ups and leg raises.  Introduce weighted sit ups as you progress to.  For cardio concentrate on a 40 minute light jogs twice a week.

What should my diet be like?

As LL Cool J is very low fat you will need to watch your carbs ensuring they are not too high but enough to get the muscle growth you are after because remember Carbs are essential to muscle growth not just protein, most people trying to build muscle don’t get anywhere near the Carbs they should.  Fruit and Veg is equally essential for your anti oxidants and should be eaten daily.  Last but not least make sure you get plenty of water to flush out toxins and help with weight loss, don’t forget the myth that drinking water makes you look fatter, what it actually does it make you reduce water tension.
