Brad Pitt is one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars. A sex symbol for woman and envied by men for his lean, slim and muscular physique. Brad Pitts body has become the icon on how most guys would love to look like, and many are curious to know about Brad Pitt workout and training routines.

Brad Pitt are notorious for completely transforming himself within a few months to get ready for a certain film role and over the years Brad Pitt has slimmed, bulked and cut for various roles.

In order to prepare for his roles Brad is no stranger to the gym, but it have never been his favorite place. ”I’m just not a gym kind of guy. I prefer sitting on the porch with my dog.” Preparing for roles the laid back lifestyle cigarettes, beer and chips is replaced by a strict diet and training regime.

Not much information has been released on the training and workout routines that he used, but from what we know is that he used a typical bodybuilding routine and severe diet plans to get the physique shown in FightClub, Troy, Kalifornia and Snatch.

Here’s Brad Pitt workout routine for FightClub:

Monday – Chest_
3 – 75 Push ups
3 – Bench press 165,195,225 (25, 15, 8 reps)

He performed 3 sets, taking approximately 60 seconds rest between each set. Additionally, he used a weight that is challenging enough to complete 15 reps (with the exception of pushups and pullups), but be fatigued on the last rep.

On this program Pitt ended on 155 pounds with body fat around 5-6%. Many other superior routines would have accomplished that in half the time, and it was not the training regime that was responsible for his shredded physique but his diet, which we will cover later!

For the movie “Troy” Brad Pitt bulked up gaining 15 pounds of muscle, using this routine very similar to the one he used for FightClub. The main difference is the total volume, lower reps and he started training his legs, because he had a lot of nude scenes, and didn’t want to use an stand in.

I’m not impressed by Brad Pitt workout and training routines. It’s typical bodybuilding splits – train till you drop dead for trainees on steroids. Natural trainees will get far better results by using methods like these. 

Brad Pitts diets to the “Hollywood top body look” mainly consisted of high protein sources such as Chicken, Turkey, Fish, Lean Meat, Eggs and Cottage Cheese. To cut the calories drastically he excluded most of his carbs, relying on mainly vegetables. This low calorie diet shreds bodyfat, allowing the muscles to stand out, and give the defined look.
