Brad Pitt’s Fight Club Workout-Schedule

Fight Club’s worldwide acclaim led Brad Pitt to become one of the most talked-about Hollywood stars of the 1990s. His physique was “visceral and hard-edged” like the movie itself. Pitt’s memorable Fight Club avatar Tyler Durden initiated an all new tradition of celebrity-fitness in the 1990s – the lean and strapping look with clearly defined abs and light muscle. Though this variety of physique may easily be outshined by a Stallone or a Schwarzenegger, Pitt’s Fight Club physique has gained popularity by its own right. It receives thousands of searches around the world to this day, and men continue to crave for Pitt’s composed-yet-ready-to-kill look. Wondering why?

Why Tyler Durden?

Brad’s Fight Club physique has a number of advantages over the “buff” or “brawny” look. It is easy concealment coupled with intense fitness; when a man of such physique is clothed, what stands out is the leanness and not the muscle, and hence, gives him the element of unpredictability. Also, greater leanness is greater agility. Lastly, the lean-and-strapping physique keeps the celebrity out of character prototypes and allows him to navigate through a broad range of role-playing. He can steer clear of stigmas such as “action hero” and “muscle god” and exploit his versatile image for romantic and tough roles alike, sometimes in the same movie.

How should you achieve such a remarkable physique? Well, by following the schedule Brad Pitt did in order to become Tyler Durden in Fight Club.
