How Ryan Reynolds Gets A Superhero Body

I got a special gift for my subscribers, but really- this is about getting a hot body.

Ryan Reynolds is starring in one of the most popular Rated-R movies ever- Deadpool:

But it’s not the first time he’s played a super hero,

He had some great weirdo hero body in Green Lantern (even though, why did he do all that work if they were just gonna CGI the whole thing anyway?) and if you can remember Blade 3, he was pretty JACKED up in that too.

So, in one crazy three-month burst, he worked out 6 days a week, ate 3,200 calories a day, and gained 25 pounds of muscle.

That’s a lot.

I’ll show you the workout in a minute, but if you’re going to gain quality muscle, you need a high-quality protein that doesn’t spike your sugar levels like BioTrust Low-Carb Whey Protein.

And guess what?

My friends Joel & Josh from world-renowned BioTrust Nutrition told me they wanted to reward the first 250 of my readers to visit the link below with a FREE 150-gram container of their award-winning, incredibly delicious metabolism-boosting protein, BioTrust Low Carb… with ZERO strings attached! This means after you receive your FREE container, NOTHING more will ever be sent to you, or charged to you, in the future.
 
 

ABS

Every workout begins with a 20-minute ab workout. Here is a sample circuit. Do one of each set, then repeat 4 times:

SET 1

Exercise Reps
Decline Bench situps* 15-20
Hanging leg lifts 15-20
Wood chops on cable 15-20
 

 

 

*Use a 10-lb plate held behind the head.

 

SET 2

Exercise Reps
Swiss Ball crunches 15-20
Decline Bench Body Bar twists* 15-20
The Wheel from Knees** 15-20

 

 

 

*As you come up, twist the bar to your right side then go back, but only extend about 45 degrees, and come up and twist the bar to the left side. if you don’t have a weighted bar, you can hold 7-lb dumbbells in each hand next to your head

**Extend all the way out as far as you can with a one-second pause. return to the top. Doing this from the knees takes pressure off the lower back.

HEAVY LOWER-BODY DAY

Exercise Sets Reps
Walking lunges* 3-4 52

*45-pound dumbbells in each hand, 26 paces down, 26 paces up.

HEAVY UPPER-BODY DAY

Exercise Sets Reps
Flat Bench 3 15-20
Incline Bench 3 15-20

MATRIX DAY

More stability and core work to let the muscles recuperate. “i incorporate a lot of plyometrics, TRX [suspension training], BOSU, bands, kickboxing, yoga,” Strom says of his client’s routine, “so his body doesn’t acclimate and his mind doesn’t become stale.”

FAQ:

 

Q.  Do I need to speak Italian to go on this trip?

A.  No.  All classes/workshops will be conducted in English, and we will have english speaking guides on all excursions who can also act as interpreters as needed.

 

Q.  Is there a payment plan for this program, or do I need to pay everything when I register?

A.  If needed, you can make payments in 4 installments.  If you pay when you register, you can elect to pay with a credit card via PayPal, with cash, with a check, or with a cashiers check.  If you elect to make payments, you need to submit post-dated checks with your “Actor Enrollement & Travel Agreement” as outlined in the agreement.

 

Q.  I can’t find the “Actor Enrollment & Travel Agreement” that I need to fill out & send in to complete my registration.  How can I get one?

A.  Easy.  Either search your email for the confirmation email you received after registration & follow the link OR, if that doesnt work, email accounting@csatl.com and a PDF will be emailed to you.  After that, print it, fill it out, and mail to Creative Studios of Atlanta; 274 North Main Street, Studio A; Alpharetta, GA 30009

 

Q.  Can I bring a companion to the program who does not want to take the acting intensive?

A.  Non-participating companions are welcome to join you on this adventure and a minimun of 1 is required for participants who are younger than 18 years old.  We have created a package specifically for actor’s companions.  Companions can register on our website or via a link on the constant contact email.  All rooms are based upon double occupancy, so we will place Actors & their companion in the same room.  If you need a room that accomodates a family of more than 2 people, please email accounting@csatl.com for more information.  

 

Q.  Can I come earlier, or stay longer if I want to travel in Italy or Europe before or after the retreat?  

A.  Yes.  Since the flight is not included, you can do whatever you want.  Monday, June 13 is a travel day.  The program in Cortona begins with our “Welcome Wine Reception”  on Tuesday, June 14, 2016.  You may arrive and/or leave on your own via the Venice airport or another location via bus, car, or train & bus (the train does not arrive directly in Cortona).  Florence, the city from which the group transport departs from; is beautiful, rich in art and history, and is worth exploring.  A common comment made by participants who did not spend time in Florence is that they wish they had arrived a bit early and spent time there.

 

Q.  Do I have to meet you at the airport in Florence, or can I meet you in Cortona?  Likewise, do I have to go to Florence with the group after the retreat ends?

A.  You do not need to meet us at the airport, nor do you need to return to the Florence airport from Cortona; but there is only 1 group transportation provided, and that is to/from the airport.  Any travel not desribed in the inclusions is not part of the cost of the program, and would be the participants responsibility.  In the past, there have been a few late flights, and the group transportation can’t wait, so we do suggest arriving in Florence early in the morning, or a day early to avoid missing the group transport.  A bus from the heart of Florence to the airport is currently 6E, and a taxi is 20E.

 

Q.  What happens if I miss the group transport to Cortona?

A.  You will receive specific instructions at the orientation outlining how to arrive in Cortona on your own via taxi, bus, and/or train and the fees involved for each mode of transportation.  Also, at the orientation, you will be asked to sign a form indicating if you would like a CSA representative to wait for you in Florence & accompany you to Cortona with the understanding that you would be responsible for all fees incurred for their food/transportation/lodging, or if you would feel comfortable arranging your own transportation without the help of a CSA representative if you miss the group transportation.

 

Q.  Can I alter any part of the package?

A.  The package is a group package and the prices have been discounted to a group rate; however; you may elect not eat the group meals and/or to not attend any or all of the group excursions if you choose.  

 

Q.  If I have food allergies, can you accomodate my needs?

A.  If you notify us well in advance of any food allergies, we will do our best to accomodate your needs while offering the best variety we can in the meals you will eat.  Tuscn food is world renowned for their fresh ingredients and amazing flavors.  Please, be considerate of our hosts & their culture and introduce yourself to the wonder of Tuscan cooking.  We appreciate you limiting your special requests to true food allergies.

 

Q.  Why are all breakfasts & Lunches included, but dinners aren’t?  Why didn’t you make it “All-Inclusive”?

A.  Like the rest of Tuscany, and Italy for that matter, the food is phenomenal and we feel that you should be able to experience multiple venues of your choice in addition to the food we provide to you.  We also believe that you need time for yourself that is not group time; and the evenings are a wonderful time to explore the area and do some personal refelction.  In this way, you are free to choose when you eat, when you explore, and when you practice your craft.

Did You Know Jim Carrey Did This?

You may have heard this story before, but before
he became “Jim Carrey”, he was another struggling, broke
actor trying to get known…
 
Then he learned about this special exercise that 
ATTRACTED wealth and success to him.
 
One of his exercises is in

What else can you do if you want to prepare your mind for
success and happiness?I told you about this “Hollywood Mind Doctor” yesterday,

but for all of the skeptics about “Mind Power”, there’s a
great FREE REPORT about the Science of Focus. 
 
I am a fan of Dr. Steve Jones, and have a bunch of his books
and recordings, but I figured that this free report would be a good
primer in case you don’t know about the power of your mind.
 

[tweet_box design=”default”]

So many times, it’s not about your talent, or your look,
but about your OWN BELIEF IN YOURSELF that makes the difference.

[/tweet_box]

 
I do my best to get PUMPED UP and get into a DIFFERENT STATE
whenever I am going to do something because it helps get results.
 
Jim Carrey used to sit overlooking Mulholland Drive, with his hands
wide open, doing the exercise to FEEL INSPIRED and bring himself
the wealth and success he KNEW he deserved.
 
Are you doing that? Me either!
 
Maybe I’ll add that one to my pre-bed routine! 
 
 
My resolution this year is to listen to an audio EVERY DAY
before I go to bed, and so far, I have done it!
 
What about you?

Hollywood Clients Pay This Doctor Up To $25,000 For This Job

No, it’s not for Boob Jobs
 
No, it’s not for Nose Jobs.
 
 
Thing is, I totally heard about this guy before because…
I have bought a BUNCH of his stuff already!
 
I found out about him by myself, but then I heard about
his office in Hollywood, and I was like “I know that guy!”
 
Sometimes people ask what habits lead to success
and happiness and all of that, but without THIS, it can
be difficult.
 
 
I know, I know,- it’s cheesy to hear, but I had a Resolution
this year and so far, I’ve followed his advice EVERY NIGHT.
 
And I’m getting the results I wanted!
 
 
And I took notes and took it seriously.
When you want something, you’re willing to DO
the things that make it work.
It’s all about the Neuroscience.
This Dr. helps people get their mind focused on wealth,
success, prosperity, happiness, and whatever else the client wants.
Because the KEY to life is in directing your mind right.
The problem is that most of us do things UNCONSCIOUSLY,
and therefore we get UNCONSCIOUS results.
I got tired of the results I was getting, so I was willing to invest
my time and money in learning the things I needed to learn and DO
the things I needed to do- and I am still doing them now.
If you’d like to learn more about how this Dr. can do a BRAIN JOB for you:
– Enjoy!
 
Are you?

This Indian Woman Married This Chinese Man Without Telling Their Co-op Board. So Why Am I Laughing So Much?

In New York City, real estate is expensive and coop boards have a lot of judgmental, unregulated power. 

And now a mid-thirties Indian woman has to choose between her new sexy Chinese husband, and her teeny-tiny New York City co-op with a Washer Dryer.

Now before you go and judge that her decision should be obvious, let me tell you something else:

He’s really a great guy, with a steady job, and he “gets” her.

And if you are a single, Indian actress in her thirties in New York City, and actually had the wherewithal to scrape together enough money to fake your way through some co-op board meetings to be accepted-

This is a tough choice.

It also makes for a silly, fun, and unexpectedly hilarious new play “Washer/Dryer”, running for only 3 weeks at The Beckett Theatre on 42nd Street until February 20th.

GET TICKETS HERE

If it’s so great, why is it only running for 3 weeks?

Because it’s about an Indian Actress, her Shanghainese husband, his mother, her gay best friend, and the crazy coop board president lady.

Exactly who is this play for?.

When my friend told me to go see it, I was like:

“Attention New York Chinese and/or Indian Theatregoers in your 30s: Your Rom-Com is finally here!”

I did not expect to like this farcical play as much as I did, and I would never have seen it if it weren’t for my friend insisting we go.

At only an hour and 15 minutes, it was such a delight to see a play that knew it was silly, that knew it’s characters walked the line between real and caricatures, and yet said a lot about our 21st century relationships without being on a soap box.

(Pun Intended.)

I am part of a mixed-race marriage myself (I’m puerto-Rican and Cuban from New York, my wife is Swedish from Seattle!), and found some great similarities between this couple’s challenges and my own.

I read some reviews that were fantastic examples of white guilt gone too far. One reviewer saw a stereotype in the Chinese mother where my Asian friends saw a wonderfully understanding and contemporary portrait of a funny character.

-She isn’t white-washed, so she’s a stereotype?

People have different cultures, and different ways of thinking about things, and expressing those differences isn’t stereotyping.

The entire show was very “tongzi ji-in-cheek”.

But MUCH better than that joke- I swear.

Especially since only the Chinese people reading this get that one.

The play’s jokes land with great timing, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many unexpected laughs I found myself having.

The entire show is a call back to classic farce; with misunderstandings, characters popping in and out, and hiding-in-plain-sight gags.

Classic, but with a modern flair for the multi-cultured 21st century mixed-race audience.

[tweet_box design=”default”]Dear second-generation Indian and Chinese Americans who live in NYC, this woman just wrote your play! All 10 of you should see it.[/tweet_box]

This blog is dedicated to helping actors become entrepreneurs, and part of what I talk about is creating your own work and learning to SELL IT to a specific audience.

The playwright Nandita Shenoy is already an accomplished writer, but in this New York production by the Mayi theatre company, she acts in it too, showing us that she can be on both sides of the stage.

She is also smart enough to know that even though anyone in New York would enjoy this show very much (Did I mention I’m Puerto-Rican and Cuban?), she knows better than to think that the “Buried Child” crowd will come see her show, as posted on her facebook page

I So, if you’ve ever wanted to see a NYC Rom-Com for the 21st Century with belly-laugh performances, and familiar-yet-fresh ideas, go see “Washer/Dryer” now.

Also, if you’re an Indian woman or Chinese man in New York City and want to see a play about what would happen if you married one of the other despite your co-p board rules, your mohter, and her gay best friend)

So first- SHARE THIS POST:
