Another mens health dud. He said he gained 30 lbs and mens health turned that into 30 lbs of muscle. It's honestly not hard to gain 30 lbs in 8 months.

Oh, man, it felt really good to hear him say that about dips. Chest dips are the best exercise there is, particularly for men. Paired up with squats, it hits nearly everything just right.

Refreshing for sure. I really like the refreshing approach of not asking for likes, subscribing, clicking bell. And great workout tip (more sets /more reps). Thanks for sharing with us!

Seems like a great guy, and he's an amazing actor. I never really hoped for a Wolfenstein movie (movies based on games tend to be.. bad..), but if they were to make one, please please please give Alan the main role. After seeing Reacher I 100% believe he would fit the role perfectly.
