When preparing for Blade Trinity (2004), Ryan Reynolds worked to get flat-out “ripped”. If you’ve seen him playing the title character in “Van Wilder”, or during his days as Berg on “Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place”, you’d scarcely believe it was the same person. Lots of fans are curious about what he did to go from skinny to hunky and muscular for the Blade Trinity role.
Though many Hollywood actors have to stay in great shape for a movie role, few have achieved the advanced level of conditioning that Reynolds did while preparing for his part. A few others are worthy of note, for example Daniel Criag for James Bond; Hugh Jackman for his role in Xmen, Brad Pitt in Fight Club and Taylor Lautner in New Moon.
Here’s Ryan Reynolds Workout for Blade Trinity in Greater Detail
First of all, Ryan wasn’t at all in bad shape when he underwent training for the film. He had 11% body fat which is lower than average for most. While in his Can Wilder role, you can see that he was naturally slim, but lacking in some muscle definition.
Ryan was able to build 20 pounds of muscle in five months.
Now, keep this in mind. when a person hits the weights hard for the first time and maintains a good diet, they will put muscle on very easily. For anyone looking to bulk up, there is a one-time window of opportunity for a person to gain muscle at a rapid pace early. Most men do this in their late teens or early 20′s. Ryan did his somewhat later than average at the age of 26.
Ryan did what is called a One-Part-Per-Day Blitz to gain his muscle.
On day one, he focused on training his chest. Day two was back, day three shoulders, and legs on day four. Sometimes he would supplement arm training depending on how blitzed they got during his workouts. His workouts lasted approximately three hours a day. He did about 8 to 12 reps in this range, Ryan trained six days per week for two to three hours.
Here is How Ryan Dieted to Get Prepared for Blade Trinity
He doubled his meal count: 6 meals a day, while limited calorie intake. He took in no carbohydrates after 8PM each night. His big focus was on keeping insulin levels stable to maximize the body’s ability to burn fat. To do this, he never ate carbohydrates by themselves. He always included a bit of protein with his carbs.
In my opinion, he worked too hard to get his results.
Ryan’s Workout was 2-3 hours per day, 6 days per week. He could have increased his fat burn rate with the effects of increased HGH levels with just a bit of strategic fasting — instead of living in the gym.
