Is Chris Hemsworth on Steroids? (Revealed)

When my clients initially begin exercising, almost any form of training will result in strength and the build-up of lean muscle gains.

However, the early, rapid pace of "newbie gains" will slow once their body adjusts.

In order to continue making improvements, you must modify your workouts so as to gain muscle twice as much; this is known as progressive overload [2].

In addition, everyone ultimately experiences a plateau. If you continue doing what you're doing, you'll reach a point where you can no longer change, based on research published in Healthline [3].

That’s why professional bodybuilders increase weight over time which is one of the ways to achieve an athletic body. It is a straightforward approach to gradually overload.

So, if you find that you can no longer add weight and aren't seeing improvements, maybe it's time to play with volume or the total number of sets and reps you perform in a workout.

I advise my clients to try doing the opposite of what they've been doing. Change to a lighter weight and more repetitions if you've been using heavy lifts.

Realistic Muscle Gains

Another critical point is that Hemsworth wouldn't have put on only 20 pounds of muscle if he'd taken performance-enhancing drugs.

With a diet composed of the best muscle-building foods, training, recovery, and good sleep, an average person can add 1–2 lbs of lean muscle mass per month.

On the other hand, steroid users can gain 30–50 pounds a month and thus become swole. However, he was already jacked. So, he was undoubtedly naturally gifted with genetics as well and destined to play Thor.

We must admit that getting results like that without using steroids is not unheard of for a newbie weightlifter.

Many of my clients experience this. However, the phase typically lasts for 6–12 months.

Hemsworth stated that he began weightlifting and bodybuilding for Thor.

It is, therefore, evident that his change was the outcome of newbie gains.

So while it's true that he probably isn't gaining muscle growth at the same rate as when he first started working out, it's entirely possible that his hard work and dedication are paying off and allowing him to maintain his impressive physique.

Additionally, gym-goers usually compare Hemsworth's appearances in certain movies and use that as evidence that he is taking steroids. Chris had to lose a considerable portion of his Thor mass for the movie "Rush".

Fitness expert Derek from "More Plates More Dates" thinks that the fact that Chris mentioned how challenging it was to shed muscle mass for the part was seen as a warning sign and proof that he was taking steroids while filming this movie.

On the same line, according to many people in the fitness industry, the majority cannot maintain their current level of body fat while gaining, losing, gaining, and losing back and forth 20 lbs of lean tissue.

They believe that the degree to which Chris changes between characters and between his Thor performances is highly suggestive of exogenous hormone use.

No, Chris Hemsworth was never tested for steroid use. Unlike some other Hollywood A-listers who have been caught red-handed with steroids in their possession, there is no smoking gun when it comes to Hemsworth.

In any case, in the circles I’ve moved in, transparency is a gem. Chris Hemsworth’s openness about his workout and diet mirrors my own journey, where every rep, every meal is a testament to our commitment to natural bodybuilding.

He has said that he trains for about 2 hours per day, five days per week, so it's clear that he puts in a lot of effort to maintain his impressive physique.
