I got into similar shape a few years back while training in amateur boxing. Intence 1.5 hour training sessions at least 6 times a week up 1/
To 10. I didn't need to dehydrate as some people suggest, diet was pretty good, and I can't stress this enough, down lighting.

Wow didnt realize how many fitness/nutrition experts there are on imgur
OngoGoblogianTheArtCollector
he is more healtier than I am, even with the diabettes
gabble13gjgj360
As someone who works out 3 hours a day. It's really about diet.
Xarr
Plus a lot of actors use steroids and other drugs to help get the right shape in a short amount of time.
whysocerial
If you don't mind getting beat up a bit, eating right and Jiu-Jitsu also works
TheWhipLash
I stopped getting a good workout in Jiu-Jitsu after I started getting better. More efficient leverages etc. Barely broke a sweat.
Psychobabblejj
Also steroids
crabrat
Ppl dont get how mainstream steroids have become. Not just for insanely huge bodybuilders anymore.
justtruth
Well you don't have to do all of that... but it does take awhile. It's a lifestyle change. You can still eat shitty but you stop wanting to

jimmyjamespresents
Leaving out the steroids but I guess studio will pay for that too
GTimgur
When I started getting super fit, I felt like an idiot for not knowing beforehand that having those bodies is actually a job.
gangyontheganges
And steroids.... LOTS of steroids
MesmerHSDE
The results he got are EXTREMELY attainable without the use of PEDs.
Not to say that he didn't use them, and I'm sure steroid use is rampant in Hollywood,.
Enkeria
Started out okey then just crushed my dreams.
sotronics
Gaining mass.

I remember when he got fat and thought it was a body suit.

I actually only started watching It's Always Sunny because he looked so fit. I might be gay... don't tell my wife and kids.

I always doubt that someone can get that ripped in less than a year even under ideal conditions. Drugs probably helped too.
seckzie
This is their work when preparing for a movie or show, they go to exercise and lift weights for 8 hours a day as others go to regular work.
If you start with normal body, you can. Especially if you do nothing else all day, and keep a strict diet, as he describes. Also no stress.
Even if you have all day every day to workout, you can't speed up recovery without drugs. Idk though, maybe.
Wolverenis
Besides trainer, most of that is pretty realistic for the average dude
jsenne
Fuckin bullshit lol. Since when is "its possible if u devote all ur free time and effort into it" pretty realistic.
depressingcomments
8 hour work day + hour unpaid lunch + hour driving to and from work. Add cooking meals at home, clean up, laundry, and good forbid you have
A kid or 2, it's basically impossible. With the time we're given you basically have to choose: health, hobby or relax time. You can have 2,
Maybe if you stretch it. But you'll never have everything with what's expected of the average full time worker.
I find the time working 10+ hrs a day. Time management dawg
agvillas
Kumail Nanjiani basically said the same thing. If it was up to him, he’d never do it but all that Marvel money and resources helped.
thanksarthur
That's interesting. He was on the Conan podcast and mentioned wanting to be am in shape funny guy. It's working for him!
SaraFourImgur
It's amazing how much he changed for the role of Captain America.

But didn't you just read how hard it was for him to get that body shape?! Fat mac is setting unrealistic expectations.

My favorite part of fat Mac was he apparently did it so they could call him "BigMac" because Rob and Charlie thought it would be funny
hardytardigrade
Fat Mac is the Big Mac
cazzletron
Not country Mac?
SarcasticComment
He was a sinner so god smited him for his sinful ways
May he rest in piece.

bloodydingo
He wasn't fat, he was cultivating mass.
ensensu
There's either yeast or a kid in there.
They were just backburnering it until he hit two-hundo.
StalkerMagnetxx
not to be excessively hetero online but i want fat Mac to crush me into smithereens
ThoughtsAndBeers
wait I just remembered that Mac is gay lmaoooo he wouldn't even want me
Fat Mac was in the closet...you still had a chance.
a girl can dream
cancerriddenlung
What an odd thing to say.
We all have our silly crushes we'd like to be crushed by.
I'm sure I'm not telling you new information here but...you know he married sweet Dee in real life yeah?
Of course and they're super cute! People can have unrealistic crushes
FuzzyLama
Also, be dehydrated while shooting.
YouL0stTheGame
To the point where you’re 99% sure you’ll die within the hour
TrundImaginationBandit
Nah he drank fight milk
thelonepig
I was super fit for while, but yeah it's miserable and you need all new friends and habits and you feel like you're dying a lot.
Noblert
I can dehydrate all i want and not look like that
superfjun
opti lights is everything.. and yeah muscle makeup
Threadnomancer
But like, REALLY dehydrated
Rkfinecake
That's what fighters do to make weight for the weigh ins. You're right, not sustainable. With the correct amount of body fat, your abs>
probably wouldn't show very well, generally speaking. Yes, some people's genetics and results from PED's are exceptions.
afroniner
Hey man, keep your pediatrics to yourself
NdotGreeze
There is a fairly large window in general between suboptimal bodyfat percentage and not being able to see abs.
zerothealien
What does being dehydrated do to help look more ripped?
NotAThrowAwayJustDontWantToUseMyRealName
Dehydrated = everything's tight (tight muscles, tight skin) and kind of slightly inflamed. Hydrated = plump smooth skin, happy flat muscles.
KingCrumpin
This thread is dripping with people who don’t try very hard to get in shape it would seem. All kinds of excuses...
ProfessorChaos
Lol. Yep. Bunch of weekend warriors. I’ve looked like that for over ten years and I eat whatever I want. Just have to be consistent.
BitchButcher
Graham Norton Show?
Antrazit
This. Being well built is very possible, but if you dont have KILLER genetics, you'll have to be completely dry plus perfect light to look
InconspicuousCanuck
don't forget the steroids and growth hormone
Most of them, yea for them movie prep, yea
Hollywood levels of jacked
Kodaxmax
also really bad for your brain and organs
And down lighting, down lighting is key
dart223
That's ridiculous. I find the overly exaggerated muscles gross but to make yourself sick and dehydrated is beyond logic.
ManofTimes
What is the context?
DetectiveSloth
Henry Cavil recently said that for a bath scene in The Witcher he was weaned off water for 4 days.
WeeBabySeamus22
WOT
Yup, last 3 days was 1 liter of water for a day, then half, then none.
By the day of the shoot he was extremely dehydrated, having had no water for around 24 hours.
GuyWithDog
Yeah the post recently was an eye opener to me. Basically 2 days no water for the money shot. Another and you'd be dead...
Assassine
Got a link to that post? Curious
Tonberryc
I used to spend a lot of time with bodybuilder friends. Their diet for 6 months before a show reads like a torture novel.
Pyrocy779
What post?
hellishhk117
That’s what I’m wondering.
amarangel
Henry Cavill described his regimen for shirtless Witcher scenes. He dramatically reduces water and eliminates it for two days. 1/2
He described smelling water several feet away while performing. I think it the practice should be banned.
therealsarahconnor
Wasn’t there also multiple other actors stating the same thing, like Hugh Jackman and Chris Evans, and also Christian Bale, if irc?
matthiasfactor
Actually you can go closer to six days without water depending on your activity level
Ocek
There was that one long distance runner who survived in the desert for like two weeks or something.
ididntgetthejobatfruitloops
Depends on your kidneys
acertainjenesaisquoi
Yeah, but doing it repeatedly over a short period? That'll fuck you up.
PyrosHaveMoreFun
You’re still eating, and that will get you some liquid
ButtsMcGee86
That and all the piss you drink when you're trying to dehydrate yourself.
JasonKillerxD
But my moneyshot will come out like dust if I’m dehydrated for 2 days.
