"you need to clean up your diet and do resistance training at least 3 times a week for an hour, and be consistent."

It takes a lot more than that. A good diet and moderate exercise will keep you in a slim/lean shape, but it won't get you Hollywood ripped.

Actually having a muscular looking physic requires aggressive training, or naturally doing activity which requires lots of muscles (Dancing, climbing, acrobatics, sports).

most people dont actually care about looking like Thor. if you want to have visible abs and a decent amount of muscle (brad pitt in fight club), that can be achieved in a couple years of training/dieting for the majority of people
