Robert Downey Jr. packed on 20 pounds of muscle to reprise his role in "Iron Man 2."

"When we did 'Iron Man 1,' we had five months before the shoot to get ready, so we used more traditional, heavy-weight training," his trainer, Brad Bose, tells UsMagazine.com. This time around, the actor, 45, had just wrapped "Sherlock Holmes," and was down to 151 pounds when shooting on the action flick (out May 7) began.

"After [the first routine], Robert felt kind of bored with it and wanted to something a little more exciting... so we decided to do what I call a Rocky IV meets high-tech training," says Bose, who bulked Downey Jr. up to 175 pounds over the first three to four weeks filming.
Examples: "Instead of doing regular bench presses, we used a bamboo bar... and we would hang plates on rubber bands off the bar... so it was like trying to bench press a snake!" Bose explains. "It bounced all over the place."

Downey Jr. also pushed "a custom-built wheelbarrow that we modified with 600 to 700 lb. weight stacks" around an obstacle course.
"We went out and bought truck tires, and we used sledgehammers -- anywhere from, two 4-lb. sledgehammers in each hand, all the way up to a full 20-lb. sledgehammer -- and we were just beating tires with it. We used fire hoses that we filled with sand and water... and we'd drag and whip them to build the shoulder muscles and pecs back up."
They also juggled "weighted Indian clubs," hulled around kettle bells and even used a war machine, which Boyes explains is "like a rope with handles on it with a pulley -- you suspend yourself from it," says Bose.
"We tried to find the most unique, and yet funnily enough, inexpensive training stuff to use," he says. "You couldn't find more practical stuff to use."
How to get a six-pack
The two would meet around 9:30 in the morning and work out for an hour-and-a-half at least three days a week. Downey Jr. also trained in kung fu two to three days a week with Eric Oram.

Articles like this should be banned, its basically saying he gained 25 pounds of muscle in 3 weeks, how does this shit get past the editor?
-
Rourke said he did steroids for his new role in Iron man 2. I'm sure this guy is no different.
-
Downey has done every drug known to man why not roids? Great actor no doubt.

Rourke is probably the most honest actor in hollywood. too much for his own good sometimes.

Sweet advice. Where can I get a bamboo barbell?
-
You can get them from Westside Barbell for like $300 -
.
Or you could just rig one up with some other semi-flexible material....
Or you could just bench with a barbell and dumbells.....
But that is so pass'e....
-
Robert Downey is the man. Great actor.

Can you blame him for gearing up for a multi million dollar movie role?
What's your reason...a $4 trophy and praise of gym rats...haha
Give me 20 grand, I'll take gear tomorrow. Increase a MLB salary by 10 million, probably sauce then too.

The butt hurt runs deep with you brother. Let it go already...haha
If I didn't keep it real around here, who would?
No, you probably couldn't do much in a gym on your own. I most likely achieved more than you by far on my own.
You should be asking me for tips, not crying when I post.

She said "Stop!"

I don't get why he is with that bitch. Every time she is in public with him she refuses to take pictures etc., like she is embarrassed of him or something. That is like the 4th time I have seen her with him do some shit like that.
He should kick her to the side of the curb and find a hotter bitch.
