Gerard Butler on training for 300

[faffaflunkie]

I new he really was from Brooklyn.

[Deface94]

cunt

[murderousintent]

massive earthquake there for 42 seconds apparently

[bamabelle327]

As a woman, I'd take a Gerard Butler any day over the typical Hollywood pretty boy

[gcbigkid]

God he was already really cut so someone in good shape can get results quicker you fat asses lol

[562ole]

lol 4hrs a day my ass nigga an hour of this was lifting and the rest was stunt work and cardio for like maybe 30 min, and on creatine and whey, and in 3 months he wouldnt be shit, it takes years to get into good muscular shape, im sure he was in good shape already tho thats why it too so short of time

[Gr3gster]

Dudes whatever is your diet (4/5/6 meals), to get these results in less than 3 months you have to do roids otherwise it takes at least a year if you only do proteins shakers and food. There are production contracts behind all of this : actors are not allowed to tell about roids and chemical products they are comitted to take.

4 hours training a day in 3 months without roids and they get these "flawless" shapes?! Ahahaha.. my ass :)

[mrgejwaites]

@Gr3gster It's not like he had the body of a 12 year old girl first is it. He obviously was in shape prior to the training and just got toned for the film

[CarnifaxMachine]

Steroids.

[MrPokerJesus]

this a macho man, inside and outside! digging the jacket also!

[TheRattleSnake93]

he looked like that in 300 because of the special effects, Arnold confirmed that by calling Mark Canton the producer which told him he looks like that only by the computer(sry for my english)

[j4allen]

@TheRattleSnake93

Look at some "making of" videos, he really does look like that.

[sarvelaj]

@TheRattleSnake93 not true, watch the "making Of 300" videos, not special effects lol, do your homework

[pullscrotskin]

gay is whats wreong with gay!

[millitige]

I know that he trained for 6 hours a day, but how many days did he have to work out for his role in 300?

[justin7560]

@millitige In a previous video he said that he traied for 3 months before the movie, then an additional 3 weeks or something. So probably about 4 months of hard-core training.

[sarvelaj]

@justin7560 and he was pretty big before he started training too...

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@sarvelaj yeah and watch what he became after the movie..a chubby fatass. thats why roids do when u stop doing them and stop training. u go back to what u really are.

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

lol, you have absolutely no clue about Gym Jones mate

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@Doodooma ok, school me, please. am i wrong?

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

Search up Gym Jones and click the first link you see, dubbed with "Power, Speed, Endurance, Suffering, and Salvation. , read Mark Twight's rants on the training he made the actors do. Also, just watch the video at the bottom. Not all muscle is made with steroids, some people just have zero patience and no determination to get to the places Butler did naturally.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@Doodooma thanks. very interesting but i was talking about Butler. u can see him after the movie 300 totally put of shape. ive been training with weights since 1990 and know who is real and who is cheating

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

alright well we are all entitled to our opinions , no harm done. I just think Butler is generally a lazy shit (which is true), and just didn't do any physical activity after filming. Jake Gyllenhaal went couch potato after Prince of Persia, Bradley Cooper went couch potato after A-Team, and you can clearly see they are just out of shape in later films, because they aren't training, not because of roids. You can't get ripped, and just stay like that, you gotta maintain.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@Doodooma theyr not training after the movie because theyr not into training. thats what im saying. AND u dont get these muscles so fast unless u take something. Because i dont think these actors train and workout as hard as a pro athlete, right? today it's so funny u see actors that smoke and drink look better and LOOK in a great shape suddenly from one year to another even if theyr in their late 30s...weird. then u see pro athletes in basketball soccer triathtlon that look worse than them

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

athletes don't train for visual impact, but physical performance. Bigger doesn't mean stronger. Actors want visual impact muscle, while an athlete doesn't care about looks, they just need to perform the best. Micheal Phelps and David Beckham don't have very good physiques. Visually the cast of 300 looks better, but athletes could destroy them in a competition. Age, pfft, Mark Twight is 50 and is fitter than 90% of people. It's not roids, its just eating, and eating ALOT.

[giugnhgbvinierngvb89]

@Doodooma true. here is where roids come in. eating? BULLSHIT. eating makes u fat. eating with roids makes u bigger. U DONT HYPERTROPHY IN 7 MONTHS and specially when ur over 30 just because ur eating! im sorry dude...go ask anyone that bodybuilds and that doesnt lie.

[DibbsOnYourBoobs]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 ACTUALLY. My cousin is a personal trainer, and when I asked him for tips on how to get bigger, the first thing he said was food. He's fucking humungous. ;d

[MCfleghm]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

Bro, eating and lifting equals muscle mass.

[ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn]

@MCfleghm OH YEAH SURE LOL

[MCfleghm]

@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Do explain your point of view on gaining mass?

[ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn]

@MCfleghm in what particular case? a close to 40 guy that is not a pro and trained for a few months and totally changed his body because of hard training and strict diet? dude, its not THAT easy. thats the way of gaining mass but but this case is different. its called roids. u can gain muscle but not that fast unless u do roids. the world would be full of muscle guys if the process was THAT easy...

[pandapop999]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89 Ideally a serious bodybuilder will have about 6 average meals a day.. Muscles can't grow from nothing haha

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

but its alright man, My opinion :) cheers anyway, the discussion got me thinking. We don't need to continue to rant, that's what politicians are for.

[Doodooma]

@giugnhgbvinierngvb89

i'm out

[Megaultraawesome99]

his irish accent is much better than his american voice. (yeah i know its his real voice.)

[aerogirl1023]

@Megaultraawesome99 He's from Scotland. Fail.

[Megaultraawesome99]

@aerogirl1023 xD

[mymailbox4404]

@aerogirl1023 ...using the word "fail" It's tired and overused by those bitches and d'bags that want to cooler than everyone else.

[aerogirl1023]

@mymailbox4404 You're tired and overused. D-bag.

[mymailbox4404]

@aerogirl1023 ...once again you show the world what a fucking douchefuck you are. Fail. Again Loser.

[aerogirl1023]

@mymailbox4404 Tsk. Tsk. The overused and tired bitch is now a hypocrite. Maybe if you pulled the stick out of your ass, you could have some fun and people would like you. But sadly, you are too stupid. Call me a "douchefuck" all you want, it just makes you look like more of a fuck face with no life. So go ahead. Call me whatever sad little name you can come up with. Make yourself even more of an ass. Please. Be my guest.

[sarvelaj]

@mymailbox4404 naw man, your looking pretty bad in this one, i think you fail...im just saying.

[MusicAndTutorial]

gerard butler = 21th century's chuck norris

[Roary1214]

heshould have kept the beard

[SpartanForgeWorld300]

He's a lucky son of a bitch to get in that kind of shape.

[ZKY2]

@SpartanForgeWorld300 Luck has nothing to do with it. It's hard work and nothing else.

[FAiL006]

@SpartanForgeWorld300 Not lucky. Skillful.

[lovekhmer20]

i think the ladies can all agree that he is a God's gift for women;)

[ViciousCinema]

@lovekhmer20 gay bitch

[kwnccl]

Fuck me

[sergioswow]

[RatedR555]

[nayawhome]

[alexxxl2002]

Man... I love the way he looks. I love his movies. He is great. And I'm not saying this like I'm a gay or something like that! Gerard Butler RUULLZZ!

[bongapendo]

You don`t have to say your gay, because your comment is screaming that your gay. Lol. Your probably fantasize about Gerard`s dick up your Buttler. Lol.

[zignationer]

@bongapendo hahHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA NICE ONE!

[Brotha633]

[nayawhome]

GERAD HOTLER!

[umbilicaltapeworm]

noone with only 5 fights under his belt is a champion in my book. he hasn't even been tested yet...

[ssto045]

your book is crap

[qtpa2t087]

@DanielSel

what about brock lesnar? oh, that's he's deathly sick and his size and power has no control over it? yep, it's definitely that. can't wait to see an interim fight without his disrespectful ass in the ufc

[1thefallen]

And he can sing!

[nickfromdtown1992]

@1thefallen. no.... he can sing like a god.

[bashendrikschoemaker]

shut up fat fuck:)

[BartotheClay]

I'm assuming you've followed Peter Sisco's methods...if so, how have they worked out for you?

[pokepinzon]

Gerry is the original Bad Ass!

[1CraigRoper1]

I don't see why everyone is trying to prove who knows more about what. All you need to do is find a workout regiment that right for you and your specific needs and goals. Stop being a jackass on here and spend your time doing something usefull instead of fighting over the internet.

[z06camaro]

Sorry to say there will always be uneducated little sheep running around showing their muscles trying to put fear into others, yet they are the ones who are truly weak.

[thanks51]

Agreed. Not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog. And strength has so much more to do than just having big arms.

[ihaveninefingers]

i agree with that . i once saw a chihuahua kill a rottweiler ....... the rottie choked to death on him ...

[ViktorNY]

@1CraigRoper1

Well put Craig. 

[sealteem6]

@1CraigRoper1 Amen Brother!

[koutsomillia]

I've been working out for nearly 15 yrs. When your in the gym lifting like a motherf@#$er do you sit and count your lifts??? I'd be straining so hard I'm worried about keeping my eyes in their sockets...LOL

[PaulWeezy50]

When you lift something..it's not slow. Do a litle research. If it works for you fine, but giving somebody advice that has Clearly been proven wrong is another story.Slow down is fine and dandy, that is called a negative rep, but exploding up builds fast twitch fibers for more muscle. 4 seconds up means nothing.I'm 6'3 and my dad is 6'8.If you are 5'5 4 seconds won't be the same as everybody elses 4 seconds...resistance wise.

[MrJesus666]

fast twitch fiber's are best used in slow tension. but it really depends what your goal is. if you want hypertaphy then go slow. doesn't have to be 4 seconds just still has to be slow. if you want power you do it fast. but that's the way i lernt in my fitness course.

[qarusel]

Sufficient resistance will activate fast twitch (and slow twitch) fibers regardless of the speed of the movement. Going slow on a negative rep means you don't drop the weight and flex the muscle just at the bottom, but that the muscle stays flexed through the whole set. If you go up too fast, there is a zero-near-zero time when no muscle is in use, therefore the speed must be appropriate both ways, to keep maximum tension in the muscles at every point of the full movement.

[MrJesus666]

depends on what your goal is. that would be for power, but if you want hypertaphy you would go by the metric scale. concenrtic contractions are best done slow and essentric fast. isometric obviously has no movement at all. so yeah for bigger muscles do slow reps going up for the concentic and faster for essentric.

p.s. i just finnish my course in fitness about 2 months ago and i'm a fittnes instructor at my gym "City Fitness"

[icharuswing]

hypertrophy, not "taphy"

[darrenmarsh1979]

I see we have the usual blend of fantasists and keyboard warriors commenting here on this thread! How very amusing.

[macdaddyo2]

he should grow a beard

[semen690]

4 seconds going up?? haha who told u dat shit?

[BeNgEE08]

so how many hrs a day did he train

[guitardc59]

don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure I read in Men's Health magazine they would train 4 hours, rest, eat, then do weapon training (shield, spear, sword) for another 4 hours.

[Shaolos]

The discussion is funny. You can easily train 7 days a week by changing up training modalities, not just bodyparts. Changing from technique based to strength based to speed and explosive strength conditiong based and then anaerobic based conditioning is kind of optimal. Training stimulus accumulation leads often to increased compensatory response.

If you train like these guys here, make sure to have taper weeks and change up training modalities.

[paula18hot]

Great guy. His accent is driving me crazy. He is so sexy.

[margo3883]

He certainly is.

And it's not about biceps!

[0963saihttam]

If you do a huge ab workout, then drink lots of water...then running immediately afterward...prepare to puke.

[Divinenite]

ok, so wat do u recommend i puke in? bucket or bag? im thinking bag, because i wont hafta carry it with my hands lol.

haha jk

[0963saihttam]

Bags do have handles, so that'd make it easier lol

[Divinenite]

Lol XD

[Spartacus217]

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.

[davidodoyle]

you ppl dont have a clue lol

[ironenginelover]

you can train 7 days a week and make gains. I know because thats how I work out. It is true that your muscles need at least two days to recover. the way you train 5-7 days a week is you train a different body part every day. For the last 10 months I've trained like that- heavy workouts every day with cardio and I've put on 25 lbs of muscle. Its all in your diet and how you train and if you don't believe me try reading arnold schwarzenegger's complete encyclopedia to modern bodybuilding

[13Azzinoth37]

mate i've researched 100 different training styles and i know all about arnold. If you did full body workouts every day of the week you would hardly make gains. Training like these guys did 7 days a week would amount to overtraining. I'm willing to bet that if you did less cardio you would have put on even more muscle.

[ironenginelover]

i didn't say a full body workout every day- i said one body part per day, as in arms monday, legs tuesday...etc. thats the only way you can lift to gain muscle mass 5-7 days a week. and yes i would gain more muscle, but i'm trying to stay toned/build slowly, genetics in my family allows for stretch marks if u get big to fast.

[13Azzinoth37]

fair enough mate, my quarrel was with another who argued that a full body workout was acceptable 7 days a week.

Regarding your stretch marks, do you take Vitamin E supplements?

[ironenginelover]

I understand, I mean full body-aerobics workouts 7 days a week are possible but i agree u can't keep breaking down a muscle and not letting it heal. Yeah I do take them, also i try to get a lot of vitamen c in my diet(helps with skin conditioning-at least thats what my $150 nutrition text book says), and I moisturize a lot. So i'm ok for now but i look at my dad's arms and stomach and my sisters and its just inevitable if i grow to fast. i'll get to where i want soon- not like im in olympia lol

[13Azzinoth37]

exactly you won't make any gains if you don't let that muscle recover.

Vitamin c helps too? thats interesting, i'm sure your $150 text book is right lol.

Yeah you'll get there in no time if you train hard and keep the diet in check.

[a682451]

never mind, I could have just followed the thread, lol.

[ironenginelover]

haha its cool man- those days happen sometimes

[a682451]

Since you seem to know what you're talking about, let me ask a question. Do you need to do a certain amount of workout per day to have muscle gain? Or is that just for cardio? ie: Can you just do arms one day a week, and each body part likewise on one day a week and still have gain in each part? That seems strange to me. And what do you mean by diet?

[Polo26450]

OMG this guy rocks. He's better than Arnie.

[suzierugrat]

hahaha yes, i agree!

[Nat3skiz]

hahaha yeh but if you think they train like this on each day then you're sorely mistaken.

[Nat3skiz]

by all means, workout 6 or 7 days.

just don't expect muchy strength or size improvement.

[Headcrabb]

And the end I was expect him to look at the screen and say:

"Madness?"

[arachanox01]

hahahahahahaha!!! XD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

[heggerud]

Jesus wept, you crazy internet persons are actually starting to entertain me more than the bloody videos

[BlackStalion116]

the money to pay for the trainers.

but money doesn't pay for willpower, motivation, and determination.

You can lead a horse but you can't make him drink, i don't give a damn how expensive that water is

Shit most people will be happy with a fat gut if it means their wallet is in the same shape

[JonathanBloggs]

Motivation to work out isn't difficult with personal trainers barking at you and your job being on the line.

The exercise itself of course remains just as hard.

[thisisme1561]

Yep Gerard was born on the best day of the year...Nov. 13 lol MY BIRTHDAY! :) That's the only reason why i know his birthday.

[ilovesilvia69]

holy crap that's my brother, his fiance and there soon to be kids birthday! haha cheers
