Plus when you’re making millions of dollars and all you have to do is train for that role with the best help around I believe you can do it without risking your health.

      I agree, he is one of the only ones who I believe is natty, or at least had a naturally attainable physique. I got up to 220 naturally and was like 23% bodyfat at 5'10" by the end of my 2nd year of training. It is totally reasonable for a guy 2-3" taller than me to naturally achieve what he did for Batman. Nothing about his physique screams juice. Had some good size and as much fluff as he could, and in the Batman movie he was wearing pants hiked up just below his belly button, which makes you look less fat and more jacked. That's why every chubby bitch wears high waisted yoga pants, turns their guts and love handles into the illusion of curves.
      It's also common in strongman competitions for those guys to wear neoprene belts and hike their shorts up. It's a pretty beastly fucking look tbh. Throw a powerlifting singlet on, belt up, and pull the singlet's straps down.

    The timeline is when The Machinist wrapped, not when it was released, to when Batman Begins started shooting. I can't find much information on the shooting schedule of The Machinist.

      You're right about those timelines. It could very well be a year or even a few months past a year between those transformations.
      Another thing to note is filming schedules. Movies are seldom filmed in chronological order so he could've done the shirtless scenes in the machinist at the very beginning of production and the shirtless scen in batman begins at the very end, or the scenes in the machinist could've been filmed in the middle and the Batman scenes could've been filmed at the start. We just don't know.
      So there could've been a huge time gap between the two scenes or a small one, there's really no way for us to know unless we somehow got ahold of the filming schedules for both movies.

He was still on that diet losing or on a different one trying to maintain but upping your calorie intake at that point is risky since your body has slowed down its metabolism so much to the point whwre its ready to store every single extra calorie on top of what its used to as fat which would be detrimental to his role in the movie

    What is strange is that when I was 15 ish, several of my class mates already took steroids. So did the older brothers of some of my girlfriends and so on. They were just teenagers, and they bragged about which steroids they used. They got over average physiques, but looked nothing like bodybuilders obviously. And the acne got no one suspicious, because they were teenagers. Today most of them just look like normal guys who don’t really lift, even though some of them still go on and off cycles. One of my old friends also is doing some sort of men’s physique for naturals, but I’ve seen that mf inject steroids a dozen times. My point is that many people look natural when they in fact use steroids. Maybe they used in when they were 18, then went off. Maybe they cycle here and there but still claim to be natural. So we can’t really look at a person and be like "no he never used steroids because that is achievable naturally". Lots of people use steroids. Teenagers use steroids. Athletes use steroids. Actors use steroids. Most people look like shit shirtless, even if they work out. Building muscle size takes many years. If you see a young muscular ripped guy, then you’re either looking at a very rare genetic freak, or guess what...

Bale worked out at age 25. But immense results either way. He's a genetic freak and in my opinion 100% natural.

    When I got clean then started working out and actually eating again my body just magically made 25 pounds appear in a few weeks. I continued to gain weight pretty quickly until I normalized at my regular 163 I weighed when I was 19. The human body is an amazing thing.

    it's a discipline that most of us can't comprehend (myself included). a lot of wrestlers and boxers cut and gain weight while remaining somewhat healthy. very impressive from my perspective. i usually chose eating over my fitness goals.

    15:01 that is really good news. Since the beginning of summer 2021 I had started a bulk and I had actually seen some good progress. Went from 185 to 200 while maintaining visible abs at 6’3”. But then I dislocated my shoulder while surfing in august and had to have surgery bc of a torn labrum. I’ve been really bummed because I’ve lost a lot of my recently gained mass. After I recover I plan on going straight back to bulking. But thanks for that info, I always learn something watching your videos!

    Thank you!!! â€ïžđŸ™ I'm 38 now. And been lifting on and off seriously since I was 16. From 16 to 20 was pure lifting. And I gained a really good foundation. Plus good genes. My dad and all his brothers all look like a freakin ox. Then I got really serious with cykling for a couple of years and lost alot of upper body weight. Quit cykling and started muay thai and got a more balanced physique. But the last few years as I'm pushing 40 I've started to go to the gym about five times a week, lifting heavy and eating strict. Can't count the times old friends have asked "what are you on bro?". I'm so tiered of all lazy ass m-f'ers who screams "roids!" as soon as someone gains a bit of muscle and looks better then them. For me it's muscle memory, know how, diet, good recovery and f-in putting the work in! Cheers from Sweden. đŸ’ȘđŸŒ

    Great video! Much appreciated! I think you're 100% right! And if Bale did add a pound or two of muscle post America Psycho, i believe it was on his chest and arms. To me they look bigger. Even though he wasn't as lean. Imo.
    Its amazing just how much fantasy his Batman Begins transformation has with people who dont know anything about the human body or lifting/diet especially.
    Its a smart move in playing a superhero.

  • @jaseys

    I think Mr Bale has some great genetics, and is at another level when it comes to discipline. Simple as that. He’s also living proof that you can make your body into whatever shape and form you want. I think he has literally had every different body type you can have as a man, and displayed it on film. I’m most impressed at his return to form from his Cheney body. There were plenty of pictures of him during his return to fitness. It looked like hard work, discipline, and time factored in to gradually making the physical changes there. It’s how he has made his living, but I hope he is finished getting heavy like that. After seeing the makeup work on Colin Farrell in The BATMAN hopefully he will opt to go that route in future roles.

    Over the course of a couple years in my twenties I went from a base weight of 165-170 down to 145, back to 170 for a long time, and all the way up to 200. I’m about 190 right now and would like to get back to 170. I enjoy the challenge and day to day discipline to achieve body transformations. I’m not dropping 30lbs in a month or starving myself to do it, though.

    I’m pretty sure muscle memory has to do with the ability to hone motor skills (e.i. juggling, riding a bike, writing)through repetition than maintain those skills (to a certain degree) subconsciously without having to consistently performing the same task over time. As opposed to a body’s ability to regain its previous condition or shape based on having adapted to that condition or shape as standard which is suggested in this video. I’m paraphrasing with that

    I've done an almost 50 lbs weight loss then rebound due to getting sick a few years back. Nothing close to Bale's 100 lbs, but my rebound also took way less than Bale's 5 months. So it doesn't look so absurd to me.
