What was Ed Norton on in American History X?

[DKH]

I know he started out with very little body fat, but the guy definately juiced before he made that movie. Anyone have any idea what type of cycle he took? Thanks.

 

[Dougly]

Hang on a second. I'll page him.

LOL

 

[The_Eviscerator]

This is a joke right? If you think that Ed Norton had to use steroids to get his physique for that movie, you seriously need to send all your shit to me and quit lifting.

 

[m0t03]

he was on the " anorexic diet " =-D

 

[Lift Chief]

Well norton did completely deflate after that movie so that could be a sign he used juice and then stopped lifting.

 

[HGH man--Chargeback]

I thought he was just on the "Honeymooners". A person learns something everyday!

 

[Pebcak]

I hear he used the same stuff that Brad Pitt used for "Fight Club". Gosh I wish I knew what that was.

not only does it suck, but it's been done before

 

[The Almighty]

I dont know why everyone always bashes people who ask this question...it is a honest mistake.

This is what Norton usually looks like, and what he looked like before American History X:

He went from that to his shape in American History X in only two months time:

 

[iamcdn]

he may have juiced (probably did seeing his results of only 2months work, and the fact he went back to being smaller than most ppl who never work out)

but consider this (and this i feel is why we will never know):
he has more money and resources than most people on this board . that means trainers, (drugs?), top quality food/sups etc.
also, he was being paid to get into shape

this thread has been done before, but it seems like no one ever answers it...maybe if there was an answer

either way, the guy is just looking for some advice and ideas, as well as making conversation

On how he gained 30 pounds for AHX

"Arnold Schwarzenegger called to ask if I'd done a cycle of the juice (steroids) to accomplish the transformation," admits Norton. "All I did was eat and work out non-stop for three months. I gained 30 pounds of muscle."

"a cycle of the juice" haha. Oh and if he really did gain 30 pounds of muscle in 3 months no way he did it naturally- that's bullshit.

 

[dzuljas]

i dont think he juiced to be honest. He wasnt that big, with some good training and diet you can easily look like that. Also remember he probably has the best personal trainers and nutritionists at his disposal.

How come he got so much smaller in the third pic standing next to Homer?

[Athernigy]

He definetely got bigger, but what a shame to lose it all after the movie. He was still tiny according to bodybuilding standards though, but got bigger for sure.

Dickless Wonder, I knew when I saw that you posted all it was going to be was some smart-ass response to me, LOL. Show some respect to your superiors.

Not another one!

I only checked the second page of this thread and I think you just about summed it up.........galaxy

 

[DKH]

i simply asked because he guy is a runt... always has been.. and always will be. Only for the brief time he made that film was he ever that big. I think a lot of you idiots forgot not everyone on this bored is aspiring to be a pro-body builder. I'd fuckin' puke if I woke up one morning and looked like ronnie c. or lee priest. So, for those of you who are shooting for it, or have accomplished that.. more power to you. Personally I'm not going for the size ed norton had in that movie, I was curious to how he put it on so quickly. I'm sure it was a simple bulking cycle, but people on here are too busy wasting thread space with smartass comments instead of just trying to answer the question. I just happen to see that movie again last night and was wondering. Have a great night.

NEWSFLASH!! Even in American History X, he was FAR FAR from "big". Watch it again. Most people, who knew their ass from a hole in the ground, would have a difficult time staying anywhere near that SMALL on a juice. It was a retarded, stupid question, that is why you're getting those answers. I don't think you're going wake up looking like Ronnie Coleman, don't worry.

okay, pay attention this time idiot. I'm not sayin he was huge, or even impressive by any means in that movie. The whole point was that he was BIGGER than HE usually is in EVERY movie he's been in. Also, he did it in 3 months time. Yes, people get bigger than that on juice......... BUT someone who is usually 160lbs will not be 190-200 with 9% bodyfat in about 3 months all natural. I don't care how much his queer hollywood trainer costs.

 

[Mo T 4 Me]

I also think he took something. You don't gain and lose that much muscle in a such small time frame when you naturally gain muscle. When you re not huge , you can keep your muscles even without training or eating well for a long time.

 

[Big Mac Attack]

Who gives a fuck what he was taking. If you think he was big/ripped you need to train for a few more years before thinking about drugs.

 

[Judo Tom]

when i started lifting i was 143 never had touched weights

3 months later i was 173 and ripped up

you always make your best gains naturally in the first 3- 6 months and when you are small it can come on real quick and really changes the way you look

i havent seen pictures of him say 2 months after the movie to see if he lost it all so not sure about that...

 

[Big Anaconda]

Ed Norton was never 190-200 pounds in AMX, where did that come from??? he was 180 tops. I have to admit though his tranformation was quite impressive, seeing as he appears to have the physique of a hard gainer. I think he used a bulking cycle.

 

[IronFist]

You are all fucking idiots.

I'm normally a nice guy but I wouldhave to agree with you there...

 

[needsize]

As much as this thread has been done before, all the useless flaming that accompanied it was a perfect example why so many of the vets have left elite and been replaced by kids

 

[Big Anaconda]

Need Size

Agreed it is these pointless idiots who flame and bring nothing constructive to the boards, these are indeed very sad people.

This is a stupid thread anyway you look at it...You gonna call ed norton and find out what he's on? this belong over on chat or not posted at all..

 

[MrRTTB]

Don't think he was on "gear". Might have used a ton of prohormones, the legal ones and hey might have helped him, who knows. But I think it has all with the diet, training and so on to do. If the guy never trained in his hole life and suddenly started to workout with a nice program and high carb/protein diet I think those gains would be possible. If you don't do anything else than just train, eat, eat, eat, eat, rest and rest some more then you will grow like crazy, no need for gear for a newbie in the gym.

 

[Frackal]

Lil Eddie may be a runt but all I know is he's been slipping the sausage to Salma Hayek for years so I give the dude mad props.

really? damn.....salma is hot as all hell....I actually like Ed norton as an actor...just think these threads are moronic...




*no one who is bigger than ed norton cares if he juiced or not...*

 

[rahul]

i can imagine it being done naturally in 3 months..

i've had friends, ectomorphs, who just ate and ate and ate (along with super calorie + shit loads of protien supplements) who showed similar gains (in looks, don't know about how much muscle mass exactly they gained)..


i hate ecto's
