The Never Back down Workout Routine that was used to train Cam Gigandet had as its main focus having him look as muscular yet, lean and ripped.

We have seen this type of physique before, it is very similar to the way Brad Pitt looked in "Fight Club." It's no secret that a fight movie will bring out the best physique in an actor. In his role as Ryan McCarthy, Gigandet continues to play "The Bad Boy" and it is rumored that his body fat was around 4% at the time of filming.

To achieve this type of single-digit body fat levels you're going to have to give up the regular carbohydrates. Such as, white bread, bagels, white flour pasta and so forth.

You'll have to increase your protein intake and consider eating a larger portion and variety of vegetables.

The Cam Gigandet body was supposed to represent what a mixed martial arts or UFC fighter looks like. In my opinion, they succeeded.

How to Train to Get That "Never Back Down" Look

His workout schedule was based on training just one muscle group each day. Of course, this was a resistance or strength training type of workout. There really are just three ways to train.

You can train for:

1. Strength

2. Muscular Size

3. Endurance

The reality is that in order to actually gain muscle size you must first become stronger. It seems that most people take this fact for granted. However, if you are not strong enough to use heavy weights in your training program, you will never be able to really achieve any substantial muscle size. That's a plain fact!

1. To build strength you must use low reps, between four to eight reps.

2. To build muscle size you must perform 8 to 12 reps.

3. To build endurance you must perform 12 to 20 repetitions.

The reason that this has been mentioned is because in the Never Back down Workout Routine, Gigandet did between 20 to 30 repetitions per exercise.

Performing that many repetitions and consuming a low carbohydrate diet will give you a lean appearance. Take in mind, that his training program was not designed for actual mixed martial arts fighting. It was designed to give him the "look" of an MMA fighter.

Gigandet was already lean to begin with and all the MMA training that he had to partake in made his "Never Back down Workout Routine" successful by judging the amount of searches on the Internet.
