    Lifting for 6 days a week is terrible for muscle growth. I guess you could split it into isolation lifts for two offset three day splits, but your body can't build muscle without a good amount of rest. Pretty sure Rob was experienced at lifting before this so it probably made more sense to do isolation exercises rather than compound lifts, which would be dangerous and counterproductive to do 6 days per week. If you're new to fitness, how you start out depends on your current state, but for most people that are either skinny, "skinnyfat" or mildly overweight, you should do compound lifts 3 days a week with one day in between gym days where you do cardio on off days (but don't overdo it). Eating no carbs is fucking dumb btw. The only problem with carbs is Americans eat way too many and the worst kind that leave you hungry an hour after eating 800 cals. Brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole grain bread are all great carb sources that haven't been stripped of all nutrients. Just don't eat donuts and pizza all the time.

    Also, he's leaving out the gear. I know plenty of extremely disciplined natural bodybuilders and you don't make a transformation like that without gear. He had to build muscle and lose fat simultaneously. That is possible but it takes twice as long as bulking and cutting. He was likely on a nice cocktail of roids and stuff to offset the negative side effects of roids. It's way more common in Hollywood than people will ever admit.
