Red face Brad Pitts workout for Fight Club?

Did everyone here see Fight Club. The movie kicks ass but anyway....what I wondered was what program and diet Pitt followed to get as buff as he was(in Snatch too). Some people have said that it is natural but there is no F'n way. What type of regimen would one follow?

I have heard that he uses the Zone diet. Is that a good one? Diets are pretty easy to follow for me in the summer but when I go back up to college my diets fall apart becuase the dorm food is so fatty.

I think he is geneticly a lean person, all the movies I seen him in, he's always been very lean.
I'm sure we all have friends that don't watch what they eat, don't workout regularly that always seem to be lean and have a 6 pack. Bastards

Yup.
I'm sure Mr. Pitt works out
but he is definitely a gentically gifted person.
Fast metabolism and always lean.
He could probably become a freaky huge monster
with ease if he really wanted too.
As for the diet.
I'm sure he eats out alot (Jennifer Aniston)

Other than being lean, I did not see anything impressive about his physique.

I agree with STB, he is probably genetically lean/skinny.

I dunno, he's really not that big in the shoulders or anywhere, i'm sure with a good trainer he could be but i don't think he's got it in him. I'm sure your right about the eating out thing, lucky bastard.

The guy stayed in more or less competition shape for the entire duration of shooting for that film.

I say methamphetamines, personally...

Yeah, it's a first i'm sure

Did you know Will Smith "naturally" packed on all that muscle in like 30 days for "Ali"?

Oh yeah, personal trainers really know how to do these things...

Remember what the camera can do for your apearance! He is really not that big. He is just very lean and the camera makes him look extremely lean...

My youngest brother is like that, lean and toned year round, and somehow has a tan as well.

Yeah but (will smith) can also afford the best AS that money can buy to and the right people to help him with it.

I truly beleive that AS can be used safely under the proper supervision so I wouldn't be at all suprised that he did use it.

If Will Smith did use AS he got Robbed ! he didn't look impressive at all nor did he look like 230, that movie sucked anyway...

Interesting how people are always accusing stars of using AS. I'm not saying they do or they don't but there is much to be said about natural lifting.

No kidding, he wasn't as skinny as usual but didn't bring to mind Ali really for me.

Yes, you're damn right there is. Gopro is testament to that, but to pack on that amount of muscle in such a short space of time is unreal. Albeit, Smith wasn't huge, but he did add an amount of muscle in such a space of time that the body simply can not do naturally.

And by the way, i don't think Brad Pitt needed AAS to get like he was in fight club, but i do think he used something to keep himself looking his best - ie some sort of diuretics etc..

You have to admit someone that has been about the same size through his acting carrear, all of a sudden puts on like 30-50lb and still keeps it on (he still looks large in MIB2) seems like it could go that way to me.
I don't know and it doesn't really matter if he did or not.

I've seen mesomorphs larger than him, and in similar shape. Usually I see short people like that though, odd(?)

You think that he is a "mesomorph" body type? I disagree, I call that a "ectomorph". (meaning naturally skinny)
