So I have a character who exercises regularly and eats healthy. I'd like them to look like pic related.
They care about being strong, just enough to stop somebody from backhanding them.
In the story, how many days a week and how many hours a day should they be working out to have this body?
Is it possible to have this body without going to the gym/lifting actual weights?

That's not a good physique
2-3 days of lifting, a good diet, and 2-3 days of cardio would do it

>exercise regularly
Is this bait?
You can get bigger than that by masturbating on 4chan all day. Have him switch arms between sets.

Oh it isn't? I want the character to not look especially impressive. Like as average as someone can look while still being strong.
What would someone look like if they exercised 5-6 days a week, 1-2 hours a day? No access to weights.

You want him to look like he has the body of a 14 year old boy that doesn't lift?

What does he do then? Stretches?

nah man I just don't know shit about this. I just want a character who is strong with a non-threatening body. They exercise but don't have access to weights or a gym. They'd only be able to run or exercise at home.

like, sit ups, push ups, jogging, stuff that doesn't involve equipment.

How about this guy?

>>41592528
That body is very possibly without lifting, maybe for someone with a physical job, especially if he's short.
Otherwise somebody that just does calisthenics a few days a week with decent diet can achieve that.

If you're going to the trouble of describing his exercise and diet regimen and you want him to be powerful but low profile, then just describe his physicality by his behavior or his posture. People will assume while reading that he's scrawny or meek until he does some shit and they go "oh yeah, he lifts 4 days a week and eats like an ox."

Definitely achievable by doing those things.

I love this, this is what I need to hear. Thank you very much.

but don't forget; show, don't tell. focus on the physical act he performs, and go into detail about that. later, add as a side piece "oh yeah, i do powerlifting in my spare time" or whatever it may be in like a casual conversation. that's just what i would do, tho

Wii fit and maybe 20 pushups before bed for that physique.
