Kellan Lutz From Twilight Has Packed On Some Serious Muscle | Men's Health Magazine Australia

Remember This Guy From Twilight? Well, He Got Seriously Massive

Kellan Lutz is an American actor and model who rose to fame around 10 years ago, when the world was fan-girling over vampires. Luckily pop-culture has come a long way since then, and so has Lutz.

 

Nowadays, the 33 year has packed on pounds of muscle and has gone from a skinny vampire to tackling some of the meatiest roles in Hollywood, including son of Zeus, Hercules. He’s a heavy hitter who can hold his own amongst the Arnie’s and Stallone’s of the world in the recent Expendables 3.

To stack on the muscle, Lutz breaks down each muscle group in three different ways, cramming in fat-searing bodyweight work between sets, and is reportedly a big fan of the Paleo Diet.

Give the below upper body workout a go to experience how Kellan maintains lean mass.
