HOW TO BUILD A BODY LIKE CRISTIANO RONALDO:
Love Cristiano Ronaldo or hate him, you can't deny that the four-time Ballon d'Or winner is in pretty good shape.
Real chest gains:
Let's start from the top. CR7 has got a chest and a pair of boulders shoulder boulders shoulders. The Rock would be proud of, but it doesn't come easy. Your pecs, for example, are notoriously difficult muscles to build, and it takes a while to develop enough power to lift heavy weights to create big changes.
The bench press is a classic move and a true test of upper-body strength. But it's not the only exercise that will help build boobs of steel. And remember, your back muscles are just as important. A badly conditioned back limit how hard you can push from the front.
Yes, he's a little arrogant and has a face you kind of want to punch, but credit where is due — the greatest footballer on earth, arguably, has a body most gym bros would give up their tub of protein for. Plus, he earns upwards of £350,000 a week, dates supermodels.
Nowadays, the life of a professional footballer is a healthy one. With sport science taking over, footballers now know what to eat, when to eat and, most importantly, what not to eat. Not sure what you should be feeding your body?
It's also important to work out. If you want to torch fat quicker than a Cristiano Ronaldo free kick, then you need to get in the squat rack and stay there. Remember, fat doesn't discriminate. If you're burning calories, the fat *will *start to melt. Compound moves, such as squats and dead lifts use entire muscle groups and require huge amounts of energy. The more energy you use, the more calories you burn. It's as simple as that.
If you want big bis then you need to work on your tris. And who’s that? Well, your tris actually make up 60% of your arm's muscle mass — so those bicep curls can wait for now.

Some time ago, CR7 unviels his undergarments collection at an event. There he also mentioned 15 Gems by which he keeps himself fit and up to the mark. Some are as follows:
Learn to train your mind as well as your body. Mental strength is just as important as physical strength and will help you achieve your goals.
Be disciplined. Keeping yourself motivated and sticking to your routine is key. For me, there is no room for easing off so I have to be strict.
Set yourself goals. It will help to keep you focused and work towards something.
Working with a training partner is a good way to add a bit of competitiveness and help push yourself. If you train with someone who is a similar level to you then you will help push each other.
Proper sleep is really important for getting the most out of training. I go to bed early and get up early, especially before matches. Sleep helps muscles recover which is really important.
Warming up properly prevents injury. In training we do a few laps of the pitch, stretching and cardio warm up exercises. Make sure you do something similar in your training, even if it is jogging to the gym or a warm up on the treadmill or bicycle.
Hope it helped!
