To all the folks saying this was steroids... sorry, no. There are telltale signs when a guy uses roids, and he doesnt have any of them. He clearly worked out like crazy for months, but probably had a good foundation to start with.

Having said that, how come there's no photos of *him* in a skimpy bathing suit? Huh, HP??

Ur so wrong its not even funny. Its called Chicken. I havent done roids one day of my life and im close to his size - curl 60lbs on each arm for ten reps easy. Food Food Food, the best way to get big.

This comment makes me giggle. You are clearly nowhere near Hemsworth's size, not even in your fondest dreams hero. And it's also readily apparent that you're talking out of your ass and have no clue what you're talking about. The type of weight gain Hemsworth acheived is very nearly only possible through anabolics. It doesn't mean he didn't work his ass of in the gym and eat as he should, but it's highly unlikely for that type of gain to be seen in such a short period. So please refrain from sharing your opinion again, as you have proven quite simply how irrelevant it is.

It's so funny. he does not mention that he is being paid millions of dollars to do nothing for months EXCEPT get into shape. he has a studio paid army of trainiers and nutritionists helping him every step of the way.

Laying like a couch potato = no results

Lying like a rug = massive bovine growth

Much more bovine growth hormone and he's going to grow horns and a tail.

It's easy to bulk up when working out is your full-time job, even if just for a few months.

Easier but not so easy.

I agree. He really added some muscle. If he did that naturally, it is one of the best transformations I have seen.

You want the long form or the short form?

I've been working out naturally for 15 years. There is only one way to get that big and ripped so quickly...steroids or HGH.

David Hasselhoff has been very honest about his abuse of roids in his career.

It would be nice if other people in the entertainment world would be honest enough to come forward about it.

That stuff is nasty and is going to adversely affect a lot of actors as they get older.

If the Hoff took steroids, he should get a refund. Even at his best, he never looked better than average.

Rumor has it that what you gain in muscles you lose.... elsewhere. Hung like a silverback gorilla is not a compliment, if you know what I mean.
