Heres Brad Pitt's Troy workout.

[Thail]

You all make me sick.

There are two extremes of people posting here.. there are the 150lb bi-curious gimps who are fascinated by what is a typical male body..

and then there are the sacks that are offended by Brad Pitt having a good body.

The fact is women don't like beef cakes (typically) but they don't like rats either, and what brad has is something in between, it's attractive to a woman so you all have to respect that there are men here that would want that.

However this is bodybuilding.com, it's about getting strong and getting big and spreading the best advice possible and that routine is ****. Many members of this forum could have gotten brad pitt a better look for troy had they been his PT, and that is why some us of get pissed off when a bull**** routine leads newbies in the wrong direction because they're so naive and star struck by his body.

Now here's a fact. All male human bodies look practically the same under the skin and fat. So it's very simple to get brads body, you train using the advice here to a 300 bench / 400 squat / 500 DL and then you cut to 5% bf and hey presto you look pretty damn good and it doesn't even take that long. It's not that impressive.

So phase 1, which is bulking should be followed for four monthes? Phase 2 should be followed for 3 monthes?

thail is another arnold dick sucka, would suck arnold clean off for his routine to get big like an orc from world of warcraft what a nerd.

The "Troy" 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.

The "Fight Club" Workout

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!

Hahaha. The fake "Troy" workout you posted is Arnolds workout just copied and pasted.

[bamboozled123]

When is it you start phase two???

And has anyone actually used this workout program? What did you thing?

[BrettT07]

I think Brad Pitt's body is a good goal for many people to go for. People such as ectomorphs or light mesomorphs. Of course you people that are naturally huge are going to want a bigger guy's build, but for smaller guys that is impractical. At least for a long time, and trying to reach Pitt's body in Troy is a fair enough goal.

It is not my goal, my long term goal is still undecided. I'm just trying to put on weight at the time and I'll cut soon, and I'll keep doing that until I decide what I want. I doubt it will vary much from that though. I do not think I have the capability of being over 200 pounds anytime soon, if ever. Pitt's body in Troy might actually be a good goal for me, but I'm not going to make it my actual goal.

I do believe his build in the movie is aesthetic though. (no homo)

[bango skank]

Does no one care that BP doesn't train his legs. At all.

[bamboozled123]

When is it you start phase two???

And has anyone actually used this workout program? What did you thing?

And how would someone add leg training to the program that is proportional to the rest of the workout.

[In Flames]

Does no one care that BP doesn't train his legs. At all.

Does it matter? It's not like he's going to be in tiny posing trunks on stage competing against other physiques. Do chicks care that he doesn't train his legs? No. I like doing Squats and Lunges, but I'm not going to be a bodybuilder and entering contests. I do it to stay in shape and for the love of working out and feeling good about my self after I've done a grueling workout of Squats and Walking Barbell Lunges.

[ferbie]

**** hell i got belly cramps now from laughing... however i got some points about all this: first, i actually didn't like pitts look in troy, cuz somehow he looked, well, puffy, just like a guy who trained for a movie. NOT like a warrior (of any kind). i think eric bana did a better job of looking like a real antique man of war, let alone all those 300 freaks. and IF this is pitts real program, it's clear why, there's too much high rep work and not any brutal compound work. didn't this PT guy know that front squats can do more for upper back than this sissy seating row ****? or that deadlifts and power cleans blast rear delts 5000% more than... wait i gotta laugh... BENT OVER DB FLIES? if had to train pitt for 7 month, i'd let him do heavy compounds and o-lifts right from the start. take any olympic weightlifter, shred him to 6-8% bf with a tan and you got a movie warrior you're really afraid of... ah and by the way, let's not forget that the best movie physique ever belongs to... SYLVESTER STALLONE.

[bamboozled123]

Has anyone actually tried this program out? What did you think, if you did?

[Defiant1]

Hahaha. The fake "Troy" workout you posted is Arnolds workout just copied and pasted.

yep. lol wtf?

[Defiant1]

To start, Brad’s character for Troy, Achilles, was well built but not overly muscular. He is not built like a bodybuilder. The key here is proportion. Many amateur bodybuilders and weightlifters have big arms and chests and small shoulders and backs.

[bamboozled123]

Defiant1 was that a "yep" to doing the programme? If so can you please tell me what you thought of it? Was it effective?

Ohhh and ruffly how long did it take you to do a days workout with this program, Eg how long was your workout for day 1.

Thanks
Bamboozled

[randomhero97]

If I actually cared about how these celebrities were training for their roles I would like to see how Christian Bale trained for Batman Begins.

[williamsenne]

this is BODYBUILDING.COM, not skinnyguyswithlowbodyfatandsom************.

You are kidding yourself if you think that body building is only bulking up and becoming huge. Everyone has their own set of goals to achieve. Everyone is different and a lot of people would prefer a lean and muscular body over a huge bulky one like a pro bb. Try not to be so close-minded.

definition of bodybuilding from dictionary.com:

bod?y?build?ing
1.) the act or practice of exercising, lifting weights, etc., so as to develop the muscles of the body.
2.) The process of developing the musculature of the body through specific types of diet and physical exercise, such as weightlifting, especially for competitive exhibition.
3.) exercise that builds muscles through tension

[733guy]

Does no one care that BP doesn't train his legs. At all.

i just watched fight club and caught a glimpse of his calf muscles. they were actually bigger than what you would expect.

[sjrutherford]

thats a solid workout plan. brad pitt does a good job getting in shape for movies, but man crushes?....come on guys.

[bamboozled123]

Has anyone actually done this workout? What did they think?

Or

what effect do you think this workout would have on a 19yo medium built guy, of average weight??

thanks

[Derrick101]

I dunno but I think this looks more like a real workout tahn the starting thread. There are more sets, but dunno about the legs..Also, I know he had to be working with heavy weights and forced reps to gain size.

Well guys I'm am giving it a shot I don't know if anyone will see this as it is a very old thread but I will let you know how it turns out in about 7 months. The only thing I will not be doing is eating perfectly but I will try.

[Crazybear]

How about we find Matthew Mcconaughey's workout and start critiqueing it. And find out whos homo for him.

Or we could all be men and lift like men to look like strong men pretty or not?

[vipergq]

=We will completely avoid things like squats, deadlifts, and bench press. These will add mass in all the wrong places if you are going for Pitt?€™s look.

This line killed the legitimacy of this whole article....

[bloodsugar]

How about we find Matthew Mcconaughey's workout and start critiqueing it. And find out whos homo for him.

Or we could all be men and lift like men to look like strong men pretty or not?

So you are homo for big strong men..................ooooh, sexy!

[timm0n]

Is this leagal? No BS? Should I follow it?

[RyRob813]

For how many peopple joke about Pitt cause hes not a "beast", who IS going to be a BEAST? I think his body is perfect. I would love to get my body like his. Not everyone is going to be some huge powerlifter or 280lb bodybuilder, nor do alot of guys want to be. Some people just want to have a nice body with some muscle on them like Pitt in Troy and be perfectly satisfied. So I think a routine like this is perfect for someone who just wants a decent body but stay lean. I mean you'd have to throw in some Squats and Deadlifts somewhere in there.

Amen brother
