Henry Cavill is among the most adored personalities, both on and off-screen. Besides, the actor is also recognized for his godly physique. While he had to sculpt a specific body for roles such as Superman, he has always maintained a muscular and toned body.

Still from Immortals
In the 2011 fantasy action film Immortals, the actor assumed the role of Theseus, a warrior chosen by the Gods to take on evil forces. Playing the character required Cavill to be extremely fit and maintain a particular physique throughout the shot. To achieve this look, he underwent rigorous training and workouts.

The actor talked about the challenges of getting in shape and then maintaining it. He said that maintaining a 6% body fat while shooting for hours was a real challenge. Juggling all these demands while staying calm and composed proved to be the actor’s biggest hurdle while filming Immortals.
He said (via IMDB):
Cavill is known for his great work ethic and commitment to his roles. So, it doesn’t come as a surprise that he managed to maintain the required physique, even though it wasn’t easy.
Henry Cavill’s Superman Workout Regime Was Difficult Too
Succeeding Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill stepped into the shoes of Superman in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. In the film, the actor showcased a godly physique as a superhero. According to IGN, the actor underwent three stages of workouts to get in that shape.

The first phase involved the actor focusing on Building mass and weight, consuming 5000 calories daily. Despite his love for food, this was not easy for the actor. Cavill shared that as the first phase concluded, he felt like he was going to explode.
Cavill said (via IGN)
“The program involved three stages. The first was to gain weight/mass. So I spent weeks eating nearly 5000 calories daily while lifting extremely heavy, to grow bigger. I love eating, so this stage was not difficult for me, even though I can understand that some people end up having enough of drinking protein shakes 1000 calories a glass. At the end of this stage, I looked like a swole bodybuilder, and I felt like I was going to explode.”
The second phase involved shedding all the fat and carving out the muscles, focusing on specific body areas. Henry Cavill credits his trainer, Mark Twight, for assisting throughout the process.
