The famous American actor who made his debut through the movie Smallville, Alan Ritchson, has always been followed as a fitness icon by several people in the fitness as well as the entertainment world. Now that his jacked physique from his latest action series Reacher is getting the spotlight, Ritchson made it to the cover page of Men’s Health.

The 41-year-old actor, who hardly looks his age, had previously made it public how he had been on Testosterone Replacement Therapy [TRT] before. Following that revelation, his honesty was praised by many in the community. In fact, no one disregards how the body he built has some of his own credits as well, because TRT for people with low testosterone helps them to regain normalcy, and then they grow from there on their own.

Men’s Health’s latest issue for March/April features the Reacher actor’s lifestyle. It does not only cover his professional life as an actor with ups and downs, but it also reveals a little of his personal life and fitness. In the caption of their Instagram post, Men’s Health wrote, “Hollywood told @alanritchson that actors don’t break past 30. But he kept working, and at 41, after decades of near misses and tiny roles, the #Reacher star is busting out.”

It is almost impossible to believe how the jacked physique of Ritchson had to go through several failed auditions, which included auditioning for the MCU’s Thor. The issue also covers how Ritchson stays fit despite being in his 40s, as well as having to struggle with his bipolar disorder. Ritchson had also revealed tidbits about his diet, which he claimed to take almost every hour or so.

When the fitness community witnessed Ritchson on the cover of Men’s Health, they talked about how his TRT could be a reason for his build, yet they also praised him for his honesty and transparency about the same.

Fitness celebrates Ritchson’s physique

Let us look at some of the mixed reactions that fans left under the post featuring Ritchson:

One of the fans pointed out how Ritchson’s physique is as it is because of TRT. They mentioned, “Testosterone therapy is how he did it. No big secret. He comes out and says it in a lot of his interviews.”

Someone else also added, “Just 400mg of Test per week!”

Yet another fan also commented on how he might get cast as the new Terminator. “If they were waiting for a new Terminator, this is him.”

Another fan stated, “It’s funny how they said “finally” as if he wasn’t jacked back in his Thad Castle days lol.”

Someone else explained how getting TRT does not mean that it is the only reason one gets jacked, “Let’s get this straight. If your body is producing low testosterone and you take testosterone to get it to “normal” levels, you still have to work your ass off to get the physique he has. It doesn’t just magically make it easy or magically help him a ton, especially if he was below normal to start.”
