He supposedly trained for a year to get himself built up to what that character would have wanted his body to look like. If you saw the film you understand. He looked very impressive physically in the film, and there were many scenes where he undressed so you could judge for yourself. Bale was very scrawny before that film. Reign of Fire came a couple of films later but I had the impression he had retained his muscularity to that point. Then he made The Mechanic had had to diet himself nearly to death. Then he’s back doing batman and had to pump up again.

In Reign of Fire he looks super in the early scene where he’s underground with a pick axe and shirtless.

I’m completely with you that he uses (under supervision of experts) steroids. The body does not respond on command to build muscle like that. It’s very dangerous – and he will no doubt pay a price at some point in the future.

As far as health, Schwarzenegger did pay the price for his extreme steroid use over at least 20 years – his heart required serious repair thru surgery.

Also agree completely on Norton – when I saw stills of him in the film and his explanation of all the food and workouts he was doing, I just laughed because I know it’s not possible for a truly genetic scrawny guy to put on muscle like that in six months or less time!

the key to spotting the juice is someone thats big and ripped. Its very difficult to do both, Ripped is do-able without the juice (al la norton in american History X) and massive is also do-able without resorting to the roids (you better be ready to be fat too though
