From strict diets to intense workout regimens, bodybuilders dedicate their lives to achieving and maintaining an exceptional physique. But while bodybuilding has long been associated with sacrifices and discipline, popular fitness icon and actor Alan Ritchson doesn’t feel the same way. The 40-year-old has recently grabbed the limelight with his unconventional approach to fitness and diet. In a recent interview, the Hollywood actor revealed that his daily routine allows him to indulge in his favorite foods without guilt.

According to a recent Instagram post by “Will Fitness Hub,” Alan Ritchson follows a moderation-based diet, allowing himself to eat whatever he wants. In a podcast with Rich Eisen, he even proudly admitted to enjoying a slice of pizza whenever he desired and indulging in a giant sundae at dinner with his agent. While this approach may seem unconventional, Ritchson argues that his overall lifestyle of health and fitness allows him this flexibility.

Fans had a hard time understanding Alan Ritchson’s opinion

The Reacher star’s recent claim has not been bought by the fitness community. Many enthusiasts are having a tough time believing that someone can achieve such an exceptional physique without adhering to a strict regimen. Fans flooded the comment section of the video, expressing their skepticism and urging Ritchson to be honest and not make unfounded claims. “Dude is pretending like he didn’t do crazy roids to get to that size lmao”, a fan wrote. 

One factor that drew particular attention was Ritchson’s mention of taking additional testosterone. This revelation made fans speculate that his physique may result from performance-enhancing hormones. “300lbs of “American Muscle”…fueled on “Mexican Supplements”, a fan wrote. “Although a bit of testosterone helps’ …… yes every day is a cheat day”, another added.

Challenging stereotypes and embracing individuality in fitness

While Ritchson did not elaborate on the details or purpose of his testosterone use, the mere mention of it fueled further doubts and criticism. “Just stop lying”, a fan wrote. “30-45mins for a resistance training workout is laughable”, another fan commented. 

It serves as a reminder that there is no one definitive path to achieving a remarkable physique and that individual experiences and methods can greatly vary.
