Ryan Reynolds Workout for Blade Trinity

So it wasn't like Ryan was fat or extremely out of shape when he began training for Blade Trinity. He was at 11% body fat, which is lower than most people. In Van Wilder you can tell that he eats well and maintains a slim physique, he was just lacking muscle density.

First of all Ryan put on 20 pounds of solid muscle in about 6 months of preparation

There is something crucial here you have to understand. The first time someone hits the weights hard and eat right, they will easily put on muscle. There is a one-time "window of opportunity" to gain muscle at a rapid pace. Most men do this in their late teens or early 20's, Ryan simply did this a little later than most...at the age of 26.

Ryan Did a One-Body-Part-Per-Day Blitz to Gain Mass

Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Back
Day 3: Shoulders
Day 4: Legs

Workout Details: He mixed in arm training depending upon how blitz they got during the workout. Workouts were 3 hours...Reps were in the 8-12 range. He trained for 2-3 hours at a time, 6 days per week.

My Comments: There is nothing even remotely creative or efficient about Ryan Reynold's workout! True...he did get in great shape for his role in Blade Trinity, but my belief is he could have done so without killing himself in the gym. The "2-3 hours-per-day & 6 days-per-week" mentality is WAY out-dated!

Here is how Ryan dieted to get prepared for Blade Trinity:

1. Ate 6 Small meals per day.
2. Didn't worry about restricting carbs (for the most part)
3. Did not eat carbs after 8 pm, but a protein snack if he was hungry.
4. Always include protein and with his carbs to make sure there wasn't an insulin spike.
5. Watched his daily calorie intake.
6. Used creatine as his main supplement.

My comments: Again, some of the thinking behind his diet is pretty "old school". The biggest thing that has been proven as a myth is the fact that you need to eat every few hours to gain muscle. Several studies from 2007-2009 have shown that the body increases its production of HGH in a fasted state. This preserves muscle mass while attacking body fat.

If Ryan would have applied some of the advanced strategies I have outlined in my free guide he would not have had to spend so much time in the gym to get ripped.

He was smart on including creatine, as it is the only (legal) supplement proven to build muscle above and beyond a good diet and workout routine. He also was smart to keep insulin levels stable, as the body cannot burn fat when insulin levels are too high.

Again...I cover some of the more advanced strategies in my FREE Report.

Obviously, what Ryan accomplished was outstanding...it just could have been done with much time in the gym. He could have incorporated a few HGH boosting strategies which would involve periods of strategic fasts...Allowing him to get ripped with much less effort!
