If you want to build muscle and get defined in just one month, then pay close attention to this article. Because I’m going to reveal a proven method used by Hollywood actors who needed to get in shape quickly for movie roles in the 1960s.
Picture this:
The year is 1961. You are a great producer of Hollywood movies. He’s scheduled to start filming his next blockbuster in less than 30 days, but he’s got a big problem on his hands.
Its lead actor, the star of the movie, is a mess. He has been drinking every night and chasing anything in a skirt at all hours of the night for the past 6 months. As a result, he looks like hell. 20 pounds overweight, no muscles, and dark circles under his eyes.
You need to get him into silver screen form, and fast. What do you do for a living?
Well, in 1961, the obvious move would be to pick up the phone and call Vince Gironda. He was a grumpy guy and you didn’t like the idea of making that call. But you knew that Gironda would have your leading man in rock-solid condition before the month was out.
How did Vince manage to transform flabby, out-of-shape actors into movie stars in just 30 days?
Here is his 3 part strategy. You can use this yourself if you want to pack on muscle blocks and lose weight fast.
Rule #1) Eat a high fat diet.
Vince was one of the first to recommend eating large amounts of fat while drastically reducing your carb intake. This causes dramatic weight loss for most people when used as a short-term approach. Vince advised eating unlimited amounts of meat and eggs with no carbs for 4 days.
Rule #2) Eat a low-fat, high-carb meal every 4 days.
To maintain muscle glycogen levels, Vince recommended a high-carbohydrate meal every 4 days.
Rule #3) Do the 8×8 workout.
This training is brutal, but the results are incredible. For this workout, you will select one exercise and perform 8 sets of 8 repetitions. Here’s the real trick: You only rest 15-30 seconds between sets. As you can imagine, your muscles will be screaming after a few minutes.
Tip: Vince actually advised students to do TWO breaths between each rep to prolong the set and help keep the intensity up.
Choose 2-4 exercises per body part and shoot to finish your workout in less than 45 minutes. You will train 4 days a week.
Consider the following division:
Monday:
Chest (3 -4 exercises done by 8×8.)
Biceps (3 exercises done by 8×8)
Forearms (2-3 exercises done by 8×8)
Tuesday:
Triceps (3-4 exercises done by 8×8.)
Shoulders (3 exercises done for 8×8)
wednesday: off
Thursday:
Back (4-5 exercises done for 8×8)
Abdominals (2-3 exercises)
Friday:
Quads: (3 exercises done for 8×8)
Hamstrings: (3 exercises done by 8×8)
Calves: (5 exercises, each done for a series of 20 repetitions).
Sat: Off
Sun: Off
Repeat for 4 weeks.
If you’re looking to make a dramatic physical transformation in the next 4 weeks, the Gironda 8×8 workout combined with a high-fat, low-carb diet can certainly get the job done.
