Discover how funny man Ryan Reynolds went from thin and lanky to a yoked action star

. Learn what Ryan had to do in order to transform his body and how you can copy that exact work out.

If you want to have a lean and fit body with prominent biceps and triceps, and washboard abs, then you should take some tips from Hollywood's very own party animal, Van Wilder star Ryan Reynolds. He was just another Hollywood entrant with average looks consisting of a good height, blonde hair and lanky appearance. However, his role in the 2004 action movie Blade Trinity, he needed to change his body type into one that would make the audience believe him in his character.

This is where changes started appearing in Ryan Reynolds' workout regime. He needed to stop being the thin, average teen star and transform into an action hero. The first step to accomplish this feat involved gaining a good amount of muscle to his body. This would take care of his lanky, thin look. Hence, Reynolds gained 20 pounds of muscle mass on his body in five months. However, this was not the only thing he did. He made sure that his body fat count was as low as 3%, when he had 11% of it to begin with.

Therefore, for all you lost souls out there who think that achieving a lean body is impossible should concentrate on the details of Ryan Reynolds' workout routine which he undertook before shooting for Blade Trinity.

His fitness regime included a balanced diet concentrating mainly on protein intake. He followed this diet stringently for the five months that he took to transform his body. However, there was no way he could have achieved the body that he did by the end of it without an equally effective workout plan.

Reynolds' personal trainer planned his workout for him. The basic strategy followed by Ryan Reynolds' workout routine was to concentrate on toning a particular area of the body on each day. This made the training more intensive. Reynolds concentrated mainly on his lower abdominal muscles as that was the hardest to tone. This is the case with all men. Reynolds placed an exercise ball between his legs and then performed leg crunches, with his back to the floor and his hands on the side for balance.

He also performed an astronomical 1000 ab crunches each day.

Another indispensable detail in Ryan Reynolds' workout was his meals. In order to gain just enough muscle mass without gaining additional fat, Reynolds ate over 6 small meals a day. He mixed carbohydrates with proteins like meat, fruits and liquids all as part of his diet. He also supplemented his diet with whey protein shakes and multivitamins.

Reynolds points out that the most common mistake that people make while trying to gain a fitter body is not pay attention to the food they put into their mouth. Expecting the body to take care of any kind of food just by "burning it out" in the gym is not the way.
