‘Fight Club’ was a commercial flop when it was first released back in 1999, but since then it’s developed into arguably one of the most loved cult movies of all time.

I mean yeah, it doesn’t look THAT hard but I doubt I’m gonna run out and do it tomorrow and get as ripped as Brad Pitt in that movie. I’d probably just give up after one day to be honest – just saying that it might be pretty brutal and bland, but it’s definitely achievable if you want to put the time and effort into looking like that. The diet would probably be the hardest thing.
