I’m writing you this letter to kindly suggest a change in the fashion statement you just made at my local gym.  As you hammered out 75 sets of t-bar rows using nearly every single 45-lb plate in the entire building, I couldn’t help but notice the neon yellow string tank top you were sporting.

I wanted to let you know that string tank tops paired with tight, tapered windbreaker pants is highly infuriating and may be sending the wrong signal.  Or, perhaps it’s sending the appropriate signal, but other gym-goers shouldn’t have to deal with that shit.

After all, nothing screams “Hey, look at me…I’m a big dumb meathead!” louder than some dude wearing a string tank top.  String tank tops make me want to gouge my eyes out.  I’m shocked that anyone would ever wear these things.  Apparently, you meatheads think it’s cool to show off your over-sized back muscles.  I’d have to disagree.

There’s just something nasty and irritating about seeing a 215 lb man with a little spaghetti strap-looking string of cotton running down the middle of his back, allowing the world to see his lumpy lats.  Gross.

Leave something to the imagination, please.  No one wants to stare at your thick-ass back and you need to get that thing waxed anyways.

It’s understandable that with your extremely limited range of muscle-bound-motion, you couldn’t reach it with a razor, but couldn’t that guy who yells at you and slaps you in the face between sets get it for you?

And don’t worry, the staged grunting, careful selection of only exercises that allow you to stack on the maximum amount of plates, and the purposeful dropping of that ungodly amount of weight after each of your seventy-five sets of two reps, is sufficient enough to send the message that you’re by far the strongest douche in the gym.

In other words, we get it.  You can lift a shit-ton of weight for two repetitions, but couldn’t run to the end of the dumbbell rack if your life depended on it, nor could you reach up and grab a hundred dollar bill if I held it tauntingly just six inches above your fat head.  Quite impressive.

It is my hope in writing you this letter that you might consider toning down your animal-like behavior just a notch or two on the meathead dial.  I’d strongly encourage you to start by burning all twenty-seven string tank tops that you own – yes, even the hot pink one – and invest in some loose-fitting tee shirts…you know, those things that all the other guys are wearing at the gym…

If you could grant me this one favor, it’d sure be a huge step towards me not purposely taking my own vision the next time I visit our gym for a functional workout that actually allows me to perform better at everyday activities.  Yes, I could come at a different time, but I’ve already tried this avoidance tactic and your six hour marathon workouts (well, eight hours if I include mirror flexing time) make it impossible to escape your presence.

I genuinely appreciate you taking the time out of your supplement pill-popping to read this letter and give it some consideration.  I know I speak for the other gym members when I say that the torching of your string tank tops would have to go down as one of the proudest moments in the history of the anti-meathead movement.

In order to prevent meathead behavior withdrawal syndrome (MBWS), we’ll address the tapered pants, beastly grunting and earthquake-worthy slamming of weights at a future date, after ashes from the burning of your neon string tank top collection has settled.

Insincerely,

Meathead Hater and Lean Body Lover

PS – You must not have noticed, but they have several water fountains available that are free to use…there’s no need to carry around that gallon of water anymore.

To lose fat, build muscle, get a lean body or accomplish any other goals (including non-fitness related goals), it all starts with one simple component that’s almost always overlooked – developing the proper mindset.  To be frank (even though I’m Brad…), the average person is so self-sabotaging it’s not even funny.  The tricky thing is that most people will never discover just how limiting their own thoughts truly are.

If you don’t know what’s wrong, it’s kinda hard to fix it, right?  If you’re having troubles achieving your ideal body, most often times it has nothing to do with you selecting the wrong workout or diet plan and everything to do with you not having the correct mindset.  So if you’re dying to get a lean body and wondering why you’re not getting anywhere, I encourage you to start spending some time on that big brain of yours.

Whether it’s reading just ten to fifteen minutes a day of an uplifting book or watching a motivational video or speech…or just spending more time around positive, successful people and less time around negative, energy-zapping complainers…you’ll begin to notice almost immediate changes in your thought process.

This is BIG, because once you start to think differently, you start to act differently.  And guess what happens when you start acting differently – you got it, you start to see different (better) results.

If you’re tired of carrying excess body fat and really want to sculpt a hard body that belongs on the beach in as skimpy of a swimsuit as possible (can I get an eww-wee?), then sure, you need to start doing things differently.  The problem is that most people skip the most crucial step of reprogramming their thoughts and jump right into switching things up (e.g. starting a new cardio workout or xtreme fat loss diet), but without changing their outlook.

This leads to a temporary improvement (at best) with an end result that’s always going to be the same…because in the end, your mind is going to direct your behavior to match your thoughts, beliefs and whatever negative crap you’re absorbing from the environment around you.

I’m going to make it easy for you to complete your “mindset homework” I assigned you, by posting some highly motivating blog posts from time to time, so that you start to open yourself up to new ideas, better ways of thinking and greater opportunities.  Here’s one from the ultra successful actor Will Smith.  This guy gets it.  Start thinking like the former Fresh Prince and you’ll get a lean body, make more money or accomplish any other goal you may have.

Will Smith – Reprogramming Your Mindset For Success:

I loved how Will says we generally make things more complex than they really are.  Everyone wants to find that special secret.  Nobody thinks it really can be that easy.  This really holds true in fat loss and changing your body.

And that analogy he gave about not being afraid to die on the treadmill was straight fire.  Whether you want the best body, the biggest bonus or whatever else, you’ve simply got to be willing to outwork everyone else.  The average person is just too damn willing to step off that treadmill and accept defeat.

Now if you watched this video and thought it was dumb and are wondering what it has to do with you getting a lean body, then you’re probably one of the people that needs a change in mindset the most.  Successful people think differently than everyone else – they think better.

Like Will Smith says, it pays to be irrational and unrealistic when you’re thinking about your life goals…because if you’re thinking realistically, you’re going to act realistically, and if you act realistically, you’re going to end up with very mediocre (average) results.

I’m not sure if you knew, but we don’t do average on this blog.  We do exceptional.

The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet is essentially everything  I’ve been preaching to my TopFatLossTrainer readers from day one.

We’ve talked a lot about using the cheat day to bump dwindling leptin levels and basically prevent a nasty cascade of events that would otherwise take place in response to prolonged dieting.

This series of internal “anti-starvation” responses actually works against your fat loss efforts, leading to burnout and eventual failure.

The key to extreme fat loss week after week is to outsmart the body.  Step one is, of course, the cheat day.  Step two is following this cheat day up with a fast day.

This makes perfect sense, as your body is currently revved up and ready to burn serious rubber (I mean blubber), thanks to the strategic cheat day.

By immediately creating a large calorie deficit the next day, you can really cash in on a “fresh-to-death” metabolism.  So why not create the largest calorie deficit possible by using a total fast day (water and green tea only) and consuming zip, zero, zilch, nothing, nada?

Not only does the post-cheat day fast give you an opportunistic method of attacking stubborn fat stores at an ideal time, but there are many other benefits associated with this fast day.

For example, although it can be a little tough mentally, the fast day actually teaches you to gain better control over your cravings.  By intentionally going without food for at least 24 hours, you’ll prove to yourself that it actually is possible to maintain discipline in the face of intense desires to indulge in your favorite foods.  This added confidence and willpower helps you stay true to your fat loss diet the remaining days of the week.

A fast day also improves circulation and increases your body’s ability to eliminate toxins.  Theoretically, this means that you’re less likely to get sick, suffer from illnesses and it may even help to slow down the aging process.  By giving your digestive system a much deserved break, you’ll free up energy that can be used to to clean and repair.  Makes sense, right?

One of the raddest and baddest benefits of using a fast day is the laser-like focus and increased energy you’ll experience.  In fact, as I write this Xtreme Fat Loss Diet blog post, I’m about two-thirds of the way through today’s fast (I had my cheat day yesterday) and I can’t even describe how clear, refreshed and bomb diggity-ish I’m feeling right about now.

As you can see, there are lots of perks to using a fast day – the biggest of which being extreme fat loss that just doesn’t stop…I’m assuming this is cool with you.

As with anything, the fast day is not without downsides.  I’m not going to lie – especially after an all-out cheat day, the first few hours will probably include hunger pangs that can get pretty intense.

You’ll have to dig deep and grind through this early phase.  After doing so, it tends to get easier and easier throughout the day.

You may also feel a little lightheaded and dizzy at times.  Those on blood pressure, prostate or certain other medications should not utilize the fast day without first discussing it with your doctor.

Those of you who’re concerned about muscle loss during the fast day shouldn’t worry.  Thanks to raised leptin levels and a surplus of calories and protein from the preceding cheat day, and combined with the fact that you’re following a strategic fat loss workout plan…loss of lean muscle tissue will not be an issue.

As you can see, with the exception of a few select cases, the fast day is a phenomenal tool that should be built into your extreme fat loss diet.  To be exact, the fast day should be used immediately following a high calorie cheat day, which allows you to “double dip” into the fat loss sauce I just served you…ya dig?

If you’re a thinker, you’re probably wondering what’s shaking on the other 5 days of the week…

Basically, you’ll want to follow the known success principles of any fat loss diet plan, which include:  large amounts of lean protein, all the veggies you can handle, fresh fruits, moderate amounts of healthy fats (especially from fish, olive oil and nuts), and limited servings of processed carbohydrates.

There are a few other wizard-like techniques that I encourage you to include in these other 5 “normal” days to round out your ideal, totally kick-ass “Xtreme Fat Loss Diet,” but I don’t want to overwhelm you with specifics.  The gist of it is this – cheat, then fast your way to a lean body.

I’m still laughing at the ridiculous title I gave this workout, haha…”it’s like a fat chisel.”  But it really is.  I thought I was going to either puke or faint after the first exercise alone.  It took a lot of heart to keep going, plus I didn’t want to wuss out on film.  I know all you Inner Circle rock stars are going to hate this metabolic workout, but I also know you’ll love the body composition changes it brings to the table.

This will get categorized under weight training workouts and fat loss workouts, but it’ll probably feel more like a cardio workout.  It’s also a little longer in duration, so lace those shoes up tight, grab your running watch (or just follow my lead) and let’s start chiseling that one thing we all hate – FAT.

*Remember, this is pretty advanced.  Stick to the original lean body workout plan you selected in Step 5 until you’ve maxed that out, then we’ll have you slowly step up to these more challenging workouts.

What did you think?  Was it so effective that your pants/shorts were starting to fall off halfway through the workout like mine were?  Plus, I almost ripped the back of them out during the second to last exercise (and my girlfriend says I don’t have a butt, HA).  Go ahead and leave your comments, questions and requests below.

I’m here to help you every step of the way, so let me know what else you need to succeed with lighting fast speed.  Wow, I’ve really lost it.

I just filmed this quick video showing my current favorite (and most hated) metabolic exercise.  This compound super movement is the combination of several metabolism-boosting exercises all rolled into one long, gut-checking exercise.

For the guys who want to be ripped like Cam Gigandet and the gals who want a toned body like Jessica Alba, this is where it’s at.

Choose to use this highly metabolic exercise by itself for an entire workout, or combine it with other exercises for a longer, hybrid-like workout.  Either way, you’ll see why this exercise is so powerful after a set or two.

As you can see, I included a few pics I snapped right before doing this workout, “attempting” to showcase the v-taper and devil’s horns that I think really makes or breaks the male’s body.

Like a dummy, I didn’t take any a month or so ago when I was at my all time lowest body fat percentage (thinking I was still peaking)…but with all the traveling and visitors I’ve had lately, what can I say…I’ve put a few pounds of fat back on.

I’ll take some more after I hit it hard for another month, just to show that I practice what I preach and I’m all about living the lean body lifestyle.  You should be too.

Metabolic Exercise for a Cam Gigandet or Jessica Alba Body:

If I were a betting man, I’d put a lot of money on you getting a lean, ripped body if you incorporate this metabolic exercise into your overall workout program.  Why not look exceptional like Cam Gigandet or Jessica Alba?  Set your goals sky high and don’t settle for anything less.

By the way, don’t be hating on my pants (which almost ripped when I was filming an Inner Circle workout) or my total lack of ability when it comes to posing, lol.  Can you tell I’ve never competed before?  Next year perhaps…

While I was away at my business meeting I had a question about the best hamstring exercises to do from home.  I thought it’d be much easier to shoot a quick video showing some of my favorite exercises to target the hamstrings and glutes.  Don’t mind the outfit, I’m too fly for real workout gear I guess, lol (what…you don’t workout in jeans?).

Hamstring Exercises You Can Do From Home:

For girls to have a toned and curvy booty that meets a tight and cellulite-free pair of legs, it’s important to work these exercises into your smokin’ hot body workout plan.  You’re welcome (in advance) for making you look so good in those skinny jeans.

And for us guys, especially those of you who like to overtrain the quads and neglect the back of the legs, please don’t think this doesn’t apply.  I’m not scared to admit it – I’ve been focused on shaping my butt lately (mainly because like I said in the video, my girlfriend gives me crap sometimes about not having a butt).

What other questions or requests do my VIP members have?  Sign up below and let a trainer know, wink…

Happy hamstring and glute training.  Get up, I get down, get up, I get down…

I just got back home from a long business trip to Stamford, CT, where I attended an amazing event put on by my business coach.  I had the chance to network with a lot of really cool people in the fitness industry (and many other industries) who’re doing some BIG things.  We’re talking multi-millionaires…

Here’s Me Networking With Some Entrepreneurial Rock Stars:

The atmosphere was outstanding and I definitely made some new friends and gained a whole lot of inspiration and enthusiasm from this huge group of entrepreneurs.  For you, this means more advanced fat loss coaching coming your way and more opportunities to work with me on a more personal level (more on this in the coming weeks).

One thing I regret is that I didn’t bring my clunky laptop along on the trip.  Sure, the iPhone is great for checking emails, blog comments, etc, but it’s kinda a royal pain in the butt to reply to all my Inner Circle and Platinum Personal Training clients, especially when I needed to write in-depth responses.

But I’m back now and I’ll be catching up on all the requests and questions this week.  And just to let you know I was thinking about my ‘crew,’ here are some quick videos I shot on my iPhone during seminar breaks.  I thought I’d upload them to YouTube and be able to post them onto TopFatLossTrainer right away, but I was having major issues copying and pasting the code (guess it’s not the perfect phone after all), so here they are…a little late…

TopFatLossTrainer Update:  Did You Miss Me?

Lean Body:  How Bad Do YOU Want It?

From those two short videos you should be able to see that a) I’m always thinking bout my fat haters and b) I desperately need to get some sleep (by the way, that second video was shot at like 5 am and it’s now about midnight…so this cat needs a nap).

If I were you, I’d step it up and take what’s yours this week.  You have to want it more than anything.  That’s how you win in the lean body game, that’s how you win in business and that’s how you win at life.

PS – get on that VIP list (blue box below) if you’re not already…you’ll be treated like the very important person that you are.

I was doing some market research for my Inner Circle coaching program the other day, when I stumbled upon this new bodyweight workout program called TACFIT Commando.  Being the nosey guy that I am, I started reading through their sales letter to see what it was all about.

Of course, I assumed it was going to be yet another half-ass fitness program put together by some uneducated meathead who claims the product will transform you into a lean and ripped hunk/hottie without having to invest any effort whatsoever.  In other words, I thought TACFIT Commando would be a typical ebook that lacked in quality and over-delivered in hype and ridiculous claims.

However, the beeping noise on my internal BS radar began to slow the deeper I got into the sales copy.  As I continued to read, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the principles this bodyweight training program was based around mirrored almost exactly the same philosophies I preach to you guys every day here on TopFatLossTrainer.

When I got to the end of the sales page, I thought:  “I should contact the author and see if he’ll let me test drive this program to see if it’s as good as it sounds.”  So I hit him up on Facebook and within 15 minutes he had given me an all access pass inside the TACFIT Commando program.  Now, I don’t tell you that so that you’ll go and do the same thing.

This program costs money and the fact that I run a blog that gets thousands of visitors from over 100 countries each day is what allowed me to get the free insider’s look (because if I did like the program and gave it a positive shout out, this would be great for team TACFIT Commando).

Anyways, at this point I’m thrilled that the program is based around almost the exact same training philosophy that I preach to all my readers and, even on a Sunday morning, their customer service was outstanding…BUT, was the product any good and was it worth the money?  It was my mission to find out…

And speaking of mission, in case you hadn’t noticed by the name of the product, TACFIT Commando is based around the exact same training methods used by special ops personnel, SEALs, bodyguards, MMA fighters, firemen, etc.  The first thing that struck me about this program when I started tearing into it was the uniqueness.  Instead of reading about exercises and workouts, the manual lists tasks and missions.

This special ops theme is consistent throughout.  Oh, and I should mention that it’s not just some make-believe, fancy schmancy theme that was cleverly thought up…the author is an accomplished fighter who trains the aforementioned warriors to handle any scenario they may face in their respective profession (we’re talking about the heroes putting their life on the line for our freedom).

If you’re the guy in charge of training these soldiers, you’ve got my attention.

BUT, would his TACFIT Commando program be appropriate for someone like myself who’s got no military background and who’s biggest career danger is having his computer crash without backing up his most recent blog post?  I was determined to find out…

Sunday night I read the entire TACFIT Commando training manual so that I’d know exactly what the program entails.  Monday and Tuesday I spent much of the day watching all the videos, trying out several workouts and ‘playing’ with the bonuses.

Here are some highlights of the TACFIT Commando program:

—> The entire program is bodyweight-only and can be done without any equipment (hence bodyweight only…duh) and with minimal workout space

—> Workouts are 20 minutes or less and focus on intensity, to get you ripped and able to perform like an elite warrior…in fact, in team TACFIT’s own words (‘cuz this is what grabbed my attention):

“The ideal tactical training program must also target the energy system of crisis response: that means high intensity, three-dimensional movements done for repeated bursts of short duration, with fast recovery—serious workouts for those who aren’t afraid to push limits others call impossible.

TACFIT meets these needs by using intense, fast paced circuits, tactically-specific movements, and a training wave that synchs up with your body’s natural energy and recovery patterns.

When you start training with TACFIT, you’ll begin to develop a superhuman ability to recover rapidly from exertion. That means you’re smiling a smug smile while your buddies are still gasping red-faced on the floor. They’re lying there trying to catch their breath, and you’re already headed over the horizon with the girl.

Fitness—like fighting—isn’t a matter of who can do more, but who can do it more often. It isn’t the one who can go the longest at an easy pace, but the one who can collide, shake it off, and go again who survives.”

—> Each week incorporates functional muscle training to enhance performance, intense fat-burning circuits, complex skills development that equips you for better handling stressful situations, and injury prevention and active recovery sessions that allow for maximum training efforts when called for.

Here’s what you get with the TACFIT Commando program:

—> 124 page comprehensive TACFIT Commando training manual (easy to read, good flow)

—> TACFIT Commando mission calendar (makes following the program idiot-proof…I figured it out anyways)

—> Video exercise library (shows you detailed videos of each and every level of every exercise…very important, as I’ve never even seen most of these exercises before)

—> Secret recovery techniques video series (joint mobility routines and Prasara yoga sequences for optimal warm-up, cool-down, recovery and injury-proofing)

Of course, they hooked me up with access to the TACFIT Commando Deluxe Edition, which includes the following bonuses in addition to everything I just listed:

—> Follow along mission simulation videos (just like I use in the Inner Circle…I think this is key to making sure users are getting maximum benefit from any workout program)

—> Rapid recovery and breathing secrets of the special ops (all I can say is WICKED cool)

—> Tactical readiness diet plan (haven’t looked into this much, as I’ve been too focused on my missions)

—> Warrior recipes book (had the Mediterranean Egg Scramble this morning…delicious.  Lots of other great meal ideas that’ll help facilitate results from the training program)

I think that’s it.  Needless to say, TACFIT Commando is quite comprehensive and includes everything you could possibly need to succeed with a new training program.

Overall, I definitely give TACFIT Commando my TopFatLossTrainer stamp of approval.  After all, this program is essentially everything I preach, minus the dumbbells/kettlebells and plus some seriously challenging “special op” bodyweight exercises that I’ve honestly never even heard of before.

The system contains 3 months worth of missions (workouts) and each mission has 3 different levels, making it usable by pretty much any fitness level.  But I have to admit, even the beginner level (called “recruit level”) workouts were humbling for yours truly.

To me, that’s a good thing – I like to be challenged and enjoy kicking my own ass with the goal of ‘conquering’ a certain level and being able to step up to the next; for others, who don’t like a good challenge and who’re unable to dig deep and push themselves during workouts, this wouldn’t be the best program for you.

Remember, any program that is shorter in duration can only work when intensity is applied.  You’re not going to lose fat by ‘dogging’ a fifteen minute workout.  TACFIT Commando is no magic bullet, and doesn’t claim to be…so please don’t purchase this training system if that’s what you’re after.

Additionally, if you’re not into the whole special ops theme that the material is presented in, then TACFIT Commando is definitely NOT for you.

But if  you’re looking to sculpt a ripped James Bond-like physique and have the athletic and performance abilities to back up the bod…and if you’re willing to push yourself to new limits and practice great discipline with a fresh new program that’s unlike anything you’ve ever tried before…then TACFIT Commando may very well be the yin to your yang.

I’ve always admired and looked up to guys like Navy SEALs, MMA fighters and other real-life badasses who possess ridiculous performance abilities…and have a calendar-worthy body as a result.  You’ve heard me say time and time again that the best way to transform your body is to start training to get stronger, run faster, jump higher, recover quicker, etc…and stop training to lose fat and build muscle.

In other words, switch your mindset to adopt more of a performance-based focus and a stellar body will become an unavoidable side effect of this ambition.  TACFIT Commando is built around this exact principle, which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.  So if you think you’ve got the cojones to train like some of the world’s most dangerous guys, I suggest you man up.

Another fat hater Friday…who’s ready to party?  You know what…every day feels like Friday to me these days.  I’m either extremely lucky or I work extremely hard at making things happen…because I’ve got to be right up there in the running for world’s happiest man.  That’s what living the lean body lifestyle is all about – getting the body you’ve always wanted and continually improving and enjoying all other aspects of life along the way.

And speaking of enjoying life (am I the segue king or what?), one thing I really do a lot of is laughing.  If you’re not laughing on the daily, something’s wrong.  You either need to loosen up, kick some stress, find new friends or all of the above.  I think we could all stand to laugh a little more and kick back a little bit.

There’s so much damn negativity we’ve gotta deal with every single day…that’s why on this blog I always try to keep it super informative AND entertaining.  I figure if you can learn something new and LOL while reading one of my posts, then that’s time well spent.  Right?

Wicked.  Let’s start your weekend off with a laugh, as I reveal the best pick up lines to use at a gym…or anywhere, for that matter.  Warning:  if you’re easily offended, these pick up lines may not be your cup of tea…but then again, you probably wouldn’t be following TopFatLossTrainer if you’re that uptight, so never mind.  Here goes…

31 Best Pick Up Lines to Use at the Gym:

1) You must know karate.  ‘Cuz your body is kickin’.

2) I may not be the best looking guy in here, but I’m the only one talking to you.

3) Is this love at first site or should I walk by again?

4) How much does a polar bear weigh?  Enough to break the ice.  Hi my name is…

5) Did it hurt?  What?  When you feel from heaven.

6) What has 142 teeth and holds back the Incredible Hulk?  My zipper.

7) All those curves…and me with no breaks!

13) Your dad must be a baker, ‘cuz you’ve got hot buns.

14) My name isn’t Elmo, but tickle away.

15) (check his/her shirt tag)…Yep, that’s what I thought – made from heaven.

17) Are you a zoo?  Because you bring the animal out in me (growl)

18) You must be lost, the modeling convention is down the street.

19) You must be a parking ticket…’cuz you’ve got FINE written all over you.

20) Screw me if I’m wrong, but haven’t we met before?

21) If you were a screen door, I’d slam you all the time.

22) Do you work for UPS?  No, why?  ‘Cuz I caught  you checking out my package.

23) I seem to have lost my teddy bear.  Will you sleep with me tonight?

24) Did you clean those pants with Windex?  No, why?  ‘Cuz I can see myself in ‘em.

25) You must have a ninja inside  you, ‘cuz your body is kickin’.

26) Did you hear the latest health report?  It said you’re supposed to increase your intake of vitamin ME.

27) Are you from Jamaica?  ‘Cuz ja-makin’ me crazy.

28) Excuse me, you dropped something.  My jaw.

30) You look so good, I want to put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit.

31) Are you wearing space pants?  ‘Cuz that booty is out of this world.

Tell me some of those didn’t have you almost in tears, haha.  Talk about cheesy…I think I might pee my pants if I ever heard anyone actually use any of these in public.  Yet, for some reason I could totally see some meathead busting one of these out after an intense set of bicep curls.

Which of these is your favorite?  I think I laughed the hardest when I read the one about “putting you on a plate and sopping you up with a biscuit.”

Which pick up lines did I leave out? There’s gotta be some classics I missed.  Leave your best (or cheesiest) pick up lines in the comments section below…

I haven’t done a celebrity workout review in a while and many of my readers have been wanting to get some insight on the “Rain workout routine for Ninja Assassin.”  After doing my research on Jeong Ji-hoon (Korean: 정지훈; born June 25, 1982), who’s much better known by his stage name Rain…I can see why.  This guy has built an amazing lean body that’s no doubt helped his career as a singer, dancer, designer, model and now actor.

What I’m digging about Rain’s physique is his proportions, symmetry, awesome v-taper and impressive leanness.  He’s managed to create a ripped body that emulates athleticism and power, but without stacking on ridiculous amounts of bulky muscle mass.  Rain has the Brad Pitt Fight Club body going on, for sure.  Here’s a pic showing his progression from when he first started training for Ninja Assassin, up through the filming of the movie…

So what’s the top secret Rain workout routine that allowed him to look so fly for his role as Raizo in Ninja Assassin?  Well, rather than listing some cheesy workout plan that’s probably just made up by shady website owners looking to sell you supplements that’ll ‘magically’ give you a ripped body like Rain…I’ve got something even better.

I found a couple of videos that show Rain during his actual workouts in preparation for the Ninja Assassin flick.  Now we know these are legit.  Take a look at the types of exercises and techniques his trainers used during the workouts…I think you’ll notice that the “Rain workout” is built around many of the exact same advanced fat loss and muscle building strategies I recommend to all my TopFatLossTrainer readers.

Finally, some truth when it comes to how celebrities get incredibly lean and ripped for their movie roles.  Notice how Rain was describing his workout routine as one of the most challenging and demanding things he’d ever been put through?  He trained SIX hours a day for SIX months to accomplish the total body transformation shown above.  Granted, 5 of those hours were devoted to fighting technique for the movie, but think about the obscene amount of calories Rain burned through each day during these workouts.

Creating an exceptional body requires exceptional efforts and there are NO quick fixes, other than training and dieting smarter, harder and with greater focus.  Here’s another Rain workout video that shows even more of his training sessions (some of it’s in English and some is narrarated in Korean…but it’s still a killer video that shows Rain “in the trenches,” just like I promote with my garage workouts).

Rain Workout, Ninja Assassin Training Clips:

You can see that Rain managed to get cut up without fancy equipment and without having to complete every workout in a state of the art gym or training facility.  I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with training at a gym…I’m just driving home the point that a little dedication, mixed with some imagination (and very basic fitness equipment), can go a long ways.  Whether you’re working out entirely from home, only at the gym or a combination of both…the only thing that stands in the way of you building your own Rain hard-body is YOU.

I was pleased to see that Rain’s workout was based around heavy, highly metabolic, total body training, which is exactly what I prescribe (well, I guess I can only ‘recommend’ since I’m just a pharmacist) to get a body like Rain.  It’s funny because I just filmed the half get-ups and dumbbell push-ups into a one-armed row the other day in my Advanced Ab Exercises video.

Rain’s workout had him performing full get-ups and combining three of my favorite moves (the burpee, the dumbbell push-up into one-armed row combo and the push press) into one giant, lean body certified movement.  Very cool and very effective.

I hope you were as inspired as I was by watching these Rain workout clips and even more importantly, I hope this post helped to clear any misconceptions you might of had regarding how celebrities really train to get ripped fast (or should I say slow).

So what’s up…are  you guys (and gals) feeling this smooth cat?  Where does Rain stand in the best celebrity male body category?  What do you think about the video clips taken from Rain’s workout sessions?

I’ll be filming my own version of a Rain Ninja Assassin workout and  uploading it shortly.  It’ll be doper than dope.
