How To Get A Body Like Robert Pattinson

Do we have any guys following the blog I wonder? Well if we do here's one for you! Or maybe some of the ladies might want to pass this onto their hubby's/BF's.

Do you want to find out how to go from this

Hee hee I couldn't help it

To This


Read on to find out how!

‘For The Twilight Saga: New Moon we wanted the vampires to look like supermodels and the werewolves to look brawny and rugged,’ says Nathan Mellalieu, the Canadian personal trainer who got Robert Pattinson (possibly the world's most lusted after actor), burly newcomer Taylor Lautner, and most of the other actors ready to play their supernatural roles in the film. Anyone who’s seen New Moon will know Mellalieu certainly achieved that goal, but how did he do it?

'When they came to Vancouver – where New Moon was filmed – some of the actors were fitter than others,' says Mellalieu. 'Kellan Lutz, who plays one of the most ripped vampires in the film, was already in good shape, but a few needed more attention. Everyone had a tailored routine that would keep them motivated and develop the parts of their body that needed work.

'My team only had a few weeks to get the cast ready before shooting began so we put them through three to four intense workouts per week. We tried to stick to this during the shoot so that each actor's look would be consistent throughout the film, but it was tricky because everyone had different shooting schedules.

'With Robert Pattinson we did lots of boxing drills, (Kate:Oh God the boxing talk again!) which helped created the lean, muscled look he has in New Moon. He has great hand speed and footwork and seemed to really enjoy the sessions. (Kate: Rob seriously you can't have any doubt in your mind that I love you but I can't help but giggle when I read about your footwork. I wonder why? Oh ya it might have something to do with THIS)
We also had all the actors doing functional exercises using little or no weight so they weren't bogged down with too much bulk and could move athletically when filming a stunt.'

If you want to get the ripped look of one of the vampires from the film, try these two quick workouts Mellalieu regularly did with those playing the undead. Do Workout A one day, Workout B the next, rest the following day, then repeat. That's one week of New Moon training. One session should comprise three rounds of each workout. Perform each round as quickly as possible, with a two-minute break between each one.

Workout A:
100 barbell jump squats (25 per cent of your one-rep max)
100 barbell shoulder presses (25 per cent of your one-rep max)
100 crunches

Workout B:
20 burpees (third move down on the link page) (Kate: Ok now I've got visions of Rob going around Burping 20 times. Sorry I don't have a clue what a burpee is but now I have the giggles again)
30 reverse crunches
40 jumping lunges
50 squats

  5. When that dude mentioned Rob's 'hand speed' I thought...'don't go there Nik. It's still too damn early in the day. Okay. It's 1:30 in the afternoon, but still.

    And I just had a thought...

    Do you think it's possible that those turned in feet are actually an indication of shyness? I was always under the impression that this was body language indicitive (sp) of that?

    Just curious.

  6. I am going to ignore the zygote pic and picture Rob boxing.

  8. Kate.... how could you. But yes, thank you for the second pic. Plus talk of boxing Rob gets me all hyper and giddy!

  9. Can't even read what you wrote, just looking at "grown-up" Rob and my favorite place on his body, the delicious treasure trail.

    FILTM!

  10. How come I'm the only one that doesn't have a problem with 'baby Rob?'

    I mean, okay, he once was a boy and now he's a man. If he still looked like that top photo and I was coming here on a daily basis to make an ass of myself over him, then yes, I could see how one might construe, that I had a problem.

    But if it's the man in the second photo that the boy has grown to be, that I come here to make an ass of myself over (and oh boy, do I) then...I got no problem (and there's not a court in the land that would convict me).

    Nope. Looking at 'baby Rob' doesn't give me the squicks at all. 'Cause he's not that baby no more.

  11. Everytime I see that zygote photo I think, 'That poor child!'

    Makes sense his foot-work and handwork would be good in fixed or small place. Get him to walk and move with that, though!
    Nik--no--he definitely has issues with gross motor skills, and eye/hand coordination in gross motor skills. Shyness may add to some awkwardness, but the turning in at the thigh is somethign else.

  12. Can anyone tell me WTF burpees are?? Seriously it has me giggling!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh--and we all know from Twilight what a problem he had with squats and lunges. Good to hear he got proper training from a proper trainer this time.

    ReplyDelete
  14. kate--it is sort of like a squat jumping jack; it is part of fitness exercises where you quickly go from one position to another, but on lower to floor exercises rather than upward like jumping jacks..

  38. @Dina –noun Biology.
    the cell produced by the union of two gametes, before it undergoes cleavage.

    or

    The single cell that results from fertilization of an ovum by a sperm. After dividing several times, it implants in the uterus. It continues to divide, producing more cells and passing through the stages of embryo and fetus.

    Breath-taking!

    ReplyDelete
  44. BAD KATE!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!! That pic is banned almost everywhere and for very good reason. No I have to go bleach my eyes again.

  46. Rob's got an amazing REAL GUY's body! None of that shaved chest fake pumped up sausage stuff going on, he's real in every aspect even his body type, and he's quite delicious as is. For those salivating over Kelan's shaved ass or Taylor sausage abs and biceps well the second pic beats all that shit...now top pic is just adorable 14? year old Rob lol cute but can't help but notice the little baby fat on the tummy...glad our little boy grew up to be quite the hunk in all departments...yummo Rob! *drools*

  47. @Jules - I love MotU and I used your link to read the interview. Thank you for posting it. The interview was great, too short, but great.

  48. The thing is...

    I don't want to get a body 'like' Robert Pattinson's. I want that EXACT body.

    At my house.

    At midnight.

    In my bedroom.

    Naked.


    Nuff said.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yup, what Nik said;) I love Rob's body, it's leanly muscled and natural looking. He doesn't look like he spends hours in the gym, obsessed with his body. I love his body hair; that waxed thing on men? don't like it, at all. I want to feel a little extra friction with all the body action;)...ok, enough with the NB thoughts, gotta go play sainted teacher.

  50. "he has great handspeed" *naughty, naughty thoughts*

    good "foot work"?!:D *snorts and looks at wonky legs*

    @ Gwen "...(possibly the world's most lusted after actor)...". Possibly? Are they joking? Proven fact. ; ) *resounding "hell, yeah!*

  55. Rob mentioned in the article about Canadian fitness trainer Harley Pasternak: "The Hollywood machine kicked into gear. He appeared on Oprah. Orlando Bloom called. So did Jessica Simpson. Brendan Fraser wanted in, as did Seth Rogen, Katherine Heigl, Robert Pattinson, Hilary Duff, and Miley Cyrus."
