Hopefully I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here. In my defense, I tried searching for fitness related threads before creating my own and I didn't find any that were current. The reason I wanted to create this thread was for people to share their progress in regards to getting in shape for their suit/costume. A little bit about me. I have always been quite obsessed with Spider-Man. As a child those were the only comics I would buy. So when they finally started putting out movies, needless to say I was pretty stoked. I remember how impressed I was with the physique of Toby Maguire for the Spider-Man movies. Andrew Garfield also dons a pretty impressive physique in the "Amazing" series. I myself am working towards the build of Spidey in the comics. I'm a certified Personal Trainer so observing and picking apart Spidey's physique was just all part of what I already do on a daily basis. He was built very much like a sprinter. He has round shoulders, muscular arms, small waist, V-shaped torso, muscular quads and calves. I myself have been going through a series of workouts that place emphasis on those muscles. So far I am pretty happy with my progress. In just a few months, I have put on about 10 pounds (172-183) and added some good size to my chest, shoulders, arms, back, and legs. Downside of bulking is I'm not as lean as I once was. The type of workout I have been doing is a 4 day a week split where I do Upper Body and Lower Body twice a week. Most of my lifts revolve around compound movements. Only isolation exercises I do are for my arms and calves. I tried uploading the photo that I am basing my physique off of, as well as my progress so far but I couldn't get it to work. I will also be (trying to) post photos of my build as I complete it too. I hope to see/hear from many more people in regards to their progress with their own workouts. I am also more than willing to share the workout that I have been doing or any other fitness tips. If you are interested in it, just PM me.
