Yeah Reacher is just fantasy. He eats like a pig, never has access to a shower and he is built like Mr Universe.

Alan ritchsons always been big and claims he just consistently works out everyday and eats a lot, and he didn't work out that much before reacher was still pretty big, after season 1 he started taking testosterone I think if i remember correctly, he talks about it in interviews

Thats cool and has nothing to do with what i posted.

[-] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago

He in real life doesn't work out as much as you think he would for his frame prereacher, he was low on testosterone to prior to it. Not that crazy to think reacher went from working out daily to once or twice a weak to avoid atroph. On screen he often does feets of strength that would equal maxing out on weights once a weak.

He does have access to a shower. He stays at motels mostly and very rarely sleeps outside.

There’s no explanation for that body though as he definitely never goes to a gym.

[-] dil@lemmy.zip 1 points 21 hours ago

He doesn't have to goto the gym that often to mantain it, maybe like twice a weak, apparently 1 set to failure a week is enough to prevent hypertrophy so he can get that through the bs he goes through lifting heavy sht and climing.

Um guys come on it is simple. he lives at the gym between seasons.

[-] nogooduser@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

The books have one or two references to him working as a labourer or other jobs between books.

[-] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 26 points 3 days ago

Labor jobs don't make you look like that. They make you hunched over and limping and kinda fat looking. Also an alcoholic

Source: worked labor in my early years and finally decided to quit just as the hunch started to develop

I'll have you know that Reacher cannot help his overactive steroid gland!

There’s this story that Mark Hammil tells about being on the set of Star Wars and he mentions to Harrison Ford that their hair should be wet, since it was just wet in the previous scene.

And Ford says something like, “This ain’t that kind of movie, kid. If the audience is talking about our hair, something has already gone wrong.”

The same goes for Reacher, even the books. They're great, easy and fun to read, but if you start thinking about it like that something has already gone wrong.

Even so, I have to say that the books concentrate more on him just being really tall without being thin. And trained both mentally and physically, but never just muscled.

I don't recall which one, but he's shot in the chest by a small caliber revolver and his dense pectorals actually stopped the bullet.

Damn, I never knew Mr. Universe had all that hiding under his shirt!

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago
