Hugh Jackman is perhaps better known for his sculpted body than his acting skills (not that we are complaining). A no-nonsense nutrition plan, brutal workout regime and lots of mental strength were the things that transformed him from a man to badass Wolverine. At an age, where things start slowing down, Hugh is scaling new heights. Hugh started training under David Kingsbury for his role as Wolverine and follows a progressive overload body training. He uses loads on the basic bench press, deadlifts, squats and pullups and these weights vary with each set. He also rely on the classic techniques like cicuts and supersets to incinerate fat and exhaust muscles. He does not believe in bulking up. He follows a balanced workout plan and does hard exercise that are not followed by others. The actor is in his best shape ever.(ALSO READ How to lose weight fast: 11 quick and easy ways to lose a lot of weight fast).

The actor said that for a perfect body, he was following a method called dehydration. As per the actor, you can lose around 10 pounds or 4.5 kilos of weight by this method. You will lose the water from under the surface of your skin. To lose weight by this method, you will have to drink a lot of water and then stop drinking water completely. So, as your body is used to urinate a lot due to drinking of water, you will continue urinating even without drinking any water. The food you will eat will also suck the water from your body. This will cause the body to lose water and bring down the weight. The actor drank about 10 liters of water a day and then stopped drinking it 30 hours before the shoot. So, for the next 10 hours, he was urinating frequently.
However the actor has warned against trying this method without supervision as it is not very healthy. It leads to side effects like headache among other things. He also mentioned that he was eating a meal consisting of steamed chicken and broccoli every two hours to maintain his toned body. He was eating a total of 6500 calories a day.
So while this extreme diet might give you a physique like Hugh Jackman, know that this cannot be taken lightly and must not be done without supervision.
