7 Best Rob McElhenney Workout Routine Tips to Get Ripped

Last updated on March 6, 2022 by Rich S., NASM-CPT

Who is Rob Mcelhenney?

What are the best Rob McElhenney workout strategies? But first, you might wonder who McElhenney is and what does he know about body transformation?

So, here is a brief introduction:

Rob Mcelhenney is an Irish American creative phenomenon, as he is a screenwriter, producer, director, and actor on FX’s hit comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

McElhenney was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 14, 1977.

He started his acting career in 1997 with a role in The Devil’s Own.

In 2005, FX picked up his proposal for “Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

By Sunny season seven, Rob pursued the idea of his character Mac, transforming into Fat Mac. And, he put on an additional 50 to 60 pounds to change from a normal-sized Mac into a pregnant Mac.

McElhenney’s sudden weight gain and what he did to transform from fat Mac to ripped Mac is the perfect model for why you got fat and how to get fit fast.

How You Got Fat

When McElhenney decided to put on 50 pounds in 5 months, he initially started eating healthy foods, like brown rice and a lot of chicken breast.

Soon enough, he realized that he could not eat enough of that type of food to put on significant weight.

Brown rice and chicken breast are typical bodybuilding foods for a reason.

They are clean and filling.

He discovered that highly processed food would solve his problem if he replaced his chicken and rice with Big Mac’s, Krispy Kreme’s, and ice cream.

A Big Mac is so processed that putting more than 1000 calories in his body at one meal was very simple.

Before long, he topped his goal to add 52 pounds to his frame in grand fashion.

He started at 160 pounds and ballooned up to 220 pounds in 3 months.

Most Americans take 30 years to gain fifty pounds; he did it in three months.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney’s Diet Tips

If you are obese today, you likely did it the same way that Rob McElhenney did.

Eat processed food and too much of it.

Getting fat is easy to do.

But how he reversed course is instructive as well.

So, how did Rob McElhinney lose weight and get jacked?

Rob McElhenney’s Workout Routine and Diet Tips – Final Thoughts

Use Rob McElhenney’s workout routine to get ripped as well. Here are Rob McElhenney’s workout and diet tips in his own words on Rob Mcelhenney’s Instagram:

#1. Lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol

#2. Don’t eat anything after 7 pm

#3. Don’t eat any carbs or sugar at all; in fact, don’t eat anything you love

#4. Get the personal trainer for Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, and run three miles a day

#5. Have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven-month span

#6. “I don’t know why everyone is not doing this.”

#7. “It’s a super realistic lifestyle.”

Fat Mac vs. Ripped Mac – The Key Takeaways

You can see that the key takeaways are:

  • Lift weights six days a week
  • Stop drinking your calories, especially alcohol
  • Sleep – the easiest way to lose weight
  • Run 3 miles a day – and if you cannot run, at least start walking 30 minutes a day
  • Most importantly, change the habits that make you fat, and you will dramatically change your body
