Actor Brad Pitt is among the buffest guys in Hollywood, but he earns that reputation with tough workouts for film roles in movies such as Fight Club and Troy, in which his muscular appearance is essential to the character.
According to the website bradpittworkout.com, Pitt spent about a year training for his lead role as the Greek hero Achilles in the film Troy. His regimen included workouts for chest, back, forearms, triceps, shoulders and legs that--for the most part-- involved 6 sets of 6-10 reps.
Some highlights from those workouts to inspire you:
-Chest: 5 sets of 6-10 reps on the bench press, 6 sets of 6-10 reps on the incline press, and 6 sets of 6-10 reps of cable crossovers.
-Back: 6 sets of 6-10 reps of seated pulley rows, 6 sets of 15 reps of straight leg deadlifts, 5 sets of 6-10 reps of T-bar rows
-Legs: 6 sets of 8-12 reps of squats, 6 sets of 8-12 reps of leg presses, 6 sets of 12-15 reps of leg extensions
-Biceps: 6 sets of 10-12 reps of barbell curls, 6 sets of 10-12 reps of seated dumbbell curls, 6 sets of 6-10 reps of dumbbell concentration curls.
Remember that Pitt and other celebrities have personal trainers to guide their workouts; to make sure they are using the correct form and weight for their current fitness level. If you usually do 3 sets in the weight room, don't jump right to 6 to be like Brad. Start with 4, and then work your way up.
