shareYeah, it couldn't possibly be that they make capt. America look bigger.

Yes, as mentioned before- there's a muscle skin suit underneath the regular Capt American suit- and in the shirtless scenes- they'll have him workout right before shooting. If you have a marginal amount of muscle mass- it'll look much better after 100 push ups.
shareNo, he's usually walks around 185lb of muscle. When he plays Capt., he gains about 40 lbs for the role. There's no layer of suit or anything like that or CGI. Just look at Bradley Cooper in American Sniper, he went from a slender 180 to 240 bulky. Same with Bale in Batman, same with Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth, Huge Jackman. When you're paid that much money, hitting the gym for a role is a no brainer.

You can tell that the suit- is thick. It's meant to add a little size to it.
But I wasn't even talking about that, really. (the guy before me was) I was just saying in the shirtless scenes, he does push ups to give him added size.

CGI and muscle suits? come on, people. i get what the OP is saying. he did this film sandwiched in-between all the superhero movies he's doing. he's actually really built for those movies. it's possible to pack on significant pounds of muscle in short periods of time with the right regimen and diet. but how did he shed all that muscle before this movie? was it on purpose? even if you stop going to the gym for a few months, it seems like you would still retain a good portion of your size for a while. here, he looked about half the size of Captain America; significantly smaller arms, much shorter shoulder width, etc. it's just surprising how much smaller he could get in such a short period of time. like he suddenly developed cancer or AIDS.
sharehe must have been on the charlie sheen diet
shareYou'll be surprise how fast these actors can shed weight. Some people would lose their size fast, I put on 20 pounds of muscle and lost it in a matter of 2 months when I was busy working. He probably doesn't eat crappy food and has a fast metabolism and also lazy to hit the gym to keep that bulk in his busy life.
Truthfully, I don't even think you workout. You would know that some people will lose their mass quickly, especially if they don't eat like slob and stop lifting weights. And a lot of that size he had was water weight. Once you stop taking your supplements like creatine, you would deflate like a balloon because it stores water in your muscles to give you that bulky look.
Don't get hurt kid. I'm not your daddy, I'll beat you senseless.
