I got to see Magazine Dreams at Sundance back in the day! It's a pretty moving movie, for any of us with obsessive, unhealthy dreams.
One note on the "6100" calories a day mention - that is a typical Hllywood bullshit number that has no bearing on reality and I really wish Hollywood would stop trotting numbers like that out for people to try to compete with to get movie star bods.
At 6100 calories a day you'd gain 8 lbs every week and most of it fat (you can't make muscle fast enough). To put this in perspective, a 6'3'' 35 year old man at 280lbs who led an "Extremely Active Lifestyle" would only need to eat 4803 Calories a day to maintain that weight. Majors was only maintaining 202 lbs on a 6' frame for Magazine Dreams. That would take closer to 3842 calories a day to maintain. Nothing approaching 6100!
Ooh, thank you for the calorie insight here! I saw someone debunking this high of a calorie count on another app; I’ll link it to the article when I find it again.
For anyone reading this, also note every single actor/Hollywood "workout", the "how they got in shape for such and such role" articles or videos, those are also completely made up garbage. The only way anyone got that jacked was doing the extremely boring basics, on stable solid ground (instability is useless for muscle growth), just pulls, presses, dips, squats, deadlftsi, the end. It makes for a shitty "secret of" so they make up weird random garbage and force the actors and trainers to do it all on camera for the rubes.
Hard agree! I think it was the California Governator who once said, “I lift heavy things and put them down”. I promise I’ll go into more detail on why this is importante in Part Two.
