TROY Workout
Submitted by dylan on Sun, 08/31/2008 - 16:36.The epic workout
In order for Brad Pitt to get ready for the role in the movie Troy, He dropped cigarettes and sharply cut back on beer and chips, although he did allow himself the occasional treat: McFlurry shakes from McDonald’s, “though it was more for a little taste of home, you know, a little Americana.”
Brad used a low-carb, high-protein diet during the training for his role. Physically, Pitt prepared for the role with a year of intense training. “The first three months were daunting and not fun at all.” His days included two to three hours in the gym, two additional hours of sword work and four high-protein, low-carb meals. As a result, he gained about 10 pounds of brawn.
Look like Tyler Durdan (Fight Club)
Submitted by dylan on Sun, 08/31/2008 - 16:27.Look like Tyler Durden
In order to get that muscular and shredded look for the movie Fight Club; Brad used an intense workout routine for amazing results. His workout was characterized by focusing on one muscle group up each day, then giving it the rest of the week to recover. This is very beneficial for adding muscle mass fast, because muscles grow during rest periods and not during the actual time in the gym.
Finally, at the end of the week, he finished off with a good cardio workout. This put his body in fat-burning mode, which served to shed any extra padding that covered his muscles, giving him that chiseled look.
Here are the exercises that made up his workout. He performed 3 sets, taking approximately 60 seconds to rest between each set. Also, he used a weight that is challenging enough that to complete 15 reps (with the exception of pushups and pullups), but be fatigued on the last rep. Remember, proper form is a must!
Bigger Arms faster!
Submitted by justin on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 21:36.Many Men today wish to achieve "Bigger" arms, and thus they believe they must work their biceps like crazy!.... Well I hate to tell you that working your biceps will do little to improve your arm's mass & size.
Working the Triceps are the best way to build up your arms fast.
How will triceps enhance your arms?
1) They help support your biceps.
2) They are made up of 3 different muscles, so your now packing on some more meat.
3) They look really good!
So what's a good routine for triceps?
Biceps Workout
Submitted by justin on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 21:58.Biceps can help everyone in many ways. They don't only look good but they can increase your strength dramatically as well.
The best way to build biceps are not heavy weights...an often mistake by many beginning body builders. The best way to build your biceps are to use comfortable weights. What this means is that your not using other muscles to help lift your weight. Your biceps are solely lifting they wait by itself.
