Hilary Swank looked pretty buff in the 2004 movie ‘Million Dollar Baby’. Playing a female boxer, she embarked on strenous workout routine 3 months before filming.
Three months prior to the star of filming for Million Dollar Baby, Hillary started boxing four to five days per week for an hour and a half a time.
According to her trainer Grant Roberts, Hillary trained with weights with ‘maximum intensity.’ According to Grant, Hillary couldn’t perform even half a chin-up when she started training but could crank out 10 unassisted full reps the day before filming began, and claimed she added “23lbs of muscle”.
23lb of muscle – in 3 months? Almost 2lbs of muscle a week? “If” that is true she must be genetically gifted like no other, and ‘assisted’.
