I agree that he in 300 looked more 'impressive' especially to people who go to gym. But people who don't train much would already think that physique in tomb raider is great. I've been training for 3 years and of course I want to get bigger. But how big you should be to look impressive really depends on for whom. You don't have to look like Gerard Butler in 300 to look impressive (or especially attractive) to normal people who don't train or into bodybuilding.

Gerard Butler also caused a ton of injuries during the training for 300. He got dependent on pain meds and had to go to rehab to get clean. This is probably why he had such an abrupt end after shooting finished. Gear is notorious for joint and ligament damage.

[@The_Chad_Davis]

Here a year later to tell you that you're incorrect. Actually, most steroids help your connective tissue and increase skeletal muscle tissue gain. Some increase the hyaline cartilage within joints.. There's only two steroids notorious for causing joint and ligament issues.

[@Fir3fly798]

Gear is not motorist for joint and ligament damage, that is completely false. The reason why people have joint or ligament issues on gear is primarily because the neurological expression (speed/strength/power output) is increasing disproportionately quickly to the growth of thicker tendons and ligaments. That and the fact gear will cause skeletal muscle growth far quicker than said tendons and ligaments can fully repair and likely there’s an increased risk of injury, especially if one is consciously aware of the strength increase and is pushing the boundaries. Gear itself actually increases tendon and ligament growth, not at the same rate however.

Derek has a really good point. If you are natural, then you are not going to have a great physique for a certain movie and then a year later lose every bit of gains that you had the year prior. You would still retain somewhat of that same body composition. I have always speculated Butler was taking something for the movie 300.

Bruh..his physique in Tomb Raider is great, that's what most average joes who work out naturally can achieve, and that is a good look. The Fitness Industry is out of its mind, they are all about huge bulk, massive shoulders, biceps, and thighs, which can not be achieved naturally no matter how hard you work, you have to take performance enhancing drugs to reach those levels of physique. And taking all those drugs will f*ck up your organs, especially your heart, liver, and kidneys. If you can manage to get a physique like Gerard Butler had in Tomb Raider, you should be proud, and happy with it, most Women do not care about huge muscles and hulk like figure. As long as you're in shape, you're good to go. Do not fall into the traps of Fitness Industry, most people in bodybuilding community have body dysmorphia, they are all on gear and they all believe bigger is better, that's their own individual choice, they can inject whatever they want into their body, but you should be very careful before thinking you can achieve anything like Gerard Butler did in 300 without taking any drugs.

I'd be curious to see of all actors transformations who you'd say is the best, like a top 5 or top 10. I think Gerald Butler would rank near the top.

[@billybob9961]

Great video thank you

[@jdmalm123]

I was 175 @ 8% BF natural when I was 24... herniated some discs at 25 and had a year of zero activity (due to intense pain) and i lost 25 lbs of muscle... was a liitle cautious in rehab and had a set back but i re-comped in just over a year still natty. I think his gain/loss surrounding 300 was possible plus some movie magic. When I was 38, took HRT for 6 months (75mg) and went from 185 natural and peaked to 205. Never lost more than 5 lbs after that cycle until I really wanted to...

[@zemm9003]

Maybe you have terrible genetics. I have never heard anyone going from 175 to 150 by stopping for only 1 year. I have been training on and off and I have never lost so much even after 18 months of 0 training. Never. Neither have anyone I know, they still keep decent size as naturals, even if they do not train for very long periods.

[@jamesstclair2294]

I think in a interview he hinted that he took the juice. Also they did admit they used CGI for the abs of the extras.

For everyone

This video is gold💪 Got through my evening activities while listening to this👌 You should do Robert DeNiro in Cape Fear👀

[@DiamorphineDeath]

That’s a pretty infamous one, he went quite hard for that role...and it was a great character overall. I second that request

[@NakedSnake85]

Also, how about Charlie Sheen on Hot Shots 2?

[@ddl4374]

His physique was righteous in that role. Especially for him. He does a great job being different people for different roles.

[@muzikbogdy]

Can you make a video about Daniel's Craig body transformation?Thank you

[@alexandrasimon7191]

I so love this video!!! I'll check out all your other uploads, and it's especially valuable as my boyfriend is having issues with his physique which I (and I think most women would) find beyond amazing, but he simply can not complete naturally with all these macho prime übermensch we always see in movies. I just want him and other men to realize how these men aren't naturals and no one is actually wanting or expecting them to suffer and struggle to look like this.

[@CobrazHD]

I `m just curious how his legs are so smooth in 300 when his upperbody is kinda ripped.

[@joelgarner667]

I’m a lifetime natural and yes you can lose a ton of muscle depending on your genetic predisposition by simply not training and eating the right amount for a matter of months

It's creatine. He took creatine. Damn that drug should be banned!

creatine is harmless bruh

[@cwheels01]

Ban amino acids

[@Drive_Camp_Ride]

Great video....new sub !

[@UnplugNUnwind]

I’m actually more on the side of him just taking this role more seriously and having great makeup, pump for scenes. Don’t think this was enhanced other than movie magic!

[@billybob9961]

I can definitely say from experience having worked out for many many years decades and then stop working out that you will maintain a pretty decent amount of muscle for years after you have built it up not as much definition but decent looking muscle 10 years away from heavy weight lifting

[@general_electrics]

15:04 - I was watching this between sets... full natty and nothing to look twice at. At this point, I did a double facepalm.

[@bitrage.]

I like the way you analyze EACH person individually based on previous/during/after, and not comparing X person vs Y person.... Many ppl just say "That is achievable naturally!!" and completely put blinders on for the rest.... It maybe be achievable naturally, BUT in the time given with the person genetics is it possible for THEM to get from X to Y..... I am in the CGI industry, OBVIOUSLY you know how to edit video, I dont know how much you know about ACTUAL video compositing (After Effects not Premier) But the Post Processing in 300 is HEAVY, every guy is 50%-150% MORE muscular then actual based on importance/screen time/screen gate fill...

[@igorfrancetic4669]

Insightfull videos, perhapse parts of introduction leading to the point could be shorther, it is a bit repative.

[@hector000148]

Fantastic video, I’ve never seen early footage of Gerard Butler and always thought he was a natural beast. Makes me feel way better about myself knowing I look better than Gerard Butler did natural at 32 than I do natural with less than a year of adequate training being 26.

[@julianli1627]

Please do a video on Daniel Craig! This is an interesting one to analyze pre-James Bond and during. Thank you ahead of time!

[@_baller]

They also did lots of makeup shadowing and high contrast video editing

[@cruzmariowii]

We need more videos like this

[@ratiounkn3210]

I lost 20 pounds in 6 months when i stopped working out. I was a teenager at the time, in highschool. I worked out 2-3 hours a day back then lifting all the time. I went to college and started drinking and stopped eating 4k cals a day and in less than 6 months i lost almost all of it.

[@zemm9003]

You have either really bad genetics or you are lying because what you described is extremely difficult to do for naturals unless you are literally starving yourself.

[@rorysparshott4223]

His previous films he just had to look "good" for them. 300 had a massive budget, and a key part of the film's USP was that he and every Spartan were almost superhuman. If your production company is sparing no expense, with 24/7 diet, sleep, and health monitoring, and the best trainers money can buy 7 days a week? Combined with makeup and CGI? Yeah, it's achievable. The BB community has such an enormous disconnect from the rest of the world it's sometimes ridiculous

[@guyverjay1289]

Not in 7 months he couldnt

[@reemobk6499]

No the rest of the world is disconnected from the BB community. The BB community knows what it takes to get jacked naturally and enhanced.

I think the clip your referring to related to Dracula was actually a movie called Timeline. I agree with your opinion though, probably on T and maybe some HGH, especially since Stallone was touting HGH usage around that same time also

Even with steroids that training cycle would wear someone out. Especially if they aren't about that life

[@gatesxtreme8]

Reggie furrow have you ever done a cycle of anything before? Bc I have in my 20's and I can tell you for a fact that you feel like superman on gear. And I wasn't on one compound and the minimum dose. So if someone took a normal amount or even more they're going to feel like superman and hulk combined. It wont wear someone out. Years I could see doing damage and injuries and stuff like that. But 7 months I dont think so.

[@scottcarlson3475]

Yea I agree Derek, I had to stop working out for 3 years only doing some push ups here and there, and I only gained a few percent on my body fat, and I lost ten pounds of muscle but I still looked like I worked put, you don't lose that much that fast if your natural.

[@SALTYDEVIL]

Meh I don’t think you understand that these production companies own you once you sign a movie contract, depending on the results they want they have experts that follow them throughout the day making sure they train and eat right throughout the pre filming and even during filming. Not everyone juices

[@ddl4374]

I'm sure there are production companies that expect tou to use p.e.d. and other tools just like everywhere else in entertainment. I'm sure they expect actors to focus on ACTING and let the body transformer experts transform the bodies to morph to the roles. Lol. That's like saying they expect them to devote their time to doing their makeup and designing their costumes. They're ACTORS!
