Will Smith brings his fitness to a new level to defend mankind in I, Robot

THE PROJECT
After losing muscle mass while promoting Bad Boys II and producing his UPN sitcom, All of Us, Will Smith had to regain his fitness and take it to a new level to defend mankind in I, Robot, according to Smith's trainer, Darrell Foster. Foster was a boxing and fitness coach for welterweight champion Sugar Ray Leonard for 18 years before training Smith for Ali.

THE PROBLEM
Smith's body-fat percentage was up 2 points, and his maximum bench press had dropped by 35 pounds.

SMITH'S PROGRAM
Each of his 5-day-a-week lifting sessions focused on one or two body parts. He ran at least 5 miles 6 days a week, and he boxed twice a week. "There is no better fitness regimen than the one a professional fighter uses," Foster says.

SMITH'S PROGRESS
In 3 months, Smith's bench press increased by 75 pounds, to 385--35 pounds more than he benched during Ali. A high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet maximized muscle repair. With his metabolic rate cranked up from the extra muscle, he slowly reduced his food intake to burn fat, cutting--but not eliminating--carbs. You need carbs to keep your brain sharp and fuel your workout routines, says Foster. After 6 months, Smith's body fat had shrunk to 7.5 percent, down from 12 percent. And all those zero-body-fat robots never had a chance.

YOUR PLAN
To boost the amount you can bench-press, follow Smith's pyramid routine. He did either flat or incline bench presses once a week. Warm up with three sets of 10 repetitions, increasing the weight with each set, but staying below 70 percent of your one-rep max. (Smith did 135, 185, and 225.) Then do up to six sets of one repetition, starting with a weight that's at least 80 percent of your one-rep max. Progress by small--5 percent or less--increments. (Smith did 315, 335, 355, 365, 375, and 385.) Then reverse this path until you're back to the weight you used for your first one-rep set. To thoroughly exhaust the pectorals, Smith would finish by bench-pressing 315 pounds for two sets of five reps, then finally lifting 135 until failure

So what do you think of the workout? Do some good pyramid and pack on the muscles. I always like seeing how the stars did it. Yes they have a lot of time and direction but that's why we should learn from them. Before this as the article allued to is that Will gained a lot of weight for Ali. Here's an article that talks about that, from nowloss.com:

To go from the skinner 185 lb. actor to a 220 lb. boxer for Ali... Will Smith Smith worked out 5 days a week for 6 hours a day which included lots of running (for endurance) and boxing training for the Ali movie but...

Will Smith mainly picked up his muscular frame from the weight training he did one year prior to the Ali movie and during that year his bench press went from 175 pounds to 365 pounds and...

You don't have to train 6 hours a day to get the same type of body Will Smith had in Ali because you must realize that... Most of Will Smith's grueling 6 hour a day workout regimen for Ali consisted of boxing technique training so...

Wow. 6hrs!? Now you can't say that this guy doesn't deserve the success that he gets. No, like the article says you don't need to work out 6 hours to get awesome results but it does take a little work.
