As Reynolds had to gain mass, instead of eating three big meals every day, he ate more than 6 smaller portion every 2 to 3 hours. By doing this, he was feeding his body with just enough food and not storing fat.

3) No more Carbs after 8 PM
He ate much carbohydrates after his workout, but never after 8 PM

4) Take Supplement
Reynolds took creatine, L-glutamine, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), whey, and multivitamin.

Ryan Reynolds Workout Plan

1) Do Abs Exercise First
This guy has great 6-pack. Rumor said that he did an abs implants.
Really? Not true.

      Contrary to common practice, Reynolds did his ab exercise first before he lifted the iron. He found that it was more helpful in getting himself motivated.  Damn, he did between 500 and 1000 sit-ups.  Reynolds confessed that lower abs are the hardest muscle to develop. What he did was to use exercise ball between his legs and then lifted the ball up and down, using his abs to anchor himself.  The other abs exercise he did is to put a 15 pound dumb-bell between his feet, and did leg raises while lying on the ground.

2) Lift Heavy Weight To Bulk Up
He lifted heavy weight to build the mass. Therefore, it is the typical 8 to 12 repetitions per set.

3) Six days Weekly and One Muscle One Day
He trained six days a week and he dedicated a day for only one muscle. So, he has one day for chest, back, shoulder, leg and arms.

    After the movie, Reynolds no longer worked out that hard to maintain his physique. He lost about 10 pounds out from the twenty pounds he has gained. However, he still works out four to five times a week. Below is his shirtless photo showing has has slimmed down considerably from the build he had in Blade Trinity and Amityville Horror. However, he is still lean with good set of abs.  In year 2009, once he secured the lead role in Green Lantern, he started working hard again.
