Sly stallones diet/routine during rocky 3: real or improbable?

[lvsteven]

I am a stallone fan.
I admire a guy offered 10x his yearly wage to sell rocky 1s screenplay and refusing based on principle that it was made for him to play, written by him.

However, ive read in several places about his diet and conditioning for rocky III and smell a bit of Hollywood marketing

Diet:

10 eggwhites a day
a piece of toast
an occasional piece of fruit.

The training they match to that diet sounds about dangerous as can be.

2mile running
18rounds sparribg
2 hours weights
Jumping more running in the evening.

Apparently 4.5% bodyfat and 6% non filming?

I wonder how much of that is realistic. And if real, sly is a goddamned machine from another planet.

I thought it was well known that he also drank slimer hi-c?...

[Mesonychia]

Maybe 60g protein, 30g carbs and probably less than 5g fats?
Oh lawdy

[lvsteven]

Wouldn't a ghostbusters reference be a few years after?

Lol.. Props for throwing it in.. I've read ppl say he did a tour de Philly. Hope not but it WAS the 70s so who knows.

I believe it. I can do that much on that little food. And I do believe he was that thar which would make it easier to accomplish.

Manny...... ok, lets think about this. Stallone didnt do this on ONE day, he did it for several months for a movie. this is less than 500cals a day with EXTREME amounts of training (18 rounds of sparing a day??)

I dont know much about the juice, but i wouldnt think even the juice cant save a starving man from losing some muscle with that one.

You can bet your ass actors use for certain roles.

Will juice save muscles even in starvation?

I don't know. I'd rather eat my fruits and veggies.

yeah, me too, that V8 crap makes a lot of claims, but I think they're bogus.

[SOJA]

I can't stand their juices. I love the tomato juice though. Needs some cayenne, fresh cracked pepper and Tapatio or similar hot sauce.

Arent you missing a couple ingredients there?

[Schlangemann]

disregard, I suck.

I don't like bloody mary's. I water down the V8 a little too, it's almost like a runny tomato paste out of the canister/bottle/can.

The diet seems a little extreme. I see no reason to believe anything other than Sly's lifetime natty status though. Accusations over the years of him being otherwise have basically been by lazy jelous people who simply wish to justified their own piss poor results.

[mannydawg]

^True about work ethic but I think he has used

Like I said I can do that much on that little food. I have done 600ish for 2 weeks while weight lifting 3 days a week, doing daily cardio and still had energy. If I remember correctly he only did this for a few weeks either way because on that little food and that much expidenture he cut down fast. I never mentioned anything about preserving muscle. And I read something where he talked about this. He mentioned getting down to about 150ish just to rebuild and get back up to 170-180.

He was busted trying to bring vials of an illegal substance (I no want ban) into Australia prior to shooting Rambo. It was big news down here.

Clearly that was someone else's or he was setup. There is zero evidence that those were his personal things.

Is Mannydawg trolling at this point? I assumed all the elite genetic stuff was troll...

[joelash302]

Diet reminds me of my wrestling diet in high school. Although I was also 100 pounds.

I could see him cutting on it as his work ethic is insane according to many old school sources. Pretty sure the gear helped.

None of it was a troll and is all legit. You guys will know this for sure soon enough.

dude, i never wanna piss someone off with like a billion rep power, but he actually wrote an apology to the authorities in Oz and said that he was ignorant of the local laws. (EDIT: he also paid like, $9000 in AUD of a fine)

It was just HGH, and he was importing it because he was going to Burma to film Rambo, and as he said himself several times you cant exactly find a doctor there to get that sort of stuff.

So he did not "import it" and just brought it because he was using it on his own. He obtained it legally, but in Australia it is not considered legal for muscle building, which is why he brought it in.

I read on this just a few days ago, the only reason I am pointing it out is because if I was offered millions to film three movies in a row that required the test levels of when I was 30 I may do this too (he did Rambo, Rocky 6 and then Expendibles)

I recall reading he said that it should be legal, and that in years time it probably would be widely accepted.

FWIW i guess some people can just have willpower over all else.
I really want to believe Sly is natty, because I really like the guy... one of the original rags to riches before the internet made things easier.

Because you can't like anyone that isn't natty???

Dude made a choice. Just because he chose something you didn't doesn't make him less of a person. I have many buddies who drink that koolaid. It's their choice to do so, just like it's your choice not to.

I don't understand how anyone can think less of someone because of a decision like that.

[hankst]

For me it's not the OJ that puts me off, that's everyone's own decision. It's only when they claim "natural", get hopes of lesser informed people up, and which then might end up spinning their wheels with retarded routines and overly aggressive diets. Like the one posted in here.
