Zyzz’s Aesthetic Workout & Diet Plan (Intense!)

By

Zyzz aesthetic workout image

Zyzz became an internet phenomenon back in 2010 in forums like 4chan and bodybuilding.com, flooding talk spaces with photos of his skater hair, tattoos, and absolutely ripped physique.

Notorious for his untamed ego, desire to catch the female eye, and hope to create envious forum-goers, Zyzz paired his buff photos with taunts like “u jelly?”

His cult-like following was a bizarre mix of coming-of-age Millennials and amateur bodybuilders envious of the legend’s impressive build, quite surprising for a guy in his late teens and early 20s.

(Up until then, the “faces” of bodybuilding were men in their 30s and 40s.)

Now ten years later, we’re taking a look at Zyzz’s aesthetic workout and diet plan that has since inspired many young guys to join the gym and pursue amateur bodybuilding.

Warning: it’s intense!

Here are 7 effective tips to build a visually aesthetic body.

Let’s be honest. Most of us start working out because we want to build a body that looks good. We want big arms, a thick chest, and six-pack abs that make heads turn. We want that enviable v-shape that makes the ladies love us and the guys want to be us. Sure, getting healthy is a nice bonus, but for most of us, exercise is all about aesthetics.

An “aesthetic body type” is one that is built for visual appeal. It’s not about getting big and bulky like the guys you see on stage at a bodybuilding show or building strength and endurance for athletic performance.

An aesthetic body is a dense, hard, and well-defined natural physique with broad shoulders, a square masculine chest, rock hard arms, a slim waist, and athletic legs with minimal body fat. Easier said than done, right? Here are seven real aesthetic body tips for a visual impact physique.
