It is a matter of efficiency. 4 hrs a day is high-intensity full body workout. If 4 hrs a day got you looking like that, you were not using your time efficiently. I guess, we need to define what you consider “going to/using the gym”.
I’m just a guy who’s been in some gyms, but most, normal dedicated people are in and out in about 2 hrs. They hit their target bodyparts and bounce. More than that and I’d assume you have to wait for machines, you’re lazing around, or you’re an athlete/in action movies.
And then, even beyond efficiency, it’s about the body’s ability to sustain any decent workout for 4 whole hours. The Rock might manage all that with the supplements he’s taking and he still crams down thousands of calories to fuel himself. And none of these guys have the bulked weightlifter bodies.
Or they just run for 4 hrs. But I wouldn’t really call that a “gym body”.
If you have a source where these actors claim their physique is the result of 4 hrs of daily work in the gym, then I’ll take up my complaint with them. But I’m gonna hard disagree every day of the week.
I just mean our perspective of what strong looks like has been so shifted by steroids becoming main stream.
Like this is a bit of an outrageous example, but pranks like this are only possible because people can’t possibly believe one of the strongest people on the planet can look this small.
Giant muscles isn’t strong, giant muscles is just for show. And back then it wasn’t common for actors to use steroids yet. He had to work for those arms, they may look small now, but they were alot of work back then.
Honestly, I don’t know how many hours exactly, but it was more than people would think it was nowadays.
