Say what you will about the DCEU movies themselves but Superman star Henry Cavill couldn't be faulted for his dedciation and commitment to the role of Superman as he spent endless hours in the gym to sculpt the most accurate physical image of Superman we've seen on the screen till date. And while he wowed fans with his physical transformation for Superman, seems like he was only getting started as he's taken to social media to tease possibly an even more buff physique for his other upcoming iconic role - Geralt of Rivia.

The Telegraph in an interview says "Cavill will drag his eight-pack back to the screen" in a "role that will require him to pump his body up to CGI levels of muscularity." But Cavill as you can see from the pictures is stacked, yoked and ready saying, "I enjoy the physical challenge. I am lucky enough to have the genetics that result in quick changes - I can get really quite big if I set my mind to it." Cavill clearly indicates where he's drawing inspiration from for his ultra-muscular look - from iconic Mr. Olympia champions like Phil Heath whose poster can seen be on Cavill's gym wall. 

How do you think Cavill's portrayal of the character is shaping up? And will he be able to top his performance as Superman?

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The journey continues. Thank you to Mr Dave Rienzi for being such a wonderful guide. My physical journey over the years has been an interesting one, with plenty of pit falls and plenty of moments of reward. I've been reflecting on them a lot recently and I've been very fortunate to work with some fantastic minds. I'm thankful to them all. Recently I've been exploring some of the big players in bodybuilding, both from the past and the present. It's absolutely fascinating to see what they put themselves through, the drive and mental strength required to get to such a place physically. Phil Heath in particular has caught my eye not only for his achievements but also for his genuinely humble and informative approach to his messaging. All this while being a 7x Mr Olympia. If you haven't checked out his page it's worth a peek. @DaveRienzi @PhilHeath #GymStuff
