How Henry Cavill Transformed His Body For The Witcher

Funny how the narrator states that he is blessed to have his shape. However in a few interviews he stated he was not a skinny kid. He has to work out to keep the weight off. He is clearly not naturally slim....he has to work very hard to appear stacked. That is motivating to hear.

[@mosesdouglas4325]

[@box1877]

Agreed & thanks for pointing that out.

[@17MrLeon]

Well we can agree that he was blessed with that square jaw thats something you cant workout for

[@kiirthanjeevan4790]

On the contrary, being a skinny kid isn’t any good of a plus either. High rate of metabolism is actually another extreme (and expensive) peak to counter and gain perfect body size. Being skinny might help for forming fitness framed body, but not easy at all for buffed up body. Trust me. The pain of nomatter how much you eat and exercise, and still your body burns them out n the growth is low? Thats real heartache there.

[@17MrLeon]

@@kiirthanjeevan4790 Cry me a river. What I would give for such metabolism. no matter what I eat it imidiatly stores in fat since my body is constantly in freight of fight state due to high cortisol level. I have actually do some work to be skinny. You just have to eat a lot of protein and you would build muscles. Unless you live in country where beef is expensive you should not have a problem.

Cavill also handles critcism so well with that interview and many could learn from it and it was good to know he does game when he can and knows the witcher character before wanting the role. He should be next bond espec if no more superman movies are in works, they should of done more what a huge mistake. The film Man from UNCLE is underrated and Cavill owns that role. 💯

I love the fact that Henry Cavill is a huggggeeee fan of the video game, and reached out to the director even before the script writing was initiated. For him, I guess, this whole process was a fan crazy paid cosplay lol Nothing is better than doing something you’re crazy about and get paid

Dehydrating your body so your skin will become “thin” and stretch over muscles is insane and if this were a woman we were talking about, this comment section would be in an uproar. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Amazing to see how much detail Henry Cavill has put in, I was skeptical at first (like many), but he's really exceeded all expectations by far! Also great focus to detail looper, from the names of the muscles, to the functionality of the exercises,, this was enjoyable and educational to watch.

[@Wakara101]

And just imagine that they’ll be probably a few more seasons. Hopefully he gives up dehydration before shirtless scenes because that doesn’t sound safe to do long term.

[@_Noluv]

Hugh Jackman did it for years as Wolverine and he’s just fine lol. As long as he has a professional looking after him, he should be good

[@shoooop]

For the amount of work he put in, you’d think he would’ve had more shirtless scenes but they pretty much just showed him laying down and the shot was from the chest up for dialogue after a super quick establishing shot. Hopefully season 2 lets him show off a bit, he’s worked really hard for it.

[@cindyj5522]

he has not sacrificed his speed for the sake of bulk and strength. that's what makes him so fitted for this part.

[@OGGuaves]

So on top of this, Henry played through all of the Witcher games, read all of the books, and even changed up his voice to be a modified version of the original Geralt voice actor's voice, and it really shows this guy's level of passion and dedication to the role.

He's not anywhere as stupid ripped as he was playing Superman and he's smaller than he was in both of those movies but he's probably functionally stronger than he's ever been because that's what he had to focus on instead of pure size/bulk. He looks far more naturally strong in The Witcher.

[@susantunbridge4612]

Cavill seems to be a considerate rider, which makes me wonder about that statement re arms. Battle riding is basically dressage - the Lippizaner horses were expertly trained over years to be able to respond to the rider's smallest command, and could kick another rider out of his saddle, and move in any direction, sideways, forwards, or backwards - as needed. You don't use your arms to forcibly control a horse, movements of the horse are transmitted through your legs, body weight, muscular signals to the horse. The reins are used for guidance, not control. If you haul on the horse's mouth, you're going to damage and ruin his mouth, turn it into what is known as a "hard mouth", ie has lost its sensitivity and ability to respond to the rider's "ask". Gentlemen riders of medieval times knew this, a good rider was known by his "good hands", ie soft and responsive hands, never hauling on a horse's mouth. Movies have ruined that, because they went after the hamfisted perception that it's just cool to see a horse's mouth painfully hauled open by the rider wrenching the reins, and forcing his mouth open. In reality, that does not work. Watch the Lippizzaners.

[@nizal9388]

Fasting, 20 mins cardio, compound exercises like romanian dead lift, supersets by combining front and lateral deltoid raises, lot of reps include static hold of 2 or 5 seconds for isometric contraction, dont forget holding contraction for transverse abdominus and obliques using cable machine....simple?
