I can't gain much of anything, fat or muscle. And when I lose weight, I lose everything, fat and muscle. I think it would take a pretty extreme diet for an ectomorph to gain 20 pounds of anything.
Was he supposed to be a twink or something? Maybe the role needed a skinny dude
I dont see many guys around 5'7-9 190@10%, step back and compare yourself to the average Joe, you had to have gained the muscle sometime, so its just a mindset.
He's 26, the role called for a 36yr old father, so he gained weight and grew a beard to make himself look older, when he arrived on set he was fired.
Don't you think that gaining 20lbs for a movie role is something that you consult the director about? Sounds like there's more to this story than he's telling. The 20lbs story is just a way for him to save face about something else.
There are 2 versions, the one I told, and the other is that he was a complete ass on set and was fired, Mark Whalberg just took his role, this was only a couple of days ago.
I appreciate the positive feedback. Although the gains did come slow over many years. I now wish to find the secret formula to breaking through plateaus.
