Drugs, surgery and having a Coach by your side every day.

You have people prepare your meals, your workouts and your drug protocol. Lots of GH.

They have access to anything they want.

Didn't watch the video. ;D

I was watching tmz a few years ago and they stopped Josh Brolin as he was leaving the gym and he had on a tank top and had put on a lot of muscle for a movie. The reported said “wow you look great what have you been doing powerlifting,CrossFit or what” Josh thinks for a second and says “ I don’t know my guy tells me what to do and I just do it”.

A grownass man doing a cycle of steroids to help build some muscle isn't "dark." Who cares?

I swear I will never get tired of seeing those pictures.  I wonder if they realised when they were doing them, just how iconic they'd become..?  ;D

Those who don't indulge in weight training consider androgens with deep suspicion.

Just by having a low bodyfat actors pump up before shoots has a huge effect.

Will watch the video later.

A stupid documentary, there is no point blaming peds for helping Hollywood stars to set unrealistic goals for teenagers.
Rock Hudson, Christopher Reeves, Robert Mitchum had all amazing broad shoulders, slim waistlines and were very tall for their time.
It is stupid to set a goal to look like a one in a million celebrity unless you have similar genetics.

General public and plenty of people into their training who either have no concept and/or unrealistic expectations. Ive a mate who asked me genuinely if the world's strongest man competitors took steroids. He asked the same about WWE and the Rock! I wanted to slap him tbh!

Hollywood has been setting unrealistic expectations since the first silent film. And they know every kid out there tries to mimic them. Just look at the use of cigarettes in films. Entire generations of kids took it up because the "cool" people did. And for all their virtue signaling, Hollywood still encourages all those bad habits.

I am talking about physical goals, take Harrison Ford, he seems rather ordinary, but his natural physique is way above average, same applies for Mel Gibson.
Ofcourse not all Hollywood stars are demigods, but most of them have good skeletal structure and muscle shape in the first place. Thousands of people try to make it in the Hollywood so it is stupid to think they are ordinary fellows with chemical enchantment, it is easy to add 30 pounds with deca-test cycle but if you have measy structure you won't look anything like Hugh Jackman soon   :'(
We have many competitors here who look like shit when they are ripped.

Fair points.  As an aside, Rock Hudson took it up the ass.

Seriously that Kumail Numaji or whatever the hell his name is..... he was in the Eternals.  The movie was fairly lame but made worse by Disneys woke agenda. In any event a big deal was made about this guy 'getting in shape ' for his part in the movie. And his part was minimal, he was covered in some cgi costume, his superpower was shooting lazers from his finger. It literally had nothing to do with him being in shape and you wouldn't have been able to tell if he hadn't gotten in shape. What the fuck did it have to do with anything?

I've never understood why people would pay personal trainers. You can learn several productive exercises to develop the whole body in like a half hour. Why do you need someone to count reps?

I agree completely. I do know of some people ( usually women) and they want to pay a trainer because it sounds good when they tell their friends “well my trainer has me doing lunges or whatever exercises “

Most actors are wimps.  They are not athletes. 

They need the trainer to get them out of bed, kick their azz to the gym, push them, tell them not to eat ice cream, inject them properly with the right drugs, etc.

steroids are male makeup

some wear more , some don't wear some at all - But its everywhere and its undeniable

some look better when they wear makeup , some don't


BUT you will always have LITTEL SOURASS men WHO feel insecure around big muscley men, can't deal with it, those dark nights jerking off to muscle men on PornHub lay dormant in the back of your mind - but you get on GETBIG to talk shit about steroids and men that look good

Superman wouldnt have any muscle because to gain muscle you need resitance and intensity, there isnt anything heavy enough to cause him any effort

Good point. 

He defies the laws of physics all the time.

He's a fake.  He's not a real superhero.  We've been lied to.
