He looks a little more muscular than he did in Transformers, but to be honest it looks more from just growing up a year and physically maturing than from working out.
I just watched Firewall yesterday. Harrison is clearly in better shape in Crystal Skull. Those 6 months dieting and training paid off.

I think I remember reading on Wikipedia* that Shia had to lose something like 10lbs, then gain 18lbs in muscle for the role of Mutt. He certainly looks trimmer to me, and his biceps are larger than they were in Disturbia. (Not that I notice that kind of thing.)
Supposedly Harrison hit the gym for 3 hours every day in preparation for the film, and ate a high protein diet of lean fish and poultry.
*AKA the most reliable source of information on the web.
Oh-ho! Six months, was it? Wow. He looks a lot better than he did in Firewall, but you'd think there might a bit more than that for six months. But it's not like Ford was ever out of shape, really. He still had an awesome bod in What Lies Beneath.

He does look bigger, but again, it looks more like its related to growing up than from working out.
All the experts say you should limit your workout to one hour max, since you're cortisol levels (a catabolic hormone) rise beyond that point and you do more harm than good. So three hours was excessive. And every day? You need days off to recover.
But yeah, eating a diet low in carbs, high in protein, good fats, vegetables and fruits is the best way to lose fat.
Shia looks a bit bigger I agree, but not a huge difference from Transformers and Distubia! If anything he just looks older to me, more mature.oki9Sedo said:
Ford shows the most improvement physically, but yeah it's not like the guy has ever been in poor shape! To look like he did in What Lies Beneath at 58 is damn impressive, and now to be just as ripped at 65 is nuts! I wonder if they gave him any HGH at all, considering his age and plummeting testosterone levels? 3 hours sounds pretty extreme, and hard to believe. I read that too a while back, but an hour of weights with a circuit training regimine 3 days a week, plus 6 days of a cardio and a day of rest would be plenty to get him in shape. This coupled with a healthy high protein/low carb diet, and plenty of supplements would do the trick.

Yeah, Shia does look like he has juist grown up
I had to agree threee hours does seem excessive, though I'm not sure about maximum one hour workout, many martial artists, runners, boxers etc do way more. I personally have 3 days a week of boxing, then the other 3 days I do a 2 mile run, follwed by an hour and a hla fin the gym.
