How Henry Cavill Got RIPPED For Man Of Steel! (Crossfit?!)
Here is how Henry Cavill got ripped for superman!
Henry Cavill's training for Super Man was long, painful and brutal, but it changed him as a person, not only body but in mind as well, and let him truly become Superman. Henry Cavill felt enormous pressure to nail the role makes sense, since Superman is probably the most famous superhero of all time and represents the best of mankind. Those are some pretty big boots to fill, and we felt the most pressure during his harder workouts, where he'd be up in his head negotiating with himself to keep pushing even though he really wanted to quit. But there was a single moment in his training that he feels truly let him become Superman.Before we get to that, we need some context. Henry Cavill was hot off the heels of immortals when he started to prep for Man of Steel, and while he was definitely in great shape for immortals, he had a lot of weight to pack on if he didn't want that blue spandex to be baggy.So Henry need to hit the gym. And luckily for him, Zack Snyder, the director of Man of Steel, knew just the gym. Jim Jones Mark White is the owner and operator of Jim Jones, and he's the man responsible for getting Gerard Butler and the rest of the Spartans.Their eight packs for 300 and Mark had just five months to help Henry get Superman to make sure Henry was ready for his big, shirtless scenes. They went through a big bulk and then a cut during the first two months of training.They slowly increased the intensity of the workouts, eventually getting to the point where Henry would be training for two and a half hours a day. And at the peak of the ball, he was eating 5000 to 6000 calories a day, and by the end of the bulk, he was up 20 #s.Then, as shooting approached, they slowly cut back the calories to make sure Henry was nice and lean. For those classic superhero shirtless scenes while Henry was bulking, the diet was definitely less strict in terms of what he could eat.Seeing that he could have things like burgers because he was more focused on just packing on mass and getting the calories out, but then he really needed to improve the quality of the food and real things in during the cut.Now there was one big thing that was non-negotiable during Henry's training. This is a quote from Mark Twain. It's like, Hey guy, you want to be Superman? Then do this one other thing, which might be the most important piece of it.So Mark made Henry Cavill get nine to ten hours of sleep every single night for the duration of the Prep. This is because Mark understands like an improper sleep is just as important as proper training and nutrition when it comes to muscle building.Well, this is the surprising part. Henry Cavill didn't do a conventional bodybuilding program like I expected when I started to research this video, even though Mark quite is known for training actors. He actually spends most of his time training members of the army, and his training style definitely reflects this mark essentially had Henry Cavill doing CrossFit workouts so clearly for Man of Steel. They didn't just want Henry to get really big, but they also wanted him to be able to move and perform stunts without getting injured. And a more functional form of fitness, like CrossFit is actually much better suited for this goal than bodybuilding because bodybuilders look great, but they aren't necessarily themost athletic. Oh, Henry's training was always changing, and they never did the same workout twice. Another thing that's a little bit unusual, so because of this, we don't have access to a full plan. But let's break down one of Henry's most intense workouts for Man of Steel.So first, you do four sets of a complex of deadlifts bent over rows, hang cleans, front squats, push press and back squats over two complexes. Pretty much just means you're performing all these exercises back to back without putting the bar down, just like we talked about.This is a big challenge for your cardiovascular system and your overall endurance because these are all big full body movements. Then he did ten sets of the following. first, you do three reps of a back squat at £225.Then he would superset that with a sprint of 100 meters on a rowing machine. Again, this is absolutely brutal. This type of workout definitely teaches you how to perform under pressure. Because each set of back squats you go into, you'll still be fatigued from the last sprint.Then, as a finisher, Henry would do five sets of pushups to failure, resting only 30 seconds between each set. So as you can see, this whole workout is full body, just like many CrossFit workouts. The workout is based on getting in a large amount of volume on big compound movements, which will lead to increased cardiovascular capacity, muscle size and overall athleticism.
