Excellent article on the workouts, nutrition and training/trainers needed to muscle up for a super hero movie.

Keep in mind these actors are getting paid big bucks for these movies to go through these regimes and look they way they do(no beer guts or grandma wings allowed). They run risk from the exercises and supplements.
One point this article brought up was the use of fitness trainers which I never quite understood for many. I'm old school. You work out because you want to, have to and/or are motivated by the end result, maybe some socializing and adrenaline rushes. These things should also motivate you to learn on your own and/or simply ask questions.
Today I cannot believe the number of average joes who want a trainer with them for what should be routine workouts. Really, somebody has to scream at you, tell you what to do like a sheep, dog or child???. Yeh If you are going to make millions of dollars looking like a comic book character yes you might want to use a trainer. I can see a couple of sessions just to learn but the people who cannot or will not workout without people holding their hand amazes me. Along with those that cannot workout without "their" music and/or things in their ears while working out. It's for your benefit wether it's fitness or looks. Minus will bring up all those drinks and bars used right before and during the workout for "energy". Creatures of expensive, stupid habits which put them one step above a junky on crack.
I must be a dinosaur and not just an old fart because I remember a day when the only food or drink allowed in a gym was a water fountain and if nobody brought a radio or had a different channel on you still worked out. Now today's gym rats are high maintenance debutantes with a severe case of narcissism.

for enough years, I can still do 33 full body push ups despite having recently turned 60.
