How to into Partick Bateman mode

I've come to the conclusion that everything everyone in this book does is simply for show, and no one's actually paying any attention to anyone else because they're too wrapped up in the appearance they give off. So I assumed that Bateman's simply doing pussy weights, doing an assload of redundant exercises just to say so.

Kek gonna ask trappy if she thinks this good

>she

His routine is a clusterfuck. To be VERY charitable he's going for a lean, male model look and in the book is depicted as disdainful of "overmuscled" people so it's safe to assume he's using baby weights. Still, hitting all those muscle groups on the same day is crazy and would take much longer than the 2 hours he claims.

This whole book is absurd. I'm convinced it was written to be a snide comedy.

Is reading the book before/instead of watching the movie worth it?

Bateman confirmed for roids. That's the only way he'd make gains on that shit routine.

what the fuck is this OP

Shame he didn't research what a good routine looks like. He probably just asked some faggot PT friend who rattled off a list of exercises and said "Yeah, you should do that all in that order for seven sets of twelve reps."

Nice

New routine right there. Thanks bro.

>mfw 531 BBB has almost as much deadlift volume

Shit like this

Something tells me Cruise and Bateman would probably get on like a house on fire IRL until one of them finally snaps and butchers the other. Which one snaps first is anyone's guess though.

Well, yeah, it's meant to be vicious satire of the soulless consumerist yuppie lifestyle. But good satire hinges on believability. Take Batemans aspie ability to meticulously list the cut, material and designer of every article of clothing a person is wearing as soon as he glances at them - that's believable; it exhibits an obsessive and pedantically shallow personality type but people like that exist. The description of the workout is one of the few times the book descends into the flat-out unbelievable and cartoony.

>he is much shorter in person

Tom Cruise confirmed for frauding height

When will they ever learn?

If you read the book first you may be disappointed by how toned-down the film is. It's a good movie though. The book is long, deliberately dull and tedious in places, and thoroughly fucked up. The movie is more accessible so I'd say watch it first and then decide if you'd enjoy reading several hundred pages of similar content.

I recognize that, but only because I've watched the movie several times, and already made my judgements about it. I just wanted to see how different the source material is.

>Written by a man who has clearly never worked out in his life

It's a satire on excess, told by an unreliable narrator.

>how do I do exactly what's written here?

What a time to be alive.

The door opens, with Cruise breaking his steely gaze and myself making an exit.
