Just need some help, trying to obtain a muscular bearish physique, I am a little chubby, don't mind being a cub, just need to get bigger.
wyrln saidCompound movements involve at least two joints like squats, rows, presses or pullups. Don't waste your time with curls, extensions, raises or flys. (Bicep curls are allowed, but they really are extra). Although deadlifts just affect the hips, they are great for adding thickness to your entire body and giving you a cute butt.
These exercises absolutely require warm-up sets. I learned that the hard way, again, a couple weeks ago.
Blackguy4you saidis there sculpting involved? Don't you just get fat and hairy?

dean_pdx saidMy observations at the gym lead me to believe that in order to obtain what I think of as a "bear" physique, one should load up as many 45 pound weights as possible, then throw your body weight to lift the load very quickly, using momentum to move the weights a few times -- and then proceed to another lifting station, leaving the 45 pound weights for someone else to put away.
The problem is, what I think of as a "bear" physique may not be a widely accepted definition, and although I could not find any scholarly articles on the subject of "bear" culture, there is an entry in Wikipedia. It states that "Some are heavy-set; some project an image of working-class masculinity in their grooming and appearance, though neither of these are requirements or unique indicators . . . and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear."
