Wonder what steroids they're using

And don't forget the intentional dehydration for topless scenes. Hugh Jackman has been very open about that.

Same technique used by body builders I assume during competition.

they kinda gradually stop drinking over 2-3 days, often on the day of the shoot they don't drink anything, it makes your skin kinda thinner and it helps make your muscles more "ripped"

[–] sndrtj@feddit.nl 19 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Oof, that sounds seriously unhealthy. No food for a couple days, sure, most humans can handle that no problem. But no water? Damn.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

oh it's very unhealthy, stresses your kidneys, heart, causee just the worst headaches

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Everyone at a bodybuilding competition does this as well. It certainly doesn't seem good.

[–] PapstJL4U@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It is unhealthy and as far as I can tell no actor is a fan of it

The actor of Green Arrow talked about. The Green Arrow series has some really dedicated scenes.

A healthy, normal-weight adult can fast safely for a week, after that you should get a doctor involved to take blood levels to be on the safe side and take whatever micro-nutrients you get prescribed. The longest fast ever was done by Angus Barbieri, 382 days, on a diet of coffee, tea, sparkling water and supplements (as per doctor's order). He was an absolute unit going in normal weight people don't last that long.

Going without water will be deadly in three days or less, no exceptions. Doing it in a climate where you're not sweating helps but ultimately you have metabolic products to flush out of your system which won't work without water intake. The body is going to allow poisoning itself before it shuts down, that's the kind of situation where no matter what you intend to do, at some point you're going to catch a rabbit with your bare hands, rip of its head, and drink the blood.

Oh, and while I'm at it: Distilled water is safe to drink. Yes, it's easier to get water poisoning with distilled water as opposed to ordinary but either is an achievement and requires fasting as well at not giving in to that sudden urge to murder your salt shaker. We get the overwhelming majority of our minerals from food, not drinks.

The good ones, under doctor supervision. If youre someone who doesnt think they're on gear you're a sweet summer child of the most innocence.

Mostly testosterone for building the muscle base probably, then potentially something like anavar (oral oxandrolone) for a few weeks before filming the shirtless scenes, as orals make you temporarily blow up with water and glycogen. Could be some use of diuretics before filming, too - they definitely use water manipulation/restriction to get that ultra-lean look on the day. I've only included drugs you could feasibly get from the doctor, rather than anything too exotic. I do, however, guarantee they all used a significant amount of steroids in addition to the extremely strict diet and training they are very keen to talk about.

My favorite part about all that work is that it's undone literally that same night, when they eat and drink like a normal person.

[–] Eccehom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first of the second row, Viagra
