From Jan 18 2024 to July 8 (today) I went from 24% to 17%. I've been strict on my diet and work out 6 days a week. 165 pounds to 152 pounds. Almost 6 months. There's no way these people aren't taking anything. You can't grow that much muscle in such a short time. Average person would gain 10 pounds of muscle a year. then like 5 pounds of muscle after that.
@@sundownstudios2.075 you are absolutely correct. All of these guys believing they are natty have either never trained and dieted hard in their life - and therefore don’t realize that’s not enough - or they train and diet like shit and therefore assume that if they just weren’t lazy and undisciplined they would look like a superhero too.
Got to give it to the actors doing the workouts and staying on their diets. Most people won't do a fraction of the work. But yes, no way to get super shredded or jacked in a couple months without a little "help." But six weeks of intense and diet exercise will do amazing transformation. It just won't add 30 pounds of muscle.
Very interesting video. I was a teenager when the MCU was just starting and getting huge. I think 16 or so when avengers came out. I remember seeing Captain America and, aside from liking the character in general, thinking "I'm going to look just like that in my 20s". I had just gotten into working out at 14 and was then at 16 pretty fit but skinny. I trained hard. I got big but never got cut properly. I was a fat kid that got into fitness when I was 14 and I think that has made it a but harder to cut later in life. I was so focused on my goal and wanting to look good that I went into calorie deficit for very long periods and I was so hungry it was affecting my performance in college and later my work as a 2LT in the Army. When I still failed to achieve the results I wanted I did get very depressed about it and even fairly body dysmorphic. I met the woman who would be my wife around this time and she was, and still is, very impressed by my size, strength, and agility. But I ignored her compliments because I didn't look how I thought I should. I even started the process of trying to get TRT in my late 20s. Never actually ordered it though but the though because my natural test levels are decent. But the thought of using it is always in the back of my mind. I probably will in my late 30s to slow aging. TLDR the dysmorphia young people get from watching these movies is real. It affected me badly and still does.

Very interesting and complete description of "how they do it". Some with good genetics and work; some with gear and work, all with diet and work. Easy to see what the common element is: work.
I believe a VERY large majority of these actors use just diet and exercise. A lot can be achieved when you have the best experts guiding your progress, and you don't have a separate job to go to. It's still very impressive what they are able to do. Part of the help I bet they get is psychological in keeping the motivation high enough throughout to stay on the diet and do the workouts.
No , they definitely use drugs. These kinds of transformations are impossible to achieve in such a short time , nor is it possible to maintain this type of physique when getting older. Even if you are genetically gifted.
It isn't possible for a guy in his 30s or 40s to get ripped like that in a matter of a fee months naturally. Hollywood people are experts at lying. They're very obviously on the juice.
I think one thing most people are forgetting is that this is their job. If I had my calendar clear for 6 months and was told there was a big paycheck at the end of it if I were shredded at the end of that 6 months, damn straight I would be.
Expensive performance enhancing drugs (PED's) from the studio doctors along with rigorous training and carefully crafted diets are the reasons for the ripped transformations!
As I’m on medical drugs this slows my metabolism and even controlling in take of food doesn’t take any effect. Best time I ever saw was when I went into hospital and was monitored when I came off my drugs. When I got home, I lost 20kg in 4 weeks but after a year of constant exercise my weight kicked back up as I was put back on my drugs. It’s so annoying I’d look so fit when off my drugs but it’ll be a H & S risk to do so.
When bulking up and eating 6000 calories getting in enough protein is easy. 250g of protein is 1000 calories. That is only 17% of your food. The trick and the problem is you need a set amount of protein even when you are changing your calories. So when getting lean and eating 2000 calories you still need 250g of protein. Now half of everything you eat is protein.

They aren't Natty Dr the majority of people will not get ripped in 6 months of hard training like a actor. It takes 2 to 3 years of regular training to build a good base. So when a vin Desil goes from fat gut smoking to ripped body at the age of 50 something. Yeah he is on some anabolic juice. The only people who don't realise this are people who don't workout or never really have taken up working out seriously.
No, regular people can get ripped in 6 months. Hour of weight lifting, hour of cardio, 500 calories below maintenance, not counting the extra exercise. Yes, you can lose 25-50# of fat and add 5-10# of muscle if you have never been a lifter before. If you want to go hard, lift weights for 5-10 hours a week, and do cardio for 10-20 hours a week.

You can get jacked as fuck eating cheeseburgers all day long, so long as you're within a manageable caloric surplus and getting enough protein to sustain muscle growth. A calorie is a calorie. Is doesn't matter if it's from a grain of sugar or a grain of rice. Of course micronutrients are important for bodily functions, but they're easily obtained without being forced to eat chicken and broccoli for every meal.
My dad was an anatomical and clinical pathologist and he used to laugh anytime some shirtless dude came out while we watched our telenovelas and he would say they were pectoral transplants . RIP papá.
If you start blasting all the steroids and DON'T have all the negative effects, you will add a few pounds of muscle, as your base ability to build and hold muscle increases. To get that jacked, you do have to bust your ass in the gym.
@@logangodofcandy Irrelevant. I never said they didn't work hard. I said that their gains are because of steroids. Them working hard without the juice would not NEARLY produce the same results.

no its still mostly diet and training. the roids just help them look really big and full instead of skinny. very possible to look good and lean while natural but you wont be as large as these guys
I have been erecting scaffolds for the last 35+ years, now retired for 10 months at the age of 65, weighing 210 lbs at 5'8" I can STILL do my job at 80% equal to lifting, carrying and mounting 11.000 lbs per day while walking 10-15.000 steps, half of them carrying between 25-100 lbs Yes I look like a pear 🍐🍐 and could do with loosing some 65 lbs, and I'm usoing a gym, but MAN IT IS Tough
@@logangodofcandy Carbs are the exact opposite of a diuretic. They make you retain water. In all but the weakest beer, the alcohol, which is a diuretic, just happens to be stronger than the carbs, making it a diuretic overall. One beer certainly isn't going to dehydrate someone like Jason Momoa enough to make a difference. He'd need to also be taking lasix or similar meds.
@@borghorsa1902 probably mostly test, not a steroid. The men just need to blast their test out of the park. But possibly some quick cycles of anabolics.
I can put on 10% of my bodyweight in muscle in 3 months and stay quite lean, after a long layoff. I've done it several times. It might look suspicious if you didn't know I'd started below my "natural" size and well below my previous maximum lean size. It's still a lot less than what some of these actors do, of course.
And probably should never admit it. Most people don't know much about it, so it's still better if they think it takes an unholy amount of effort, a personal trainer and an expensive diet, than a magical pill. Sure, some will try fully replicating it and might juice it up because they're disappointed by results, but that's a fairly tiny amount.
Cap, as in Captain america. You know, the line in the first avengers when banner says that he's always angry before turning into the hulk immediately? Are you laying attention?
and hard work. Most people would not get jacked even with this kind of help, just because they would not train hard enough. Of course they would gain muscle, but at this level? The kind of guy that doesn't work out would not stick with the hard work
@@eliasbram3710Jesus Christ, there's always one of you isn't there? Has to come on make some stupid comment about how "you dun got tu train hard you can't just take duh gear." Turns out you can just take gear and gain muscle. That's an actual thing maybe try researching this stuff. The problem is that all things being equal, the guy on gear actually doesn't need to train as hard as the guy who's not on gear. That's a fact. The guy on gear can train pretty mildly and still make better gains than the guy training naturally and busting his ass. Stop spouting this absurd nonsense about people on steroids working out really hard. They may they may not. But who cares? Tons of people not on gear workout hard!
@@samueldavis5895how does that work for you? Simply asking as I am 46. I used to blast lots of test and YK11 in the past, and got huge. I have always wanted to start again, but only do a TRT level of test and take Anavar with it.
Honestly most assume there is something going on with the men in the pictures. The eye opening truth is when people realize how rampant they are in society. People you’d never think to be on are on and way more than you think. One major reason is because the people that casually admit it are so freakishly big compared to those around them they don’t pass the eye test. They don’t understand how much they are using compared to others. If you look up eugen sandow that will give you exactly how big and lean one can get without the use of hormones. Anything more than marginally bigger lean than that is using some sort of enhancement. Doctors lawyers your buddy at the gym the guy who swears it’s hard work and genetics nope it’s hormones.
Good video for natural lifters but these Hollyweird actors are on gear. If you wanna look like Chris Hemsworth you're going to need his parents and loads of gear. Hugh Jackman isn't waking up at 2am to eat chicken and broccoli at 55 years old to reprise his Wolverine role, he's back on cycle.
Agreed, but even then, he noted it took him a year and a half to get to Wolverine and Deadpool level of aesthetics, with trainers, and every single meal being prepared for him.
This will be an interesting video! Dr Mike Isratel at Renaissance Periodisation who is a PhD in Sports Science and also a highly skilled body builder has often discussed this very topic and had some genuinely fascinating insights. I encourage everyone to watch him as well the Doc's own superlative analysis :)
I'm over 50 and hadn't hit the gym since my early 20's. Due to circumstances, I could afford the time and started hitting the gym 2 months ago. My goal wasn't to get jacked, I was just feeling my body starting giving up and wanted to do something about it. So, I started training every other day, 15 minutes cardio, 45 minutes weights- a schedule that's easy to keep. I also implemented small changes- musli bars instead of chocolate, whole wheat bread instead of white, less carbs, more meat and veggies and most important , vaping instead of heavy smoking. After two months, I lost 20 pounds, dropped two sizes in pants and one in shirts, my posture is corrected, I don't weez out, I sleep better and I don't need knee and back support bandages anymore when I go to work. You don't need to match the dedication of the pros to reap measurable benefits for a small time investement and minor inconveniencies. Hit the gym. Even for such a small amount of dedication as mine. It feels good!
And once you look like that, you can't grow much more. I got my body size and definition 15 years ago, and have been toiling the whole time making strength gains still but not size gains or even definition (which is more controlled by body fat %). Now it takes a lot to raise my max if a major lift by 10 pounds, possibly weeks. And yeah, I don't look any more jacked than when I was in my early 20's and not as jacked as many movie actors, but I remember taking only 2 to 3 years to fill out from skinny wimp to what I look like today.
@@gregmoldovan5921honestly either some aspect of your training isn't cutting it or you just don't have the best genetics (probably not that if you made good gains early on). It does get harder with time but people who can put on good amounts of muscle for the first few years can usually keep making gradual size gains for more than 2-3 years if training, diet, and recovery are on point and being done intelligently.
The cult of celebrity body transformations gave me an unrealistic expectation of what fitness meant for the longest time. My health improved significantly once I stopped thinking of fitness as a goal and more as life style that I have adopted and will maintain for the rest of my life, even once I have become an old man. Looking good is a positive by product of exercise and diet, while the goal for me is overall health and longevity. I no longer worry about what I will look like in 6 months. I just put in the work and let my body do its thing.
are you old yet? If no: warning, it sucks balls. You don't want to work out, and when you do work out: nothing happens. T is the most important chemical in the survival of human DNA (and I say that as a smart af PHD scientist).
I got one thing i havent heard before from here, "No one can sell you hardwork and dedication, so no one ever talks about it." That makes sense. And encouraging. Thanks, doc.
There's so much in the fitness space that sells you hard work and dedication successfully (the people who don't sell smoke and mirrors and joke exercises like celebrity trainers and fitness influencers). Mostly people who have some exercise science background and have built reputation in giving out reliable information, people who don't oversell their stuff but are fair and square about it. Anybody can make a successful training program after watching a couple of youtube videos, but people pay those who can sell them hard work and dedication and make them take them as their own.
@@bindingcurveand you never will..you are NOT them! You have different voy type and make up,,you have your own unique body pls stop comparing it to others.. and do what your own body is capable nkt someone else..we ate all different we all don't look the same as our idols.
The whole body transformation is also part of the marketing push for these roles, a good why to drum up interest, and why you had the clips to use in the video. A good way to get some perspective on things is looking at what Bruce Willis looked like in Die Hard, or a young Harrison Ford for example. Those would not be body types fitting similar roles these days.
I'm on TRT. But I'm on TRT because my testosterone levels dropped all the way down to 283, when they should be between 600 and 800. I gradually gained 60lbs, lost all my energy and didn't want to do anything. And in my family it's genetic. Both of my brothers and my father have low T. And after turning 40(im 43 now), i just got worse and worse. So I am not taking it to give me a boost or make me get bigger, I'm taking it to get back to my normal life and normal weight
I'm sorry, unless I misheard, that transformation at the end in 8 months (by that actor) is going to disappoint almost anyone who tries the same. Nice feel-good message and all, but that's going to be more like 2-3+ years even for dedicated people. I don't think he believed it himself when he blurted 8 months.
more like 5+ years and yeah its also just unrealistic regardless. these guys are juiced up, and have pro trainers and dieticians to do all the hard work for them
@VGEmblem They say actors take 8 months to get in shape, but their always in shape always. Actors like The Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Hemsworth. They stay in shape to get action Movie's. So if they have to get a little more jacked. They go hard for 5 months, but their already close. Camera tricks make them look bigger than they actually are. Plus, they dehydrate themselves for all those shirtless shots.
Negative. Steroids are cheaper than supplements. High quality doctor prescribed growth hormone is the $9900 of that monthly hormone bill. Can easily get 20 years of therapeutic test for $500, no lie. Super rich and famous people are sucking the well dry of medicine terminally ill people need. I’m sure Chris will leave the answer open ended since hormones have such a taboo history in the United States. It’s really remarkable the lore mystery and frankly BS that surrounds hormones and their use. An entire multibillion dollar industry (fitness) COMPLETELY dependent on their use while simultaneously denying their use at all. It’s truly fascinating and honestly a cultural anomaly that needs to be studied.
you don't need 10k a month, Test cost less than $100 per month, other roids = $200 max per month. All you need is Test cycle only, you will amazing. but don't do it without a goal that pays money.
Obviously, it's not natural. These guys spend millions of dollars on the finest doctors, and fitness experts advised steroids. Refined from near a hundred years, maybe more of anebolic steriod research. It's fine, they only compete in a theatre. But really we should rethink our social morales about steriod use. Give me anball drug olympics, include prosthetic appendages. Cyberpunk, Ghost in the Shell, Matrix future. "Everytime an athlete breaks a record, or a mathmetician deduces a new formula, the entire of humanity evolves, and advances." Bill Hicks (I think)
In the end, its like you said, its a lifestyle change. I'm 44, 5'10 disabled Vet that had gained 60 pounds since being medically retired., my weight in January was in the 250's. My health was declining quickly, and I decided after my doctors visit to make a change. Hard work and dedication, along with realistic fitness goals has changed my life. 7 months later, I'm now 195ish and feeling amazing. It took alot of dedication and time to cut weight and build muscle in a healthy way, and its still a hard journey ahead, but it can be done without drastic over the top workouts and expensive trainers, I'm living proof of that. At first, I just started walking, and journaled as I slowly moved into weight training. Now, its something I never want to stop, I never want to be that old me again, I worked too hard for this new me, and my life has changed.
I'm an actor and also content creators, and yeah I can assure you, 99% use PED's, even the ones that "look normal", in social media, a lot may be natty now, but they gained all their physique thanks to PEDs, and then just stopped and maintain it, but still most of the continue using it 4ever in low doses (Or higher). Best
Another thing that anyone can do is lighting. Side lighting or top down lighting will reveal shapes, whereas front on lighting hides the shape. Plus, they will get a "pump" right before revealing shots are taken. Lighting, posing, and timing goes a long way before digital enhancement happens.
It's always "chicken and rice" 🤣🤣. let me tell you, I'm 41 years old and I've been lifting since I was 14. And I look NOTHING like any of those superheroes 🤣🤣🤣 Do with that info what you want....
From what I know, taking PED is a criminal offense in some places. So you can't really fault someone for not admitting to taking them. However, those people that make up the wildest stories about how their clearly 'roided physique is somehow natural can and should be criticised for their lies.
If he doesn't say steroids I'm never watching another one of his videos... He's not going to... Wow... OK, so he backdoored it. I guess he could get sued but he could've proven it's all BS very easily without saying it.
Did this guy really have tp make a video about this. THE ACTORS ARE DEFINITE.Y USING STEROIDS. I know there are some naive people out there. They never tell the truth about using steroids. That Rock guy is sticking to his story about eating 10,000 calories a day and rice chicken and broccoli.
Im sorry, saying that you think they are being completely honest about how they achieve their physiques is insane. I normally find your videos honest and informative, but you just bowed to their nonsense here. The lying and secrecy are the worst part in their industry because they are very destructive to young people. Also, most people are so ignorant of the topic that they just buy into it all. The normies think that only giant muscle bound people use steroids while most people using steroids aren't jacked. There are everyday people using steroids just to lose weight for summer or to look better for IG. Also, look at cyclists in the Tour De France. A majority of the athletes are literally on PEDs, but they are not giants. They are very lean. I find it strange how actors, actresses, etc, are protected in their PED usage. The fact is, they are ILLEGAL drugs in the US. If it was common for them to use meth or heroine to achieve their physiques, would they still be supported? Why are none of them getting busted for the use of illegal drugs? Why are none of their doctors being busted for providing them? Those are rhetorical questions because we all know it comes down to who has the money. Normal citizens have to go through sketchy sources to get these things and will get in trouble if they are caught. It's not just the risks of the PEDs themselves that's an issue. Because young people don't have celebrity doctors providing them, they end up going through the sketchy sources and really have no idea what they are even getting. Let's say they do get the actual PED. They are still not having their health markers monitored during use like the celebrities and athletes do.
It’s like the pascal wager - will it hurt to believe in god ? No . But to die and then find out there was a god ? Sorry for ya . Working out might not get you Arnold’s or Bruce body . But it’ll be better than yours . If in three months you don’t like what you see ? Stop ! 😊
they don't have the best experts in diet and exercise. The real science based trainers are found in Olympics sports. These celebrity trainers ain't the type that research on Medline and reading peer reviewed articles on exercise physiology and nutritional science.
But they don't have the best trainers and people to help them. Most trainers I've seen say some dumb ass shit and don't know jack about fitness. Mostly the new fad type of training, all dumb ass shit. Never seen a single guy say or do anything that made sense
Steroids didn’t become controversial until 1990 and Jose’ Canseco admitted to using them in Major League Baseball. Arnold retired from competitive bodybuilding in 1980…

Just saying, yes, I’m insanely jelly and yes, I respect the hell out of the movie stars that earn their physique (and their careers!)
Thanks Doc great video. Remind me about a lot of stuff I’ve been ignoring for a few years. Time to go back to work.🙏🏽✊🏾
28:53 Thank you for putting it, as it is.
You can get jacked as fuck eating cheeseburgers all day long, so long as you're within a manageable caloric surplus and getting enough protein to sustain muscle growth. A calorie is a calorie. Is doesn't matter if it's from a grain of sugar or a grain of rice. Of course micronutrients are important for bodily functions, but they're easily obtained without being forced to eat chicken and broccoli for every meal.
Thank you for you help
The rock is about longevity? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad was an anatomical and clinical pathologist and he used to laugh anytime some shirtless dude came out while we watched our telenovelas and he would say they were pectoral transplants . RIP papá.
8:05 thats overtraining my friend
People need to also remember what they see is edited and only the best shots. Like a model with 100s of photos in a shoot posting the top 3 on IG.
STOP talking about diet. IT'S THE STEROIDS. PERIOD.
HGH too
If you start blasting all the steroids and DON'T have all the negative effects, you will add a few pounds of muscle, as your base ability to build and hold muscle increases.
To get that jacked, you do have to bust your ass in the gym.
@@logangodofcandy Irrelevant. I never said they didn't work hard. I said that their gains are because of steroids. Them working hard without the juice would not NEARLY produce the same results.

no its still mostly diet and training. the roids just help them look really big and full instead of skinny. very possible to look good and lean while natural but you wont be as large as these guys
I have been erecting scaffolds for the last 35+ years, now retired for 10 months at the age of 65, weighing 210 lbs at 5'8"
I can STILL do my job at 80% equal to lifting, carrying and mounting 11.000 lbs per day while walking 10-15.000 steps, half of them carrying between 25-100 lbs
Yes I look like a pear 🍐🍐 and could do with loosing some 65 lbs, and I'm usoing a gym, but MAN IT IS Tough
Training, diet, steroids, makeup and CGI. Water depravation and a pump before shirt-off scenes.
Mostly steroids
Beer has carbs and alcohol, which is a diuretic
@@logangodofcandy Carbs are the exact opposite of a diuretic. They make you retain water. In all but the weakest beer, the alcohol, which is a diuretic, just happens to be stronger than the carbs, making it a diuretic overall. One beer certainly isn't going to dehydrate someone like Jason Momoa enough to make a difference. He'd need to also be taking lasix or similar meds.
@@borghorsa1902 probably mostly test, not a steroid. The men just need to blast their test out of the park. But possibly some quick cycles of anabolics.
@@Real28Test but not a steroid? You understand that thats an oxymoron right?
"If it's possible on that (diet and exercise) alone."
At the rate they do? Nope.
Oh he is aware of that, dude is an M.D. and that's why he winks. 😉
Bale went from twig in Machinist to buff as Batman in a few months. That much that fast, that has to be Dbol.
almost 36 minutes of non-committal
I can put on 10% of my bodyweight in muscle in 3 months and stay quite lean, after a long layoff. I've done it several times. It might look suspicious if you didn't know I'd started below my "natural" size and well below my previous maximum lean size. It's still a lot less than what some of these actors do, of course.
And probably should never admit it. Most people don't know much about it, so it's still better if they think it takes an unholy amount of effort, a personal trainer and an expensive diet, than a magical pill.
Sure, some will try fully replicating it and might juice it up because they're disappointed by results, but that's a fairly tiny amount.
"That's the secret, Cap, I'm always on cycle"

Seriously?? 🙄
Personal trainer, personal dietician, and lots and lots of GEAR!!!
Yup, exactly that. The gear.
and hard work. Most people would not get jacked even with this kind of help, just because they would not train hard enough. Of course they would gain muscle, but at this level? The kind of guy that doesn't work out would not stick with the hard work
@@eliasbram3710Jesus Christ, there's always one of you isn't there? Has to come on make some stupid comment about how "you dun got tu train hard you can't just take duh gear." Turns out you can just take gear and gain muscle. That's an actual thing maybe try researching this stuff. The problem is that all things being equal, the guy on gear actually doesn't need to train as hard as the guy who's not on gear. That's a fact. The guy on gear can train pretty mildly and still make better gains than the guy training naturally and busting his ass. Stop spouting this absurd nonsense about people on steroids working out really hard. They may they may not. But who cares? Tons of people not on gear workout hard!
@@shadowrider7072 I have some gear bit I think I need a lil more!!!
@@spec24 What is "gear"?? Slang for steroids??
Eat clen and tren hard.

No thanks. At 45 the test and anavar is fine for me.
@@samueldavis5895how does that work for you? Simply asking as I am 46. I used to blast lots of test and YK11 in the past, and got huge. I have always wanted to start again, but only do a TRT level of test and take Anavar with it.
Anavar give up!
Wait people actually believe they got there natty?😂
Honestly most assume there is something going on with the men in the pictures. The eye opening truth is when people realize how rampant they are in society. People you’d never think to be on are on and way more than you think. One major reason is because the people that casually admit it are so freakishly big compared to those around them they don’t pass the eye test. They don’t understand how much they are using compared to others. If you look up eugen sandow that will give you exactly how big and lean one can get without the use of hormones. Anything more than marginally bigger lean than that is using some sort of enhancement. Doctors lawyers your buddy at the gym the guy who swears it’s hard work and genetics nope it’s hormones.
I think Chris evens, Ryan Reynolds, Henry Cavill all did it naturally the rest probably did take gear.
Chris Evans can definitely be natty. He basically looks the same all the time and his physique is definitely achievable without roids.
@@blarfroer8066
Chris Evans was relatively stick-like in the Grey Man movie. His weight isn't consistent.
@@Themilkman95 Reynolds is 47. I highly doubt you can stay this shredded after 35-40 without some "help".

Good video for natural lifters but these Hollyweird actors are on gear. If you wanna look like Chris Hemsworth you're going to need his parents and loads of gear. Hugh Jackman isn't waking up at 2am to eat chicken and broccoli at 55 years old to reprise his Wolverine role, he's back on cycle.
Agreed, but even then, he noted it took him a year and a half to get to Wolverine and Deadpool level of aesthetics, with trainers, and every single meal being prepared for him.
Juice is the only answer I will accept
A lot of juice, exercise and diet. nothing else.
What juice ? Pickle juice ?
@@wildhunt6350 Yes, keep dreaming.
S - Steroid 💊😂😂😂😂 no secrets here , just money and steroids. Every sportsman and cine star will use doping and steroids to be better 😂😂😂😂 loool
This will be an interesting video! Dr Mike Isratel at Renaissance Periodisation who is a PhD in Sports Science and also a highly skilled body builder has often discussed this very topic and had some genuinely fascinating insights. I encourage everyone to watch him as well the Doc's own superlative analysis :)
I'm over 50 and hadn't hit the gym since my early 20's.
Due to circumstances, I could afford the time and started hitting the gym 2 months ago.
My goal wasn't to get jacked, I was just feeling my body starting giving up and wanted to do something about it.
So, I started training every other day, 15 minutes cardio, 45 minutes weights- a schedule that's easy to keep.
I also implemented small changes- musli bars instead of chocolate, whole wheat bread instead of white, less carbs, more meat and veggies and most important , vaping instead of heavy smoking.
After two months, I lost 20 pounds, dropped two sizes in pants and one in shirts, my posture is corrected, I don't weez out, I sleep better and I don't need knee and back support bandages anymore when I go to work.
You don't need to match the dedication of the pros to reap measurable benefits for a small time investement and minor inconveniencies.
Hit the gym. Even for such a small amount of dedication as mine. It feels good!
@@KostasHolopain Exactly, most people are mistreating their body so much when they do things right the body responds very quickly….
And once you look like that, you can't grow much more. I got my body size and definition 15 years ago, and have been toiling the whole time making strength gains still but not size gains or even definition (which is more controlled by body fat %). Now it takes a lot to raise my max if a major lift by 10 pounds, possibly weeks. And yeah, I don't look any more jacked than when I was in my early 20's and not as jacked as many movie actors, but I remember taking only 2 to 3 years to fill out from skinny wimp to what I look like today.
Good on you. You will surprise yourself 6 months and a year from now with how far you have come. Age is nothing.
@@alamore5084 Thank you for your words of encouragement!
@@gregmoldovan5921honestly either some aspect of your training isn't cutting it or you just don't have the best genetics (probably not that if you made good gains early on). It does get harder with time but people who can put on good amounts of muscle for the first few years can usually keep making gradual size gains for more than 2-3 years if training, diet, and recovery are on point and being done intelligently.
Poor Kumail Nanjiani... He did all the work, and didnt even get to take his shirt off for Eternals.
That made no sense even if he did go shirtless
Oh no, he got into great shape. What a devastating blow on the man..
He abused steroids. That cut years off the end of his life.
@@logangodofcandy i dont doubt he used gear. idk about abusing
Seems like an elaborate prank to me
The cult of celebrity body transformations gave me an unrealistic expectation of what fitness meant for the longest time. My health improved significantly once I stopped thinking of fitness as a goal and more as life style that I have adopted and will maintain for the rest of my life, even once I have become an old man. Looking good is a positive by product of exercise and diet, while the goal for me is overall health and longevity. I no longer worry about what I will look like in 6 months. I just put in the work and let my body do its thing.
are you old yet? If no: warning, it sucks balls. You don't want to work out, and when you do work out: nothing happens. T is the most important chemical in the survival of human DNA (and I say that as a smart af PHD scientist).
I got one thing i havent heard before from here, "No one can sell you hardwork and dedication, so no one ever talks about it." That makes sense. And encouraging. Thanks, doc.
There's so much in the fitness space that sells you hard work and dedication successfully (the people who don't sell smoke and mirrors and joke exercises like celebrity trainers and fitness influencers). Mostly people who have some exercise science background and have built reputation in giving out reliable information, people who don't oversell their stuff but are fair and square about it. Anybody can make a successful training program after watching a couple of youtube videos, but people pay those who can sell them hard work and dedication and make them take them as their own.
@@Yupppi I put in the hard work, look nothing like that.
@@bindingcurveand you never will..you are NOT them! You have different voy type and make up,,you have your own unique body pls stop comparing it to others.. and do what your own body is capable nkt someone else..we ate all different we all don't look the same as our idols.
This video could be 2 seconds of Dr Chris saying "money" and it would be just as accurate.
The whole body transformation is also part of the marketing push for these roles, a good why to drum up interest, and why you had the clips to use in the video.
A good way to get some perspective on things is looking at what Bruce Willis looked like in Die Hard, or a young Harrison Ford for example. Those would not be body types fitting similar roles these days.
They also do i 24:39 t in reverse..which actor had to lose alot of weight for a movie role? Just ad dangerous as gaining weight for a role...
I'm on TRT. But I'm on TRT because my testosterone levels dropped all the way down to 283, when they should be between 600 and 800. I gradually gained 60lbs, lost all my energy and didn't want to do anything. And in my family it's genetic. Both of my brothers and my father have low T. And after turning 40(im 43 now), i just got worse and worse. So I am not taking it to give me a boost or make me get bigger, I'm taking it to get back to my normal life and normal weight
Take wild yam..it's fir women lacking g prg3sterone, estrogen etc,..Aldo helps men produce testosterone....look into it..wild yam cream.....
Vast quantities of steroids, T, various other hormones, growth factors, SARMS, peptides, stem cells etc.
Sarms are absolute garbage.
I wouldn't call Stem Cells "PED's", just cutting edge medical research
I'm sorry, unless I misheard, that transformation at the end in 8 months (by that actor) is going to disappoint almost anyone who tries the same. Nice feel-good message and all, but that's going to be more like 2-3+ years even for dedicated people. I don't think he believed it himself when he blurted 8 months.
The only 8 month transformation I would believe is Chris prat. Cardio and lifting hours a day and get protein and fat. Not hard to recomp that fast
more like 5+ years and yeah its also just unrealistic regardless. these guys are juiced up, and have pro trainers and dieticians to do all the hard work for them
Someone showed up with more money I could make in my life working retail and 8 months I'd find a way
@VGEmblem They say actors take 8 months to get in shape, but their always in shape always. Actors like The Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Hemsworth. They stay in shape to get action Movie's. So if they have to get a little more jacked. They go hard for 5 months, but their already close. Camera tricks make them look bigger than they actually are. Plus, they dehydrate themselves for all those shirtless shots.
@@thereviewartistrrp5493 Uh look at the end of the video for context
steroids. 10k a month on steroids
Negative. Steroids are cheaper than supplements. High quality doctor prescribed growth hormone is the $9900 of that monthly hormone bill. Can easily get 20 years of therapeutic test for $500, no lie. Super rich and famous people are sucking the well dry of medicine terminally ill people need. I’m sure Chris will leave the answer open ended since hormones have such a taboo history in the United States. It’s really remarkable the lore mystery and frankly BS that surrounds hormones and their use. An entire multibillion dollar industry (fitness) COMPLETELY dependent on their use while simultaneously denying their use at all. It’s truly fascinating and honestly a cultural anomaly that needs to be studied.
you don't need 10k a month, Test cost less than $100 per month, other roids = $200 max per month.
All you need is Test cycle only, you will amazing. but don't do it without a goal that pays money.
Not always
These actors get on the juice to look the part
If the answer is natty...
Enhanced
Obviously, it's not natural. These guys spend millions of dollars on the finest doctors, and fitness experts advised steroids. Refined from near a hundred years, maybe more of anebolic steriod research. It's fine, they only compete in a theatre.
But really we should rethink our social morales about steriod use. Give me anball drug olympics, include prosthetic appendages. Cyberpunk, Ghost in the Shell, Matrix future.
"Everytime an athlete breaks a record, or a mathmetician deduces a new formula, the entire of humanity evolves, and advances." Bill Hicks (I think)
Steroids are mostly harmful and should not be promoted for casual use
please collab with Dr mike israetel
I have considered that but I haven’t reached out to him yet.
In the end, its like you said, its a lifestyle change. I'm 44, 5'10 disabled Vet that had gained 60 pounds since being medically retired., my weight in January was in the 250's. My health was declining quickly, and I decided after my doctors visit to make a change. Hard work and dedication, along with realistic fitness goals has changed my life. 7 months later, I'm now 195ish and feeling amazing. It took alot of dedication and time to cut weight and build muscle in a healthy way, and its still a hard journey ahead, but it can be done without drastic over the top workouts and expensive trainers, I'm living proof of that. At first, I just started walking, and journaled as I slowly moved into weight training. Now, its something I never want to stop, I never want to be that old me again, I worked too hard for this new me, and my life has changed.
Juicin 1000%
I'm an actor and also content creators, and yeah I can assure you, 99% use PED's, even the ones that "look normal", in social media, a lot may be natty now, but they gained all their physique thanks to PEDs, and then just stopped and maintain it, but still most of the continue using it 4ever in low doses (Or higher). Best
never seen yah in anythiing? you like a extra in a gum commercial or something?
I've seen wrestlers and fighters eat as if it's part of the workout. Heavy breathing and sweating, did not look enjoyable.
Another thing that anyone can do is lighting. Side lighting or top down lighting will reveal shapes, whereas front on lighting hides the shape. Plus, they will get a "pump" right before revealing shots are taken. Lighting, posing, and timing goes a long way before digital enhancement happens.
Pretty sure if someone showed up with a six to seven figure check and told me I need to have a six pack in 6 months I'd find way
Millions of dollars is a fantastic motivation to get jacked

From what I know, taking PED is a criminal offense in some places. So you can't really fault someone for not admitting to taking them. However, those people that make up the wildest stories about how their clearly 'roided physique is somehow natural can and should be criticised for their lies.
If he doesn't say steroids I'm never watching another one of his videos... He's not going to... Wow... OK, so he backdoored it. I guess he could get sued but he could've proven it's all BS very easily without saying it.
Did this guy really have tp make a video about this. THE ACTORS ARE DEFINITE.Y USING STEROIDS. I know there are some naive people out there. They never tell the truth about using steroids. That Rock guy is sticking to his story about eating 10,000 calories a day and rice chicken and broccoli.
If you think these guys are natty you’re delusional. Especially considering how terrible these Hollywood trainers are..
Im sorry, saying that you think they are being completely honest about how they achieve their physiques is insane. I normally find your videos honest and informative, but you just bowed to their nonsense here. The lying and secrecy are the worst part in their industry because they are very destructive to young people. Also, most people are so ignorant of the topic that they just buy into it all. The normies think that only giant muscle bound people use steroids while most people using steroids aren't jacked. There are everyday people using steroids just to lose weight for summer or to look better for IG. Also, look at cyclists in the Tour De France. A majority of the athletes are literally on PEDs, but they are not giants. They are very lean. I find it strange how actors, actresses, etc, are protected in their PED usage. The fact is, they are ILLEGAL drugs in the US. If it was common for them to use meth or heroine to achieve their physiques, would they still be supported? Why are none of them getting busted for the use of illegal drugs? Why are none of their doctors being busted for providing them? Those are rhetorical questions because we all know it comes down to who has the money. Normal citizens have to go through sketchy sources to get these things and will get in trouble if they are caught. It's not just the risks of the PEDs themselves that's an issue. Because young people don't have celebrity doctors providing them, they end up going through the sketchy sources and really have no idea what they are even getting. Let's say they do get the actual PED. They are still not having their health markers monitored during use like the celebrities and athletes do.
You gotta remember that the doctor is Canadian.
Canadians are very nice people.
It’s like the pascal wager - will it hurt to believe in god ? No . But to die and then find out there was a god ? Sorry for ya .
Working out might not get you Arnold’s or Bruce body . But it’ll be better than yours . If in three months you don’t like what you see ? Stop ! 😊
Having millions of dollars to support your daily life while you spend all day working out and eating chef prepared healthy meals helps, too.
they don't have the best experts in diet and exercise. The real science based trainers are found in Olympics sports. These celebrity trainers ain't the type that research on Medline and reading peer reviewed articles on exercise physiology and nutritional science.
But they don't have the best trainers and people to help them. Most trainers I've seen say some dumb ass shit and don't know jack about fitness. Mostly the new fad type of training, all dumb ass shit. Never seen a single guy say or do anything that made sense
6000 cals a day gtfo. Most people need half that, even trying to grow.
Christopher Reeves did it right for Superman.
And i cant help but to notice how deflated Capt. America are in the beginning of your video vs in the movies.

Most of their workouts are absolutely trash too so if any of the major transformations are natty, I'd be shocked.

This is a good video. But I can sum up the difference between these overnight body changes, versus the average gym bro….. STEROIDS.
I hope looking natural catches on again, at least on social media. Great video, as usual!
