Commenters question feasibility of rapid muscle gain

A reddit commenter pushed back on the reported transformation, arguing that gaining 20 pounds of pure muscle in a short span is physically implausible even with performance-enhancing drugs, suggesting most of the gain is water or fat.
“physically is not possible to put 20 lbs of muscle in that short amount of time even on gear. maybe a 10-12 month period but at his age he probably put on 5-10 lbs and rest is water/fat.”

That's the thing he isn't just being the muscle guy here, anyone who has played the norse series knows playing kratos is gonna bring out lots of depth from him as an actor. This is a win win for him.

Not an unfair point, but young men have been increasingly using test despite Hollywood swearing it's natural. Maybe if they tried the "this isn't healthy to emulate for long term" messaging.

A torn bicep sets you pretty far back. Up to 6 months recovery and then you have to get the muscle back which will take a decent amount of time too.

I can verify this. I have gained 20 pounds in preparation for watching God of War.
