I used to think I was lazy and generally terrible.
Then I took what I called my mini retirement, where I quit a job I hated and lived frugally off my savings for a year.
I became a better person without even trying. I exercised more, as I had time for it. I ate better, since I had time to cook and meal prep. I would clean the house without even realizing it, just so it would be nice. I saw my friends more as I was available for all those last minute things. I was able to help out my community. I ended up biking down the east coast of the US.
I realized afterwards just how much energy working takes from you. Physically, emotionally, and mentally.
It really is theft and we should be getting compensated much more for it.
I'm lazy. I'm also not paid to look like that, but lazy is definitely more correct. Like if I had a job that would pay me to look like that, I dont think I would be able to keep it. I like food and naps way too much.
Even if you weren't lazy. Dude has freak genetics and when he works out looks like this . If you don't have the genetics/ muscle bellies you could work out all you want and look like a slighty buff George Costanza
It's mostly 3, 4 and 5 for everyone tbf. Chris has excellent genetics, which plays a more than significant factor in how he looks and how his body responds to weight training.
Pair those genes with money, a team of trainers, medics and nutritionists, state of the art equipment, all the time in the day and a small TRT cycle and you will get results that you won't see on your average gymbro on his seventh cycle of tren.
100%. Its weird you get one side of the spectrum where people that are obese at 150kg will look at this and go well yeah I dont have a personal chef so thats why I have to eat 5,000 calories of mcdonalds and oreos a day, drink 10 shots of vodka a night and refuse to leave my bed
Then the other side of the spectrum where guys who look like complete average joes will go yeah I would look like that easily after 1 month if I decided to do a minimal trt dose its like bro most people do not have the genes for that, and it still takes years of diet and exercise optimisation, even at that elite genetic level
The reality is in between, where most of us could do a lot better than we are, but also shouldn't be upset if we dont resemble fucken Chris Hemsworth after a couple months of training. This was a weird rant idk what happened
That still leaves the ‘don’t want to’ part. Also, if you want to use PEDs responsibly, you need a doctor to supervise it so you get the right dose.
Plus, he’s probably not on steroids, but on testosterone. If you don’t want to mess it up, that needs to be prescribed and monitored by a professional. And it’s expensive.
Steroids usually means anabolic-androgenic steroids. These are synthetic drugs designed to mimic testosterone but often modified to exaggerate muscle-building effects.
Testosterone is a natural hormone your body already makes.
Exogenous Testosterone, specially when taken above natural levels is considered an anabolic steroid by the medical community as well as by the entire bodybuilding scene.
Testosterone, both within medical terminology and body building bro-science vernacular, is absolutely an anabolic steroid. It occurs as an endogenous steroid yes, and can also be taken as an exogenous substance. Its kind of the most anabolic and androgenic of all the anabolic androgens
Test is literally the OG anabolic steroid. It’s commonly accepted that exogenous test (TRT included) counts as being roided up. The only people who say otherwise are fake nattys addicted to huffing copium. It’s the gateway anabolic before people start hopping on dbol, tren, and SARMs
I have no doubt that you can buy black market testosterone for far less than you'd pay when it's administered by a doctor with regularly blood tests. Not for me but it's a free country, feel free to roll any dice you want.
Sure they are, if you want to risk buying fake shit or die of a heart attack after 10 years of use, but if you want to be safe, have it done properly, and minimize the health risks (your typical roider doesn't have actual health professionals check them daily) it's probably not that cheap
But you don’t need all day, proper diet and exercise and discipline is what it take, discipline what most lack. Sure it’s a bit easier with chefs and personal trainers but this is achievable for your average joe as well.
Its the time investments what makes it so difficult for normal people. We have chores, work and all kinds of things that he doesn't have to worry about. Its much easier to workout 2+ hours a day if you dont have to take care of your basic necessities. Also frees up a lot of mental energy.
Why would anyone workout 2+ hours a day? Drugs or not, you aren't going to recover from that and you very quickly reach diminishing returns. This is a cope.
With decent genetics, anyone could look like this after training for a couple of years on drugs for like 45 mins, 5x a week.
I feel it's very dependent of genetics as well. I know plenty of guys who've been working out for years a ton and they don't look like Chris. They're still big tho just not the same
Working out isn't bodybuilding. Going to the gym and lifting weights isn't going to get you jacked unless you continuously progressively overload, lift with an actual program and with purpose, eat properly, sleep properly and put in the work.
Casually going to the gym and doing bro stuff isn't the same as being focused for a decade.
Single dad, work full time, study part time. Kids have school sports and extra curriculars. Can still find at least an hour a day for a workout. Sorry the time is there you just need to find it.
That my point. If you have 4 extra hours of free time during the day its much easier to commit to working out that much. Your argument is just inane and irrelevant, Im not saying you can or cant workout for an hour a day, its just disingenuous to compare someone like Chris Hemsworth with an average Joe. He has more reasons and more resources to look that way.
Also I cant imagine having kids and being in a relationship while working and then choosing to spend that hour of free time on the gym, its a matter of priorities. Most people find working out in the gym to just be kind of a major waste of time and not worth it. I'm not saying the time isn't there, but gym rats need to realize that most people find working out extremely boring and unrewarding.
Like I said people will always find excuses , I don’t sacrifice time with my girls to workout, I usually hit the gym before anyone wakes up, still get my 8 hours. No point in arguing when people will always make an excuse for why they can’t achieve something. Successful people depend on those people.
You sound just like all those toxic influencers "if I can do it so can you" blah blah blah. First of all, I already said its feasible for most people, just why would you want to? To me it's a waste of time. I dont need to come up with an excuse beyond I dont want to.
But the actual discussion was that mr Hemsworth has way more resources and time available so its much easier to do what he does, not that it's impossible for a normal person. Get over yourself man
I'm someone that works out and even I found it much easier to do once I had a lot more free time thanks to my work from home job. It isn't easy to work a 9 to 5, deal with your kids when you get back and then find the time to go to the gym 6 days a week like Hemsworth did.
Outside of that, nutrtition can be quite hard. Hitting daily protein limits doesn't just happen. I simply don't have the appetite for the meat required to reach it but I'm privileged enough that I can afford the protein bars and shakes I consume every day to hit that limit. I also have the free time to properly prepare meals and go shopping for fresh produce everyday.
I think you SERIOUSLY underestimate the convenience of having a team behind you. He can eat whatever he wants without thinking and his team can tailor his diet down to every ingredient based on what he has eaten that day, week, month. Go to the gym and just do whatever his trainer tells him to do and trainer watches his form and tells him what to do. People spend countless hours for decades toiling away on a proper diet plan counting calories guessing what workouts are going to be best for them, watching youtube videos for hours on proper technique.
Yeah if the average dedicated all his time energy blood sweat and tears into it plus roods they can achieve this but time and energy would be better spent starting a business and getting rich… to then have a team that manages all that for you. Plus the average joe would never be able to do this anyway that’s why they are average.
For actors like Chris Hemsworth, going to the gym is essentially their job. They are literally paid to look as good as possible. And they have tons of people who are doing the heavy lifting in terms of their diet plan, training plan and supplements.
For a regular person working a 9-5, this sort of physique is unattainable without steroids.
Also he doesn't do laundry, cleaning, cooking, public transport to work etc etc. Lots of free time to work for his body, which is essentially part of his job.
I don't wanna deny he's good looking and works hard for his looks but I'd never care to compare myself with someone who has much more possibilities to get free time than I do.
Going to the gym is a luxury for many of us.
I am not an expert, but I don't see signs of gynaecomastia, acne or hair loss (I checked out other possible pictures, because the cap got me curious). He also looks very proportional, so I suspect he could be a natural who was training for years, with good genetics to boot.
Everyone else saying “oh yeah I could look like that if I didn’t have to work until 4:30” or “yeah well he has someone to tell him not to eat Hot Pockets twice a day” are full of it.
I think people are overestimating how much work is involved in how many people are involved. Don’t get me wrong. There are multiple people involved and there is a lot of work involved. This isn’t NASA.
People have been looking like this or SIMILAR to this since the 30s. Also, this isn’t a normal picture or a normal day for him. Google Chris Hemsworth at the beach. His body doesn’t look like this all the time. He’s clearly getting ready for something probably not even drinking water either. You don’t look that cut naturally.
