There weren't avocados in Viking's time but I am sure they could love them and remember that they traveled and trade with people far from North to Mediterranean or even Africa so they were use to exotic food as well.
@@connorkenway09 I know it. That's my point. But I sure even Vikings could like avocados as well. By the way, I was born in Cuba but I live in Stockholm, Sweden. 😊
Loved the movie. With that said, you definitely have to eat a lot of trenboloni sandwiches to get to where Alex was in the movie + long hours in the gym
Imo, he likely was on some amount of test just because of the short time frame for prep. But his physique is nothing too crazy, definitely attainable with some time.
So by listening to you at 01:30 and looking the workout you show Alex doing and at the header that claims "20 pounds of muscle" i'd say you didn't mention all the steriods you had him inject in his ass aswell. That's disingenuous. A teenager who starts training when he hits puberty could do that, not a 40 year old man. There is no fucking way an already grown man (who is not, let's say malnutritioned and underweght to the point of Christian Bale in the Machinist) packs on 20 pounds of muscle in 3-6 months unless he also gained an addition 100 pounds of fat at the same time too. That's just how the body works. It's more likley that he gained 10 pounds and maybe 5 of those could have been lean muscle mass. Otherwise he's jucing steriods like it's water.
@@grahammartin4592 if they atöeast showed clips of him squating, deadlifting and pressing heavy as weight they'd make it half believable atleast. But here he's curling and doing fucking yoga and some shit. Guess it will

Saw this movie with my husband and 18 yo nephew. I think it is super impressive that Alex looks not a day older than when I used to watch him in True Blood 😂 on the contrary he looks even better today! It's good to have the reminder of how much time and effort this process takes. And I love the variety and colorful foods, dispel that chicken and broccoli myth!
@@mitchy3438 It's funny because I was gonna say, my nephew's first comment was a dismissive, "they're all probably on anabolics anyway" Yeah I know that window, but did he really gain 30 lbs of muscle in 6 months? Not all lean body mass is muscle, for one. He's always been pretty fit and I wonder how much of the visual bulk was makeup and camera angles/lighting and making sure you have a pump etc. I want a Greg Doucette natty or not video tbh lol but truly the point to *me* is, it still takes an incredible amount of effort, and the right diet balance, even with great genetics and "alleged" PED usage.
This movie encouraged me to get into the gym. 😂 The sheer dedication is awe inspiring. I work from home and am just tired of feeling like crap every day. Here's to the journey!
Magnus works with some incredible people who’s job it is to look the way they do so it’s so refreshing (and honestly a privilege!) to have him talk about what goes into it but make for everyone. He makes it something I can use and, use forever! Appreciate it Magnus 🙏
All those saying shit on vikingr, let me clarify some things 1. Vikingr was a Profession not race. They were traders, merchants,hunters and warriors. 2. They traveled the world. They found the America's hundreds of years before Columbus did.
You don’t need to have those things to get fit. I do home workout and eat less junk food and after a few months im starting to get shredded. It’s so worth it and it’s not as hard as I thought it would be.
This movie was brilliant. Really different and true to itself. I expect it'll also encourage at lot of folk but mainly men get in shape which is great 👍
I like your videos and your minimalistic and simple approach to dieting. Would you please make a video about a cutting phase of the diet. Picture of Alexander looks miserable is hilarious.
Fellow Swede here living in Charleston,Sc. You did not mention how much and what he drank during a day. Also not mentioning of having anything to eat after dinner. Me personally are hungry around 8-9 at night. 3 hours after having dinner. Usually having fruit or. A protein shake with a banana. I am 52, working out 5-6 days/week at the gym. Signing up for your app. Need structure when eating. :-)
It's the exact behind the scene people need to understand. Love the fact the we know to several month are needed to built, and after to cut/shred and maintain the result we want. After almost 10 month begind me I start to see resut.
I really hate when people call actors huge and jacked... number 1, camera angles, lighting and effects. Number 2 they pump up between takes. These 2 things are how actors look good during films
Great stuff as always Magnus. How many hours of combat training or stunt training was Alex doing in addition to the training? He looked fantastic in the movie, just like a badass Viking.
As a dietitian I do appreciate how up front this is! Nutrition is extremely complex with many factors but you explain everything you do without going into too much depth for the average person. Kudos!
@@jpm5999 I didnt say I believed or didnt believe anything. I only stated I liked how he didnt try to go into depth about what he was doing leading to more confusion on the listeners part. A lot of influencers or other people online tend to go into way too much depth regarding what they are doing for various good or bad reasons and all it does is lead to confusion. I liked how that was not done.
Magnus. I loved your advice. I was very ripped but way to thin. Turns out after watching you, i was starving myself. I am not a big eater and therefor i need to eat food with higher calories.
He's such a good actor...if anyone hasn't seen "Straw Dogs" with him, Kate bosworth, James Marsden and James woods you should give it a watch....I know it's a remake but I really enjoyed it
that diet looks delicious. Ill defenently try some of the recipies. its time to spice up my diet. almost everyday meat and rice/hamburgers its not very good. the options shown in this video look much healthier 👍
3-4 years ago, i wouldn’t have put on weight the way i did if i had followed the Magnus Method. Unfortunately, back then, i hadn’t heard about Magnus yet. I made bad food choices that i regret today (white bread at every meal, sandwiches twice a day at work followed by a 3-course dinner at home), my eating plan had no structure, and now i’m struggling to get rid of that weight. I’m lucky though because at least now i know, for the rest of my life, how and what i should eat to at least not gain any more weight
Amazing video！ But I am confused about the amount of the carbs. The number 450g carbs is the whole amount of the sources or the pure carbohydrates？ For me, I am About 85kg, so how much carbs should I intake if I wanna buliking?
Question Mr. Magnus: I break my workout into 2 identical upper body workouts (Mon and Wed) and 2 identical lower body workouts (Tue and Thu). Every workout starts with 20 min on the rowing machine and core at the end. The 5th day (Fri) is all HIIT also with rowing machine. Nothing over the weekend. I know you favor a 5 day workout as well but you have a different breakout for each day. What do you think about repeating each exercise twice a week with some rest in between?
Not Mr Magnus, but my take would be, you probably don't need to do 20 min on the rowing machine before a workout. You're not supposed to burn out before your strength training. 5 min is enough jus to get the blood flowing. Most don''t do such warm ups at all though. Doing a upper/lower body split is fine and gives you plenty of rest while also hitting all muscle groupes at least twice a week, which is essential so it's fine to repeat exercises doing the week. That said you can always mix it up with a push/pull/legs split if you fancy something new. But no matter what always remember to PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD!
I’ve found drinking more water or having some dairy helps me, if you’re lactose intolerant try some lactose free or oat/almond. I’ve noticed it creeps up more when I’m cutting
Ice baths work incredibly good for removing soreness / stiffness. Pulls all the blood out of your muscles and pumped fresh back in when you get out. It's a brutal recovery tactic but it works. Also can heal many other issues simultaneously.
Just going to throw it out there, if you're eating a very balanced diet (plus using a calorie + nutrient tracker to see your daily progress) you likely won't need any vitamins. But, taking a multi vitamin at the start of your day with the meal wouldn't hurt either, just to be sure. I personally take costco mature multivitamin (doesn't really matter between adult vs. mature).
Eating super clean right now with protein, carbs and fats all adequate but struggling to even hit 2000 calories by the end of the day (ending up around 1900). Trying to put on lean mass while cutting fat but I feel like 2000 calories is still low for that. I've always been pretty lean so eating enough has always been the biggest challenge for me. I can't even imagine eating 3700 calories in a day. Seems impossible to me lol
Time to take some mass gainers protein shakes they usually carry 1000 + calories and have a-lot of protein too but make sure not to drink them everyday just take it when you feel like you haven’t eat enough trough the day to reach your calories
@@LeatherfacePapi yeah I've got some and stopped using it because it's basically all junk but using it like you suggest just as a top up on those days is not a bad idea. Thanks.
@@eh7602 the main issue is that I focused too much on eating chicken breast. Although it's high in protein, it's low in calories. I need more diversity and obviously can't just eat chicken, green beans and rice and expect to hit calorie goals.
@@eugenethomas4647 I see well if you look at this diet that Alex ate it contains a lot of salmon, ribeye steak etc. those contain tons more calories than chicken. Look up the vertical diet maybe it will help you, it also has alot of ground beef/bison meat which i'm sure are more calorie dense than chicken as well.
You're totally right. The "b-roll" photos are mostly from set. I don't have any photos from the time before filming. These are good examples of food though. Well done, you know your macros;)
Because his „plan is fu…..bullshit. You dont build muscle from beans tomato and chicken, you must eat high caloric food, MacDonald, Pizza, Kebabs with rice and butter, eggs, sushi,…i would lose all fat and build O muscle from that plan😆
@@AUweaverzone He could be, but people really downplay the how hard it must be to take the step and start juicing. Alexander likely doesn't work out on the regular between roles, he doesn't have the bodybuilder urge/bigorexia, why would he be enticed to start injecting chemicals into his body? To people who workout on the regular, his physique is just good. Not fantastic. His proportions aren't that amazing cause he's tall. He's really just shredded, not that much muscle at all. Totally doable naturally for some 45 year olds (not all 45 yo) He definitely has good genetics for being shredded/low BF.
@@ryked333 you are absolutely clueless if you think he's obtained this physique naturally. Setting yourself up for disappointment if you think with hard work and dedication you'll get close to this in a couple of years "working out on the regular".
@@merpifiedyo423 setting myself up for dissapointment? i've worked out for 8 years, i already have quite a bit more muscle than him. You really are bafflingly naive to think that his physique is unachievable. HE LITERALLY JUST LOST SOME FAT. You are being completely manipulated by movie magic bro. He is in make up, spray-tan and they've probably outlined his abs with contour and what not. Do yourself a favour and check out what happens behind the scenes of big movies. They put you in THE BEST OF BEST lighting scenarios. NOTHING you see on the screen is CLOSE to reality. You really sound like you've been brainwashed by instagram.
Just to be clear: Actors need to bulk up and then cut because that's the fastest way to put on muscle. Eating this much is absolutely unsustainable for most people. That said, the optimal and most sustainable way for us "normal" folks is maingaining.
Again, flamboyant approach by Magnus!!! Waist exercise that Skarsgasrd id doing is absolutely unnecessary and I doon’t think that anyone does it who is well educated like that. You supposed to do isometrics for waist otherwise it gets bigger! Second thing, identify yourself, are you trainer or nutritionist? If you are both, hats down to you Mr Magnus, I am taking all of this above back and if you respond claiming it I will even delete this post. Since I know that you are not, pls stop deceiving ppl around the globe.
Love the movie, love this guy's training strategies... But it is about the aesthetics... As stated, it was a challenge maintaining this physique. I don't think Vikings had to regularly eat avocado and train to keep their physical shape. I realize this is just a movie and they wanted to show a berserker shape that commonly springs to mind within popular culture. And that time is also a constraint. I'm only having a mild grump because the director is praised for his historical accuracy in every movie. Makes me wonder what else is less than accurate.
@@Zielloss I totally get that. And it's only a mildly pointless thing I'm saying. But I honestly think rowing and heavy axe training for a year would result in a true near-Viking physical shape. The language is praised for being on point, historical accuracy on point. And then ... Gym bunny body. He looks great BTW. I know how petty I sound.
I really wondering how they got Eggers to not incist on historically accurate nutrion and workouts. Lamb and Fish are as Viking as you can go protein wise.
Hi guys, I would really appreciate some advice. I've been wondering, If I am carrying a fair amount of body fat but wanted to build muscle mass, would I need to start on a cutting cycle and lose the fat first?
Yes, you would need to cut first, don't focus on Cardio or running alot and under no circumstances DO NOT stop eating!! The starvation diet is ridiculous and Ineffective. Put on muscle while drinking more water and zero sugar quality beverages like Body armor and stay hydrated all day. Start lifting weights make sure you follow a basic lifting process and hit every muscle group. You'll be cutting and adding mass at the same time
@Alenas Kvasninas I actually agree with this tbh, very well said and put together thank you for the correction. I personally cut from 170 to 150 then out muscle on but it wasn't as hard for me as it would be for others, perhaps he's better suited taking you're recourse instead,

You're not supposed to burn out before your strength training. 5 min is enough jus to get the blood flowing. Most don''t do such warm ups at all though.

@@AUweaverzone He could be, but people really downplay the how hard it must be to take the step and start juicing. Alexander likely doesn't work out on the regular between roles, he doesn't have the bodybuilder urge/bigorexia, why would he be enticed to start injecting chemicals into his body? To people who workout on the regular, his physique is just good. Not fantastic. His proportions aren't that amazing cause he's tall. He's really just shredded, not that much muscle at all. Totally doable naturally for some 45 year olds (not all 45 yo) He definitely has good genetics for being shredded/low BF.
@@ryked333 you are absolutely clueless if you think he's obtained this physique naturally. Setting yourself up for disappointment if you think with hard work and dedication you'll get close to this in a couple of years "working out on the regular".
@@merpifiedyo423 setting myself up for dissapointment? i've worked out for 8 years, i already have quite a bit more muscle than him. You really are bafflingly naive to think that his physique is unachievable. HE LITERALLY JUST LOST SOME FAT. You are being completely manipulated by movie magic bro. He is in make up, spray-tan and they've probably outlined his abs with contour and what not. Do yourself a favour and check out what happens behind the scenes of big movies. They put you in THE BEST OF BEST lighting scenarios. NOTHING you see on the screen is CLOSE to reality. You really sound like you've been brainwashed by instagram.

Really fortunate he got to eat so much. Every time I imagine Joaquin Phoenix's diet for Joker I'm like did he just eat egg whites and drink water?
I cannot find your app in the app store
Around 4:08 for the actual title of the video
Just to be clear: Actors need to bulk up and then cut because that's the fastest way to put on muscle. Eating this much is absolutely unsustainable for most people. That said, the optimal and most sustainable way for us "normal" folks is maingaining.
Dude..... They use other means.
Again, flamboyant approach by Magnus!!! Waist exercise that Skarsgasrd id doing is absolutely unnecessary and I doon’t think that anyone does it who is well educated like that.
You supposed to do isometrics for waist otherwise it gets bigger!
Second thing, identify yourself, are you trainer or nutritionist? If you are both, hats down to you Mr Magnus, I am taking all of this above back and if you respond claiming it I will even delete this post.
Since I know that you are not, pls stop deceiving ppl around the globe.
good to know what food he was drinking, But the real question is what Cycle was he on?
Well that’s a good way to generate insulin resistance (assuming he’s not in a caloric deficit).
Love the movie, love this guy's training strategies... But it is about the aesthetics... As stated, it was a challenge maintaining this physique. I don't think Vikings had to regularly eat avocado and train to keep their physical shape.
I realize this is just a movie and they wanted to show a berserker shape that commonly springs to mind within popular culture. And that time is also a constraint.
I'm only having a mild grump because the director is praised for his historical accuracy in every movie. Makes me wonder what else is less than accurate.
To be fair, he did it in 1 year compared to a viking that would row, march, and train in their own way constantly.
@@Zielloss I totally get that. And it's only a mildly pointless thing I'm saying. But I honestly think rowing and heavy axe training for a year would result in a true near-Viking physical shape. The language is praised for being on point, historical accuracy on point. And then ... Gym bunny body. He looks great BTW. I know how petty I sound.
Stort tack Magnus, gillar verkligen din kanal 💫
nutrition is by far the hardest part for me
Hey Magnus is your app for android? Im not seeing it on the playstore
What about his training for Tarzan?
Actually fats, carbs, protein and alcohol are all energy sources but only fats and protein are essential, you could say "building blocks".
Whats the name of your app?
Does anyone know if desiccated liver supplements or bovine gelatin is good for you? Heard about them recently but not sure.
I really wondering how they got Eggers to not incist on historically accurate nutrion and workouts.
Lamb and Fish are as Viking as you can go protein wise.
dumbells are in pounds or kgs?
You and Skarsgard make a legendary team. YOu're still the REAL boss, though ;)
Where can I find your nutrition plans
Yes, again...;a very good video
Hi guys, I would really appreciate some advice. I've been wondering, If I am carrying a fair amount of body fat but wanted to build muscle mass, would I need to start on a cutting cycle and lose the fat first?
Yes, you would need to cut first, don't focus on Cardio or running alot and under no circumstances DO NOT stop eating!! The starvation diet is ridiculous and Ineffective. Put on muscle while drinking more water and zero sugar quality beverages like Body armor and stay hydrated all day. Start lifting weights make sure you follow a basic lifting process and hit every muscle group. You'll be cutting and adding mass at the same time
@Alenas Kvasninas I actually agree with this tbh, very well said and put together thank you for the correction. I personally cut from 170 to 150 then out muscle on but it wasn't as hard for me as it would be for others, perhaps he's better suited taking you're recourse instead,
