Except the actors have talked about it.

I remember Hugh Jackman specifically talked about it in an interview as part of why he wanted to stop being wolverine. He was getting tired of the unhealthy regime of dehydrating to look as clean cut as possible.

yeah that's why I used hugh jackmans wolverine as an example of what an unhealthy dehydrated body looks like.

These other guys aren't dehydrated. They just look swole from getting a pump on directly before the scene was shot.

I doubt they're even on PEDS. These body types are 100% attainable if you put in the effort and sustain it.

While Dr. Schroeder refrains from explicitly mentioning specific Hollywood actors whom he suspects of using performance enhancers

I'm going with the doctor, rather than the random guy on Lemmy who provides no reference, just opinion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

that's literally what the dr gave. an opinion. Also, I've been to medical school and have been bodybuilding since I was 10.

A doctor's opinion.

I fight bears and my girlfriend lives in Canada.

You can write whatever you want here but to believed you need reasoned arguments and references.

ok, be wrong in whatever fashion that agrees with you, then.

I myself managed this, and knew a bunch of folks that also did, about 15 or so years ago (trying to get back into it, however my health took a few turns since then). Then again I was taking supplements, such as Jack3D at the time (which has been banned for some time since), and wonder if those contributed to it.
