Vin Diesel’s Workout
Do you happen to know how Vin Diesel’s workout looks like? I’ve been lifting weights for 1 year with good results. [...] I’m going for his physique and my brother told me Vin gained like 20 pounds fast for The Fast and the Furious movie. [...] What roids did he use? Thanks! Steve. – - via Ask Questions
Vin Diesel’s workout is mostly based on free weights and basic, compound movements – more on that a little later. Let’s talk about “roids” first.
Vin Diesel had a great physique before he was an actor. He used to be a bouncer and that is when he started to workout, which was a while ago. What makes you think he was using anabolic steroids?
True, there was a rumor about that, but as far as I know, it is false. Even if he did, anabolic steroids are illegal! If you think they are a shortcut to muscle mass, you are mistaken. There are no shortcuts, unless you are genetically gifted.
Even if you are genetically blessed, it still takes a lot of hard work and dedication to build great physique. If you are trying to gain mass, the best “roids” are protein, vegetables and fruits. As for Vin Diesel’s workout, I do not have his detail workout routine.
However, it is known that he prefers free weights and moderate cardio exercises. It has been reported in the media, that Vin Diesel’s workout is catered around his movie roles – he trained with UFC and Brazilian Jujitsu athletes and was not shy to attend yoga and Pilates classes.
He is an actor, so his training goals are likely to be different from yours. Continue what you are already doing. It seems to be working for you, so stick with it. If your goal is to gain muscle mass, pay attention to your nutrition, use productive exercises, and make sure that you eat at least 500 calories above your maintains.

That rumor is not true , cuz if he uses anabolic steroids it’ll be too obvious and changing too , but his body is fixed and perfectly natural .

We’ll never know if he takes steroids or not. You can’t always tell by looking and someone.
And so what if it is against the law – Ronnie Coleman is a police officer but he still took steroids to win MR.Universe. So did Arnold and many more. Not everyone who takes steroids is that big though. You’d be suprised at the amount of people who use steroids and you wouldn’t even know.
As for fruit, veg and protein being the best “roids” – I’d say it’s down to eating a lot of whole natural food in general. Steroids are NOT a wise option for anyone and building muscle is down to consistency and a lot of hard work but steroids DO speed up the rate at which one increases muscle mass by a LOT.
One man could have the testosterone of 10 men by injecting it so of course it’s going to make a big difference. But there is a price to pay, the affect it has on health.

Vin diesel did take steriods… He is a cool guy but are you serious ? Go to youtube and search Vin Diesel Breakdancing. He use to be a skinny twig. Now he is huge. Therefore he must of taking steriods because it seems nearly impossible to me to get those kind of results.
K thanks-

Dear Anonymous,
A person transforming from having a ’skinny’ figure to that of Vin Diesel is not impossible man! You don’t have to take steroids to develop a body like Vin’s, and it is obvious he didn’t change his body overnight like A10 said.
I used to be skinny 5 months ago, but a workout regimen of only PUSHUPS and ab exercises has people wondering if I have been taking steroids!
You also must understand the human body, it bulks more or burns less -whichever you prefer- as you age!

That Vin Diesel breakdancing video was like 25 years ago man! He was probably on 18yrs old at the oldest! Now he’s in his early 40’s. ANYONE can amass enough weight over that many years. It’s called going from being a BOY to a MAN!! The fact is your physique even if you just lay on your A… all day changes from 18 to 20’s, 30’s & beyond.
So to say he was on steroids because of that just goes to show how young some posters are. Some people are posting on here who’s balls haven’t even dropped yet!

u cant say vin is on roids juse because he used to be skinny..i cant say 100% that his not on roids…but my opinion is that he is all genetics…he doesnt have any visible side affects of roids..acne,strech marks,bad water retention etc..
as for the comment “He use to be a skinny twig. Now he is huge” – anymous
mate im just turned 18…im weighin in at 90kg and at 188cm…not even 1 year ago i was 70kg and 188cm….i put on 11kg of lean muscle in 3months and then from there male hormones just kicked in and kgs just started to pack on..does that mean im on roids??..NOO..its just hormones and hard training lol..vin diesel is all natural and his pysique is 10/10..all it takes is a propper diet and workout routine..

cheers

Vin on roids?? – I dunno – but I can say that I used to be a skinny twig as well but now I could pretty much be his body double. My arms are about the same size but I would say I have a little more in the chest and legs … and yes; all without “enhancing substances”. I am now 29 and have been in the gym for about ten years now. The “secret” (there really is no secret to it though) is proper workouts and eating enough of the right kind of foods. Notice I said enough – to get good gains, you have to eat a lot. I am 6′1″ and around 225. I will say this though – no matter how much harder I try, I cant seem to really gain anymore than what I have now – my body seems to have reached its limit as to what it will give me naturally. Go to the gym and you will spot the roid users with no problem – they have acne all over and they always have the “alcohol flush” in their faces like they just came out of the bar at 3 am. Besides, experience has taught me that these middle aged guys I see in the gym that are built like mountain gorillas did NOT get that way naturally.

Yeah same here when I was 17 I was at 150lbs and now I’m 205 after two years of working out hes still a more defined than me but I still have way more until my body reaches its limit. He is obviously not on steroids or he would be huge.

I used to work like a security-guard at the belgian airport, mostly in the vip-lodge. Its a huge difference when you see action moviestars like Stallone, Vandamme or Snipes when they have to be in shape for a new movie. Even Travolta when he has some action scenes in a new movie has to lose his belly fat. Just look on youtube ” Stallone 62-years old “, on that clip he has a body of a 30 years-old guy and he even has tatoo’s now !!! But all those actors, I saw them “off-season” then they are all maybe 50 % of there size in the movie.

He admitted to using anabolic steroids. He does not do it anymore but he used to.
