I have a lot of respect for sylvester stallone... the guy is 60 years old and has a body better than 99.9% of the people that are less than half his age... but in this interview... god... so much f***ing bullshit...
Q: So did you ever use steroids to build yourself up?
A: In 1987, when I was making Rambo III, I used to take an amino acid that's nearly as strong as steroids. It's about 15 times more powerful than the typical amino acid, but give none of the raw rage - the anger - that comes with steroids. All steroids do is make you a cumbersome, apelike goon.
an amino acid 15 times more powerful than the typical amino acid? wow, supplements were more advanced in 1987 than they are now!!! i really don't care if he used steroids or not... the guy was super ripped in rambo 3 and he worked hard for it... but don't go insulting everyones intelligence with that crap!!
When Stallone first came to Franco to begin training, he was 170 pounds and very well defined. But he didn't feel he was big enough and wanted to put on 10 pounds of muscle in six weeks.
10 lbs in 6 weeks? sounds like a muscle-tech add...
Franco knew how hard Stallone was capable of training, so he decided that was a feasible goal."Sylvester gained just about 10 pounds in six and a half weeks," Franco says. "He has great structure, with a waist only about 29 inches. When we started, he had a 44-inch chest. At the end, his chest was almost 50 inches. And his arms went from 16 ½ inches to 18 inches. He was bigger, harder and much more muscular. Wait until you see him in the movie. He's going to shock a lot of people by how good he looks.
yes, the guy looked great... but come on... 18 inch arms? 50 inch chest? 29 inch waist? i can believe the waist... but the arms and chest? weighing 180 lbs? is stallone 5'2?
"Franco worked out a program for Stallone based on a two day double split:
MONDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY
Morning:Chest, back, abs
Afternoon: Shoulders, arms, abs
TUESDAY/THURSDAY/SATURDAY
Morning: Calves, thighs
Afternoon: Rear delts, traps, abs
ooooooooooooooooooooooookay
Franco had Stallone training abs three times every two days, doing 500 reps every ab workout. "We trained four different ab and torso exercises: sit-ups, leg raises, side leg raises, and side bends. We did 50 reps of each, one exercise right after another, and five sets of this cycle. And wait until you see the results. Sly has great abs, intercostals, serratus, everything.
"Stallone's measurements when he was filming Rambo II were: chest around 50", 29 ½ " waist, and 17 inch biceps. His body fat runs 4 ½ %, although when he's not filming it's 6 %. Loud bursts of energy can be heard as the star does push-ups to get pumped up for some photos.
Why did i post this? it's just to show you that most of what celebrities tell you is bullcrap... the only celebrity who had the guts to say anything about his steroid use was de muscle man himself... AAAAANNNOOOLLLLDDD!!!! anyway... no celebrity, or pro bodybuilder, or fitness whatever will tell you exactly what they do... hell, most celebrities don't even know what they take or eat... it's just "the trainer gave me this and told me to eat this and swallow this and do that..."
but hey... who wouldn't want to look like this when they're 60?
10 lbs in 6 weeks? sounds like a muscle-tech add...
ReplyDeleteLOOOL really that sounds more like it...
And hell ya I would love to look like that when I'm 60 years old....damn
I don't :P.. sorry but that's tooo much muscle on a normal man.. how the hell can u hug a person like that? :D
ReplyDeletedude trust me thats not huge...at least thats what I think...and if you are that big you can hug a person reaaaaaaaal good ;)
ReplyDeleteits really good to feel strong and healty, thank GOD :)
"sorry but that's tooo much muscle on a normal man"
ReplyDelete:) ... you'd just love ronnie coleman...
Stallone being 5'9 - 5'10, a 44 inch chest and 16 inch arms at 170-180 lbs is realistic. But, an increase of 6 inch chest with just 10-12 lbs is ridiculous. I guess a chest of 46, waist of 29, and about 17-171/2 inch arms seem realistic.
ReplyDeletehe certainly doesnt look too much bigger than Tyson or Holyfield, and those guys have a 43 inch chest and 16 inch arms.
