Fitness enthusiasts and online critics are once again scrutinizing Hollywood actor Alan Ritchson’s fitness routine. Ritchson, renowned for his transformation for the show, Reacher, has stirred negative reactions among the bodybuilding community.
In a recent YouTube video shared by Men’s Health, Ritchson disclosed his workout regimen, stating that he hits the gym for a mere 20 to 30 minutes, five days a week. This declaration has ignited a firestorm of skepticism online, with netizens questioning the authenticity of his fitness journey.
Additionally, some pointed out disparities in Ritchson’s previous statements, where he allegedly stated training for 30 to 40 minutes per session. Addressing his workout frequency, Ritchson emphasized, “I work out five days a week. If I need to skip a day and hit a Saturday.” He continued and revealed, “I try to keep it Monday through Friday so I have time to recover. I don’t spend a ton of time in the gym. 20-30 minutes tops.”

However, his abbreviated gym sessions have raised eyebrows, with critics questioning the effectiveness of such brief workouts in achieving his chiseled physique. In the video snippet, Ritchson defended his approach, citing the importance of minimizing “wear and tear” on the body while still maintaining fitness gains.
He advocates for shorter, more efficient workouts, allowing for adequate recovery time between sessions. Despite Ritchson’s insistence on the efficiency of his workout strategy, many individuals remain skeptical, raising concerns about the potential use of performance-enhancing substances.
Netizens doubt the authenticity of Alan Ritchson’s claim
One person creatively slammed Ritchson by using a viral trend, “Answer to: ‘Tell me you’re on the juice without telling me you’re on the juice.'” People accused him of using trenbolone to assist with his short 20-minute workouts. “He has the 7-day tren to help aide his 20-minute workouts,” asserted one user.

Another fitness enthusiast sarcastically exclaimed, “He ain’t lying, I used to work out an hour, maybe hour and a half, results came slow. Then I switched to 30 minutes of HIGH intensity, I blew up fast.”
