Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello have earned fame for their acting skills and muscular builds. Now the duo have teamed up again to show off their six-pack abs in the sequel to Magic Mike. The two CrossFit workout fans didn’t hesitate when offered the chance to flex their strip-worthy bodies together again, revealed the Daily Mail.
Both Channing and Joe have received recognition for their sleek physiques. After building muscles for both True Blood and Magic Mike, Manganiello ranked on Men’s Health“100 Fittest Men of All Time.” Tatum earned his own spotlight as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.
And if you thought that Joe and Channing displayed some impressively fit dance moves before, Channing wants you to prepare yourself for the full Monty version of muscled men on the sequel.
“This is the Superbowl version of what the first one was,” promised Tatum.

In addition to Joe and Channing, So You Think You Can Dance star Stephen “tWitch” Boss, Donald Glover, Michael Strahan, Elizabeth Banks, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Amber Heard appear in the “Superbowl” Magic Mike sequel.
Eager to earn opportunities as extras for Magic Mike XXL, residents of Myrtle Beach, where the sequel is filming, are waiting in line for hours, reported Myrtle Beach News.
The sequel features a road trip from Tampa to Myrtle Beach for a stripper convention. To recognize the actors and film crew, the Boardwalk Resort even posted a sign, “Welcome Stripper Con Happy 4th.”
As the Inquisitr revealed, Joe has been making a career out of sculpting his body with a combination of a low-carb diet and CrossFit workouts. His CrossFit trainer is Ron Mathews.
Joe even authored a book about his dedication to bodybuilding and to a high-protein, low-carb diet entitled Evolution: The Cutting Edge Guide to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body You’ve Always Wanted.
He uses protein shakes for snacks and follows low-carb diet guidelines by featuring protein and non-starchy veggies for meals. A typical high-protein diet dinner is steak, asparagus, and a salad.
Channing follows a similar regimen, avoiding all foods containing gluten. He also praises CrossFit workouts for helping him stay lean without boredom.
Other celebrity fans of CrossFit workouts include Jessica Alba, Madonna, and Kelly Clarkson, according to PopSugar.
“You never work out more than 35 minutes, but it’s so intense… It makes me feel like G.I. Jane. It’s very empowering,” praised Kelly. “I feel like I can whup a**!”
