    Does David Beckham Possess An Impressive Physique?

    A look at the type of physique soccer star David Beckham has. Does he need more muscle? Is his body shape impressive?

    David Beckham is one of the most reknowned soccer players in the world. But something else that Beckham is well known for is flaunting his physique in underwear commercials. David Beckham does not have a very muscular body, but many women love his appearance. Something that lots of men do not realize is that you do not have to be swollen with muscles popping out of your clothes to impress women. In fact, many women agree that guys with too much muscles like professional bodybuilders do not look very attractive to them.

    How Much Muscle Mass Do You Need To Look Atrractive?

    We all know that being really skinny as a guy is not an appropriate look. Men need some muscle mass on their body in order to look fit, strong and healthy. However, you do not need a large amount of muscle to look impressive. An excessive amount of muscle mass may just ruin your appearance. The best approach for building an attractive male physique is to gain a moderate amount of lean muscle and

    maintain a very low body fat percentage to look defined and toned.

    Although David Beckham performs weight training as part of his fitness routine, he does not focus a lot on building muscle mass. Instead, Beckham puts a lot of effort into keeping his body body fat percentage at a very low level. This, combined with the moderate muscle size he has, creates a nice toned physique that does in fact look impressive - at least to women.

    The Misperception Of Some Men

    There are a lot of men who would look at David Beckham's physique and say that he is too skinny to be considered a fitness Icon or cannot understand why he gets crazy attention from women. These are the guys who possess meat-head mentally. Therefore, they falsely believe that unless you have big muscles, as a man, your physique cannot look impressive. But in reality, the opposite is true. Women love the lean, tone look over the bulky, bodybuilder look.

    David Beckham isn't buffed and super ripped but he does have a bit of muscle which is the right amount for someone who plays soccer. His low body fat percentage gives his body a nice toned appearance which comes as a result of his soccer training and controlled eating.

    You see, soccer training is very effective for burning body fat. David Beckham's training includes high intensity sprint workouts which is also what basically happens on the pitch during games. This is the reason most soccer players are so lean. They're always running fast with short rest periods. This is the ideal cardio workout for burning fat rapidly without losing muscle.

    Focus on Getting Lean, Not Building Massive Muscle

    If you want a body like David Beckham the best approach is to focus on burning fat while preserving muscle. If you realize that you are too skinny and need some muscle mass, then work towards building muscle in the right places to create an impressive look. Building muscle and losing fat involves weight training, cardio and nutrition. However, it's very important to use a program that is properly designed to give you the exact lean and toned appearance that you want.
