The Bond Workout

not that i'm not denying roids is used by celebrities, but just keep in mind that also, some bastards just have the right genetics. moreover, if it's your "job" (i.e. getting paid millions) to eat, sleep and train with the proper people, it's not unbelievable that someone can get these gains naturally. I'm sure I'd look pretty damn good after 12 weeks training hours a day with my own personal chef and not having to hold down a job - since these actors usually do so before filming.

Again, I freely admit I am the last person on Earth to ask about roids and other muscle building supplements.

It is obvious that many well known actors gain considerable muscle mass in an unbelievably short time period. It seems almost all action heros, MTV dancers and male models were born with x-men genetics... I think people with the right genetics are just very very rare.

**** the genetics argument. Outside of anthropometry and genetic endocrine disorders, most people are pretty similar.

And training hours a day doesn't make you bigger or stronger unless you're on drugs.

you mean as opposed to training an hour a day, or not at all, or once a week, or what?

i will agree, though leaness does seem somewhat predicated on genetics unless you go v-diet or some other more extreme measure.

Whatever training volume tends to work best for given goals. Yeah, that's partially cryptic and imprecise, but it's all you're going to get. If you're working out for 'hours every day' and seeing awesome results you're on drugs. Literally.

I mostly agree. Anthropometry plays a role in that as well.

I can eat, sleep and train with the best of them. If I choose to, I can train all day. I look pretty good, but I can't put on 20 lbs of muscle in 12 weeks naturally, though I could drop 20 lbs of fat in that time period though. (To be fair, there would be a few pounds of muscle in there.)

In a lot of cases what you're seeing in Hollywood is not so much the packing on of extra muscle, but rather the dropping of excess fat. An average-sized actor will look larger at 170 and 10% BF than he will at 190 or so and 20% BF. Therefore, there's a lot of clen in Hollywood.

Hillary Swank put on some serious size for Million Dollar Baby, but there was a good deal of fat with all that muscle. To do so, she ate non-stop.

I'm pretty sure that low reps and high weight is to build strength, not bulk. Bulk comes from higher repetitions....e.g. 1- 6 reps, high/max weight = strength building and 6-12 reps, medium weight = bulk (i.e. bigger looking muscles)

Of course you have to eat a #$%*-load as well to gain the kind of bulk that Craig put on. Although 'roids could be in there as well, I'm not fully buying it. These guys have the top trainers and are training as their full-time job for these roles. Although not "easier," they certainly gain results much quicker. Take The Biggest Loser for example.

I began to lose such genetic leanness a few years ago for whatever reason (age, incremental beer effect, or may slight details i never pay attention to). Don't think my life style actually changed that much;I always eat a lot and anything I want . Now I would look quite out of shape now without regular hard exercise; I do not really have to try at all before lol.

BS. No matter how smartly I trained and ate, my body will never look like Daniel Craigs (whether on or off roids). And it sure as hell will never look like the Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, whether he was off roids and I was on them. You know why? Genetics. You know why? My muscle density and the length of my muscle fibers isn't the same. You know why? Genetics.
