Bulking for movie roles is common for actors. It often involves lots of <\/span>protein<\/span><\/a><\/span>, <\/span>calories<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>high-volume training<\/span><\/span><\/a>. With the release date for <\/span>The<\/span><\/i> Iron Claw<\/span><\/i> on the horizon, now\u2019s the perfect opportunity to delve into Zac Efron’s <\/span>diet<\/span><\/span><\/a> and <\/span>workout regimen<\/span><\/span><\/a> that helped him pack on mass for his role and possibly his biggest physique yet!<\/span><\/p>\n Zac Efron<\/span> is a name we\u2019ve known since the days of <\/span>High School Musical<\/span><\/i>. However, he shed the pretty boy persona for a shredded beach bum alongside <\/span>Dwayne Rock Johnson<\/span><\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Baywatch<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/a>. For that role, Zack Efron shared his challenges, including dealing with depression, a struggle that many <\/span>professional bodybuilders<\/span><\/a><\/span> can attest to when keeping their <\/span>body fat<\/span><\/span><\/a> and calories low. For that role, his goal was to cut and get as lean as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n In<\/span> Iron Claw<\/span><\/i>, he portrays a <\/span>pro wrestler<\/span><\/span><\/a>, and to achieve the right body, he works closely with fitness instructor Farren Morgan to bulk up. We\u2019ve been following this transformation since he shared this <\/span>physique update<\/span><\/span><\/a> last year so that we can bring you the full details. Let\u2019s look at what he did and how he achieved it below.<\/span><\/p>\n Zack Efron did a caloric surplus for this movie to add muscle to his frame. This involves eating more calories than you burn to gain weight. <\/span>However, bulking doesn\u2019t mean just eating anything; focusing on nutrients like protein to <\/span>promote muscle growth<\/span><\/span><\/a> is essential. In addition, you have to be careful with the foods and the calories you consume in proportion to your training regimen. Otherwise, you\u2019ll store fat when the goal is building muscle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For Zack Efron, the plan was to undergo <\/span>clean bulking<\/span><\/span><\/a> to avoid the side effects of eating just anything like <\/span>diabetes<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span>high blood pressure<\/span><\/a><\/span>, cholesterol, and unwanted fat. Bulking can also involve supplements like <\/span>creatine<\/span><\/span><\/a> to help fuel your muscles further.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Zac Efron (@zacefron)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nBulking\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n
