As some of you may know, this summer I’ve been working on a program by Clay Rogers called the “Hollywood Physique for Men.” If you’ve heard of the program then perhaps you’ve been wondering, does the Hollywood Physique for Men work? Does it really get you ripped and lean in 12 weeks? You can go here to read my initial review of the program. You can also check this post out to see how I was doing on the program after 6 weeks. So how have I fared on this program? After using this program, I can honestly say that I believe it works. Did I achieve the maximum results? Well no but here is why…. I really didn’t participate in the last 4 weeks of the program. The last 4 weeks are really the most critical part of the program. It’s when your body is absolutely primed for the [click to continue reading...]
There are few times in my life when I actually make a conscious decision to watch soccer. And yes I’ll be referring to it as soccer because I’m from the U.S. Sorry rest of the world, don’t blame me. But anyway, if you’ve been paying attention to the sports world for the past couple of weeks, you’ve probably been swept up in the Women’s World Cup. For me, watching the World Cup, be it men’s or women’s is always wildly entertaining. Nations compete. Fans show up. Colors are honored. Soccer happens. It’s exciting. Now I am not usually a fan of soccer, but when the world cup is on the line, the game becomes very interesting to me. Even though my country didn’t win the Women’s World Cup, it still left me feeling very impressed by the sheer magnitude of fitness on display. So here are some of the things [click to continue reading...]
Hello all. I made a very important decision this week. In the past few weeks I’ve been going through some changes. My bodyfat levels have been thankfully shrinking. My muscles have been sort of morphing into bigger versions of themselves. My skin however, has been suffering. I’ve always suffered from acne. Go read this post if you want proof. Usually it’s under control but lately I’ve been noticing my skin becoming more aggravated, with acne lesions showing up in random places. One pimple doesn’t raise any alarm for me, but when I start getting cysts on in multiple places on my face and back, I know something is up. I have nothing to do but guess. Guess What? The only clue I have to go on is that my digestion hasn’t been stellar lately. There are two factors I attribute to this: 1. Not eating enough curciferous veggies. 2. Drinking [click to continue reading...]
Over the past 6 weeks I have been working on the Hollywood Physique for Men program. The program is based on a few defining principles:
-There is one male physique considered more attractive then the rest
-Hollywood actors all achieve this physique
-They usually do it in a short amount of time
-The amount of muscle needed to achieve the physique is less than one would expect
-You can build this muscle and lose plenty of body fat with a lot less gym time
How Did I Get Here?
When I first heard about the program, I was really intrigued. It seemed that the creator, Clay Rogers, had really hit on something that was both unique and effective. It was just what I needed to get my fitness goals back on track.
So I started the program. If you want to read my initial review of the program, go here. Otherwise, you might be wondering, after 6 weeks, how have I been doing?
After 6 weeks of hard workouts and a very specific diet plan, I think my results are pretty good. I look in the mirror and I can see my muscles doing the things they should be doing and my body fat shrinking slowly but surely.
For reference, here is a picture of what the ideal Hollywood Physique is. This is the blueprint that you see on all of those hollywood actors like Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig etc.
It’s not a fanboy fascination with male actors which attracted me to this program. Come on. What guy wouldn’t want the body in that blue print?
And The Winner Is….
I didn’t manage to snap a photo of myself directly before I started the program, but here is a picture of me from earlier this year. I didn’t look much different than this when I started the program.
Today, after 6 weeks on the program, this is what I’ve been able to do: In my opinion, being half way done the program, these results are pretty good. I can see certain muscle groups shaping up nicely and my waist line is slowly shrinking. I keep telling myself that the stomach and hips will be the last place I lose fat and it will be the most stubborn fat in the universe. So What Has It Been Like? In my opinion, a lot of people could benefit from structuring their workouts the way Clay has in the Hollywood Physique. They are short and intense. You don’t do a set and then chat with your buddy for 5 minutes before doing another set. You get in, you do your reps, you breath like 4 times, and then you do more reps. By the end you [click to continue reading...]
