Nutrition and Training with Henry Cavill

[Music] so here we go i'm going to show you the process see how it goes i hope you enjoy let's do this [Music] um i mean rugby when i was when i was playing rugby i was a young man in school and i believe the kind of rugby training schoolboy rugby training has come a long way since then um but we were just doing the regular kind of training by being on on the field with the ball and we weren't necessarily spending loads of time at the gym uh but as far as brazilian jiu jitsu is concerned uh having trained with roger gracie yeah i've tried to incorporate some of those things but sometimes it can be tricky uh as much as i love bjj and and the sport that it is and what it stands for and and and what it feels like to do is is is fantastic it's not necessarily the most cinematic of sports or martial arts it tends to look a lot like two people cuddling rather than fighting and then one of them goes to sleep usually usually i go with vanilla the chocolate's still good with the berries and oatmeal but it feels a little heavier for a breakfast um i found the when it was winter for some reason i the chocolate and berries and oatmeal was a fantastic combo but in the summer i prefer the 100 grass-fed vanilla with the oatmeal and berries [Music] [Music] um it's a good question uh the the question of abel versus just forcing it in and making it happen uh are two different things and um i i do my utmost to get in four sessions a week monday to friday and if there's a facility to train either if i've set one up at my house or if there's one at the studio i will i will use that and whether it be pre-dawn or whether it be post-work and and just trying to get one in before going to bed it's an absolute necessity and it's very very important uh i haven't experienced that yet i mean obviously arnie had a fair bit more muscle mass than i have had but it's that there's it's something which i'm toying with the idea of i i it's always difficult because you go through especially with uh traveling around a lot not having facilities to train all the time and things always being in flux one can end up going through peaks and troughs of uh being in shape or having the right kind of muscle mass or the right kind of lean muscle and so all you're doing is you're targeting getting back into that shape or a roll now that uh i'm i'm starting to establish and set up more of a regular set of facilities for myself no matter where i am in the world it is going to make it easier for me to be finessing and toying with my my physicality and where my body sits at so there may indeed come a time where i'm going to try and drop a little bit of muscle and and get super super lean to look a certain way for a job but it all depends on the job and it hasn't happened yet but it may very well happen in the future i i do not yet but i'm getting those things set up and it's it's a huge investment but it's something that i've come to realize is a worthwhile investment because with my my my physicality being so important to a lot of my roles it's uh it's something which to have it for example setting up in the same way that uh the rock dwayne has his he has a marquee with all his gym equipment in and to have that outside your house so either you get up early and you go to gym before you go to work or you get home you can put your feet up and then go right i'm gonna go crush your workout and it's right there that is enormously helpful and um while nothing on that scale just yet it's definitely something that i'm investing in to to make the whole thing a a more efficient process [Music] uh the hamstring was probably the worst one uh i did however have a partial tear of my lcl um during brazilian jiu-jitsu in fact and that required a little bit of recovery but nowhere near as bad as the grade two hamstrings there that was that was quite unpleasant i didn't like that uh at the moment no i don't that was enormously helpful for the hamstring recovery and building up all the muscles the small muscles around it the copenhagen plank if i remember correctly really focus on adductor and it helped that enormously and that was required for support with my sprinting and and everything else otherwise the hamstring is going to take too much on it and we wanted to rehab the hamstring without causing it any further damage or anything else around it either and so that kind of stuff which uh freddie murray my physio at the time was was taking me through was all essential towards the recovery of the hamstring [Music] i would say the first time i was introduced to using sports supplements was way back for man of steel when i was working with mark dwight and his then assistant uh michael blevins who later became my trainer as well and um it was yeah that was the first time i was really introduced to it in in a big way of course i've gone far deeper down that rabbit hole now and especially not being quite the spring chicken that i was it's important to make sure that i have all of that supplementary support to make sure that my body is firing on all cylinders and i'm gaining the most from all these hard workouts that i do on top of a hard work [Music] well it was two things it was uh having a a long and storied history in that company and you know that they're going to go for when it came to making sure they're going to take that next step there's they're going to take major steps to doing and the quality of ingredients was enormously important and not only that but the second thing was their their idea of this strength redefined which is strength uh takes more than just muscle and i this is something which i've been trying to share with people across my my fan base and my followers is that yes training very hard in the gym and having great trainers and everything is is fantastic and it really helps towards stuff but it's not the key ingredient the key ingredient is something that we all have in us and that is that strength that perseverance that determination and things like that we have available to all of us and i love that muscle tech which is this this story supplement company is saying that it's not about it's not necessarily about muscles it's about what you have inside first that leads to the muscles and here's a whole bunch of fantastic quality ingredients with many access points whether it be their elite level whether it be their mid-level whether it be their starter level which makes it easier for people to think you know what i can do it too and i think that's the key thing it's just giving people that sense of belief and keying into into that inner strength of theirs and when when we started speaking and muscle tech had their branding and that idea and that message which they were sending out that's the kind of thing which which i think is important and has proven to be very important especially over uh the recent relevant tribulations we'll be going through with [Music] covert the favorite flavor i i wouldn't say i have a favorite flavor that's the kind of thing where i mean the watermelon is one which i've been doing a lot of just because it's the one i had um on tap recently and um it's i like that it's refreshing it's light it's the kind of thing which because when you're working out i was working out in florida a lot recently as well it's 900 degrees just sweating you don't really want something which is too sweet and heavy but you do want something which has a little bit of sweetness to it and the watermelon one worked really well [Music] [Music] um i mean many many moons ago uh i i played around with it this before i was uh sort of going through very physical stages and training very hard i haven't tried it recently um and the trick with that is it's just making sure that your stomach can handle it and it's uh it works for some people um i haven't tried it recently myself as i say but one thing i have learned is that if you find something that works for you keep on doing that and every single body is different it responds in different ways and indeed that response will change over the years as the body ages as it gets used to things or as as it adapts or has it has different external influences on it um it changes and so if it works for you then yeah go for it uh well how i trained 10 years ago was with a different trainer and was a very different style of training it was a more sort of functional fitness and not not crossfit style but kind of it was the pre-crossfit style and how i'm training now is is all about creating an aesthetic i'm now also implementing um sprints in to create a bigger engine as well because uh the engine is going to benefit my my work life um having that fitness inbuilt but also the the the kind of training i do now which is a lot of the bodybuilding type stuff that is useful for work because it can create that certain aesthetic without exhausting me before a long shoot dip and that kind of stuff if you're doing exhausting workouts and a long shoot day it's maintainable for a short period of time but if i'm going from job to job to job over a two-year period i need to make sure that i can be getting my training in without crushing myself so i can actually do the thing which i'm supposed to be there for which is performing a realistic character entertaining awards uh i tell you what i mean it's difficult to say hey cat it's difficult to say um there are any uh particularly i wouldn't want to name any one nick i think all bodybuilders one thing is that i've i've learned a lot of respect for them and what they do it's uh to get to that level to put on that kind of mass to have that kind of control and discipline and then to get that lean that is insane like that the level of lean is is is the crazy bit while maintaining that size and it's um it's extraordinary i went to watch danny garcia my manager perform and uh do it do a show and to see it in real life is enormously inspirational to see these these ladies up on stage who were the just the musculature and the level of lean on them was extraordinary and it was like nothing else i've seen before and that was inspirational uh but so i wouldn't want to name anyone any one particular person but it is for those people out there who haven't tried it it is beyond difficult to get to that that level and uh my hats are off to them for sure um in the off season absolutely uh depending if there's if there's any rugby going on as well definitely that definitely helps uh but i i i do i do love to maintain a balance between work training and lifestyle uh because there's one thing that sitting at home and staring at the walls has taught me is that life is is here to enjoy and to live and um i want to live it healthily but i also want to have fun doing it and so it's about it's about finding that balance and so absolutely i think there's always there's always room for a pint here and there oh well thank you so much it's been a pleasure talking to you today and hopefully we'll get to speak again soon [Music] you
