  • @StanslaMichael
    @StanslaMichael ปีที่แล้ว +110

    Being a Reacher fan that has read all the books i have to say that the choice to pick Alan as Reacher was the best thing they ever did. It's not that Tom didn't play Reacher well it's just that anyone that has read Reacher automatically has an idea of how he looks and Alan fits that description perfectly.

    • @Jasbris
      @Jasbris 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      This is how I always felt too. Cruise did an amazing job capturing Reacher's tone and demeanor, 10/10, but he was never going to match Reacher's anthropometric characteristics. He did, however, do such a great job with the movies that we got to have individual Reacher novels as whole well thought out seasons.
      I'm so glad they cast Alan Ritchson as Reacher. I was skeptical at first, having been a fan of Blue Mountain State. I didn't think he would be able to match Tone and Demeanor, but he grows into it throughout season 1, and fully embodies Reacher in Season 2.
      I love the books and I love the series on Prime.

      @ajsmodernandretrogames8523 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well, he had a legitimate reason to be on TRT, he's 40 and trying to be Reacher. TRT in it's recommended dose is completely fine and might give you a *bit* of and edge, but more or less just does what it says, replaces your testosterone.
      TRT gets abused A LOT by people who don't need it, which is why it gets a bad rap. TRT isn't banned in a lot of martial arts sports if you stay within the recommended dose and you prove you actually need it.

TRT is essential for your body once you start hitting your mid 30s, some sooner, some later ... I´ll definitly jump on TRT once I hit 35

      Season 2 was complete rubbish compared to 1, real shame as I like most people thought it would be amazing. Poor story , writing basically everything that made season 1 so good was dreadful in 2 . As for his cheat day information -everydays a cheat day - utter nonsense if you want to remain lean zero chance when your eating so much refined sugar, carbs etc. if it was the case everybody would be on the “Crispy Cream donut diet and be single digit fat content. Hilarious to think anybody with a basic understanding of diet would believe such lies.

  • @beaubellamy2999

    Mike Mentzer talked a lot about this but his point was that you only need to work out enough to break down muscle so it may rebuild. You don’t have to go crazy for 8hrs in the gym. And for Alan he works out every day so it probably is mostly just calories for him. He doesn’t eat trash food all the time but a couple times a week probably isn’t bad.

      I don't think so. He does not have the massive delts popping out like roid users have. TRT for a guy 40 is sufficient I'd say. 40 is still young but then again, I'm a mid 50s dude so....lol

    I appreciate his transparency. To be clear testosterone TRT is not like taking steroids. That being said, I don’t think he actually needs it. If he was given the right amount of time to bulk up for these roles he could have easily done it. It was the time frame that got him.

      How is it not like asking steroids? It's literally taking a steroid! It's a lesser dose but TRT can still give you over double the amount of testosterone a normal young guy would have

      @@abdouldmml Double? Nah. A legit TRT script from a doc is monitored to get you to the around 700-900 ng/dL range. Which is the upper end of the normal range.
      Dudes taking synthetic steroids' are usually taking 5 to 10 times that amount, with additional substances added in the mix. Very different chemical than what your doc would order from a legit compound pharmacy for TRT.

      @@billbored8277 It's still an anabolic steroid, it's just a smaller dose. You mentioned that most doctors will keep you at the high end of the normal range, yet that high end is not normal for people at 40 plus. Not only that, your free or bioavaliable testosterone, which is arguably the most important, skyrockets on TRT. Lastly you are constantly kept at optimal levels, while normal testosterone is affected by every day life and obligations. It's not comparable to being natural.

    TRT saved my life. My levels were below 50. Medical condition, and my doc also blamed the American diet (refined carbs, sugar, trans fats, estrogens in dairy & plastics, etc.). TRT has me back about 350+. I'm 54, and it's a freaking game changer for me. Thank you, Alan, for speaking about TRT positively.

    If you're constantly active, whether it's physically demanding work, or exercising, or in general not lying around and sitting all day, you can eat whatever you want and still be fit. I know people who would eat huge whole pizzas by themselves and be super ripped and lean because of there lifestyle. Whereas someone can have 2 average meals a day and still gain weight because they sit around all day.

All you gotta do is actually work out. That guy said he eats a Sunday and it destroys him... but you work out ZERO.... so you get that result 😅
