The connection between the entertainment world and the world of fitness is ever-lively. Time and again, it is seen that bodybuilders often go into the entertainment industry and get accepted with both hands. Similarly, many actors from Hollywood are motivated to build a physique like the bodybuilders to grab more attention from the fans and reach higher aesthetic merits in the movies. And who better than Sylvester Stallone could have shown the world how it is done?

Known for his famous role as Rocky Balboa, Stallone has won millions of hearts. Even decades after the release of the movie, his physique is often talked about. However, a bodybuilder had some criticisms regarding Stallone’s exercises in his role as Rocky Balboa.

Sylvester Stallone’s struggle in Rocky Balboa

In a video posted a few years ago, bodybuilder Julian Smith picked a few movie scenes and decoded the weightlifting instances in them. The first movie to make his list was “Rocky Balboa”. While discussing it, he pointed out how Stallone had been struggling with a few things, which was also quite usual, keeping in mind the training that required for the movie was precisely different. He stated, “He’s struggling with the overhead press. He’s struggling with the roads. He’s struggling with all the kettlebell movements, you know.”

Furthermore, Julian Smith also commented that certain movements although required bodybuilding foundations, a part of it did not seem genuine to him. He remarked, “That looked a little fake to me, to be completely honest,” as he focused on a sledge-hitting scene where Stallone slowed down right before the impact of the hit.
