I'm sure lots of actors on "TRT" don't know that's called steroids.

A regular "vitamin shot" in the rear end doesn't mean what it used to (in Hollywood).

Time posted:The diet and workout is the same you would get from good advice online, there’s no secret methods you don’t know. It’s the paying for someone every single day to make sure you don’t get lazy that works wonders. It would just be much easier if someone was putting that mental work in for you, and all you have to do is show up and do what you're told.

I really don't know why you want to argue with the idea that getting fit quickly is easier when you have aides helping you do it.

A spreadsheet isn't gonna hold your hand though, and tell you "well done" when you finish a set. Also no one is literally paying you to work out (I assume). That's like a motivation thing that most people in this thread don't have a problem with but it's not that way for everyone.

Any motherfucker can compete in a bodybuilding show, they ain't turning down money. My 310 pound hairy self could compete in a bodybuilding show. Wouldn't do well but I could compete.

I just said it’s not some secret info those people have, it’s having someone there to hold you accountable constantly which is why it’s so expensive and out of reach for most people. It wasn’t supposed to be contentious at all, it was pointing out why it’s so expensive. You have to pay a lot of people for a lot of time. If it was just a question of having the right info this poo poo would be easy. It’s someone there at 5:30am making sure you aren’t tapping out of a set half way through because you are tired or grabbing a pizza because you are really hungry

Probably helps having a paycheck rely on reaching a certain level of swole.

The Rock was on all the gear his body could handle from like 2010 to 2015. In Pain & Gain in particular he looks loving ludicrous.

I wouldn't count The Rock or Arnold because it was always their job to be big. My Hollywood transformation vote still goes to Bale for how fast he did the Machinist to Batman conversion.

Was the principal photography a year apart or the movie releases? Because that is an insane transformation on Bales part either way tbh

BOOTY-ADE posted:Wasn't there a story about Bale having to slim down because he'd bulked up too much for Batman Begins? I swear I'd heard that somewhere, but it's still an impressive feat to go from Machinist ghoul to swole Batman Yeah they had told him to bulk up as much as possible before filming but he wound up gaining so much weight the crew was calling him "Fatman" behind his back

Didn't Bale do that trip again when he did that war camp movie and then the next one was another Batman movie? Dude's got muscle cell nuclei. ovenboy fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Oct 8, 2019 |

doverhog posted:There was a weight cutting guru in MMA a few years ago that some fighters would hire, and it turned out his secret method was that he would literally live with the fighter and only allow them to eat things he prepared so it was impossible cheat on your diet unless you were smuggling candybars with you into the shitter. The Bulgarian weightlifting team lived with Ivan Abadjiev and were only allowed to go out on certain days of the week (probably on pain of not getting your dbol ration if you broke the rules)

I understand now why strength training is much better than cardio, you can't wipe out a weeks worth of strength training on a pizza. Also strength training is additive so as long as you are consistent you'll be able to muscle poo poo around.

It’s good for you and your heart though so just do some weighted cardio.

Khorne posted:You can never know. There's nothing about that picture that isn't achievable naturally though. He doesn't even have much mass for a natural in most areas. Bordering on DYEL territory for how lean he is. Except his abs. If you look at most people who do steroids on gym boards they just look like natural people. Swole, most of the time, but nothing you'd look at and go "that's impossible to do naturally" the point of steroids is not to balloon up into a meatmonster like pro bodybuilders. It's to build more mass more effectively in a shorter time period. To reach your goal physique faster. That's why actors do it, so they can have a full body transformation in 8 months as a 40 year old guy

A friend of mine who is pretty skinny is now super jacked in the calf muscles at least, from hiking in the last year. He does 13 mile hikes. I'm here being like 'but... but cardio kills gains!' Clearly that's not the case. He's about 160 lbs to my 230 and his calf muscles are about 1.5 the size of mine.

He's about 160 lbs to my 230 and his calf muscles are about 1.5 the size of mine. 13 mile hikes are a little different than spending 60-90 minutes in the gym. My brother is an avid hiker that's also been lifting for the last 15 years straight. When he started doing weekly long hikes he shrank in size across the board, even though his body fat % stayed the same (very low). He has a hard time getting in enough calories to maintain mass. My calves are larger than his at this point and my pulls are much higher as well.

All evidence points to calves not being a muscle since it behaves the opposite to every other muscle in the human body re: growing them things.

On Century Rides all the old white dudes asked me where I get my calves, they get disappointed when I tell them it’s from lifting.Khorne posted:As someone who got a charlie horse in each calf this weekend while tent camping in below freezing weather, yeah calves are jerks. And I don't get the weak ones. I get the "my body is dumb as hell and tensed it up so much it's painful to touch or do anything for the next few days" tier of calve cramps. I grew up having those cramps weekly (I was mega fat) the trick is to extend your leg and point your toes at your face. For me it instantly stops the cramps and no soreness the next couple days.

Do a rep of calf work for every rep you do for your biceps.
