James Bond Workout vs Fight Club Workout

What Type of Workout Would James Bond Do?

Have you seen Daniel Craig's famous swimsuit scene in Casino Royale. Well if you have, you would realize that he has instantly become the new male role model when it comes to a fit and toned body. Seven years before the most recent James Bond flick was Fight Club. In Fight Club, Brad Pitt set the standard for the ideal male physique. While Brad Pitt looked amazing in Fight Club, I would say that Daniel Craig may have set the new standard for men to shoot for. Daniel had a bit more muscle than Brad, but Brad was a bit more toned. Brad's Fight Club Workout most likely consisted of considerably more cardio than Daniel's. If I was to to teach someone to look like Brad, they would only spend 25% of their time on lifting and the rest on cardio. Daniel's workout was most likely a 50/50 split between cardio and lifting.

The James Bond Workout Eating Schedule

James Bond is packing a bit more muscle than Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt's Character)did in Fight Club. When Daniel Craig was interviewed about his diet before Casino Royale, he said he was on a high protein diet. Brad Pitt was on the Zone Diet, before Fight Club. The Zone Diet recommends that 30% of daily caloric intake comes from protein. For the James Bond workout, I would bump that number up to 50% and cut back on carbs and fat a bit.

James Bond Should Eat More Calories Than Tyler Durden

Brad Pitt was absolutely ripped in Fight Club. Judging by the sharpness of his abs and facial definition, I would say that he was around a body fat percentage of 4-6%. Daniel Craig was most likely around 8% body fat for Casino Royale. James Bond has it easy compared to Tyler Durden! Daniel got to eat quite a bit more than Brad could in preparing for his movie role. While Daniel most likely ate the standard 6 meals a day, I doubt that Brad got away with more than 3-4 super low calorie meals. James Bond had a more sustainable and realistic body in Casino Royale.

The James Bond Workout Would Use Moderate Cardio

In order to get down below 6% body fat like Tyler Durden, you need to really concentrate on High Intensity Interval Training to naturally increase your HGH levels. In addition to that, you need to perform moderate cardio for longer periods of time. For the James Bond Workout, you probably will be able to skip the High Intensity Interval Cardio. To maintain 8% body fat, you can get away with sticking to the traditional moderate intensity cardio for 30-45 minutes or so after each workout. In the James Bond Workout, you will only need to add High Intensity Cardio, if you reach a sticking point in burning body fat.
