Fenrir Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 How the what? Is this even possible without chemicals? Is he supposed to be Batman or Bane? Quote Link to comment
OtakuBosatsu Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Maybe he Googled Batman workout and found the NF Batman Bodyweight Workout. Or chemicals. Like, insane radioactive muscle growth stuff that would make his testes fall off, grow eight legs, and scurry off to build a web... you know what, it's late where I am, and I really should go to bed. 1 Quote OtakuBosatsuLevel 1 Lycan.

Tanuki Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Not one of us here couldn't achieve that if we had nothing but workouts to do. Chefs to make our personal diet plan. People to watch the kids. Bills paid. Someone taking care of every single issue in his life for him. He has nothing but free time and not a care in the world I don't like the veins. Doesn't look good.

Fus Ro Brah Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 That is massively Photoshopped, haha. Here is what he looks like at the moment It's not unusual for movie stars to use gear anyway, Chris Hemsworth for example. Put on so much lean mass in a little under a year for Thor that they told him to lose some because his suit didn't fit, lol. He attributed it to "eating lots of chicken and sleeping a lot." 1 Quote Link to comment

Juni0r83 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yeah, when some of the most talented natural bodybuilders say anything more than 10-12 pounds of muscle in a year requires chemical assistance, I have to go with drugs. That being said, he doesn't really look that big in the photo Fus Ro Brah posted. Could be natural. Plus I always ask the question: how far apart are the before and after shots? very rarely do they show you a year and month stamp for each of the photos. Plus, even in his before photo, you can see the foundation of muscle here (adonis belt for a start). The only thing he really looks like he's jacked up massively is his arms (and maybe a little chest too).

Dradis Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Affleck has been in shape before, as have virtually all hollywood actors. Regaining previous muscle is a lot easier than gaining new stuff as the Tim Ferriss thing proved (well, hinted at). So, ignoring the fact the first image doesn't look real, that is another reason why these guys can do such good transformations. We could too if we gained loads of muscle, sat around and lost it and then gained it back. Plus drugs and all the convenience benefits he has too.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I wouldn't say "massively" P-Shopped Someone just stuck his head on some juicer's body = easy shit I think that could be his actual body based on the other picture posted, but it is heavily shopped to add all the veins and tan. It's borderline, I can't tell which after a brief glance. I'm leaning toward head ona different body though because that shirt doesn't quite fit his style.

We could too if we gained loads of muscle, sat around and lost it and then gained it back.Plus drugs and all the convenience benefits he has too. Yeah, it's generally accepted that these guys sometimes roid up to gain the size. It's not all the time, and mayhap not in this case either, but it does happen plenty. Under the proper supervision, it's actually not too dangerous. Also, previous muscle is much easier to get back than build in the first place as was said. All the muscylar cells and mechanisms are still there, they're just shrunk down and shriveled up. Not having to actually build them from scratch saves a ton of time.

Juni0r83 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Actually, if you go back and look at Affleck in The Town, it's not that dissimilar to what he looks like now (minus any pump he may have used to appear bigger during essential swole scenes), so the roidless thing is looking potentially more realistic for "this" time around. Doesn't make him a lifetime natural athlete or anything. Quote Dwarf Warrior I am today what I made myself yesterday, I will be tomorrow what I make of myself today.

Juni0r83 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I think the most annoyingly fake thing about The Town, was how he overdid his own Southie accent, almost to the level of Parody I never said his performance was anything special, just that his physique is quite similar to what it is now, proving that he hasn't actually built any new muscle, just rebuilt what he had previously. 1 Quote Dwarf Warrior I am today what I made myself yesterday, I will be tomorrow what I make of myself today.

Bolson32 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Meh... He can still fit into jeans. Must be skipping leg day. I thought the exact same thing. I couldn't imagine trying to fit into those jeans. I wore a button up shirt and jeans to work the other day and had to untuck it because I thought my ass looked too big.......And I'm a dude. 1 Quote "I've torn a hamstring tendon and re-injured my knee, lower back, and upper back while doing yoga.
