Wittemberg Stanley Adolf

Bodybuilder, Model

Wittemberg Adolf Stanley was an ordinary guy in college, until one day a girl said she’d never date a guy that was as skinny him. This fired Wittemberg up to step into the gym the very same day and change his body forever.

Working hard in the gym for hours, weeks, and months. He eventually became the world class winner of the WBFF Pro Muscle Model competition in 2014 and 2015 held in Las Vegas. He continues to strive towards perfection to this day.

Since his last show in 2014, Wittemberg added more size and definition to his already awesome frame to provide more balance and broaden his wide shoulder. His small waist and sweeping thighs are all aesthetic details that legends are made of.

With a successful career secured as one of the best Muscle Model winners, he’s sure to be competing for years to come.

“The day was March 1, 2007. I was sitting in Biochemistry class and a girl mentioned she would never date a guy as skinny as I was. Later that day, yours truly – all 141 lbs of him – paid his first visit to the gym. Let’s face it. Women love muscles and I wanted to get their attention.”

“Once I was at the gym that day, I was lucky enough to meet a physical education professor who knew his stuff and the rest, as they say is history.”

Training

Wittenberg’s training routine has been built up over the years to what is now an intensive and grueling workout. He trains 5-6 days a week while focusing on all major muscle groups. As you can see from his workout below, there are large compound movements in his program, along with detailed work to make sure he’s creating the complete package.

For anyone looking to start training, there are three exercises that Wittemburg will always recommend as his personal favorites. These are;

1. Front Squat: “Front squats are easier on your back and knees and engages the core. They also help build amazing mass in your legs.”
2. Wide Grip Pull Ups: “This is my favorite back exercise as it really targets my lats and helps give my physique that V look.”
3. Dips: “Essential to any upper body workout and a must for good chest development.”
