However, if somebody was at their normal size and then made these gains to build NEW muscle, it’s obvious steroids are indeed the culprit.Īnd once this muscle memory successfully restored Christian to his former size, the difference between his body in American Psycho compared to Batman Begins is only more eating ( bulking), hence the moderately bigger muscle size and higher body fat %. Those people didn’t realise that 90% of the muscle I gained wasn’t NEW muscle – I had it before. Some people on my fitness page started making steroid comments, but people that are closest to me know I am 100% natural and would never take steroids.
…although I’d have to do even more eating! I didn’t lose as much muscle as Bale, so my transformation obviously wasn’t as impressive. But if I’d lost even more muscle, I believe I would’ve experienced a similar transformation. Note: If I regained all of my muscle back, but carried on overeating after that point most of the weight gain would then be fat.
I became very bloated and retained a lot of water due to a huge influx of calories, but I only gained a small amount of fat. What happened as a result of this overeating can only be described as magical.Īlmost ALL of the weight I gained was pure muscle. …Lets just say during that part of my life I was eating a lot of McDonalds (CT Fletcher style). I was consuming approx 6,000 calories a day. However, after I lost my muscle I began grossly overeating in a bid to get it back. I know this because I lost a tonne of muscle once, from doing excessive amounts of HIIT on an empty stomach in the morning. When you do overeat, most of the weight gain will be pure muscle, as opposed to being mostly fat and a little muscle. In terms of scenario 2, you need to overeat to regain the muscle you lost. Then over several weeks your muscles will restore to their previous size. To regain muscle from scenario 1, you have to go back to the gym and lift weights again. When you lose muscle via your diet i.e.When you stop going to the gym and your muscles shrink because you’re no longer lifting weights.There are two different types of muscle memory: Yes, this is possible due to muscle memory.īut is Muscle Memory Really That Powerful? Is it possible to REGAIN 20kg of muscle naturally in the space of 5 months? HOWEVER, let’s rephrase that question slightly… No fricking way (unless you’re a genetic freak/newbie). Is it possible to gain approx 20kg of muscle naturally in the space of 5 months? The real question that needs to be asked is: So, did Christian bat-juice for his role as Bruce Wayne? The only other 2 times I looked at a transformation in awe was when Charmander evolved into a Charizard…and when Goku transformed into Super Saiyan God form.Ĭhristian Bale gained over 30kg, with most of it being in the form of muscle.Ĭonsequently, people are jumping to the conclusion that he must’ve been taking steroids. (if you haven’t seen the Machinist or Batman Begins, give them a watch because they’re awesome films).īale literally went from being severely anorexic to looking like a bodybuilder in just 5 months.
Christian Bale’s Transformation Took 5 Months…
Well, you’re not the only one because his transformation was nothing short of incredible. So you’ve seen the transformation of Christian Bale from The Machinist to Batman Begins…and you’re intrigued by the amount of muscle Christian’s gained in such a short space of time, right?
