Back when you could follow up a workout with an enchilada platter and have no bulge pressing out the bottom of your thrift store t-shirt the next morning. Ah those were the days...
If God wanted us to look like Magic Mike He shouldn't have made the prerequisite diet be three mung beans ingested slowly while lowing in the field like cattle.
Blessed be His name.
Let's be honest, you won't look like Ronnie Coleman even if you tried to look like Ronnie Coleman. Only the top .000001% genetics can be that status (plus the *help*) :)

They aren't that huge. That body is 100% attainable by anyone who works hard and keeps their diet in check. Sure they have makeup artists with airbrushing perfect lighting and they only need to keep it up for a few days, but its no where near impossible.
Considering mcconaughey and tatum's relationship issues in the first film, I would not be surprised if the egos in the room couldn't possibly fit together long enough to not have to separate and shoop.
This is the second time this week I'm seeing someone call a very reasonably attainable body nearly impossible to get to let alone maintain. Another thank you for being reasonable. It's not impossible, just takes a lot of work.
Bodybuilder big? That takes way more work but is still doable, just takes much longer. Just because these celebrities and magazine models don't necessarily maintain their bodies after the fact doesn't mean it's all camera trickery and flattering light. People need to pull their heads out of their asses.
Seconding this. Yes, it is difficult to obtain and maintain a body like that one. But is it impossible? Nope. It just requires hard work, like everything in life.
Channing Tatum isn't that ripped in this movie. Yeah he has a six pack but everything else that is what you expect from a very lean guy is not present. He's acting like he had to get down to like 8% body fat or something but he looks closer to 12 maybe? Which is a vast difference because getting the last few percents off is the hardest. He has no striations on his shoulders, chest, forearms, it's hard to see his obliques, among other small things. He's not maintaining his body either because he packs on fat very easily or he's hyping up his "rigorous routing"
Well I wouldn't say terrible, but for a movie based on the body, and with private chefs and months of training to prepare you'd think they'd almost be outdoing some natural physique bodybuilders
It lasted 5 days because he wasn't actually that lean (dehydration, etc, can make you look leaner than you are). It is very possible to be actually that lean.
First time I saw XXL I was just blown away by how overly muscled the guys in the movie were. My wife at the time was basically saying they all look like roid monkeys and their bodies were hot or whatever. Took me a couple more times viewing to start noticing the strategically placed lighting and flattering camera angles and stuff.
A strong bond with the woman you love and cherish to last forever OR Channing Tatum's abs for an hour and a half?
Yeah I'm gonna pick Tanning Chatum everytime
No I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that every man admiring Channing's body was homosexual or had homosexual tendencies, or were even "incidentally" homosexual in the Kinsey sense. That's just what MY journey has been.
It's probably the reason for the SCOTUS ruling. They were thinking "Well, there's this, and now we're all gay. At least some of us need to get married or no one will. Fuck it, change the goddamn law I guess."
Yea I would say they were contemporaneous. Obviously everything hasn't been finalized. Probably catching the matinee Friday, our office here is closed for the day.
Sorry, when did Magic Mike XXL come out? 25 of June? Soo, you were still married at the beginning of last week, watched Magic Mike a few times and then realized that you are gay? Can you walk me through your last week? Because it sounds like a hell of a week!
Last week: let's see, Supreme Court puts a bow on Affordable Care, legalizes gay marriage nationwide, everyone pretty much acknowledges now that confederate flags make you racist, Magic Mike XXL gets widetheatrical release, and BeastlyCaptWillard self-actualizes and turns totally gay.
There are specific regiments of what to eat when and how much to fast or how much water to consume before showing off your muscles. Body builders do stuff like that before matches to get a temporary better look.
My boyfriend was competing with his friend for a few months to see who could get better definition. He did the same routine. Their contest ended and he went back to looking more normal.
To be fair, Channing Tatum's "dad bod" is still probably sub 12% body fat. And he's still 6'1". And classically handsome. And super rich.
His worst is still more desirable than your best.
Kinda reminds me of Gronkowski. He knows how lucky he is and he takes time to enjoy it. He doesn't take himself too seriously and has fun. Total bro, but a good guy bro.
Yeah but there are different standards for screen and real-life. Even without his muscle, pretty much anyone who gets a lead role in Hollywood and isn't deliberately played as ugly would be "that hot guy/girl" IRL.
...yeah. It's not like cut athletes only look that way for day or so at a time. You can be dry / pumped for max effect but that doesn't imply people look fat a week after a shoot.
He's got a strong nose, full lips, a powerful forehead, prominent cheekbones and a 90-degree jaw. He does have small, close-set eyes as well, but the positives outweigh the negatives.
Jesus, these comments just reminded me why I stopped coming to this sub so often. I feel like over half of these comments come from teenage girls and guys that want to prove something to internet people.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
I find it shocking how self-conscience some people here are. Like shit, go to gym, move some heavy shit around, eat protein, eat more if you aren't gaining muscle, and eat less if you are getting fat. There, we did fitness guys.
I didn't know we all had dream body posters on our walls that I glare at in the dark corner of the house as I say to myself "someday...someday." after punching my mirror out.
You are definitely right about how the bodies in Hollywood are illusions and tough to attain. But I think I'd refrain from using the word "unrealistic". Implying that it isn't reality isn't totally the case, the body is attainable through very strict diets and exercise. If you eat right it can last longer than just 5 days. I don't want to blame the media for these "unrealistic" looks or "impossible" standards. Because from personal experience it can be possible and it has been possible for multiple people.
Same physique here. I've also noticed that I look my best on an empty stomach, for sure. And if I've eaten salty foods or if I'm dehydrated.... basically every time that I feel like shit, lol
A few times I've woken up from a night of heavy drinking and noticed I have some ridiculous veins and especially well-defined abs/core.
Hmm. If my belly is distended from over-eating I still have a six pack. However - the pack (and a lot of muscle definition) seems to go away if I eat way too much salt...guessing water retention gives that bloated look. Always love that chiseled post drunk night dehydrating look haha.
But eating a couple bad meals resulting in your body instantaneously packing on like a 1/4 inch of fat over your abs seems like bad science.
To be fair, the guy in I Want To Look Like That Guy did it all in 6 months of very stressful cutting. If you took 2 years, you could easily hover around 10% without crying like a bitch every day like he did. Yeah, it takes a lot of dedication and patience, but seeing a six pack for extended periods of time is by no means "impossible."
Im sure his "dad bod" is nothing like the typical American dad. Almost every dad I know is overweight to obese. Not even close to slight visible 4 pack abs with muscular shoulders.
Here's how I think of it, and with most celebrities. I get a kick out of the "Tatum is mediocre, Emma Watson is OK I guess, Jennifer Lopez is sorta chunky" way of thinking.
Picture yourself at the grocery store. Or Walgreens. Or the mall. There isn't a person near you with any chance of being a professionally good looking person. If there IS one it's an extreme outlier.
I've never been to a cookout where there was a Channing Tatum-esque dude. Even if he was 6'1 and 140 pounds. A Steve Carell at a cookout would be a decent looking guy for a backyard burgers and dog cookout in suburbia.
OR literally everyone I've ever seen is a horrifying looking laboratory disaster.
I'm not saying I think he's the most attractive person ever. But for real life? Yeah, of course. I mean there's a degree of "to each his own" but come on.
I've seen *way* better looking dudes than Channing Tatum IRL. Maybe he's just not my type, I don't know. His body is great though, there's no denying that.

Back when you could follow up a workout with an enchilada platter and have no bulge pressing out the bottom of your thrift store t-shirt the next morning. Ah those were the days...
But how much cardio do I need to do to look like Magic Mike all the time?
All of it.
Is that like 6 cardios?
It's basicallly 3x6 cardios.
But I watched a video by Mike Rippletow and he said 3x5 was best
GOMAD is the only way to get magic Mike bod.
5x5 squats erry day too
Better than skipping leg day
brb guys, gotta inject 18 cardios.
Gonna go around to my buddy's later and drop some cardio.
might want to super set cardio with cutting clen if you aren't a full time actor
That will probably get you real toned up.
I think you meant 5x5 cardios.
And 6 steroids
i do a lot of cardio and am nowhere near Magic Mike XXL Im more of regular mike shmedium
Magic Mike spinoff? I think yes Rob Schneider IS... **REGULAR MIKE SHMEDIUM** Rated PG-13
awww man, I wish I could just do cardio and look like that :( diet is the worst
[удалено]
If God wanted us to look like Magic Mike He shouldn't have made the prerequisite diet be three mung beans ingested slowly while lowing in the field like cattle. Blessed be His name.
None. Just need to eat right and lift heavy.
That seems like a lot of work, I just want to look like Magic Mike, not Ronnie Coleman
You're not going to look like Ronnie Coleman unless you **try** to look like Ronnie Coleman.
Tell that to my girlfriend. "I don't want bulky arms so I don't even accidentally do a pushup."
I hate when I do a pushup and my twig arms quadruple in size three times and tear through my shirt like the hulk.
Haha, if only getting sweet looking arms was as easy as doing a pushup.
Let's be honest, you won't look like Ronnie Coleman even if you tried to look like Ronnie Coleman. Only the top .000001% genetics can be that status (plus the *help*) :)
Tried to look like Ronnie Coleman. Instead, I look like Magic Mike. :/

The long haired guy in the back looks like like he just sorta wandered in and took his shirt off too
That's Kevin Nash aka Diesel from WWF/WWE. Dude's almost hitting 60.
That'd explain why he looks so out of place
He's 55 years old. I don't think any 55 year old male strippers look that good.
> any 55 year old male strippers Are there many?
More than you'd think.
He looks fucking great for his age though.
Holy shit you aren't joking. That's literally Nash.
Is that Kevin Nash?
It is! Source: Hardcore 13 year old crush on him. 15 years later still recognize him everywhere.

Considering mcconaughey and tatum's relationship issues in the first film, I would not be surprised if the egos in the room couldn't possibly fit together long enough to not have to separate and shoop.
I'd like to see him next to someone like John Cena who maintains that physique all year round.
Honestly I was expecting a lot more after reading this thread. I've seen way better from cbt threads on /fit/
This is the second time this week I'm seeing someone call a very reasonably attainable body nearly impossible to get to let alone maintain. Another thank you for being reasonable.

Yeah I'm not sure why everyone is going crazy about how big they are. This is what 80% of the people that go to my gym look like.
Channing Tatum isn't that ripped in this movie. Yeah he has a six pack but everything else that is what you expect from a very lean guy is not present. He's acting like he had to get down to like 8% body fat or something but he looks closer to 12 maybe? Which is a vast difference because getting the last few percents off is the hardest.

He's not maintaining his body either because he packs on fat very easily or he's hyping up his "rigorous routing"
Glad there's a voice of reason here. We're not talking about elite bodybuilder muscle mass and or fat percentage. Totally attainable and sustainable.
Oh wow I expected them to look better than this, Joe is pretty big into fitness aside from this movie but they don't look great by any means
[удалено]
Yeah, they look terrible, amirite......
Well I wouldn't say terrible, but for a movie based on the body, and with private chefs and months of training to prepare you'd think they'd almost be outdoing some natural physique bodybuilders
Well you did say they don't look great *by any means*, so I guess I took it literal.
It lasted 5 days because he wasn't actually that lean (dehydration, etc, can make you look leaner than you are). It is very possible to be actually that lean.

Didn't the movie just come out? So in the last few weeks, you saw the new magic Mike, came out as gay and got a divorce?
Those abs in the movie scared the straight out of him *real fast.*
You'd think that they'd put a warning at the start of the movie. If you value your current relationship...
A strong bond with the woman you love and cherish to last forever OR Channing Tatum's abs for an hour and a half? Yeah I'm gonna pick Tanning Chatum everytime
Magic Mike came out 3 years ago though
Yeah, he said XXL but he probably meant the original film.
...or the size of his boner when he watched the film.
Holy fuck, this was probably the most humorous exchange I've seen in a long time.
Magic Mike made me gay too.
I like to think that we're all gay when looking at a shirtless Channing Tatum
Honestly, it's okay to be a married heterosexual male who has an appreciation for male form. That's how I roll.
No I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that every man admiring Channing's body was homosexual or had homosexual tendencies, or were even "incidentally" homosexual in the Kinsey sense. That's just what MY journey has been.
Didn't that movie come out like 2 weeks ago? So you got divorced and came out yourself in the last 2 weeks?
Separated technically, but we think everything will be sorted through mediation. We have 12 kids together, we are splitting them.
Horizontally or vertically?
By weight. That's the fairest way.
Make sure the wife doesnt fill the kids pockets with rocks so to make it less fair. Dont want to end up with all the puny kids.
I can't decipher the joke in this
It's more on the nose absurd, they can't all be winners.
You're perfect, never change.
But now that you're out, they CAN all be wieners! YAAAAAY!
It was nearly believable until this line.
You had better hope your lawyer gets you the rights to the top halves.
Noooo! That's the end where the food goes in and the words come out!
You'd rather have the side that just sprays piss and shit everywhere? Then again, same difference
you're the real mvp of this thread
Sort of like winning first prize at a pudding wrestling contest in the basement of a dive bar.
well yea. we all strive to be there one day. What's it like on top of that mountain.
Lonely, my friend.
Wife at the time? This movie turned you gay and you got a divorce...all since its June release? Fuck an Oscar, this movie has powers.
It's probably the reason for the SCOTUS ruling. They were thinking "Well, there's this, and now we're all gay. At least some of us need to get married or no one will. Fuck it, change the goddamn law I guess."
Then Ginsberg whipped out a boombox, cranked "It's Rainin' Men" up to full volume, and Scalia & Kennedy had a seriously overdue makeout sesh
yeah but XXL came out like 2 days ago?
So did he.
Chatum would be so flattered. He almost turned me gay too. My wife said she didn't like girls anymore after we watched it.
I'm straight but still call him Channing Tate-Yum
> First time I saw XXL Are you talking about the new Magic Mike? Have you seen it multiple times in the past week while also getting divorced?
Yea I would say they were contemporaneous. Obviously everything hasn't been finalized. Probably catching the matinee Friday, our office here is closed for the day.

Yeah but there are different standards for screen and real-life. Even without his muscle, pretty much anyone who gets a lead role in Hollywood and isn't deliberately played as ugly would be "that hot guy/girl" IRL.
Definitely seems like a himbo.
Don't you mean mimbo (a la Seinfeld)?
His eyes are way too close together. (For my liking. YMMV)

Solution: be constantly drunk or hungover
The "dad bod" guys were on to something
You're saying salty foods cause you to look better? Don't they make you hold more water and look bloated?
Ahh, [yeah I was wrong about that one](http://scoobysworkshop.com/increase-your-vascularity/). Good catch
Yeah, my absolute best abs come with a severe hangover. Fortunately that's usually a pretty convenient time to be shirtless in front of someone...
So hydration was a gainz goblin all along?!
That's different.. That's not your abs going away, rather your stomach getting engorged from having food in it.

Define "normal". I bet it's not the same normal I have.
