Brad Pitt’s “Fight Club” Body (SCRAWNY?!?)

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Fight Club, I want to take a look back at Brad Pitt’s physique in this movie. Many, at the time, desired this exact physique of being lean and not overly muscular and inspired thousands to start going to the gym and eating right.

These days, some believe that Brad Pitt in Fight Club was too skinny and lacked muscle development. I would argue the opposite. If you look at pictures of Brad Pitt from the movie, you will see solid shoulder development, a fairly big chest with an upper chest shelf (plenty of people find this to be a difficult area to develop), the appearance of shrink-wrap abs, and arms that proportional to the rest of his body.

Why do people think that Brad looked skinny? It comes down to being jaded from what they see on social media these days. Search physique on instagram and scroll down the explore page to see what I am talking about. Most of the physiques you see are likely a result of PEDs. This creates a warped image and expectation of what a natural trainee can aspire to look like.

However, Brad Pitt’s body in Fight Club is achievable by most, as long as their training and nutrition are in check. This physique is also fairly sustainable as Brad, at the age of 55, looks to have kept the same or even greater muscular development, despite the fact he isn’t as lean as he was in Fight Club 25 years ago.
