David Bromstad is the star of the popular HGTV show “Color Splash.” He has become very popular due to his amazing design acumen, custom art, and colored styles. Although her show has built a huge following of interior design junkies, her slim and fit physique has also been a talking point. He has an average amount of muscle mass, but his muscles have outstanding tone. It has very good definition because it has been able to keep body fat low to reveal its ripped body. It doesn’t take long in the gym to get the same amount of muscle as David. If you want a slim body like him, ditch the bodybuilder mindset.
It is more difficult to lose weight than to gain weight
What I mean by “bodybuilder mentality” is based more on how they train and eat. Most of the bodybuilders or gym addicts you come across are guys who are big and bulky but have very little tone or definition. Everyone might be able to lift 500 pounds or have thighs the size of tree trunks, but they never seem to be able to cut down on body fat enough to reveal muscle. This happens because getting big requires very little discipline. Remember, these guys often get a lot of attention from other men in the gym for their incredible lifting abilities and abnormal size, but they will be overlooked by women at any time. I hear it all the time, women prefer a slim body much more like David Bromstad, Taylor Lautner or Ryan Reynolds any day. What do these three celebrities have in common? Decent amount of muscle but very little body fat.
Avoid being too big, it will ruin your appearance
Bodybuilders always seem to overdo themselves in the weight room. Getting too big to the point of not being able to wear normal clothes or jeans is a nightmare. Big guys look awkward when they try to dress up or even wear regular jeans. Women love style, and they love it even more when a man combines style with a slim, fit body. I’m not trying to hit huge guys or bodybuilders, I’m just trying to help.
Your own crash course to lose weight
Like I said before, if you’ve been lifting for some time, you probably have enough muscle mass. So instead we’re going to focus on getting rid of that unwanted body fat so we can reveal the muscle you worked so hard for. I would first start by saying skip direct leg work. You most likely have enough muscle mass in your legs and glutes than you already need. Having big legs and a huge butt will not give you the GQ look. What I do recommend is spending only about 15-20 minutes of strength training followed by 45-60 minutes of cardio. When I say “cardio”, this does not mean hanging out on the elliptical reading a magazine. I’m talking about high intensity interval training.
Your eating habits will need a makeover
As for eating, this is where a lot of people drop the ball. You do not need to eat 6 to 8 meals a day as I am sure you have been told. People who eat 6 to 8 meals a day almost always consume more calories than they burn, so they never get the definition they want. You also don’t need tons of protein to maintain a slim body. Try to eat 2-3 normal size meals. If you really need to lose fat fast, intermittent fasting is the way to go. Intermittent fasting will create a huge calorie deficit without losing muscle.
Note: If you don’t have access to a gym, you can still get a great body with workouts that consist only of bodyweight exercises like: push-ups, pull-ups, hanging leg raises, etc. Bodyweight workouts and no-gym intervals are a definite trend in Hollywood for very good reasons. Keep in mind that intense cardiovascular exercise and keeping calories low will burn body fat and give you the trim, fit and lean look like David Bromstad in “Color Splash.”
