Get a body like Mike Tyson

September 25th, 2009

Mike Tyson has great genetics, he is a mesomorph (most muscular build) and has been lifting weights and training hard his whole life.  Mike Tyson has been driven since a young age to suceed so has put in everything he has into his .  To get a body like Mike you will need to be training 4-5 times a week hard doing cardio for 3-4 hours a week and heavy weights 3-4 times a week.  Your diet will have to be strict, high protein and high carbs.  Sports supplements will really help you to get a body like this.

Mike Tyson has large bulky deltoids(shoulders) to get shoulders like this you will need to be doing heavy shoulder presses of around 6 reps twice a week, I would advise.  Mike overall has thick bulky muscle that heavy weight training will develop along side a high protein diet.  Still do high rep training but only for a couple of sets each workout to get the chiseled look.  Although Mike Tyson has a thick muscular build he has ripped abs, you will need to be hitting the abs hard every workout, the abs need hitting harder than most muscle groups like the calves so you will need to hit them regularly and intensely.

The majority of Mikes training is made up from boxing training, impact training like boxing helps tone muscles and increase muscular density.  Start using the punch bag after a couple of workouts each week doing rounds on the bag hard for 3 minutes, at first this will be hard to go 3 minutes but as you get fitter you will be able to last.  Boxing training will help shape the shoulders and triceps as this is where the power comes from.

Make sure you are eating red meat, chicken, fish, protein shakes this is what will develop the thick muscular build you are after, eat rice and potatoes for your carbs and lots of fruit and vegetables.

    This post is bs. Tyson looks the way he does through all genetics. An ectomorph doing high rep weights, 15hrs of cardio/aerobic exercise or boxing related interval training a week, and hitting the heavy bag will basically look skinny as ever. Maybe with the right dedication and supplements you can “aspire” to look something like Bruce Lee, but not MIke Tyson.

    If you wanted to simply bulk up, then bodybuilding is the way to go. But then again, there would be no need for this article…you won’t look like tyson but u’ll be bulky and beefy.
