The majority of people are introduced from film in Hollywood what a great
physique looks like I mean nowadays an Instagram I guess it's a little
different you have a lot of people in the fitness you have influencers the
majority of people aren't going to really find the physique that they
really aspire to from say physique competitions but you know nowadays
Instagram is becoming more popular but really the vast majority of people are
going to be inspired by what they see on film so today's video I kind of want to
showcase the best-looking bodies on film the best-looking physiques but I'm gonna
I want to showcase the natural physique because there's a lot of talk about the
so called Hollywood muscle effect where he had an actor that they have a limited
time to prepare for a role that they do an amazing transformation and in such a
short period of time so the first thing a lot of people are going to assume is
you know steroids or something of the like but you know and that that may be
the case in a lot of instances but today's video I'm gonna showcase what I
believe the top three best-looking natural physiques are now granted all
these guys they have good genetics they don't have like I wouldn't necessarily
say genetics I could dominate bodybuilding or fitness contests but
these are probably above-average genetics but these are still something
that the the vast majority of people could aspire to and I think it's
important to showcase the natural physique so give somebody something
realistic now you're not gonna look like this in 30 days or 60 days or even 90
days especially if you've entered training before but this is something
more long-term to aspire to you because these physiques they're showcasing these
films this is something universally that there's there's not anybody that would
say these guys don't look good anybody would love to look like any one of these
guys on the beach and that's just the fact but anyway to sit back and I'll go
ahead and count down the top three here now of course a video like this or any
video similar to this there's always gonna be speculation and I don't have a
hundred percent definitive proof that any of these guys were natural at the
time of filming for this role or any other role but of course I'm gonna plead
the case and tell you the reasoning why I believe they were and we're gonna walk
through the videos that the footage the pictures kind of talk about the physique
and also I'll plead the case because I believe these this is very attainable
naturally and there's no reason why these guys
didn't do it so certain off and number three on the list I got Henry Cavill and
Man of Steel so Henry Cavill we all know as the man is still a Superman he's got
I'd probably say if you just go from like a pure genetic standpoint on the
list he's probably got the best genetics as far as just what he's got to work
with but you know a lot of people thought he looked really good in man is
still with his shirt off when he was a truck trying to find some clothes on
these laundry wires I myself when I seen that in the theater I was like I was
impressed I was very impressed but there's a youtuber called more plates
more gates that kind of does a whole breakdown on why he actually thinks
Henry Cavill is natural especially there in the Superman films and he breaks it
down really good I'll link that in the description check out that video when
you get a chance but let's go ahead and look at and I appreciate his Man of
Steel physique so overall he's got some really good shoulders and traps
especially really full chest here nice six-pack it's not the leanest but in
just this kind of outdoor lighting it's it's never can you're never gonna look
super ripped in outdoor lighting so let's keep in mind lighting can
basically make or break a physique but even in this outdoor lighting he looks
really impressive here here goes a picture when he's on set just kind of
get the makeup done he actually looks more impressive right here more later
now bear in mind you're not gonna look you're gonna look a little bit better
here a little bit there there a little bit worse here and there depending on
the day of the shoot the diets that the physique can change so much I mean I
myself will easily fluctuate five pounds in a day where I might look bloated and
then later in the day I could look like really lean for example in that net and
that's just normal now going back to what I said earlier in the video the
people on my list the they didn't just do this 12-week transformation this one
month this three month transformation they have already had a background if
you look at the Henry Cavill physique in a prior film called The Immortals he
actually as far as from a leena standpoint looked even more impressive
so he's obviously just got a good build he's athletic he's obviously worked out
prior to this and even reports for this film I read that he trained nine
just to prepare you know bringing his body away from a slim 175 to much more
muscular 193 now he lost a little bit of definition but you know for this role I
think it helped him to look a little bit bulkier not that Superman necessarily is
going to have the physique of a bodybuilder but he's definitely got to
look pretty he's got to look the part and some of the previous actors that
played Superman didn't quite look the part in my opinion so now the reason why
I really believe he's natural for man is still I mean his physique looks great
don't get me wrong it looks amazing but it's nothing out of the realm of
something that can't be achieved naturally you're talking about a guy
who's six foot one he's a little bit under 200 pounds so that's very
achievable he's not super ripped he's a lean he looks great but he's not
shredded or anything so this is actually a healthy body fat percentage a healthy
weight and again if it really did take him nine months to bulk up for this he
did in a healthy way a way that you can do it naturally and you know even prior
to the training for this in the preparation for this he's already had a
background working out here or he's already looked good and and to top it
all off he has obviously great genetics so that's also gonna help as well so
coming in at number two on my list is Jean-Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport
now Bloodsport came out when Dan Dan was 28 so he would have filmed it when he
was 27 it definitely in his prime now Jean-Claude Van Damme is by far my
favorite in fact he's one of the guys I'd say the main guy that inspired me at
a young age to really get fit getting the martial arts etc I felt like we had
a similar story of a background skinny kid with glasses pretty pathetic got
picked on and what better way to build yourself if not just your body but your
mind and your confidence through weightlifting and martial arts so he
obviously lives the lifestyle and and he's looked amazing for decades now
Bloodsport was really a great showcase for Van Damme, both his physique and of
course his martial arts ability I think extra props has to be given to Van Damme I
know this video is more about the physique but just just the the technique
the athleticism the gracefulness there's very few martial artists that can do
what he does I almost can't even do it nearly as well and that's one of the
reasons why he became so famous this was really the launch platform and
you know he still has a pretty successful career right now I mean
granted these days he's Marvis straight-to-video guy unfortunately but
there was a time in the 90s where you know outside of Sloan and Schwarzenegger
I mean he was the next here him and Steven Seagal in and there's good reason
for it and this was really good launchpad for that now Van Damme really
showcased full complete development here you'll see like in this shot right here
is backed really well-developed he's got really great developed legs yeah in fact
in the last fight in the movie you'll see him fighting in with pretty much
biker spandex shorts really good leg development
great upper body overall good chest wide shoulders now he specifically doesn't
train his traps at heavy he said just because he kind of wants his shoulders
to look wider he's naturally not a really big guy he
stands about anywhere between 5'8" and 5'10"
all right saying Bloodsport he's probably in the 180s I believe he said
he was up to 185 and that's that's definitely believable he's not the
leanest in this movie in fact I believe he actually looked a little sharper in
Kickboxer but I liked his overall look in this film a lot so one important
thing to keep in mind this physique took a lot of time so if he's 27 when he's
shooting this he's been training consistently since his early teens so
let's say 14 years old for example this is 13 years of training not saying it
took 13 years you get here usually training naturally you're going to get a
lot of your games in in the first three years especially you know for for his
instance going through puberty I'm sure he made some massive gains early on but
then there's years of refinement so this is something that it's a really
good-looking physique that that could be achieved naturally just takes a lot of
time prior to this he actually did a bodybuilding show believe it or not the
Mr. Belgium contest and here's a picture from that so even more credence to the
believability that he's been natural during this film and I believe he still
is to this day just look at the consistency in his physique going all
the way back from the 80s up until now there hasn't been like any drastic
changes which is is very common for a natural physique you're going to have
your ups and downs but it's not going to be anything like
they in fact the most impressive thing you can do once you achieve a certain
level of physique is basically to maintain that and that's exactly what
fan dance being able to do throughout the years here's a more recent picture
of them now in the 60s believe it or not
so number one on my list is Sylvester Stallone and Rambo first blood part two
so right about you came out in 1985 when Stallone was 39 so he would have filmed
this around the age of 38 so he's the oldest on this list but this by far I
believe is one of the best-looking physiques on film in any film natural or
not now Stallone is another favorite of mine
and I know nowadays especially due to his age he sees life extension doctors
he's on testosterone replacement as well as growth hormone which you know at that
age and if you have the resources where you can have a doctor monitor your
health doing it for health benefits obviously the gym performance the
recovery why not take advantage of that but I'm going to go back to Rambo too
and I did a video on that on why I believe he was natural at the time of
that but anyway check out that video I'll link at the end of this one but
let's go ahead and look at what his Rambo 2 physique looks like. Right now now the
first thing that's going to stick out and what's by far the most impressive is
just the level of leanness he carries now this isn't necessarily a level of
leanness and body fat you'd want to maintain year-round it would be healthy
but damn does it look impressive to get in such amazing shape Stallone actually
trained with former Mr. Olympia Franco Columbu in fact hired him on full-time
and basically Franco the only way he would take the job was
he told Stallone he basically have to do what I say
there were some extreme training some extreme dieting and Franco Columbu in an
interview actually said Stallone he made sure it was not on steroids for this
role fame reason for that was he wanted to make sure Stallone look absolutely
shredded and Rambo didn't have any kind of bloat because he knew Rambo it was
more more impressive and more important to be really really conditioned and
ripped a lot of people equate rainbow with being on steroids and maybe he was
in future films I don't know or not but as far as party goes there's no signs of
it swung has been training prior to this really started hitting his stride I'd
say a couple years prior to this and rocky 3 also training with Franco
Columbu but he got a figure Sloan's been at it for a long time he's training with
mr. Olympia former mr. Olympia the guy the guy knows his stuff and he's got the
crazy work ethic and let's be let's be realistic here
he's in his 170s smells about five eight maybe five ten somewhere around that
range being ripped out one seventy is not unheard of that i could very well be
achieved naturally so anyway let me know what you guys think and these three that
i showcase today which one's your favorite which one do you aspire to you
which one motivates you and also though in the comment section some great as far
as you think natural physiques that showcased on film i'll do some follow-up
videos but let me know what you guys think if not these top three which your
favorite one is and of course thanks for watching guys if you liked the video hit
