Can I get cut, toned, and ripped like Matthew McConaughey from doing this workout in three months?
My goal is to have as close to the body type of Matthew McConaughey as possible by the end of this summer (end of August 2009). Over this past Christmas season, I was weighing in at 235 pounds at a height of 6 foot 2 and a half. I’m 20 years old and I am a former athlete. I went off to college and stopped playing sports so I gained a little weight (I was never more than 200 pounds in high school, but I never worked out with weight training either, I just played hockey). I realized over Christmas break that I wanted to look like Matthew McConaughey, so I purchased the P90X home fitness program and did that over the period of three months during this past spring semester. I lost about 25 pounds in those 3 months and have lost roughly 7 more pounds since I finished the program back in April. I am currently 203 pounds and I still do some of the workouts from P90X every week and I have put more emphasis on cardio workouts now to try to burn off the rest of the fat on my stomach.
I’m currently running 2 miles 5 to 6 days a week and I do a 200 to 250 combined total pushup workout with various hand widths and techniques straight out of the Chest & Back P90X DVD once or twice a week depending on how my muscles feel and I do a similar shoulders and arms workout routine with several sets of slightly high weight lifting with 8 to 10 reps, but so many sets of different techniques that it becomes a high-rep burnout workout as well (P90X philosophies again). Plus I do abs three separate days a week. I follow a pretty strict no sweets, low carb, high vegetable & protein diet that never exceeds 2400 calories in a day.
If I continue this same regiment for the rest of the summer, totaling in at three overall months, will I be able to achieve the same build as Matthew McConaughey?
PS- I have just ordered a thermogenic fat-burning pill bottle with a month and a half supply that I plan to add to the regiment. It’s called VPX Meltdown and I’ve heard several good user reviews and no bad rumors, plus there’s good scientific studies to back it’s fat-burning potential… Would you think this could help or hinder my progress in any way? I just seem to have a hard time getting the slight thin layer of thicker skin and partial fat off of my abs, obliques, and lower back. Everywhere else is well on its way to becoming relatively ripped, its just that mid section that refuses to pick up the pace. Any recommendations? Thanks!
