Twilight star Kellan Lutz is looking good enough to eat on the cover of the latest issue of Men’s Fitness magazine. He needed to look like a Greek god for the film The Immortals and And here’s how he got that way: “I ate 16 eggs every morning. I got up to 220 pounds of solid muscle. We’d work out every day. Shooting one scene could take all day—and when that’s just driving a Humvee at five miles an hour, we had energy to burn. We were doing push-ups on top of the Humvees. We were throwing wheels and rocks. We were timing each other, betting who can do the most push-ups, just to keep our sanity. We did these [UFC fighter] Bas ­Rutten tapes, where it’s like, ‘OK, shadowbox! ­Defense! ­­Shadowbox! Drop to the ground!’ Within 30 minutes, you’re dripping. And it’s Africa. So it’s hot as balls out there. We pushed each other to be the best we could be.”

Very impressive. Now somebody please pass me a cupcake.
