Brad Pitt's Fight Club physique might look like the goal, but Greg Doucette has a question about maintaining it: is being that lean worth the effort?

"It's not worth it. I think that's way too lean for somebody to try to maintain," he tells Graham Stephan and Jack Selby in an excerpt from The Iced Coffee Hour podcast. Doucette says some people could achieve the look naturally, but stresses how demanding it would be to sustain.

The segment, posted on the podcast's official clips channel as "The TRUTH About Getting a Hollywood Body | Greg Doucette", passed 100,000 views in its first 11 hours. That is already far beyond the channel's usual full first day for regular videos. The comment section is also several times busier than a typical first day.

The hosts show Doucette photographs of famous physiques, then bring the question closer to home: could they get there themselves? His answers put genetics, body proportions and realistic timelines at the center of the conversation. When Henry Cavill's build comes up, Doucette says reaching that size naturally within a year is impossible for most people.

Viewers are discussing the difference between improving their own physique and reproducing someone else's, with several focusing on frame size and muscle proportions. Other excerpts from the same guest appearance, covering fitness influencers and which muscles women notice, are also drawing unusually strong early audiences.

Doucette eventually turns the scrutiny on an old competition photograph of himself, reflecting on his own natural bodybuilding phase and leanness. The upload concludes with a sponsored supplement segment.

This is the conversation I have with my potential clients everyday at the gym. 😂

People that don't understand the genetics behind proportions, frame size, muscle insertions, muscle bellies, tendon size and insertions, or various responses to training have no idea what it takes to recreate a look. Hence why Greg's answer of "You would look like your own version of this, but you couldn't look like this" is spot on.

Comparison really is the theif of joy.
It's rough when you realise you have sub average genetics, it really is. I'm happy I look ten times better than I did and I get compliments off people who know me, I've not seen for ages. I'm happy with my two years of progress
