What's the deal with his physique here? Is this a 0 body fat ultra-ripped MMA body or something

It's not even accurate. MMA fighters look like this at the weigh-in, not the fight. He's completely dehydrated.

What I always liked about this is that making sarah connor fit as fuck actually made her less traditionally attractive.

Most female actors would not be willing to do that but it meant you actually believed she could be an action star.

Is there a more hard as fuck female action star?

there are literally hundreds, close to thousands of extras, who have gotten holocaust skinny just to be background characters. PoWs too. Christian Bale is talentless and uses weight loss to make up for his shit emotional range

When actors get like this, there is usually some sort of doping involved. I know it should be obvious but I wanted to point it out because some people in this thread seem to be unaware. These conversations about people on diets of apples and lettuce - yes, and drugs that are basically laxatives/make you less hungry or whatever. Let's not act like it's some diet miracle.

>>68999820
You can see little white hairs on his arms/shoulders in this one. These are anorexia hairs or "fine body hairs" - a common symptom in people who have serious eating disorders. In this case, he doesn't have an eating disorder, he's just been malnourishing himself intentionally for a role.

Impressive stuff and commendable that these actors would put themselves through these things, but remember it is fantasy and not real life.

CAPTCHA: select images with "juice." How appropriate :D

No he didn't get a prolapse. The muscles of his ass cheeks became too weak from the malnutrition so they kind of migrated down his leg. Apparently Bale found it amusing.

"Dehydrated"?

Is that an idiom among bodybuilders, or something?
>>
>>69012288
No it means you're dehydrated.
>>
>that actor who wants to be called by the character's name during lunch
>>
>>69012539

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

You do know what dehydration is, right? Being dehydrated doesn't make bodyfat disappear, nor muscle to grow.
>>
>>69012616

Achieving it topically however causes muscles, tendon, and vein separation to be much more apparent. Especially top lit.
>>
>>68999820
I think Arnold took it a bit further
>>
>>69012616
yes it does, if you want to be ripped too just drink nothing for 4-5 days, go ahead and do it, you will see the results
>>
>>69012616
The point of dehydration is to get rid of the weight caused by water in your body in order to get into a lower weight class, and also as >>69012656
said, it causes you to appear more vascular.
>>
>>69000960

Clearly, as you can see (unless that you are visually, or cognitively impaired), his physique shows evidence of extremely low bodyfat, and lean muscle, not just "dehydration-induced vascularity".

Are you stupid?
>>
>>69008364

To a millenial nu-male, that is an actual achievement and you belittling him is pathetic.

Arnold was actually too buff. He had to slim down for Conan because he couldn't actually do fight scenes.

>whole head

She's a brave woman. She might even be the hero we need but don't deserve.
>>
>>69012758

He trained his ass off, grew muscles for the role and THEN dehydrated to look like that for that scene/shot. You know, kinda like boxers or MMA fighters do in REAL FUCKING LIFE for weighing.

You don't even have to answer to the question "are you studid?", we all know the answer.

Her fitness and how cold and steely eyed she was through most of the movie fucking was amazing. In my book, she's still the standard against which female action stars should be put against.

Even Ripley, Vasquez and any role Michelle Rodriguez ever had, didn't convince me of pure power the way Sarah did right there.
