Juicing or not: An analysis of Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5

Ill say this right now, Resident Evil 5 is not my favorite in the series, but its a solid 3rd place. The fact of the matter is that the character of Chris Redfield went though a massive transformation between some unknown point to the events in the 5th game. If youve been living under a rock for the past year, you know that Chris was a twig, skinny, not at all the massive boulder punching son of a bitch he is in 5.
You look at him then, you just see cop, but...

Bam, he's huge, i mean, he could take on anyone who he comes into contact with. I will say that his RE5 model is my favorite of the series. Its simple and practical. The real reason why i believe that so many thought he took the juice is the size of him, while i believe its something else. While at a book store, i was looking though the art book of RE5, and i came across the section on Redfield. It went into good detail about his attire in this game. Its a skin tight shirt, like a bike shirt or compression shirt. Its made to form fit to your body giving as little restriction as possible. Prior to this, he wore police to military uniforms. So if the shirt was flappy, wouldnt you not see his massive arms? Even so, in the book it said he was preparing for his inevitable fight with game antagonist, Albert Wesker.

SO WOULDNT YOU THINK HE WOULD SPEND HOURS AT THE GYM JUST TO GET THAT KIND OF DEFINITION?

But i dont know. Either he was working out many times or he had some help. Maybe he went to some monk who helped him get into amazing shape like that. when i think about that scenario, i think of this or this hell even this.

Once again, i must say, this guy is larger than anyone, and it was a fitting set up for him to face the Hulk in the MvC3 trailer.

To me, i dont like hearing everyone say he was taking steroids, to me, i like to just say he did some major working out. I mean for the love of god, dont you think in a short time even you can have arms that can punch though boulders? I like to think so.

Yes i know hes a video game character, dont you care about video game characters too?! I rest my case.

Lets look at something else here, EXAMPLE: Jack Lalanne (figure 3.1). The Dude has been doing what he does best right up to the day he died, he kept fit and healthy and lived to the ripe old age of 96. How did he do this? HE EXERCISED! HE ATE RIGHT! Dont you think Redfield did the same to get those guns? I think so.

So folks, its unfair to say that Chris Redfield is on the juice, he trained for a good while before he had the body he had in RE5. Moral of the story here: Never feed a Mogwai after midnight.

As always:
