Your wife is such a champ. I love that yall are a team. Thank you so much for this video i knew it was pretty b.s. if you ate like 8k and burned even 2500 calories in working out which is SUPER hard to do youd still be super fat...if you consumed 5k calories a day a worked out a tone it would still be hard to not be fat. Thank you for shedding a realistic light on this bc many people trying to be fit try to emulate what an actor does to get the same results. But hollywood loves to exaggerate and people who work day jobs and make normal paychecks are always going to be disappointed or even worse hurt themselves.

I wish they would just admit it. Honestly as an actor who would have everything supervised by pros, I think steroids are perfectly fine. Especially when you're doing what Bale did, from Batman to an anorexic dude, back to Batman. Plus you still have to work hard af even on gear, so I see nothing wrong with it.

[@darkfoxjj]

@@jamaltatums No you do not have to work af even on gear. In fact if you are on gear you will grow more muscle not training than someone who is natural and who doesn't train. That experiment has already been done. And side effects are what is wrong with it, heart hypertrophy.

I can only really train on an empty stomach, I'd be spewing all that food back up a third of the way through the 2nd workout.

First of all props for even attempting this. Seeing the food intake first hand makes me doubt Hugh puts it away every day. That said, maybe he does, and that's why he's paid the big bucks.

[@VictoryAviation]

[@guibox3]

Surely there is a bit of 'junk food' in there to up the calories. Maybe some calorically dense sauces and other high calorie foods. Trying to get 8000 calories from chicken, steak, rice and veggies is ridiculous.

[@ang3r3dv3t]

Realistically, these actors (especially in their 50s+) put up these insane meal plans, knowing no one will be able to stick to them while they load up on the enhancement "juices". Just like Sly, taking HGH, etc. Don't get me wrong, they still have an insane work ethic and dedication, drugs won't make you a super human by themselves. Great video!

[@polkhigh_33]

In fact, they do. Its exeptionally easy to get a regular buff dude physique by doing half-assed workouts with the help of gear, fatblockers and fatburners.

[@stillpaints]

Hugh isn't even taking steroids this time. Wolverine's body will be generated by AI or they'll deepfake his face onto a body double.

[@polkhigh_33]

@@stillpaints Nah dont think so. When Stallone did his last Rocky movie in 2006, he was almost 60 years of age and put on a tremendous amount of lean mass with no cgi shenanigans. Its absolutely possible, but just like Jackman very likely is, he was on heavy TRT, along the usual fat burning stacks. Did you see Jackman's promotional workout and nutrition footage in preparation for Deadpool 3? The training is complete nonsense sure, just like the mealprep. But such a level of mobility, strenght and leanness is almost impossible to achieve naturally for a man well beyond his 50's. Especially considering the fact that Hugh is an easygainer, in between his movies he more often than not could be considered a huge rack man instead.

[@stillpaints]

@@polkhigh_33 Hugh could put himself through hell, but why would he? Just shoot the scenes and tell AI to make it look the same as 15 years ago. We live in a different world than just a year ago.

[@polkhigh_33]

@@stillpaints Because its not authentic. Over the course of the last couple of years, body transformation has become THE supreme discipline for male movie actors, thanks to guys like Christian Bale and Tom Hardy. In this case, the wolverine brand would take a huge hit by taking that shortcut, especially after shooting all that fake training and nutrition promo stuff. The last thing Deadpool 3 needs - after the rather mediocre Deadpool 2 - is a bunch of fake transformation memes floating through the internet.
