I was watching Conan O'brien

[Timma]

and he had Hilary Swank on there. She said she gained 20lbs of muscle for Million Dollar Baby. I find that very hard to believe. I mean some guys can't even put that kind of weight on naturally. What do you guys think?

[rude]

I think she gained the weight but I bet it was like 15 pounds or so.

The girl is real skinny, im sure eating like an athelete would pack on the pounds on her

[decadecadeca]

She most likely had a professional trainer or two, dietician, strength coach etc.....and I also don't think that stars are beyond a little "supplementation" for the sake of the role. I'm sure they have no idea what they're really taking, just do as the trainer says and all is well.

That and the fact hollywood is so full of shit and spun by publicists to the extreme, who the hell really knows.

[Tinfish]

i saw the movie. and i saw her on talk shows aftewards promoting it.

she definetly gained 20.

watch the movie and then revist this post.

I think some Hollywood actors juice up for some roles. I mean some of them look like crap b4 the movie and then all of sudden they are in BB shape. Makes you wonder.

[trip]

Im w/tinfsh, I saw movie and several of her interviews.

She never really lifted before, so lot's of professional training, and she said she was eating every 1.5 hours, and tons of egg whites.

I believe it.

Do you guys think arnold touched the gas again for T3?

[mcalo4]

How about Rocky IV, Sly was pretty shredded?

[shortz]

Yes, and I also read that Will smith was 225lbs when training for Ali and was benching 355lbs for reps.

Not sure about the weight because he is very tall, but I do know that publicists exaggerate numbers.

[Stonecold54]

next to sports, I would say hollywood is the next biggest market for gear.

[Primal Instinct]

...or male & some female models

If she never trained before it seems very possible to do it, even naturally. The greatest changes I had was in the first 6 months of training naatty, if she was supplementing, I can see it happening like she claims.

It can be done! I'm sure she had a trainer! Besides....how long did she have to put it on? If all I had to do was eat and workout I could put it on quick!

In this pic you can see her back is pretty developed
