Didn’t he explain one time that the key to looking really shredded for a movie is to get SUPER dehydrated right as filming begins? Think it was because then it makes your abs and other chest muscles stick out really prominently and achieves the Hollywood expectation for how strong guy should look
Yeah they will typically time the cutting/dehydration to film all the “muscle shots” at the same time. The actors are miserable during this time period, and will and will quickly hydrate/switch to maintenance eating after this
Yeah standard weight cutting, and then aggressive pre-show preparation. Ironically, they’re probably at their weakest during competition / shows, due to the dehydration and starvation beforehand.
The not-shredded wolverine could lift harder and run longer than his tougher looking counterpart.
Ugh so annoying. So like both in movies and body building, what they’re selling is actually not a healthy or strong physique—but someone who could be on the verge of organ failure.
I like the idea of fitness, and being in functionally good shape, so this sort of exaggeration is something I find uniquely distasteful—portraying a a goal state that is actually just a grift/scam, and that is dangerous to partake in.

Henry Cavill had a similar experience as Geralt. He said he could smell water nearby after a while
sniff sniff “smells like water, gotta be…”
Turns out he was method acting in Deadpool & Wolverine all along
