FIGHT FAT AND WIN

-

When Munteanu was cast as Viktor, he weighed 113kg. To cut 13kg, he unleashed a simple, fat-blasting combo. This is how to get in fighting shape – and fast

2g per 1kg FUEL THE FIRES

Munteanu consumed protein day and night, aiming for 2g per kilo of bodyweight, but his evening meals focused on one muscle fuel: tuna. The fish is packed with protein and contains only 1g of fat per 100kcal. “I kept it basic,” he says.

45:15 BEAT THE CLOCK

“We trained six hours a day,” says Munteanu. But if you don’t have that kind of time, train against the clock in the gym. Perform each move as many times as you can for 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds before your next set.

30min x3 HOLD STEADY

For cardio, Munteanu opted for a steadystat­e solution and simply ran for half an hour, three days a week, aiming for a few miles at a consistent pace. If you end up with your arms aloft at the top of some steps, all the better.
