Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

We now know it was much more than an iconic catchphrase for Sylvester Stallone.

The starof the Rocky movie series took his heaviest hit while getting shredded for Rocky III with an insane diet and exercise routine.

The 70-year-old action movie star has revealed secret details of his preparation for the third Rocky film and just how closely he mirrored his iconic character while filming his bloody rematch against Clubber Lang, played by Mr. T.

Stallone says his diet was so intense, he was forced to do handstands during breaks in filming to get blood flowing back into his head.

Stallone made a number of scary admissions about his physical condition at the time of filming in 1981 in a post on Instagram, including:

Stallone has previously said his goal for Rocky III was to work on muscle definition compared to earlier Rocky films, where his exercise program was focused on building more muscle mass.

I wanted to look like Tarzan sleek, tight, almost catlike, he said. I wanted to forget the bulk and go for well-developed muscles.

Its been 35 years since the film was released, and in the intervening years, Stallone has repeatedly pushed his body to the limit to prepare for film productions.

The star of the Rambo movie franchise recently revealed his diet and exercise routine when filming Rambo 4 in 2007 and The Expendables in 2009.

Stallone told Borntoworkout.com last year his exercise routine during the 2000s involved four-week training camps before filming that included training twice a day, six days per week.

Chest, back and abs training:

Shoulders, arms and abs training:

Calves and thighs training:

Rear deltoids, traps and abs training:

The fitness site also reported Stallones diet while training for his recent movie roles.

His focus on high levels of protein and carbohydrate is similar to the diets used by bodybuilders.

Pre-breakfast: A glass of liquid amino acids

Breakfast: Three egg whites, half yoke, Irish oatmeal, toasted pumpernickel bread, fresh papaya, few figs

Lunch: Roasted summer squash, broiled skinless chicken, salad, figs or berries

Dinner: Salad, broiled fish, high-fiber toasted bread; occasionally eats veal.
