It\u2019s a bird\u2026 It\u2019s a plane\u2026 It\u2019s Henry Cavill and his insanely muscular shoulders! Being Superman can\u2019t be easy, neither is playing the on-screen version of this Kryptonian hero. Nevertheless, the 38-year-old actor\u2019s high profile roles \u2014 including the DC universe, \u201cThe <\/span>Witcher,\u201d and the burly Sherlock in \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d \u2014 surely compel him to eat certain foods and maintain his bulky deltoids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an A-list actor with a famously shredded physique, Cavill receives lots of guidance on physical transformations from a slew of pros. So if there\u2019s one thing he\u2019s learned, it\u2019s to never stop asking questions. In fact, there were moments when he questioned trainer <\/span>Dave Rienzi<\/a><\/strong> and skipped his recommended pre-bed protein shake in order to lose a few pounds. But once Cavill sent Rienzi a progress photo after taking a three-week shake break, that\u2019s when the actor grew his knowledge and started questioning his trainer more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>That's when I started asking these questions because [Rienzi] then informed me that the problem with that logic is that, yes, you do have fewer calories going into your body, but you also go into a catabolic state with how hard you're training and how hard you're working,\u201d Cavill told <\/span>GQ<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> \u201cSo actually what you're doing is you're losing muscularity while you sleep. So your body won't be looking as good. And almost immediately when I went back to the pre-bed shake, I was like, \u2018Yeah, the body looks better already.\u2019 And for me, that was a massive learning point and a real shock. I thought <\/span>I need to start asking more questions and stop thinking that I can pull a fast one and pull the wool over his eyes<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
