You have to keep in mind that it is not a realistic example of what you will get as a regular person. Behind the scenes they have these taking diuretics, dehydrating and they hooking them up with stuff like prednisone to give them more gains quickly.
Most men cannot look like that for long periods of time without potentially huge long term damage.
Workout for yourself, don't aim at an unrealistic goal and focus on looking a way that works best for you and makes training enjoyable for you. I'll probably never get a six pack, but I enjoy waking up early in the morning and doing my routine. When I tell people who don't live in the gym my routine they think it's crazy and expect me to look like Michael B jordan or whatever. It's wild numbers of people who don't 'look' as fit as they actually are.

Zac Efron talking about how much his training for Baywatch fukked with him
He has been a child star, a fitness pinup, an onscreen himbo, and an environmental activist. But Zac Efron hasn’t always been healthy. Now he’s reinventing himself again, and he wants to do it right.

“Efron actually is bulking, he explains, for a yet-to-be-announced role, but he isn’t preparing with the same fervor he brought to his Baywatch training. He doesn’t want that body anymore. Or rather, he doesn’t want to do what he did to achieve that body. “That Baywatch look, I don’t know if that’s really attainable. There’s just too little water in the skin. Like, it’s fake; it looks CGI’d,” he says. “And that required Lasix, powerful diuretics, to achieve. So I don’t need to do that. I much prefer to have an extra, you know, 2 to 3 percent body fat.”
“Beyond taking diuretics, he was overtraining and eating the same three meals every day. And he wasn’t sleeping enough; if filming stopped at midnight, he would still wake up at 4:00 A.m. to train. Initially he was excited about Baywatch—he thought it could be a fun action franchise, and he liked his character—but the recovery walloped him. Efron says he doesn’t want to sound like he’s complaining, but he’s opening up now because he wants people trying to obtain the Baywatch body to know how devastating the process was for him, and how long the ill effects of his training lasted.
“I started to develop insomnia,” he says, “and I fell into a pretty bad depression, for a long time. Something about that experience burned me out. I had a really hard time recentering. Ultimately they chalked it up to taking way too many diuretics for way too long, and it messed something up.” Six months after the film wrapped, he finally began to feel right again.”
