Brad Pitt: Workout & Body [Merged Threads]

I don't see the issue...

We all have our individual goals. Shadowfox is interested in having the physique of Brad Pitt in Fight Club... why not? It's a nice physique. It isn't what I want but it certainly looks good.

Stop crying because this guy doesn't wanna be the next Cutler.

The issue is that he's not prepared to do the necessaries. Eating clean and regular is VITAL if you want a Pittesque physique. It's not hard to achieve, you just need to be consistent or 6-18 months depending on how fat you currently are. Shadowfox could achieve the look in a year or less, but if he's not prepared to do the most basic thing (work out and eat), he won't get there. It's not a case of being consistent for a week, it's the whole year.

For the record, there are a slew of guys I know who are at school, have a job on top of that, have a social life AND find the time to eat properly and work out. and they're just ordinary guys. it's possible - willpower is the deciding factor.

Thanks for the 'advice' ,if i was actually given any. Only shaunuk gave me the response i wanted.

the best advice isn't always the advice you want

 

[shaunuk]

I can understand why a guy would want physique like Tyler Durden's (Brad Pitt), even though he is not particularly muscular. We know that we don't all have the same goals and tastes - each to their own

But, shadow, you'll still have to put quite a bit of effort into developing a physique like this, and a great deal of that effort is actually eating, rather than sweat spilt whilst training in the gym. Search for Warboss Alex's Idiot's Guide to Growth for nutritional and training information.

Also search for Warboss Alex's 'losing fat whilst gaining muscle' type threads. If you lost some body fat, and also gained some muscle at the same time, as others have said, you can achieve that physique

The thing is shadowfox stated in the initial post that he wanted a body type like Brad Pitt because he couldn't get big. He made it sound like he was willing to settle for something less than he wanted. At least that's how it sounded like to me.

I hear his troy physique was a lot better. Why not aim for that?

Brad Pitts Workout For Fight Club

Someone here awhile back wondered or wanted the workout that Brad Pitt used in getting in shape for the movie Fight Club. Well, here it is, it's not my cup of tea as it doesn't consist of the big lifts like deads and barbell squats.

15-20-25 reps is not my idea of a mass builder.

Which is why Brad Pitt had no mass on him in fight club.

 

[Fred Da Head]

Might as well try the Christian Bale workout for the Projectionist or whatever the hell that movie was... he was cut as hell!!!!!1111exclamationmark!!!1

Seriously though, Brad Pitt had zero mass; he just had low BF.

 

[Warboss Alex]

Yeah, I dunno about that workout. 15-20-25 reps is not my idea of a mass builder, but hey...if it worked for Brad Pitt I may give it a shot.

1. he had no mass on him.

2. what worked for one guy will not work for another.

3. the diet from that link is ****.

4. to achieve the brad pitt look, try an all-out ketogenic diet. don't 'expect to keep any mass though.

 

[Kwello]

Mass isn't really all that sexy to lots of women to be honest. These days they seem to favor the look that a typical hunter would have had several thousand years ago. Not much mass, cut as hell and very agile looking.

Personally I go for a look more like Pitt had in Troy. Decent mass and very cut.

 

[Quiksilver]

dude, he had 0 muscle in that picture.

If you truely want that, focus 80% on diet, 15% on cardio, and 5% on lifting.

The only thing you can really shout about in that picture is his high metabolism combined with the Dietition and Trainer he employed to work with him 24/7 for afew months before the movie.

 

[cuzza]

Arms and delts have been worked on, apart from that no muscle. Delts look good though, giving impression of size.

I read a trainers site who's trained a few actors for roles where they need to look big. He said if he got them like a month before he didn't have a hope in hell of adding mass, so all he did was got them looking cut and worked on their arms and delts completely and that was enough to give the impression of size.

 

[Warboss Alex]

you shouldn't be working out for women.. be happy with your mass (or lack of it) and people will be happy with you.

Just for the record, I don't think this is the actual workout or diet that Brad Pitt used. Based on the way the article was worded, it sounded like this is what the author himself would recommend to get the Brad Pitt physique.

 

[Kwello]

I've said before how I workout because I love anatomy and the human body. I do it for myself completely.

However lots of guys do it to look good for the women, so I just offered up some advice based on what my friends (girls that is) think of guys. Lots of guys also do it to be more stylish... the thin athletic look is much more in style now than a bulky look.

us powerlifters have never been in fashion.

our time will come!

 

[LoneSilver]

Correct.

Nah in the 70's it was a pretty cool look to have. Athletic was as well (always has been, it's encoded into our DNA), but big guys were stylin too.

 

[insidious]

LOL amen to that.

All this talk about being in fashion and I thought, haven't women always preferred the lean, athletic look?

I've been around longer than a lot of you guys, and I can never remember a time when the majority of women salivated over beefcakes.
