Want to look like Rimbaud? Then carefully study Stallone's workouts to become the owner of the same physique. Today we will talk about how Sylvester Stallone's training was organized, but first, let's say a few words about the biography of this man. Stallone was born in 1946 in New York City. After school he entered the Academy of Dramatic Art, located in Miami.
The first big success in cinema fell to the actor's share after the release of the film "Rocky". Then came Rambo, which brought Stallone not only big money, but also worldwide fame. There were other good films in the actor's career, for example, "Oscar" or "Cobra". Today Sylvester works a lot on scripts for new films, and his innermost dream is to stage a ballet.
Sylvester Stallone training
Over the course of his career, Stallone has tried a huge number of training techniques and nutrition programs. From the filming of Rocky to the release of The Expendables, the actor has always been in great shape. Sylvester's figure changed throughout his career, his weight also changed, but his appearance was invariably muscular and dry.
For the first time, you can notice the changes in the figure of the artist in the movie "Flight to Victory". To fit the image of a prisoner of war, Stallone was forced to practically starve. You can draw conclusions about its nutrition yourself, knowing that the energy value of the diet in those days was only 200 calories. As a result, the actor's body weight was a little over 70 kilos.
But this turned out to be not the limit, and during the preparation for the filming of the third part of "Rocky", Stallone weighed a record low - 70 kilos. His daily diet consisted of only a dozen egg whites, a piece of fruit and toast. It should be noted that the training process of the actor was even more stringent. Every morning, he jogged a three-kilometer distance, spent 18 rounds of sparring, trained for two hours in the gym, and finished it all with a new run.
The training was no less severe in preparation for the film "Rocky 4". While working on one of the scenes, the actor received a bruised heart muscle and was able to return to the set only ten days later. Using Stallone as an example, we can safely say that it is never too late to start training. While working on the first film in the "Rocky" series, Slay was already thirty years old, and it took him a couple of years to make his figure beautiful and respected all over the world. In preparation for the film "Rocky 2" Stallone turned to Franco Colombo for help. Of course, these services were valued at a very decent amount, and Sly worked out every cent invested in the class. He practiced twice a day for six days. Franco himself said that he absolutely did not have to tune Sly to work. According to him, Stallone was so determined that the two-time Olympia winner himself is surprised by this zeal.
At the beginning of the filming of the film, Sly's weight was 77 kilos, but this seemed to him not enough and the actor was able to gain five kilos for six weeks. At the same time, only muscle mass was recruited, and the percentage of body fat was no more than five percent. Franco Colombo offered Slay the following split program. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning workouts included work on your back, chest, and abs. Evening classes on the same days were intended to train the press, muscles of the shoulder girdle and arms. On the rest of the week (Sunday was a day off) in the morning, Stallone worked on the lower leg and thighs, and in the evening - the trapezium, the back of the deltas and abdominal muscles.
As you can see, Sly was very active in training his abdominal muscles, performing five hundred repetitions in each lesson! Columbo is sure that if Sly had chosen a career as a bodybuilder, and not an actor, he would have been able to achieve high results in this field.
Nutrition during training Sylvester Stallone
To achieve a positive result without proper nutrition, no workout would help Sylvester Stallone. According to Stallone himself, every morning he begins with the use of a portion of amines. A quarter of an hour after that, Sylvester has breakfast with quick-digesting foods like 2 eggs, 4 figs and wholemeal toast.
Then the training begins. For ten minutes, the actor actively stretches the muscles, then arm training continues for 45 minutes. There are 25 minutes left for the delta. The morning session ends with pumping the press.
For lunch, Sly uses salad, fried chicken, fruit and lightly fried zucchini. For dinner again, salad, fried fish, spinach and toasts of their black bread. Stallone also uses veal in addition to chicken meat. It is important for him that the meat has a minimum amount of fat. Sly himself claims that at one time his program was so perfect that after eating a hot dog, stomach cramps began.
