I'll tell you this - I was dating a latino woman last summer who was like that woman in the picture except with much wider hips/bigger butt (smaller chest ) and the amount of men on the streets of Boston (and in cars driving by) who blatantly stared or made comments was ridiculous.

They might be responding to this: Waist-hip ratio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Well, I think that's just cool. You made my day!

I agree with you about the shredded look. I don't really like it on guys either. I was looking at some pictures of female bodybuilders who were shredded and eew, they looked like they didn't have any skin over the muscles! I think some fat layer is a nice thing. Plus when I see the shredded look, it makes me think they're probably grouchy.

black guys tend to like thicker women. Just look at any rap or RnB video as evidence.

In Brazil, the ideal look is definitely not skinny! It's a type called a gostosa, which is thick muscular thighs, a big bunda, flat stomach, and small perky breasts.

She is one of the most sought after people in Brazil:

Here's another ideal example:

Daniel Piza - Musas?

I'm already thick, typical black girl with big booty so that's not a problem. But this seems pretty tricky. I may need to initially loose some weight, just not too much. Or I may need to just start lifting weights. I don't know guys, let's put our heads together.

I know some people would say that it's unrealistic to expect to look like this, as this may be rare in Brazil, but we're not small thinkers here. We're living the best lives possible, we're hard workers, and the sky's the limit!

Oh! that pic was awesome! that must be a lot of disciplined!

She has a high bodyfat %, since she's young it doesn't sag. I also the beginnings of cellulite on her thighs.

If you want to look like that you need to workout, and hard. In addition, you'll have to eat a lot as well, a diet high in protein and fat, and lower in carbs (to reduce belly fat). I recommend a 40/40/20 % split (40% of your calories from protein, 40% from fat and 20% from carbs).

I'd construct a workout program like this:

Monday: Legs + abs
Tuesday: Back/Triceps + abs
Wednesday: Thursday: Legs + abs
Thursday: Chest/Biceps + abs
Friday: Legs + Shoulders + abs

Do 3 sets of 12 reps x 10 exercises on each day.

I'm a personal trainer, and cannot guarantee this program without looking at you and monitoring your progress. I'd try the above for a month, then contact me through my site.

On a personal note though...do you really want to look like that? Her legs are huge!

That post was so helpful, all the way until the judgmental bit at the end.

The poster has gone to the trouble of posting two pics of what she finds appealing and suitable for her body, she has clearly expressed that's what she's aiming for... and your comment is just telling her what she finds attractive is somehow wrong.

[Kasha]

Never said it was wrong, just asked her to think twice about it because as I stated earlier her body fat % is high, and she is beginning to show cellulite.

Body trends come and go, why should she change herself and put herself at risk? Getting rid of excess muscle and fat is extremely difficult. It's only my duty as a professional to share my opinion.

[runningbird]

I'm an american and I think that top Brazillian's look is much hotter than our standard. But I agree: health first.

[Kasha]

Her quadriceps look out of balance with her hamstrings (back of the leg). This has the effect of putting strain on the front-side part of the knee and the tendons that support it. She must spend lots of time lifting really really heavy on the leg extension machine.

Muscle is so tough to get rid of, trust me. I biked for years and build up my quads and years later I still got that definition despite crash dieting.

I just wish people would accept their bodies for what they are and just work on developing real-world strength and flexibility. This means recognizing that are bodies are functional, and making them efficient through diet and exercise. That, I think, should be the real goal.

[CroMagna]

Kasha, thanks so much for the advice. Indiana thank you also. Thanks everyone.

I will think twice because suppose I don't even live in Brazil, suppose I come back after a year? I need to reflect on how I want to look and not look at it from the perspective of the society I live in.

[KtotheB]

Just wanted to say thanks for posting these pics!

I don't have any advice on how to achieve this body but it was just so inspiring to see a female body being admired that isn't a stick.

This sounds like making excuses to me. If you want to lose weight you should go ahead.

All this stuff about big muscly women is just dampening your desire to take action.

My suggestion isn't very sexy but it cuts out all the BS: aim to be as healthy and fit as possible. Healthy and fit = attractive and always will be. It crosses all cultural boundaries.

[Bcowan]

I think men like thicker women more than skinny. At least it seems to a big problembe getting that way. I've always heard men talk about how curvier women are hotter and skinny women are sick. Maybe that's just the men I'm around, but they always tell me to put on weight and i'm not that small. I mean I am but I have some problem areas that need some work. My thighs, butt, and lower back are a big problem, but I just want to tone them up, not lose them.

I woud just say, do what you want, in the safest, healthiest way possible, because whoever you end up with is going to love you however you are. No matter what the fad is at the time. Good luck hun.

[lifeforce]

Join a powerlifting gym for two years and focus on getting your front squat, back squat and conventional deadlift extremely strong. Those movments train about 75% of all muscles in the body. Then do spinning type cardio and eat a ketogenic diet to burn bodyfat while getting a greate tan.

[Danyelle]

I just want to suggest maybe looking at your body realistically before trying to emulate someone else's body. Maybe that body type is attainable for you, and maybe it's not. Also, perhaps look into why you want that specific body type. What about your life will change once you look like her, and why can't it change right now?

I'd also suggest trying to be the healthiest, fittest, bestest YOU versus a "not-her"

Good luck.

And to really answer your question, I'd say you def need cardio and weight lifting. Lots of heavy lifting lower body work. You may want to change your diet as well, maybe less carbs, def more protein and try to keep it lean.

You could probably look like her in a couple months of hard work, but how long do think you'll be able to keep that up, living in someone's else shadow? It's a great story for the dinner party, but it's not really something you'd pass on to your children, is it? You have your whole life ahead of you. Just give your body what it needs and it'll reward you exponentially.

By all means exercise and eat the rights foods, but create your own beauty. Be alittle original and develop your own look. I'm pretty sure the guys won't mind.

Ditto, I'm for example one of those guys who don't like the types of girls you mentioned. I am more into skinny girls, so don't think that if you don't look like that girl it will be the end of the world.
