Kevin Hart’s preaching the gospel of gains -- but he’s giving all the credit to his guy Mark Wahlberg ... saying nobody’s doing it like the king of those brutal 4 AM workouts.
TMZ caught up with Kevin at Wally’s in Beverly Hills Wednesday -- and he kept it playful, clowning Mark’s routine as "s***" before flipping it, joking the 54-year-old’s actually 75 and deserves even more credit.
Check the video -- Kevin goes full fanboy over Mark’s grind, which he recently told us is so intense even Druskihad to tap out when he joined him for a session.
But Kev’s not just hyping his boy -- he also gets into his own health kick, showing love to the gym life and shouting out his workout circle along the way.
Safe to say ... Kev is getting hard from his workouts AND over Mark's gainz.
This past weekend delivered two unforgettable moments -- a surprise love confession and a supermodel striptease on the Sunset Strip!
Friday marked the return of the "TMZ Comedy Crawl" -- now happening every week -- and comedian Martin Morrow hosted ... bringing along fellow comedians Ann Flagg and Shane Hartline from the hit show "The Rookie."
Martin was the headliner, giving us nonstop laughs and story time that had us wheezing as we went to the Hollywood Improv for drinks, and sat in on a free show with Dane Cook at the Laugh Factory.
