Troy Workout to get ripped

Brad Pitt Troy Workout

Pitt has several nude scenes in Troy and confirms "that's my butt. After working that hard to get my body in shape, I wasn't about to ask for a butt double."
Director Petersen says it was Pitt who suggested the nude scenes.

"Brad came to me and suggested we do the nude scenes. He said he worked so long on sculpting his body that it was time to show it. He'd really done his research and explained it was part of the whole Greek myth of the human body."

In order for Brad Pitt to get ready for the role in the movie Troy, He dropped cigarettes and sharply cut back on beer and chips, although he did allow himself the occasional treat: McFlurry shakes from McDonald's, "though it was more for a little taste of home, you know, a little Americana."
Brad used a low-carb, high-protein diet during the training for his role. Physically, Pitt prepared for the role with a year of intense training. "The first three months were daunting and not fun at all." His days included two to three hours in the gym, two additional hours of sword work and four high-protein, low-carb meals. As a result, he gained about 10 pounds of brawn.
