sorry the late reply man.

He definitely did gain some muscle for this role and it’s the leanest he’s ever been.

Looking at his before picture and the picture from the movie, I doubt if he gained any muscle for that. It looks more like he lost some body fat to get leaner and show off some already present muscle. It reminds of how different some of the guys on the wrestling team looked from the beginning of the year to the end of the season. For example, the 158 pounder would come back from summer break weighing about 175-180. The difference between those two points in time look exactly like the difference between those pictures you post.

By the way, that workout you posted, looks pretty good even for a pretty advanced athlete. The older I get, the more I like whole body sets.

thank you Russell.

An incline dumbbell press is simply an exercise. I currently don’t have an exercise demo for that, but there are plenty on youtube.

But one thing I think you could do that would help beginners implement your workouts more effectively is definitions for some of the terms you use. You suggest a I do so many reps and so many sets, but what if I don’t know what, say, an “Incline dumbbell press” is? (and I don’t). I know I can google it, but then I’m all over the web instead of staying on your site..

I know enough to know form is very important, so not only do I need to know how to do an Incline dumbbell press, I need to know how to do it correctly. Selecting the correct weight is important too. As a newb, I could use help figuring that out too.

Thanks for all the advice, very glad I found this site!
