Title: What are these secret 6 hour long training programs actors speak of?
Post by: j3di3 on August 17, 2011, 01:58:30 PM: Here's the interview with the new Conan and apparently they were "lifting 6 hours a day" ::)
Any ideas what kind of training that would be?
Whats the deal with ppl lying? Some kid may actually believe him and go training 6 hours a day hoping to look like that and end up buying "No Explode" with no results.

Starting 0:52 he mentions the "6 hours a day" :o ::)

The first guy who ever got asked "omg how'd you workout for this role you look great" was probably all "yeah I lifted for an hour a day three days a week" then the next guy was like "yeah two hours a day" etc. I am waiting for someone to go all-in and say they lifted literally for 24 hours non stop.

Sounds like a waste of time.

nah training that way actually works wonders, just takes a ton of time. i did it for a couple months the spring before last and i got great results. not 6 hours a day, more like 2 and a half. you need a lot of time, a lot of motivation, and a lot of dedication. but it works.

Exactly. He mentions the 6 hours included additional sword and stunt work after the :50 mark. If Schwarzenegger included his sword training, horse riding, stunts, etc... he could say he trained 6 hours a day for Conan as well. No actor is lifting weights for 6 hours a day while working on a movie.
