All right let me just ask, who has the most coveted body in the world, if you could be anyone, who would it be? The correct answer, of course, is Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
Well there is a simple routine to follow if you want to look like the hardcore Brad from Fight Club. The first day is going to consist of your pectoral workouts.
Start with 25 pushups, do them slow with proper form. When you do your exercises methodically with constant for you actually take a lot more out of them.
Next you are going to work through some pectoral pumping machines, do fifteen reps of the chest press, the incline and then the peck deck (fly machine). You should work at a weight were you can do 15 reps and no more.
If you can do more than fifteen reps you are going to want to increase the weight, and remember proper form is a necessity. The second day consisted of back exercises: do five pull ups, then fifteen reps on the seated row, lat pulldowns and t bar rows.
Next we move to shoulder exercises. Do the Arnold dumbbell press, then lateral and frontal raises.
Remember fifteen reps of each. And keep proper form throughout the routine.
For the fourth day we will work our triceps. do EZ cable curls, hammer curls, triceps pushdowns and then the curl machine.
The fifth day should be spent on cardio training. Do fifteen minutes of 75 percent max heart rate.
This is easily determined by measuring your heart rate on those fancy new treadmills that are available everywhere. This is the part where you are going to work off the fat; one of the major reasons Brad looks so great in this movie is because he has nearly 0 percent body fat.
How did he get such a low percentage of body fat, well it was his diet. Not only do you have to workout every day to achieve that look, but you have to follow a rigorous diet plan.
Brad would eat six small meals every day, each meal consisted of a good portion of protein. Though he wouldn't take any supplement except sometimes whey protein.
His breakfast was six eggs with oatmeal. Oatmeal has some very interesting probiotics that help with the metabolism.
For a mid-day snack he would eat tinned tuna in pita bread. His lunch was two chicken breasts, rice and green vegies; veggies are very low in calories, so feel free to eat a bit.
Pre workout snack: protein shake with a banana. His post workout snack was the same thing.
For dinner he would eat a grilled fish, some rice, with a side of vegies and a salad. For a bedtime snack he would eat some low-fat cottage cheese.
