For Darren Aronofsky’s new movie, The Wrestler, 52-year-old Mickey Rourke put on 33 lbs. of muscle to play a down-and-out former 1980′s wrestling superstar. For the role, Rourke spent seven months training everyday with an ex-Israeli cage fighter, stuffing his face with protein and occasionally making trips to the hospital for MRI’s. If this sounds like a small price to pay to look like a massive ’80′s grappler, you’re in luck, because Mickey Rourke gave us a step-by-step on what to do to get the physique of a TV wrestling God.
