Exercise Scientist Critiques Ben Affleck's Hollywood Workout For Batman

those suits are no joke. the 90s batman suit weighed something like 90 lbs....

Magnus forgot the "take the juice" part of his workout 😂

I’m positive this crap is just for photo and video shoots. They don’t for real train this way or they wouldn’t get any gains even if juiced to the gills

honestly I do not think Ben Affleck looked very good for his roles as Batman. He looked basically out of shape during some of the reshoots in particular. Guess this is why huh

The number one ingredient in celebrity transformation is steroids, not personal trainers.

The kung fu squat obviously helps with mobility, cmon bruh. And the "fancy looking" core exercise you said is easy; try it yourself and tell me its easy. I respect you a lot, but you seem somewhat too close minded sometimes, dont let your knowledge get in the way of trying new things. And in a way, isnt science always gonna be 1 step behind reality? Science is only gonna prove what someone else already has basically "figured out". I know this probably sounds like mumbo jumbo but whatever.

Also, that batman suit is probably not that light, even if its like 20lbs, wearing it for extended periods of time doing athletic movements should take a toll on you. And you dont want the actor to look tired either right? So between all the different cuts and scenes id imagine it could get tiring. Especially if your not that strong to begin with.

Holy fuck I’m 2 mins into this and I can’t stop laughing. Actually LOLing. It’s amazing how this is painfully hilarious, but also extremely informative. How have I not found this channel sooner!? SUBBED

There’s no way Ben affleck did this shit 😂

A 2 year old kicks harder than that

Stop! Anything you do beyond sitting on the couch is beneficial. Get after it! Never stop stopping

Where do I buy the vest Dr Mike? Not the one you are wearing (if it’s for sale I’m in) but one that fits me?

Mike's scandinavian accent sounds extremely finnish and only kind of swedish

All I saw was a warmup for the most part including a single move from a wushu basic form and a cardio kickboxing move. I feel these Hollywood workout videos throw trash together, not a real truthful workout.

He forgot to mention what kind of drug he took to be that size, because was not his training

TBH I was convinced the kung-fu lunge thing was good and would help open hips and help spine mobility 🤣🤣🤣 never actually did it but I thought it looked good!

The bat suit can weigh around 40 lbs. Very awkward weight as well.

Do you feel like Ben Affleck has really weird posture now and little legs ever since these Batman movies?

Michael Keaton wasn’t jacked, and his prop suit looked great

Affleck training =drugs 🤣🤣🤣

How do these guys get so big doing these bs workouts

why is he so jacked if the training is terrible tho?

Great video thanks🔥

Imagine if Ben Afleck actually trained properly ...

So when a person being trained by this guy would say that they're getting weirdly fatiqued in the arms from doing squats, would Magnus then tell them "Well then you're doing it wrong"? Or would he notice that it's a silly thing to do?

Those abs were 100% cgi

Tren Affleck.

Not bad for an under average body in benifer

I bet Iceland gyms kicked him out so he had to improvise

Ben Afleck playing Batman is the first flaw.

Exercise science are you kidding me back squats are not natural your body is not made to do that what s fool

I have done the entire Batman program with magnes and the only thing he showed in this video that’s actually in his program is the dumbell squat lol

I actually had this workout in my routine for a while...and the hollow rocks helped my bulged disk, strained spinal ligament problem in terms of being good to do when it was erupting

The Batman suit has all the muscle u need.

Thumbnail looks gyno?

The suit weighed nearly 60 pounds. And the actors are wearing that for about 10+ hours a day

Idk a dumbbell in front is wayyy more comfortable than a barbell

The "Batcave- Workout" in the movie looked way more legit than this sh..t...😂😂😂

...I feel like the training scene in the movie was more effective than this

"he looks profoundly European" hahahahaha

Binging these, love it - also spot on Greta Thunberg impression lmao

So you're all about BULK and strength but that is YOUR philosophy to living not functional strength and everyday greater liveability and you just want to promote jacked up muscles and bulk so how does that help the regular person? You are a full ego motivated lifter and that is NOT what i'm about.....im all about all around health and fitness and you are an ego lifter.

Can you do a muscular endurance video?

Love how this dude is so hairy, just not on his head 😅

This is why they used CGI abs on Affleck…

I love you Buff Frasier. You've saved the fitness industry

I think some trainers also care about mobility, not just big muscles.
You'd be at a disadvantage as a martial artist or athlete if you had a body builder physique.
Easy to forget the muscles are meant to perform an action, so combining some strength training with an action like kicking or kung fu punch might improve mobility. Most bodybuilders are very stiff. Look at mma fighters, there are people just sparring that kick the crap out of fighters with large muscles.
