The Secret Behind Dave Bautista’s Unbelievable Transformation

Introduction what is up it's your boy Johnny shrie ifbb Pro and Mr T like it is what happens when one of Hollywood's biggest stars shrinks well guys today I'm going to cover the shocking transformation of Dave Batista I'm going to go over why he made the change how he made the change and how long did it take him to make that change how you can do the exact same thing for yourself let's dive into it I am not only a string coach transformation coach an IB professional bodybuilder I'm actually an actor I've Dave Bautista's Background and Motivation done two feature films and now I'm the second season of The trades that we start filming this fall so I got some into the game give you guys a really good close look on how this is actually possible Dave Batista 55 years old wrestler actor went from 320 lb to 240 lb that's a 80 lb drop which is actually crazy well why would he do this just like myself because I can really relate to this entire story number one for health I don't care if you're 300 lb of muscle or 300 lb of fat being 300 lb is not healthy I'm pretty sure if you do The Health Implications of Being 300+ lbs some stats to see how many people make it past 70 years old at 300 lb I'm pretty sure the number gets less and less and less and less and I can tell you this because I know for experience because my uncle Abdul the butcher is a professional WWE Hall of Fame wrestler retired obviously but watching him now in the later part of his life in a wheelchair hard to walk because of all the brutality in the sport fact that he was 300 lb is just not healthy two he wants more roles he getting tight casted Expanding Acting Roles for all the roles that require him to be obviously an action star but a big action star every single movie that he has been in he has been the big dude the the action star Drax from guardan of the Galaxy to character on Dune cabin of the woods he's got to be this Larger than Life character and when it comes to production they're going to want that character to fit their vision for their movie and he's at the point now it's like you know what I want to be in other movies he actually wants to be in some romcoms and just like same thing for me if I want to get more roles I have to get smaller so when you see other channels they're like oh well you know they got to get up to x amount of weight they have to you know take a bunch of steroids so they end up being what production wants them to be that's actually a load of crap the reason why guys like the Rock and Dave Batista are able to go into Hollywood and make it in a sense in the roles they have as big as they are is because they're already big stars in the WWE they're going from a big star in WWE to helping sell tickets in the box office but when it comes to action Stars Arnold Schwarzenegger had to lose a bunch of weight to play Terminator stesa Sloan same thing put it this way Hugh Jackman is 6'3 180 lbs Chris Hemsworth is close to 6 foot he was only about 190 lb so is Chris Evans like these these characters who are playing these big roles and action flicks aren't required to take a bunch of steroids to get larger than life like I said these guys are already coming from being Larger than Life and they Hollywood Expectations and Weight Requirements just fit the role based on the producers or Productions need or Vision so when it comes to them playing these roles there's no need for him to be 320 lb he can play any action role at 240 lb that's still massive enough and now because of his size and the transformation he made and I'm looking that much better Slimmer he can play other roles and looking at right now you're like look I can't believe how small he is is he sick dude he's 240 lb 6' four that's still a large ass man so when it comes to reasonings Health more roles and just overall feeling better he even says how much better he feels and I can say the same thing for myself when I was 270 lb to 265 lb 255 lb 240 lb 225 lb to now 210 lb I feel the best I've ever felt when it comes to roles that I'm getting behind the scenes I'm getting casting calls I'm getting casting calls for roles that aren't just typ cast it as the villain the monster the big dude the whatever it is so when it comes down to this is an absolutely amazing move Timeline of Bautista's Transformation people really don't understand how long these things actually take to happen it takes around 1 and a half to 3 years for an entire movie from pre-production to when it goes out into the theater one in 3 years the movie where he had to had to put on the most amount of weight was knock at the cabin he was 300 in 20 lb for that movie that movie came out in 2023 so the movie itself was wrapped up basically they finished rapping production in June of 2022 which means somewhere along lines when guarden of the Galaxy was was put on in 2022 he just finished wrapping up for that movie put on the weight to be in the knock of the cabin but still was able to keep that weight for movies like Garden of the Galaxy Dune 2 production started July 22nd which means that he was already as big as he need to be for that production and then when that's done now he starts to start losing weight now when does that actually happen that weight loss Journey happens about a year from where we where we are today the movie that he's in right now that we're seeing the big huge like oh my god look how small he you looks wow it's crazy the Killer game started their production in 2023 that means right after he was finished cabin the woods he started losing his weight which would been 2023 so 2020 end of 2022 2023 it takes him a year to lose 80 lb and you're like 80 lb that's crazy can you do that in a year if if you lost a pound of fat a week consistently for 52 weeks you lose 50ish lb Dave Batista At His Highest was around 3 120ish lb so if he's 320 lb around maintenance for him would be Caloric Deficit and Weight Loss Strategy around 4,800 calories and I would assume that he's probably not just eating at maintenance because again he had to eat up to getting to 320 lb so I would say let's just round it up and say he was eating around 5,000 to 5,500 calories for him to lose a pound of fat a week for a year he would just have to be in a 500 calorie deficit now it comes down to the entire transformation well just being in a calor deficit isn't going to do it when you got to lose all of that muscles well too remind you guys he's 320 lbs of muscle and fat when he was playing knock in the cabin he was a big ass dude if you check out his face he looks plump very round face very bloated now you're probably thinking like how' he get up to that wait what is he doing he's not on bodybuilding dosages or Cycles there's no reason to be on a bunch of different steroids now how do I know this well because I've talked to some WD wrestlers and they give me some good Insight we're talking Deca and that's prescribed by a doctor and that's going to help with your joints and muscle gain testosterone 100% growth hormone those are the three things that these guys need to get the size they are the 6'4 he was already a big guy these are genetically gifted freaks I would assume that they're obviously genetically gifted they're hyper responders they're super athletic so when it comes to him losing all of that muscle it's going to be a lot more than just being in a 500 calorie deficit so this is what I definitely speculate that he did his transformation took about a year to lose 80 lb how do you lose 80 lbs well I know how to do that because I've lost 50 some odd pounds in the last 3 years it wasn't necessarily that hard to be honest now to do it in a year to lose all of muscle as well too your guy be work a little harder now here's what some things that he said he has done and what I can definitely speculate he has done as well too number one being in a deficit now he's going to be in more than a 500 calor deficit he's going to be more so in like cutting it down toste like you know 4500 calories cardio on Reducing Steroid Use for Muscle Loss top of that doing a lot more functional training aerobics in terms of like running jogging all those things to help lose muscle and the obvious reducing all of the steroids that he was doing if he's going to come off well he's not going to come completely off because that would be actually ridiculous he's just going down to a basic trt dose let's just specula and say he was doing 600 milligram of of deca and about 1,000 milligram of testosterone if it's real GH seven IUS plus and trimming that all the way down to I would assume is probably doing around 100 milligrams of deca and around 150 milligrams of testosterone to keep his overall Bloods at a good healthy level and doing that will help reduce the muscle on his body because again when we get older ionis don't want to carry unnecessary amounts of weight and muscle we've already talked about the sacpa happening to us when we get in our 30s and 30s plus hormone reduces ability to hold protein reduces all those things reduce when you're combining that with super physiological amounts of T of steroids and then reducing that well it's going to speed up the process of losing muscle losing fat Etc so now we're down there what do we do to kind of maintain that well he's probably eating around like 36 100 calories to keep his weight where it is in the grand scheme of things we have a reduction in overall steroid use to a trt dose of deca and testosterone a chloric deficit of I would say about 1,000 calories to start this entire process along with more cardio more Maintaining the New Physique Mobility just more moving in general reducing your overall protein to help lose all that weight and then staying there to maintain the look that he has right now now he guys mentioned that it was pretty brutal getting it off and I would assume it is too because again that's 80 lb is 80 lb in a year isn't that long especially when we're talking about muscle one thing about like losing fat and losing Fat's Fair easy compared to losing muscle right you have to really try to lose muscle especially someone who's been carrying it as long as Dave Batista so to summarize things we have a 320 lb B Dave Batista that takes him a year to lose 80 lbs for more rolls to open up to not be as tight cast as he is to be overall just healthy reducing steroid amounts his calories his protein to get down to a healthier overall weight how do you guys do that well when it comes down to just like losing weight you can do the same thing he did I'm not saying you guys watching around the amount of steroids but when How You Can Achieve a Similar Transformation it comes down to getting to the place you want to be physically losing fat gaining muscle Etc doing something similar to this isn't that far off what it's going to take if you to lose weight is to be in a chloric deficit when it comes to chloric deficit it doesn't mean that you chop half your calories away I would start with just look to see what you're actually doing if we're not moving that much then we want to start actually moving start moving first and then just start cutting out some of the obvious junk that you don't need to eat at all once that thing's out and you're moving for a bit after a few weeks already now we start to implement a little more nutritional habits making sure we're getting enough water and making sure we're eating enough protein 100 Gams of protein per body weight make sure eat enough calories even though you're in a deficit we still need to eat enough calories for our body to go through the process to lose a f you want and sustain the muscle that you have or even keep muscle or even add muscle now when it comes to being in a deficit you only need to be in around like 250 calor deficit to start then we can kind of bump it up to 500 calories we also want to make sure we avoid trying to just drop a bunch of calor to get to the place where Dave is we can't do that we don't want to do that he didn't even do that we want to slowly gradually take away calories but still make sure that we don't go lower than like 10 times our body weight in calories lower than that means we can't give our body enough proper macronutrients for our body to run the way it should even if you're going to be in extreme deficit we want to make sure we cover all things that we can eat one1 grams of protein for body weight we want to make sure that we're eating around 20 to 30% of our fats from our entire chloric intake and then filling the rest of that with carbs doing that over time and then basically balancing out doing more activity in terms of cardio and training once you're there and you got to your desired weight then we start to kind of work ourself backwards so if you had to reduce 100 calories to get down to 240 lbs we're going to slowly increase our calories about 100 calories every week to every other week just to watch your body make sure we're not spiking up let's say you had to do an hour cardio every day to to get down to 240 lbs including your deficit we're going to go from that that hour cardio and we're going to reduce it maybe to 45 minutes but we're still going to keep around 30 minutes of cardio at least in Final Thoughts and Viewer Engagement our everyday life because that's just overall going to keep you healthy that's all we got to do I think that this transformation with Dave batist was absolutely amazing here's a question for you do you think that he's going to keep this size or do you think he's going to eventually have to bump his way back up for maybe the next rooll that he gets let me know in the
