    Now… I’m not saying anabolic steroids were not used… but…

    Christian Bale lost 60lbs, down to a weight of 120lbs, to perform as the quite gaunt main character of The Machinist.

    The next movie he did was Batman Begins.

    He… gained 100lbs, of muscle… in … somewhere between 6 months and a year.

    Steroids or not, he had an insane workout routine, and gaining 100lbs of muscle in under a year is… also fucking insane, as in, it probably should have killed him.

      Well, it wasnt 100lbs of muscle, a lot of it was fat, plus there is thing that once you had muscles gaining it back is much faster than having to build it in the first place
