Probably one of the most admired physiques, as far as Hollywood characters are concerned, is Brad Pitt’s Tyler Durden in Fight Club.
Weighing in at only 150-155 pounds and with only 5-6% body fat, Pitt maintained this physique by focusing on one muscle group per day, allowing for full recovery and maximizing his muscle growth potential over an extended period of time, similar to a bodybuilder’s periodization schedule.
Saving the cardio till the end of the week, Pitt would work at the maximum target heart rate with an intense session to burn off any unwanted fat, without sacrificing muscle.
For his next role in Snatch, Pitt eased off from his intense workout schedule and gained weight for a more healthy 8% body fat.
