Unfortunately No u can get all this stuff for pretty cheap, just the amount to get shredded like him is what adds up. Eggs and spinach are the breakfast 😂 thats like 10 bucks for 3 days worth. Thats cheaper than pancakes at mcdonalds. You are all just lazy
@No Go working long hours and cutting at the same time requires such high maintenance in my experience, I usually have to be on just barely a deficit and extend it longer than I intended so as not to fatigue every day
It's cheaper to eat like this.. Rice, beans, potatoes, Peanuts, cabbage, eggs, polluck, catfish, tilapia..you can get a whole turkey for $.68-$.90/lb. Pork is cheap and naturally lean. You could fill a whole grocery cart for like $150. A box of Captain Crunch is like $4/$5..
The trainer said the number 1 reason all these celebrities have that gets them in amazing shape: They can afford it! Either it is the clean meals, the trainers, the workouts, the drugs. The complete package. Everything is on point and let's be honest, when you know that million dollars check is coming and they just want you to show up, you will show up and give it your all. Money is a damn good motivator.
In interviews, Alex was really open about how miserable he was throughout this process and didn't recommend it to anyone... He said he felt like he was always starving. Not saying not to be healthy! But just know that this kind of diet is really only good for preparing for a bodybuilding competition and stuff (short term). Glad he mentioned that in the video.
While this is likely obtainable naturally, there's 0 chance in hell that this was done naturally. He's 43 with okay genetics, nothing special. He's no Hugh Jackman(Also not a lifetime natty). You should shoot to just look better and be functional. Don't pick a celebrity and aim to look like them. Aim to be better than you were yesterday.
Got to love the natural shredded look Alexander obtained. I also want to reach that but I am taking the long path, just doing calisthenics and trying not to go too crazy with junk food. I found a really great channel here on RUclips (Old School Calisthenics) that is perfect for me on that regard.
Mark robinson Makes no sense at all why he even did that type of diet. He could have done It by tracking his macros and still enjoying certain foods. If you’re somewhat in shape you can get that body in 3 months. Crazy how they tortured him for no reason
@John Kelly lol what did you expect? It is always like this. Fitness models photoshoots, random IG fitness guys/girls do it prior to photo. All movies have pumped actors for scenes where their muscle can shine. Only people who do not understand this are always frustrated, "why I dont look like him". Even they does not look like "they" most of the year and if they do they prep for it for days. Even instastars - eating next to nothing to have nice flat belly in the morning, drinking sugar water pump it out for all they veins to pop, take 100 pictures in multiple outfits and recycle it for 3 months. For hollywood stars, they always do pump to look extra big: Christian Bale in batman pushups scene Jason Momoa - all the time he had short sleves or was shirtless Chris evans - same as Momoa Hugh Jackman too Chris Hemsworth all the time They want to have their best version on screen day. You think they paid him diet, personal trainer, private cook to look flat and skinny in final cut? Just that shape they are in for the few days/weeks it is not how they look most of the year. Hugh Jackman for Wolverine shirtless scene against Mariko's father was dehydrated for 2 days to look supershredded, probably on tren apart of other substances as well. He had terrible headaches that day, sore throat and was more than happy when they finished that part of the movie. He had to go through this just for that single scene, nobody cared how he looked the next day.
This is extremely helpful but I needed to keep it more simple for myself personally and that might not be as tasty but that’s not why you do this. I would go white knuckle and cut out all sweets and only eat healthy food that are cheap and easily prepared like eggs, chicken and spinach. I ate that for more than half my meals for a few months and the results were great. All these menu items are amazing but can be overwhelming.
Just a note: if you do not overcoock pasta and avoid to put in a ton of salt, cheese and every other thing american people usually do, pasta has a medium ig, so it is not so fast as carbo.
it looks silly tho, pumping up before a dialogue.. LOL but respect for what you have attained my friend. but then again LOL for pumping up before the dilogues.. 😂
GS S that’s Hollywood magic. Lol for one shirtless scene in X-men days of future past, Hugh Hackman dehydrated himself for like three days prior to shooting. For a 10 second shirtless scene. And then people just assumed that’s how he looked the whole time.
If he’s 200 pounds and 6’4 he should be getting at the very least 165 grams of protein and the most he should take is 220 grams so he should average out at about 185 grams of protein
So he wakes up at 5am takes a shot then goes for a run at 530-6am. Eats bfast 630am , snack 930am , lunch 1230, snack 330pm, workout 4-5pm , dinner 6pm

I'm 6'3 and I was 190 for most of my 20s. Then I realized I can put on a lot more weight and still look lean if it take my time with it and train for hypertrophy.
@@jwuk11345 hehehe are you crazy 200 pounds for a 6'4 guy is pretty healthy i would day 200 pounds on a let's say 5'8 5"7 dude i would say will be overweight
@@wooowlaa529 I'm just going by recommended guidelines from health professionals! There's no health advantage to being that heavy. It's just a modern cultural thing for guys to want to be big and muscular like their favourite sports/movie stars. 200 pounds isn't unhealthy as long as it's not all fat but it's definitely hovering on the borderline of being overweight.
So how much of a calorie deficit was he in while cutting? I need more details please ie what exercises for weights and how many days bulking before cutting?
It's actually about right. It could be a little bit higher maybe but usually you max out protein synthesis after 70% lb/g so for 200 pounds would be 140g of protein. Some people do more protein but science shows that there is little benefit after reaching 70% so 135 can be appropriate for regular training
@@tyger1104 youre making huge assumption that if u use roids, you turn into gorrila. That's not mostly the case, it takes very good genes , a lot of hard work, and massive 7k plus calorie diet. If u eat low calorie you will get shredded like Alex is, but not bloated and huge,
@@tyger1104 "Aside from newbie gains its impossible for a natty to gain muscle while on a deficit ." This statement is only partially true. "Newbie gains" are a combination of how far you are from your genetic limit and your body fat percentage. It actually has nothing to do with being a newbie. It is only called so since newbies get a lot of gains, even when cutting. If you're an experienced trainer, overweight and train while on a deficit, you will still be able to gain, just not as fast. When your body fat gets lower, the gains will start diminishing and eventually your body will start feeding more on your lean mass. At this point a newbie will most likely still be able gain and continue cutting whereas an experienced trainer will only be attempting to maintain (Easily if he consumes about ~1.6g protein per kg lean body weight and his cut is less than 500kcal per day).
It's been over 50 years since I was a kid reading Tarzan books but I remember vividly his dining habits. First he'd lie in the bush till an antelope came by. Then he'd leap on its back and kill it with his teeth. Then he'd skin it with his knife and eat it raw till he was full. And finally he'd bury the rest for later.
We'll never know, but this is totally achievable naturally through diet and training. Of course, some people take PEDs just to look like the guy who trains often drug free, just without putting in the time and effort.
I’m shocked how low his protein was while cutting. Or maybe that’s just my protein anxiety from decades of being told to eat 1+ grams per lb of bw. At 200lb he was taking in .675 grams of protein per lb (135grams). Regardless, great video and thanks for sharing.
@mark same lmao. I have seen a lot of videos and read articles discussing protein intake. Reality is that the mandate was originally 1 lb per kg not 1g per lb, but its sexier to tell someone to eat 1 gram vs .75 or something like that. Also a lot of people make a lot of money off protein supplements, which I admittedly take, so they don't want you to know you are basically just consuming unnecessary calories. But it does appear that as low as .64 g per lb of bodyweight is perfectly fine for maintaining muscle mass through a cut.
@@jayrusty2012 I have seen that. I am pretty sure 0.64 per lb of bodyweight is nearly equivalent to that. I did lean mass vs what I mentioned above and the protein intake was virtually the same.
J M If we use Skarsgard as an example and are conservative with his bodyfat estimate (lets say it’s 10%), if he is 200 lbs at 10% bf, that’s means he has 180lbs of lean body mass. His trainer put him on 135grams of protein, meaning he was getting .75grams of protein per lb of lbm ... not 1 gram per lb of lbm.
@@TurnOneYeti fair point. So basically we require even less protein than people think to sustain muscle mass through a cut! edit: I have gone from 220 to 200 to 174 and now to 130 grams of protein. Once you get that low all you need is lean meat and eggs. No need for protein shakes. And that is why people will keep selling 1 g per pound of bodyweight to people who don't realize it is actually hurting their weight loss goals. My eyes are open!!!!

For 6'4, 200 pounds would be pretty much overweight. The healthiest weight for that height is between 160-180 lbs
@@jwuk11345 hehehe are you crazy 200 pounds for a 6'4 guy is pretty healthy i would day 200 pounds on a let's say 5'8 5"7 dude i would say will be overweight
@@wooowlaa529 I'm just going by recommended guidelines from health professionals! There's no health advantage to being that heavy. It's just a modern cultural thing for guys to want to be big and muscular like their favourite sports/movie stars. 200 pounds isn't unhealthy as long as it's not all fat but it's definitely hovering on the borderline of being overweight.
Is this every single day?
Doing HIIT/cardio then high intensity weights doesn't seem to give you much chance to rest/heal
That’s where steroids come in.
Yeah, I seem to remember him hating his restrictive diet in the conan interview
Jeremy Podmore but look at the body
So how much of a calorie deficit was he in while cutting? I need more details please ie what exercises for weights and how many days bulking before cutting?
135 protein for a guy of 200 lbs on a cut is wrong, isnt it?
research shown you actually only need 0.8g per pound of LEAN body mass. So it works out to be pretty accurate.
@@DraZtheProbleM 200*.8 =160
Not even close
@@Akileshg1 LEAN body mass
@@tyger1104 at least someone knows what they are talking about here.
It's actually about right. It could be a little bit higher maybe but usually you max out protein synthesis after 70% lb/g so for 200 pounds would be 140g of protein. Some people do more protein but science shows that there is little benefit after reaching 70% so 135 can be appropriate for regular training
Snacking on lobster should be a staple for anyone training for the Tarzan role 😏
I don't understand the cold potato thing. how are potatoes different cold boiled vs mashed?
Are those macros for the maintenance phase? Only 200 carbs during bulking sounds incredibly lean
Josiah Wolf those were cutting macros
So at what point of the day did he get his daily test shot?
he ain't even that shredded
@@tyger1104 youre making huge assumption that if u use roids, you turn into gorrila. That's not mostly the case, it takes very good genes , a lot of hard work, and massive 7k plus calorie diet. If u eat low calorie you will get shredded like Alex is, but not bloated and huge,
@@ethann5410 roids isn't about being "shredded" or a specific physique. They do it to cut down on training time mostly
Probably with his coffee
@@tyger1104 "Aside from newbie gains its impossible for a natty to gain muscle while on a deficit ." This statement is only partially true.
"Newbie gains" are a combination of how far you are from your genetic limit and your body fat percentage. It actually has nothing to do with being a newbie. It is only called so since newbies get a lot of gains, even when cutting. If you're an experienced trainer, overweight and train while on a deficit, you will still be able to gain, just not as fast. When your body fat gets lower, the gains will start diminishing and eventually your body will start feeding more on your lean mass. At this point a newbie will most likely still be able gain and continue cutting whereas an experienced trainer will only be attempting to maintain (Easily if he consumes about ~1.6g protein per kg lean body weight and his cut is less than 500kcal per day).
It's been over 50 years since I was a kid reading Tarzan books but I remember vividly his dining habits. First he'd lie in the bush till an antelope came by. Then he'd leap on its back and kill it with his teeth. Then he'd skin it with his knife and eat it raw till he was full. And finally he'd bury the rest for later.
You wanna be great ! You gotta eat great PERIOD
This diet has three... cycles. K thanks, got it.
Just eating two heavy meals with lots of carbs and protein that fit your total calorie needs is the best way.
There’s no way I could be eating that much constantly.. 2 heavy meals is good enough for me
If you are allergic to seafood, what can you substitute?
Did you train his stunt double as well? They look like Twins.
200 pounds, 135grms of protein... here goes the myth of 1gram per pound of protein
Magnus is the man!
This movie was so awesome
Please come back or make more vids..
Did they mention anywhere about what he ate while bulking?
Fourth: clen and some t3
kcb lmao
The protein macro number seems crazy low, am I right?
Imagine if these diet is considered restricted. I would dream for such a diet.
the dude at 3:09 says "you can actually have good food"
me: who still sees rabbit food in his hand.......
Dawg. Ya’ll would’ve have to CGI me wtf
Me watching this while eating a bag of crisps.
So what's the same thing but for bulking phase ?
He says a cold potato. I assume he means cooked but cold since he didn't saw raw. What is the difference if its warm or cold?
That form on lateral raise and barbell curl..
Did Alex lie when he said that most of his food was just chicken and broccoli? xD this shit looks like a feast.
At least he's honest he goes trought 3 cycles.....
Hahahahahaha good one, cheers mate
Isn't 135 grams of protein a bit less for someone as big as Alex? I would expect he consume at least 200 grams of protein per day.
Oh great on one half you have Tarzan but on the other half you got Pennywise
I see no mention of the PEDS used.
We'll never know, but this is totally achievable naturally through diet and training. Of course, some people take PEDs just to look like the guy who trains often drug free, just without putting in the time and effort.
It's about eating not shooting up
I mean like this vid is not about yhe whole training process just diet
Damn who has the time to cook all this food... Alex was spoon fed. 😂
So I guess the trick is lobster sashimi. Great.
I’m shocked how low his protein was while cutting. Or maybe that’s just my protein anxiety from decades of being told to eat 1+ grams per lb of bw. At 200lb he was taking in .675 grams of protein per lb (135grams). Regardless, great video and thanks for sharing.
@mark same lmao. I have seen a lot of videos and read articles discussing protein intake. Reality is that the mandate was originally 1 lb per kg not 1g per lb, but its sexier to tell someone to eat 1 gram vs .75 or something like that. Also a lot of people make a lot of money off protein supplements, which I admittedly take, so they don't want you to know you are basically just consuming unnecessary calories. But it does appear that as low as .64 g per lb of bodyweight is perfectly fine for maintaining muscle mass through a cut.
it's 1 g per 1 lb of lean body mass !!! (not 1 g per 1 lb of body weight)
@@jayrusty2012 I have seen that. I am pretty sure 0.64 per lb of bodyweight is nearly equivalent to that. I did lean mass vs what I mentioned above and the protein intake was virtually the same.
J M If we use Skarsgard as an example and are conservative with his bodyfat estimate (lets say it’s 10%), if he is 200 lbs at 10% bf, that’s means he has 180lbs of lean body mass. His trainer put him on 135grams of protein, meaning he was getting .75grams of protein per lb of lbm ... not 1 gram per lb of lbm.
@@TurnOneYeti fair point. So basically we require even less protein than people think to sustain muscle mass through a cut!
edit: I have gone from 220 to 200 to 174 and now to 130 grams of protein. Once you get that low all you need is lean meat and eggs. No need for protein shakes. And that is why people will keep selling 1 g per pound of bodyweight to people who don't realize it is actually hurting their weight loss goals. My eyes are open!!!!
what was his cycle as well?
