About this program
Ten-week program inspired by Christian Bale's documented mass-building transformation for Batman Begins (2005). Bale famously dropped to ~120 lbs for The Machinist, then trainer Mike Ryan rebuilt him for Batman — gaining ~100 lbs of mostly muscle in roughly six months via heavy compound lifts and aggressive eating. This program is inspired by that approach, not a literal recreation.
Four heavy days/week (push/pull/legs/upper) with strict press, weighted pull-ups, dips, squats, deadlifts, and rows. Mass-building rep ranges (5-12), progressive loading. Pair with a deliberate caloric surplus.
