the tyler durden workout
Filed Under (entertainment, random foolishness) by trey on 06-08-2008

I found my new workout. Supposedly this is the workout Brad Pitt did to get ready for Fight Club.
The key to this workout is the rest time, which is when the muscles grow not during the actual time in the gym. He performed 3 sets, taking approximately 60 seconds to rest between each set. Also, he used a weight that was a challenge to complete 15 reps (with the exception of pushups and pullups), but be fatigued on the last rep. Its time to get ripped peeps!

I got tired just reading it, but, yeah, that would be sweet. I made a deal with Leslie Brooke a few years ago that if I looked like Matthew McConaughey did in How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days that I could buy the Triumph Bonneville that he rode in the movie.
I haven’t made it yet. Maybe now’s the time!
Jay, ha. your right about getting tired just reading it. its funny you mentioned the bonneville, thats my favorite bike too, its on my wallpaper rotation for my desktop.
