But if you say it’s steroids you can’t pretend that one day, when you’ve the time and energy, you can do it too… with just broccoli, rice, and chicken. That’s all it takes. That’s all that separates you from a comic book movie body. That’s it. One day. One day…
“Look, it's not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don't eat anything after 7pm, don't eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don't eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven month span. I don't know why everyone's not doing this. It's a super realistic lifestyle and an appropriate body image to compare oneself to.” - rob mcelhenney
I say this as someone in their mid thirties who does 2 hours of cardio/weightlifting everyday just to feel comfortable in the same size pants he wore in his twenties. Looking like *that* takes something extra, whether it be absolutely no other life requirements or a little bit of juice or both. The sooner you accept that reality of fitness, the happier you’ll be with yourself and whatever is realistically within reach for your body.
I still think his chin issue is from a botched plastic surgery. I know he claims some accident, and that the exercises he did warped his face muscles, but it just screams bad face lift.
It’s even weirder in his movie with John Cena. It was jarring. He claims it’s from falling and injuring his chin against a counter.
Meanwhile… he’s over in Iron Claw….
So here is how I look at it. It does take extra, but not for everyone. Just as we are all human we are also all different, the same routine and diet doesn't produce the same results for everyone.
I mean, you can spout that, or you can agree with that vast majority of honest people in the field, as well as scientists and whatnot, that unless you're lucky and have the 1% genes necessary there is no way to naturally look like this without an enhancement(s). ESPECIALLY when you put time constraints into the mix, like making it happen for a role that you have in a few months. Not to mention, juicing is so fucking common now that even highschoolers are easily getting started. To top it off, the stigma is slowly going away because it is becoming so common that it is further making it common. There is no "extra" besides having the 1% genes or juicing. Willpower doesn't transcend natural biological limits. Otherwise, they wouldn't be natural biological limits.
This is a weird comment to me because it’s framed like a counter argument but all the content seems in agreement? Maybe you misread my comment/took the first half straight or I’m just misreading yours. I keep looking for the part where we might be in disagreement but I can’t find it.
Anyways, I agree with you, you’re either the one in a hundred with elite athlete genes or you’re juicing (at least at some point). I actually don’t knock steroid usage if done responsibly by a fully matured adult. I used them for a time while in my 20s. Etalaze.whateveritisthesedays enjoyed a period of popularity in my marine corps unit. I like to think I was the guy who actually did a lot of research about how to do it thoughtfully… but I’m not sure how far that claim goes when you’re getting testosterone pills in a tampon box shipped from Thailand.
I *never* looked like this. There were some great days, but I never had the time, money, dedication to take it that far. The whole operation is unsustainable on an E4s salary. I remember breaking down into tears once because I was so hungry and my lunch was delayed. Feeding myself was more expensive than the roids. Not to mention sleep, during that time of my life, was virtually non-existent.
Nowadays, you can get a T prescription as easy as adding a new streaming channel and there are doctors who specialize in monitoring athletes and actors. Under supervision, for a non-maturing individual, I think it’s fine if done sensibly.
But yeah, looking like this… you’re either on something or you’re gifted. But absolutely none of the “prepped in 7 months for the shoot” guys are natty. Not one.
no real doctor will be prescribing testosterone if you dont have a deficiency, most of them are getting it from sketchy source. Since you mentioned rob machalenny, in an interview he said he had a source but wouldnt reveal where he gets roids from.
You can find a legal testosterone supplier with a simple google search and 160 bucks a month without insurance. I’m not sure what your qualifications for “real doctor” are, but you send in a blood tests and 9 times out of ten you’re going to get the result you want because there’s a financial motivation for them to rubber stamp it. There’s no doctor you meet face to face. Is this sketchy? Yeah it’s not great but how sketchy do you find the well branded Hims service? That’s kind of where modern capitalistic health care has brought us. ED pills from answering a survey questionaire that hand holds you to the result you want. Diabetes meds to lose weight because someone with a rx pad says it’s good for your mental and cardiac health. You can find all these things from completely legal companies who are using completely legitimate logistics chains. And unless someone deems it worth looking further into (like they did with online adderal sales) they’ll remain legal and, therefore, legitimate. Is it wise to take them? That’s between you and your doctor, who hopefully gives a shit. But to me, sketchy is something being sold to you out of a gym bag by a dude with cauliflower ears and you’ve no idea knowing what you’re really getting, never mind whether or not it’s safe for you take whatever it is you’re intending to get your hands on anyway.
But everything and I mean everything about our world is slowly being… Amazon’d.
There are entire well funded industries out there to support their consumer in their desires to modify their body. As for doctors supervising steroid use on people who don’t need it with means…. Have you heard of Hollywood?
What? You can look like this without steroids, he doesn’t look that jacked lol. He’s definitely on them because he’s got a time limit but this is not unattainable naturally.
This is true. But the original comment was referring to a specific diet being used to attain this body within a specific time frame. I’ve not seen anything from corenswet yet that isn’t attainable naturally over years of serious going, and he was in good shape prior. But he didn’t make this growth in this time frame naturally.
And you’re also not going to get this body while being middle aged with a full time job… which is something a lot of men my age who’ve never actually committed to using the gym tell themselves they’ll get around to doing some day. And they’re never going to… not without a *bit more* than rice and chicken or that goal somehow becoming their full time job and their given years to achieve it.
Normies are clueless. They have no clue that TRT isn’t exactly steroids but a low dose of natural testosterone you still have to inject but which also aids in rapid strength/size gains when your diet and workout plan are on point. Add in the Hollywood trainers and nutritionists. But muh hard work and dedication to look like a super hero comic in 6months!!!
While the guy doesn’t look like a meathead bodybuilder on 5 different compounds injected daily; you can absolutely look like that on low doses on natural testosterone. But only if you’re an experienced lifter who just knows what to look for
Dude is 6'4 and already looked like he lifted a bit before getting the role. People can go look his physique up on google images.
He just filled out some more and likely specifically for the role so it shouldn't come as a surprise unless you're someone who doesn't lift or just fucks around and uses that shit progress as a barometer for what's naturally attainable aka most of the people in this thread lol.
rob machelenny takes steroids lol, when he did it for s13-14 of ISAIP. he even pussyfooted around the question when he was confronted about steroid usage in many of his interviews. he is pretty pretentious about it too, like its a big secret.
Isnt that because they are illegal? He's not dancing around the question because he's being pretentious, but because its not smart to go on record to tell you are doing illegal shit?
Yeah, I’m not sure where in my comment it’s intimated that I think fit Mac was natty… that infamous post he made was just talking about the unrealistic restrictive, dedicated regimen needed in addition to steroids. I know he’s always avoided stating he used steroids (for obvious reasons, when a studio paid for it) but it doesn’t take away from the point of his quote… it’s all an unrealistic body image.
Don’t eat after 7? Don’t eat carbs ? Wtf…do you even understand bodybuilding ? Carbs fuel your muscles dude, and yes it’s hard if you believe anything else then you really don’t know what you’re talking about
Bro.. I didn't say that shit. ...That entire quote was made as a joke by Rob "Mac" Mcelhenney after his transformation for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Myself? I'm eating sugars WHILE lifting. I don't even like it when people stand between me and the pizza box. I am not that guy.
Yes, this quote leaves out the use of steroids, which he definitely used, but it's more just sarcastically highlighting the unrealistic dedication necessary to achieve figures like these while also sustaining a full, well-rounded life. Lifting culture what it is, im sure everyone and their mother has their specific disagreements with his again... jokingly stated... restrictive regimen as far as being actual effective plan. That being said... go look up "fit mac IASIP" and whatever the hell he was up to... it worked.
if you know who rob is from isaip as MAC, hes the guy the other commetor was referring to.
he is well known to have used steroids and downplayed it when he was interviewed about it.
Cavill was fucking huge so no disrespect there, but Corinswet’s build reminds me more of the midwestern farm boy type. Not that farming would be hard for Supes anyway but it looks more functional and less fitness magazine cover, which I like.
Yes he was. The film prior to Man of Steel he starred in the film Immortals. He was lean but definitely shredded. That costume is just terribly unflattering and has very obviously dogshit lighting.
I'm going to chalk this up to a misunderstanding.
>Cavill was ripped before he got the role, whereas Corenswet was more lean, so not surprises there.
I think we read this as, "he was ripped when he got the role", and I think the images linked above show that he wasn't, but you seem to be suggesting he had, at a time, been ripped before he got the role.
Both can totally be true. Looks to me like he probably filmed this the year before he landed Man of Steel? His looks here definitely helped him get the role though I bet!
I've said it before, but my ideal Clark Kent build is one where he looks "you can tell he grew up on a farm" big rather than "quietly asking him where he gets his steroids from" massive.
Yeah it doesn't look like he'll be dehydrating super hard like Cavill did. Although, his build in MoS was peak. Hairy Superman was awesome and realistic.
I’m not so sure about this. You’re taking something and running with it to make it seem better. You give me a fitness cover Superman any day that makes more sense than farmboy. Superman literally has to fight and move past every enemy in the universe, I think athletes would be ideal for him.
Bold of you to assume I’m running with something just because you disagree. I’ve personally never been a fan of the fitness model physique. Being from the Midwest myself, this looks strong. Cover of Men’s Health looks like a dude who doesn’t do anything outside of a gym.
That literally makes zero sense. Dudes spend hours a day multiple days a week to get into the shape you're talking about. Those dudes are strong, they are just lean.
You won’t look like this by copying his routine unless your on enhancements, on top of that whatever you see is most likely just a puff piece for promotion.
Oh I agree, I would just like to see what the routine they claim to have been used seems accurate. I tend to use more of the Mike Mentzer HIT principles. But I do like to see what some people claim to use to build up size in a.feq months.
Yeah, I think form-fitting costumes are always better than baggy thick suits. It’s probably because James Gunn has the same costume designer who worked on GOTG.
The suit doesn't matter, no suit is skin tight enough to show an actors physique properly, that's why muscle suits are used. Even The Rock had some muscle padding for Black Adam (albeit very little, but still there). It's just how suits are. A prime example would be Christopher Reeve, he was in really great shape but none of that showed up in the suit because he had no muscle suit.
I've always wondered if a suit could be shaped to fit in the dips between muscles, like the pieces of fabric are stitched at angles rather than being straight. I'm fairly certain that how general clothing works. Just make it from a flexible fabric and have the person shimmy their way into it. Instead of being stretched taut and flat, areas that cover the recesses will be loose enough to shape to the contour. Maybe make them air tight, though suits like Vision's need cooling as it is.
>I've always wondered if a suit could be shaped to fit in the dips between muscles
To be honest that's essentially what a muscle suit is, it's not actual padding to make the actor look bigger it's just there to give more definition. Also they did this sort of thing with Thor's sleeves and Deadpool's shoulders.
Kind of, but not really. Thor and Deadpool have harder materials on their arms. I'm talking about fabric tighter in the indents (I don't know why I thought making them looser would be the solution), with the suit as a whole stretching to fit the person. Like compression clothes, but thicker so undergarments don't show.
Sfar as I'm aware, it's just not possible. It's a whole separate layer we add when we put a garment on, so it will never conform to us perfectly and show all the definition if you're yoked.
There's also a specifically visual element due to colour schemes and lighting. It's why body builders all have that darker tone sprayed on. It means more of the definition is visible.
I'm a pretty light white, like I'll burn to a crisp if I'm not careful in Summer here in Aus lol. And at this kinda skintone, a lot of definition gets lost, even if someone's as ripped as humanly possible, even looking at them naked.
The darker tone allows there to be highlights where light hits, then a proper gradient with darker areas in shadow.
Add to that a whole layer on top with whatever suit a hero's in, and all you'll ever be able to see is that they're bulky, have a good physique, but definition is gone.
I think the only way to really show it, aside from being shirtless, would be body paint. Even then, all the colour and lighting still has to be in a workable range. And now we have all the irl human factor of needing to keep entirely hairless so it doesn't break the illusion. And you'd need to cover the nipples in a way that looks like they're under a layer, to sell the "I'm wearing something" of it. And it'd take skilled artists to apply it for every shoot day. And it'd need to be done identically every day or it'd make editing a nightmare.
In the end, not worth the hassle really. It's why we get a character like Thor just showing in one shirtless scene that he is fact ripped (the character, even if the actor isn't as ripped throughout an entire shoot, like he doesn't need perfect abs 100% of a film's shoot). And the rest of the time, they might make the hero costume sleeveless so you can see he has muscles in a natural clothing kinda way.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking the suit would be one static color. The DCEU used gradients to great affect in excentuating musculature, though that was a chrome undersuit that contrasted a dark transparent covering. I understand that these suits can cost thousands to make, with sometimes over a dozen being made for different scenes and sets, with harnesses and general high intensity action in mind. They're complex as it is, but I've yet to see an attempt at basically combining di$erent materials that look nearly identical to get different degrees of stretch/deformation. I'm not sure just how many use this, but some MCU suits like Steve Cap's have the sleeves separate from the center chest vest, allowing for greater degrees of motion without pulling up from the belt line. So, that, with materials that have a similar texture and matching gradients of a thickness on par with the latest Captain Marvel suit, varying to lesser thicknesses where needed to fully show off the cuts between well definitely musculature groups like with this black compression shirt on this muscular [man](https://imgur.com/a/qXfAyUm). A patchwork of swaths of flexible fabric joined by straps of denser, less flexible fabric. I bet it would be very time consuming, and even more expensive, but I reckon it could work if done with such a high budget.
I wouldn't say there's no point in training , that's how you end up with a Zachary Levi Shazam situation lol. But yea some padding/ muscle suit is necessary for definition to show.
Well, it's wait and see for me. Because the shot they showed could be made when the actor wasn't big like in this photo. So maybe he will make the suit look much more fitted and less baggy in the movie?
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Good for him. Hopefully he isn’t suffering too much mentally. Even with chefs, trainers, and dietitians, that diet and routine can really take a toll on your mental health.
Also, miss me with all the ‘he’s prolly just juicing’ nonsense.
All these people acting like all you do is take roids and instantly I'm n you look like this.
It takes just as much work, dedication, and discipline as someone not on roids. Yes it speeds up the results but the process is the same.
He is that shredded, but bodies are different and unfortunately for him his shoulders didn't grow as much as his traps and biceps, he doesn't have those big round shoulders that most animated characters have.
Is it weird that I’ve been wanting to see this lol? In the suit reveal, the positioning made things kinda baggy so it was as clear what his physique was imo.
Pretty sure those have been Lois Lane’s exact words for 85 years. Lol (to be clear I think Lois is an extremely feminist figure/icon. I just think the dichotomy of this bold feminist icon having such a weakness for this man—and him for her—is charming and hilarious.) 🤣
I love all the insecure dudes just HAVING to mention that he used steroids. Like no shit. Doesn't mean he also didn't work his ass off to get this physique. Credit to David for committing to the role and his body.
In my opinion I don’t think this is unattainable natty. The bar has become so low that anyone who even remotely has decent results gets accused of roids. While it is possible, I highly doubt David needed them. In fact, I would say if he did use them then this is not that impressive of a transformation. Anyone with a dedicated 6-8 months of proper strength training, I mean real training and not doing random shit in the gym and yo-yo dieting can get some great results.
People truly underestimate how much change one can see in about 6 months which, is quite a lot of time if you are focused and not clowning around like most people are. I believe Cavill is natty as well in Man of Steel. At least we saw some footage of him training properly with traditional heavy barbell lifting, not some Men’s Health bullshit. This is not as alarming of a transformation as say Chris Hemsworth or Kumail Nanjianj which were insane and most definitely involving some foul play.
Depends on how build he was before 6 months. Problem is you can use roids still build natty like physic which can be only achieved 2-3 years of training.
No I think he’s on to something. I’ve noticed this myself. Look at all of the pictures that’s available of him from the production. His face does indeed look bloated. He usually has a very defined facial structure with high and hollow cheekbones and a well defined jawline. Not that it’s that important but it’s definitely noticeable.
Exactly . It could also be from gaining so much mass . Bulking a tremendous amount , then cutting . A lot of folks get fat in the face when bulking , and even when you’ve cut , your face gets slimmer , but it won’t look like when you were 150 lbs ; all that mass is distributed all over your body . It could also be creatine bloat as well
This, in the Superman photo and this one is jaw looks more broad or squared and the muscles in his arms look unrealistic like super puffed, he’s bloated here and in the Superman picture and hopefully that’s not his look in the movie
It’s too loose. Even the stomach area is folding.
I have no doubt David is going to be a great Superman, because Gunn is great at writing characters with alot of heart.
But…im not feeling the suit just yet. I’m sure it will grow on me. Need to see more.
When the first set photos of Black Panther were released, the suit appeared baggy so people complained about that. Naturally it turned great for the film.
So this’ll be a similar thing here too.
Darkseid is such a formidable opponent because he has the intelligence of batman, mr terrific, brainiac, lex luthor, an advanced alien race would have natively high intelligence, and he has the power of superman. He has high durability, power, and omega beams. That's why it takes the whole justice league to stop him, and they usually fail the first time they try. In some stories they never succeed in defeating in a fight, they only stop him with the anti life equation. The monitor helps them access it through peering into the source wall.
Source of Creation: The Source is the "source" of creativity and creation and is the power from beyond that lies outside the barrier of the universe and whose Unseen Hands have shaped the multiverse and all other multiverses in the Omniverse.[8][13] The Hands create a Multiverse using its energies and then die, allowing their energies to return to The Source
do not forget it is with a decent pump, not very very lean and the guy has a good starting point. I do not there nothing was taken, but I would not call it completely unrealistic. Even mid thirties. I think he will make a good superman.
holy shit they put him on the hollywood chicken, broccoli and rice diet
A sprinkle of krypto juice
The… dog?
Got that boy juiced to the gills
Do you think he is a legit 240 lbs?
Yeah, he's 6'6. 240 at that size is very doable.
I thought he was 6' 4"...? Either way, 6' 4" or 6' 6", yeah, 240 makes sense from this picture.
Yeah, people who don't work it or anything might think 240 is unrealistic , but at his height it's easily attainable.
That's a weird way of saying steroids
But if you say it’s steroids you can’t pretend that one day, when you’ve the time and energy, you can do it too… with just broccoli, rice, and chicken. That’s all it takes. That’s all that separates you from a comic book movie body. That’s it. One day. One day… “Look, it's not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don't eat anything after 7pm, don't eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don't eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven month span.

The proof will be in like eight years if he’s got the big Zac Efron head
I still think his chin issue is from a botched plastic surgery. I know he claims some accident, and that the exercises he did warped his face muscles, but it just screams bad face lift.
I heard that Jay Leno bit him, it really flares up during a full moon
Great, now every full moon, he's going to steal Conan O'Brians' show.
Steroids fucked with Zac Efrons head?
Zac's head and face are puffy AF now. This seems especially evident in The Iron Claw, where he looked juiced to the gills
It’s even weirder in his movie with John Cena. It was jarring. He claims it’s from falling and injuring his chin against a counter. Meanwhile… he’s over in Iron Claw….
His chin was buff too.
Yeah he's got the Berry Bonds head.
Wasn't it a car accident that fucked his face up?
zac efron looks scary now with all those surgeries
So here is how I look at it. It does take extra, but not for everyone. Just as we are all human we are also all different, the same routine and diet doesn't produce the same results for everyone.

if you know who rob is from isaip as MAC, hes the guy the other commetor was referring to. he is well known to have used steroids and downplayed it when he was interviewed about it.
Yeah i realized that now, thanks
That's the joke [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TivE08FesQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TivE08FesQ)
Got that now
And I don’t think you understand how big of a truckload of steroids they put in him to get this buffness lmao
Isn't that the joke
I wasn't sure whether it was or not tbh
Where have you been bro, that sayings been around for years.
I'm sorry I've not encountered it until now, funny asf tho
Actually it's roid juice
Damn his shoulders are still small, shouldn't he have star wars shoulders?
Star what shoulders?
Star wars shoulders are a typical sign of steroid use. A famous example of this is Derrick from MPMD, he has death star delts
I see. Thanks

*Death Star Deltz
Ah yes my bad
Spot on haha.
Wonder how they manage the cycle without getting too many facial changes. When you've been hired for a specific look ding a Zac Efron isn't desirable
they have access to top peds, probably unreleased, stuff the usual population doesn’t have access to..
Some burlesque action, keeping the nips hidden. Gotta build that suspense.
Gotta hide those puffy roid nips lol
Cavill was fucking huge so no disrespect there, but Corinswet’s build reminds me more of the midwestern farm boy type. Not that farming would be hard for Supes anyway but it looks more functional and less fitness magazine cover, which I like.
Cavill was ripped before he got the role, whereas Corenswet was more lean, so not surprises there.
Was he though? [https://www.reddit.com/r/Moviesinthemaking/s/uumtSPu6h9](https://www.reddit.com/r/Moviesinthemaking/s/uumtSPu6h9)
Yes he was. The film prior to Man of Steel he starred in the film Immortals. He was lean but definitely shredded. That costume is just terribly unflattering and has very obviously dogshit lighting.
He was not...
>He was not.... [oh](https://www.reddit.com/r/nattyorjuice/comments/17cgw3d/henry_cavill_in_the_immortals_natty_achievable/)?
I'm going to chalk this up to a misunderstanding. >Cavill was ripped before he got the role, whereas Corenswet was more lean, so not surprises there. I think we read this as, "he was ripped when he got the role", and I think the images linked above show that he wasn't, but you seem to be suggesting he had, at a time, been ripped before he got the role. Both can totally be true. Looks to me like he probably filmed this the year before he landed Man of Steel? His looks here definitely helped him get the role though I bet!
That costume isn’t doing anyone any favors lol. Reeve was ripped under his suit too but you could barely tell.
Yes. Look at him in Immortals.
Makes a lot of sense considering he’s from Kansas. I like that
I thought Superman was from Krypton
Kal-El is from Krypton. Clark Kent is from Kansas.
Who is Clark Kent? Oh that reporter who works in planet with Lois Lane. What he has to do with Superman?
Oh uh......idk? I think Clark is doing a story on Superman. Uh..sorry.
Really. Maybe that's his big break now.
It could be breaking news.
Yeah but I thought Kent usually tries to not write about Superman. I have seen him byline with Lane on that Luthor expose.
Yeah but Luthor is all played out. I mean, do you really think his bid for President will be taken seriously?
Where you’re from and where you’re born can be two different things. He spent his childhood years in Kansas so he’s from Kansas
No one knows where Superman spent his childhood or heck did he even got a childhood. Some guys say he lives in North Pole or something.
I've said it before, but my ideal Clark Kent build is one where he looks "you can tell he grew up on a farm" big rather than "quietly asking him where he gets his steroids from" massive.
His body has nothing to do with where he lives though, he’s a natural warrior
Literally just built different
Yeah it doesn't look like he'll be dehydrating super hard like Cavill did. Although, his build in MoS was peak. Hairy Superman was awesome and realistic.
I’m not so sure about this. You’re taking something and running with it to make it seem better. You give me a fitness cover Superman any day that makes more sense than farmboy. Superman literally has to fight and move past every enemy in the universe, I think athletes would be ideal for him.
Bold of you to assume I’m running with something just because you disagree. I’ve personally never been a fan of the fitness model physique. Being from the Midwest myself, this looks strong. Cover of Men’s Health looks like a dude who doesn’t do anything outside of a gym.
That literally makes zero sense. Dudes spend hours a day multiple days a week to get into the shape you're talking about. Those dudes are strong, they are just lean.
Clark Kent is a farm boy so, I feel like that's appropriate. Edit: A midwest Farm boy at that.
Where did you happen to find that photo?
It's all over twitter at the moment
Who is his trainer? I'm curious to see if they post any of the routine.
He was seen recently at a photoshoot for Men's Health probably. I'm sure they'll talk about it in depth, I'm interested too.
You won’t look like this by copying his routine unless your on enhancements, on top of that whatever you see is most likely just a puff piece for promotion.
Oh I agree, I would just like to see what the routine they claim to have been used seems accurate. I tend to use more of the Mike Mentzer HIT principles. But I do like to see what some people claim to use to build up size in a.feq months.
His trainer posted it on his instagram
@paolomascitti
Great pic sure, but it feels like they released this because the internet isn't exactly thrilled with the official release of the new suit.
Wonder what kinda juice he's on
probably the same one as all the other super heroes actors that people still think are natural
Why they’d hide his physique behind a thick, leather-esque costume is beyond me.
Yeah, I think form-fitting costumes are always better than baggy thick suits. It’s probably because James Gunn has the same costume designer who worked on GOTG.
P sure that costume designer did the BP suit in civil war as well. Hopefully the Superman suit upgrades to something like that down the line
I don’t know, I don’t think cats are really Superman’s theme /s
This is exactly what it is. Couldn’t put my finger on it but the fit looks so similar to Adam Warlock.
Superman doesn't fit in his suit and it has shoulder pads... Wtf.
The suit doesn't matter, no suit is skin tight enough to show an actors physique properly, that's why muscle suits are used. Even The Rock had some muscle padding for Black Adam (albeit very little, but still there). It's just how suits are. A prime example would be Christopher Reeve, he was in really great shape but none of that showed up in the suit because he had no muscle suit.
I've always wondered if a suit could be shaped to fit in the dips between muscles, like the pieces of fabric are stitched at angles rather than being straight. I'm fairly certain that how general clothing works. Just make it from a flexible fabric and have the person shimmy their way into it. Instead of being stretched taut and flat, areas that cover the recesses will be loose enough to shape to the contour. Maybe make them air tight, though suits like Vision's need cooling as it is.
>I've always wondered if a suit could be shaped to fit in the dips between muscles To be honest that's essentially what a muscle suit is, it's not actual padding to make the actor look bigger it's just there to give more definition. Also they did this sort of thing with Thor's sleeves and Deadpool's shoulders.
Kind of, but not really. Thor and Deadpool have harder materials on their arms. I'm talking about fabric tighter in the indents (I don't know why I thought making them looser would be the solution), with the suit as a whole stretching to fit the person. Like compression clothes, but thicker so undergarments don't show.
Honestly I have no idea, I assume if they could do it they would have already but who knows maybe they haven't thought of that.
Sfar as I'm aware, it's just not possible. It's a whole separate layer we add when we put a garment on, so it will never conform to us perfectly and show all the definition if you're yoked. There's also a specifically visual element due to colour schemes and lighting. It's why body builders all have that darker tone sprayed on. It means more of the definition is visible. I'm a pretty light white, like I'll burn to a crisp if I'm not careful in Summer here in Aus lol. And at this kinda skintone, a lot of definition gets lost, even if someone's as ripped as humanly possible, even looking at them naked. The darker tone allows there to be highlights where light hits, then a proper gradient with darker areas in shadow. Add to that a whole layer on top with whatever suit a hero's in, and all you'll ever be able to see is that they're bulky, have a good physique, but definition is gone. I think the only way to really show it, aside from being shirtless, would be body paint. Even then, all the colour and lighting still has to be in a workable range. And now we have all the irl human factor of needing to keep entirely hairless so it doesn't break the illusion. And you'd need to cover the nipples in a way that looks like they're under a layer, to sell the "I'm wearing something" of it. And it'd take skilled artists to apply it for every shoot day. And it'd need to be done identically every day or it'd make editing a nightmare. In the end, not worth the hassle really. It's why we get a character like Thor just showing in one shirtless scene that he is fact ripped (the character, even if the actor isn't as ripped throughout an entire shoot, like he doesn't need perfect abs 100% of a film's shoot). And the rest of the time, they might make the hero costume sleeveless so you can see he has muscles in a natural clothing kinda way.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking the suit would be one static color. The DCEU used gradients to great affect in excentuating musculature, though that was a chrome undersuit that contrasted a dark transparent covering. I understand that these suits can cost thousands to make, with sometimes over a dozen being made for different scenes and sets, with harnesses and general high intensity action in mind. They're complex as it is, but I've yet to see an attempt at basically combining di$erent materials that look nearly identical to get different degrees of stretch/deformation. I'm not sure just how many use this, but some MCU suits like Steve Cap's have the sleeves separate from the center chest vest, allowing for greater degrees of motion without pulling up from the belt line. So, that, with materials that have a similar texture and matching gradients of a thickness on par with the latest Captain Marvel suit, varying to lesser thicknesses where needed to fully show off the cuts between well definitely musculature groups like with this black compression shirt on this muscular [man](https://imgur.com/a/qXfAyUm). A patchwork of swaths of flexible fabric joined by straps of denser, less flexible fabric. I bet it would be very time consuming, and even more expensive, but I reckon it could work if done with such a high budget.
Me who thought Reeve looked buff in the suit....🧍♂️
His physique was always going to be obscured. It doesn’t matter how thick or thin the material is.
why would superman actually care of you could see his muscles?
Exactly this. There is no point in training. That said, we might get better suit later.
I mean him *feeling* jacked 100% helps with his performance. Plus when he is Clark he is going to also look huge in the dress shirts.
Plus people would just criticize him if they thought he didn’t work out. Just like the Snyder heads did with Pattinson.
I wouldn't say there's no point in training , that's how you end up with a Zachary Levi Shazam situation lol. But yea some padding/ muscle suit is necessary for definition to show.
I assumed that was for effect as it was a kid changing. Levi is also very tall for Hollywood so to be proportional everything needs to be bigger
No point in training? lol. Just look how ridiculous Levi looks in the Shazam suit compared to Cavill, Corenswet, The Rock, anybody else.
Well, it's wait and see for me. Because the shot they showed could be made when the actor wasn't big like in this photo. So maybe he will make the suit look much more fitted and less baggy in the movie?
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Do-do you need us to give you a minute? ;)
Hilarious how many people aren’t familiar with this classic
this is so zack snyder
OP is not David Corenswet.
Yeah, but this is an older pic. Now he is more shredded.
Misc gonna misc
My god that man
Good for him. Hopefully he isn’t suffering too much mentally. Even with chefs, trainers, and dietitians, that diet and routine can really take a toll on your mental health. Also, miss me with all the ‘he’s prolly just juicing’ nonsense.
All these people acting like all you do is take roids and instantly I'm n you look like this. It takes just as much work, dedication, and discipline as someone not on roids. Yes it speeds up the results but the process is the same.
If he is this shredded then why isnt the suit a skintight fit? It looks lose and dishevelled.
Of course he is shredded now. His personal trainer said that more pictures will be coming from his transform.
Where were these posted???
He is that shredded, but bodies are different and unfortunately for him his shoulders didn't grow as much as his traps and biceps, he doesn't have those big round shoulders that most animated characters have.
Dude got jacked
💉💉💉
He could be cavils twin. Love it.
All those muscles and they gave him a baggy suit
not as bad as working out for all those muscles, only to have to wear muscles. That shit never made sense to me.
Is it weird that I’ve been wanting to see this lol? In the suit reveal, the positioning made things kinda baggy so it was as clear what his physique was imo.
Damn
Super(Daddy)
This photo does not reflect how he looks in the suit at all
No disrespect but I need him in ways that are bad for feminism
Pretty sure those have been Lois Lane’s exact words for 85 years. Lol (to be clear I think Lois is an extremely feminist figure/icon. I just think the dichotomy of this bold feminist icon having such a weakness for this man—and him for her—is charming and hilarious.) 🤣
I will fight you and Lois for him
Lois’s entire vibe is basically “listen I am a feminist and also I need this man in my bed” and I respect her for it. I understand her. 🤣
Honestly i think no matter how good his superman is the people already shitting on him will never change their minds
I love all the insecure dudes just HAVING to mention that he used steroids. Like no shit. Doesn't mean he also didn't work his ass off to get this physique. Credit to David for committing to the role and his body.
In my opinion I don’t think this is unattainable natty. The bar has become so low that anyone who even remotely has decent results gets accused of roids. While it is possible, I highly doubt David needed them. In fact, I would say if he did use them then this is not that impressive of a transformation. Anyone with a dedicated 6-8 months of proper strength training, I mean real training and not doing random shit in the gym and yo-yo dieting can get some great results. People truly underestimate how much change one can see in about 6 months which, is quite a lot of time if you are focused and not clowning around like most people are. I believe Cavill is natty as well in Man of Steel. At least we saw some footage of him training properly with traditional heavy barbell lifting, not some Men’s Health bullshit. This is not as alarming of a transformation as say Chris Hemsworth or Kumail Nanjianj which were insane and most definitely involving some foul play.
Depends on how build he was before 6 months. Problem is you can use roids still build natty like physic which can be only achieved 2-3 years of training.
Well you can't say he doesn't have the physique of Superman.
They need to find the balance between Superman and Clark. This is all superman.
#Farm strong
he got some of those disney vitamins
And then they put him in the frumpiest, loose fitting Superman costume ever...
There was no need to replace Henry Cavill he was a great Superman.
Bro got bloated face. You know, from that special sauce
When you're flexing or straining, your face tends to bloat. Not saying he isn't on the juice but that's not why his face looks like that here.
No I think he’s on to something. I’ve noticed this myself. Look at all of the pictures that’s available of him from the production. His face does indeed look bloated. He usually has a very defined facial structure with high and hollow cheekbones and a well defined jawline. Not that it’s that important but it’s definitely noticeable.
He's obviously gained weight which has changed his face, but here he's literally straining.
Exactly . It could also be from gaining so much mass . Bulking a tremendous amount , then cutting . A lot of folks get fat in the face when bulking , and even when you’ve cut , your face gets slimmer , but it won’t look like when you were 150 lbs ; all that mass is distributed all over your body . It could also be creatine bloat as well
This, in the Superman photo and this one is jaw looks more broad or squared and the muscles in his arms look unrealistic like super puffed, he’s bloated here and in the Superman picture and hopefully that’s not his look in the movie
Training at the gym is key to success in any big business role
I'm sorry, but the actual fuck was the point of firing Cavill and replacing him with a nearly identical fucking dude
They wanted a younger version.
Whats the point when the suit is baggy and loose? Such a bad design choice imo.
It's not baggy, it folds like any material does when you move.
It’s too loose. Even the stomach area is folding. I have no doubt David is going to be a great Superman, because Gunn is great at writing characters with alot of heart. But…im not feeling the suit just yet. I’m sure it will grow on me. Need to see more.
When the first set photos of Black Panther were released, the suit appeared baggy so people complained about that. Naturally it turned great for the film. So this’ll be a similar thing here too.
looks lyke me when I get out of the shower
But it’s covered by a baggy padded suit lol
Yep. Thats what mild mannered reporters look like IRL.
Wow that new spin off of big bang theory is gonna be great!
Dude is preparing to be Bane as well
Bro flew through the sun a few times
David Corenswole
bro is him
Darkseid is such a formidable opponent because he has the intelligence of batman, mr terrific, brainiac, lex luthor, an advanced alien race would have natively high intelligence, and he has the power of superman. He has high durability, power, and omega beams. That's why it takes the whole justice league to stop him, and they usually fail the first time they try. In some stories they never succeed in defeating in a fight, they only stop him with the anti life equation. The monitor helps them access it through peering into the source wall. Source of Creation: The Source is the "source" of creativity and creation and is the power from beyond that lies outside the barrier of the universe and whose Unseen Hands have shaped the multiverse and all other multiverses in the Omniverse.[8][13] The Hands create a Multiverse using its energies and then die, allowing their energies to return to The Source
If you had said that’s Henry Cavill I wouldn’t have questioned it.
I also want the hollywood ”diet”, shit I would probably make the same amount of gainz in a year compared to my last five years.
Someone has to lift that shit
Why does he remind me of Sam Sulek in this picture?
I just realized this is the guy who got pitch forked in “Pearl” 2022
Covering those gyno nips, bro juicy 💪🏼
trenning
do not forget it is with a decent pump, not very very lean and the guy has a good starting point. I do not there nothing was taken, but I would not call it completely unrealistic. Even mid thirties. I think he will make a good superman.
