[@camilorios7821]

This is by far the best "Train like" video you have. Glen Powell and his PT clearly knows their stuff. No fancy machines, no dumb movements, just a smart superset with amazing compounded exercises and a lot of tears... loved it!

[@menshealthmag]

So glad you enjoyed!

I personally, love the honesty of how much all that working out sucks. He actually looks sweaty and tired at the end too. Good job people.

[@szn1580]

Facts Lmao

[@d1vin1ty]

I love how people jump to "must have used steroids" to try to explain away that these people are putting in 2-3 hours of intense gym work every day with extremely efficient personal trainers and gutted diets specifically tailored to put on muscle. Does that mean they don't? No. But given that these are very realistically achievable results in a few months when your JOB is putting on muscle there's no reason to jump to that conclusion.

[@mpownage4806]

Top Gun Maverick showed how a sequel should be done.

[@delrey874]

The movie is a masterpiece and Glen Powell did a great job 👏 I hope he has an even bigger career ahead of him.

[@adsadjashdb]

Hangman role is the best in this movie after Pete Maverick

[@apollobernet]

He nailed the role and this movie calls for a prequel. Rooster, Hangman, Phoenix and the rest set the stage for more movies.

[@harris9446]

He’s awesome in “Everybody Wants Some”

[@jmgonzales7701]

@José David Cortes Garay its fake

[@tim72184]

The ropes are a gimmick. Pushups on rings are just an inefficient bench press. Oh, and did I mention steroids? Steroids.

[@b.t.356]

Glen seems like such a funny, genuine, awesome person. I was absolutely blown away with how excellently he performed as Hangman. Absolute masterpiece acting skills display there. Can't wait to watch his next film around Thanksgiving time. This motivated me to get back into my workout habits haha.

Really great workout. I did a workout very much like this for approximately 10 years and then another workout (maintenance) for another 10. Except for a bit of weight around the middle, it has served me well. I'm 75 y.o. and get compliments on what shape I'm still in.

[@stopstalkingyouspookybastard]

@Anand Laishram those guys are chubby and lazy. best way to train is the way track athletes train. out there in open air, exposed to elements, focused on movement of human body and the lifting of heavy stuff. we are mammals of endurance, not strenght.
