(Ryan Reynalds) from Blade Trinity

[xjboy22x]

Did any of you guys watch BLADE TRINITY? Did you notice how much of a great physique Ryan Reynolds had. Ryan Reynolds played HANNIBAL for those that didnt know. Anyways, i just found out what his workout and diet were, so i thought i'd just post it here for those who are curious. Ill also try to get a pic just in case for those who havent seen the movie yet. I copied and pasted from his own personal website, so here it is.


while eating a protein carb mix every 2 hours all day, i'd wind up having about 8 - 10 "tiny" meals instead of 3 big meals over the course of a day. no carbs at night, but plenty during the day. (the "no carbs ever" fad is bull**** in my opinion. and a great way to turn into a cranky ****er nobody wants to be around) this kind of diet kept my blood sugar even and gave me the requisite energy needed for the physicality of the role...

my trainer (and Jesse Biel's) was a guy named Darren Chapman. he's one of the most inspiring individuals i've ever met. a member of the UK's olympic bobsled team, he's as adept at the nutritional training as he is the physical training. also, a great guy that doesn't mind me calling him every swear word ever heard in any language. i think i may have even called him a 'bastard' in elvish. trainers are used to it. he showed me how important the process of visualization is. visualizing the transformation i had to make--i believe was key to making it happen. with this information, i began training as though preparing for the olympics...

workouts were about 2-3 hours. generally starting off with around 500 - 1000 sit-ups. then heavy weights for bulk. i'm a pretty scrawny guy so we cut cardio entirely and just focused on bulking up. weight training involved a variety of excercises too numerous to mention at reps of about 8-12, for 6 days a week. after the first week i was longing for the sweet release of death, but soon enough got really into it.

the main thing i learned about this whole process is how important food is. transforming your body quickly is a genetic ability, but can also be traumatic. eating properly is 80% of the equation. most people think it's the other way around...

Yeah he was on the cover of Men's Health this past month. They only printed a one page article about him. It showed his diet and things of that sort. He has come a long way from "2 guys, a girl, and a pizza shop".

I crack up whenever I see that guy...he is Van Wilder.

[Hannainnc]

Oh forgot to add one thing...he's hot too.

BIG BUMP on that...classic movie

He has came along way from then, one day I will look like that *sigh*

[meera]

Have to agree....WOW!

[xjboy22x]

Did you guys notice from his routine that he did no cardio at all? Is it possible to be so lean like he is and cardio had nothing to do with it? Must Be his 80% diet.

Well, depending on your diet and how you are lifting(ie supersetting, etc) you can turn lifting into a form of cardio. Also, if you spend that much time working out as he says he did, with limited calorie diet you would lean out much in the same way.

notice the extremely small arm? not to mention the forearm?

can't even imagine his legs since hollywood glorifies the manly and atheltic physique of the upper body

[aikurushii]

I think he is just lean.. won't win bb competitions though.. He looks ectomorphic, that's prolly why he didn't need much cardio.

[Dougler]

Ryan Reynolds is literally my dream physique. I wish to have that exact body, but with my face. Some day..........

[tryinhard]

he is dating alanis morrisete, and is coming out in the new movie about the amityville horor.. But i like him as an actor.. he is pretty cut but i want the Tom Jane punisher body

[Dougler]

Ohhhhhhh the punisher body was good too. Not too big, but definately big enough to hear gasps upon shirt removal!

thats because they are not going to print all the meds he took to get into that shape in that amount of time in the pages of men's health...

My thoughts exactly. I remember reading somewhere that he got down to 3 or 4 percent bodyfat and added 15 pounds of lean muscle to his body in a few months......sounds like he was on a "hollywood diet" of the supplemental variety. Either way though, it's still impressive to go from Van Wilder to Van Ripped in that short of a span. I wonder if he'll maintain the stud physique now that the movie is over.

[puckman2001]

i saw all the stuff he takes, very possible, espically being so thin to looked ripped, also guys he's an actor, it's his job so i'm sure he has more time and puts more effort and moeny into changing his physique fast

he dates alanis morisette....... now thats cool

Nah...that just shows that if you are ugly, rich, and will "go down on him in a theatre" that you can score the hot dude.
